Talk:Pick-up sticks

Mikado?

I think the article Mikado and this one should be the same one. Can someone unify it? Liege (talk) 21:45, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

I don't think that they are the same, each one has enough separate information and distinct subjects to justify keeping them separated. BlowingTopHat 23:10, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

So what I would do is add See Also links at the top and bottom of both articles to link them together without merging them. BlowingTopHat 23:13, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

I think someone should mention also that this game can be used to make annoying or loud children be quiet or more calm. i.e. giving them something to do rather than pester one another or an adult. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.204.43.2 (talk) 20:06, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Yes; and if all else fails, the annoying children may be given 2 sticks each (one to hold in each hand) and encouraged to run around randomly. The expected time until someone trips over and perforates an eyeball is then about 2 minutes. This will typically and permanently silence all children except the one recently visually impaired, who will persist on crying, but this time for a good reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.102.225.204 (talk) 00:45, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

There are quite different historical pick-up games. Mikado is one of those games of equal-sized wooden sticks, but by the colors have different values. I think it's good to keep a general article and a special about Mikado. I will install the following reference:

The today most common pick-up game is Mikado. For details, see there. Claus Ableiter (talk) 16:44, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

I've added the merge proposal templates. Neither of these articles are referenced, and a quick search suggests that they are the same. power~enwiki (π, ν) 06:29, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Closing merge proposal given no support and earlier opposition. Klbrain (talk) 17:02, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

kaiserspiel redirect

This should not be redirected from kaiserspiel, because kaiserspiel is a card game, not pick up sticks... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.17.229.64 (talk) 07:52, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Extreme edition

"Nick Mathews came up with a version called pick up sticks extreme edition that usually includes sticks the size of tree trunks and anal beads." No citation. A google search of "pick up sticks extreme edition" yields no relevant search results except for this article. Churdtzu (talk) 20:30, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
