Talk:List of miscellaneous poker variants

Merge

Why isn't this article merged with List of poker variants? It's not that long and would be more convenient to have all in one place. Besides, I would anticipate a single list eventually that links to separate articles for each variant. --Tysto 01:35, 2005 August 16 (UTC)

I agree. There is no reason why it should have a seperate article. --IRelayer 20:32, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Copyvio? Plagiarism?

The text of this article is identical to the text at http://www.pokerliveonline.com/pokergames2.htm (before I rewrote the Guts section). The rest of the game descriptions on that site are also identical to pages here. I don't know who copied from who. If we copied them, then it's a copyright violation I'm sure. If they copied from Wikipedia, is that a FDL violation? I would think so, but the GNU_FDL page seems to say no (at the bottom). GGano

If they copied from us, then it's a GFDL violation because we require that licensees:

• your materials in turn have to be licensed under GFDL,
• you must acknowledge the authorship of the article (section 4B), and
• you must provide access to the "transparent copy" of the material (section 4J). (The "transparent copy" of a Wikipedia article is its wiki text.)

They have done none of those things. Question is, did they copy from us? Martin

Many of the poker pages were originally written by Lee Daniel Crocker, who placed them in the public domain (but subsequent edits from other users here will be under GFDL license.) Annoyingly, the edit histories of many of these articles were butchered when renamed from subpages back in the day. (They can be restored with some effort.) First recorded version[1] of this article is by LDC. --Brion 22:20 Feb 22, 2003 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the info. I'll add a mention of this to all the relevant talk pages. --GGano

Additiona Poker variant?

Where would be the best place for a description of

H.O.R.S.E ( poker )

A game or tournament format in which five forms of poker are played in rotation, usually either half an hour of each or one round of each. The games are limit hold 'em, Omaha/8, razz, seven-card stud (high), and seven-card stud high-low (the e standing for 8-or-better).
