[edit] Directions for expanding any division below

The general outline and collection has been started, but if you would like to expand and organize your country/region, here's what you do. Right below the page heading for your country/region insert this: {{subst:Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Work groups/Division banner}} and save. This will put a rough outline together for you and then you can edit it to conform to your area. If your project grows large enough where it's taking up a good portion of this page, you should probably move it to a subpage of this page.

You might also want to make a Members section for people to join your specific area!

[edit] Tagging articles

Any article related to this work group should be marked by adding |sports-work-group=yes to the {{WPBiography}} project banner at the top of its talk page This will automatically place it into Category:Sports and games work group articles. Articles can be assessed for priority within this work group by using the |sports-priority= parameter. See Template:WPBiography/doc for detailed instructions on how to use the banner.

• Main bio categories: Category:Cue sports players and Category:Cue sports non-player personalities, subdivided by game type and nationality (including snooker subcats with similar names)
• Needs:

• Most bio articles in this field are still stubs, and do not cite sources except in a very vague way; many are also WP:PEACOCK, {{Magazine}}, and or WP:WEASEL transgressors, among other such copyediting issues.
• Loads of important bio articles are missing; our current wanted list: WP:CUEBIOS
• Few articles are assessed at all
• Well-developed articles need serious assessment & ratings (e.g. Walter Lindrum, Willie Mosconi, Willie Hoppe, etc.), and a push to GA and FA status.
