Those new examples are seriously nice (particularly the 2nd one). Is it ok to use hands from books btw? I've always either made them up or used ones that occured to me in real life. (I don't think I'd have found the play to make the 2nd one...:-) ) Cambion 14:05, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry. I'm new here and didn't realize that usages such as "ingenuine" are acceptable. 4.241.218.91 14:58, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- I guess it's up to the writer's style: while formal style is generally preferred, my own preference (on wikipedia as well in general) is to resort to jargon if it gets straight to the point. Your formulation "a play by declarer that takes advantage of a layout of the cards" meant nothing, as pretty much every technique in bridge is exactly that. Duja► 09:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Oh, and I assumed it was ok to use hands from books. I noticed that the hand used to illustrate a backwash squeeze is taken, pip for pip, from Ottlik and Kelsey's Adventures in Card Play. But shouldn't the article have credited the source of the hand directly? 4.241.217.35 14:01, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- No hard and fast rules; but yes, if an example is taken from a book, it should be credited. I don't think the bridge hands and examples can be copyrighted, as they represent ideas rather than original artwork, and the ideas are not copyrightable (but do deserve due credit).
Oh, and thank you for your contributions. I assume you're the same person as User:FutharkRed? You're certainly welcome to continue to edit not logged-in (as an "anon"), but it's generally better to stick to a user account for both you (more anonymity, your contributions centralized under the account name) and other wikipedians (easier to talk with a "real name" than with a dynamic IP address).
