Add: Category:Cue sports biography stubs (when it exists) to Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/to do in the sports section; Category:World record holders to appropriate articles (there are at least two pool player stubs that need this); finished pool player infobox (and snooker one if absent) to Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Infoboxes; {{Sport overview}} to main articles of cue games that are real sports; medal table tags where they apply (see Ding Junhui for example. Insert: Cue sports events (tournament results, etc.) into the "year in sports" categories (e.g. 1965 in sports), using {{subst:Cue sports heading}} if that year doesn't have one yet. Change: Dates of salient events in article (tournaments, etc., not unimportant usages) to "year in sports" instead of "year" wikilinks (e.g. 1965 instead of 1965). Replace: Soccer infobox at Thorsten Hohmann with pool one when it is finished. Some day: Seek Featured Topic status.
