All-rounder?

Should Paul Magriel feature on List of all-rounders in games of skill? (See discussion on Talk:List of all-rounders in games of skill.) -- JocK 18:56, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image

I removed the image Image:paulmagriel.jpg from this page. It's a screenshot of a TV program, and (as Template:tv-screenshot makes clear) such an image can only be fair use to talk about the program, not merely to illustrate the person shown.

Book cover

An image of Magriel's Backgammon book cover such as this one would be a good addition to the article. — Athaenara ✉ 05:54, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Footnotes

Footnote number 7 is inaccurate. The very first edition listed Renee Magriel in a full collaborator on the book on the acknowledgments page.Roserose1 15:57, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

X-22

So far, found this^[1] while searching for references other than the foreword of the 2004 edition of Backgammon for the origin of the X-22 nickname. The Esquire magazine reference would be great but it was published 27 years ago and I haven't found it online. — Athaenara ✉ 07:51, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Biography assessment rating comment

The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 17:24, 19 June 2007 (UTC) Tournament dice at the World Championships in Monte Carlo are marked for authenticity. I played with X-44 a couple of years ago. I formed a conjecture, which I have not confirmed, that Magriel became known as X-22 because he won the World Championship with X-22 diceAdambulldog 13:34, 20 June 2007 (UTC) No, he gave himself that name. See Shamberg article in Esquire and foreword to 2004 edition of Backgammon. Roserose1 20:14, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
