[edit] 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)

[edit] 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. Stephen Turner (Talk) 13:52, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)
