I have used the {{
Fact}} ("citation needed") template in several places in the article to mark some places where specific reference citations would be a good idea. This article is entirely unsourced, and as such it is in serious danger of deletion. I would also recommend creating a sourced article about the champion and tournament that are presently red-links in the article, to give this topic more depth in Wikipedia. Non-English sources can be used, perhaps from the Estonian and Latvian articles on this topic, but they should be verified by a native speaker to actually support the facts that are citing them here. Please report any progress on that front here on the talk page. Please use the <ref name="SomethingUnique">[http://whatever "Title of Source"], Author of Source, ''Publication Name'', publication date, city of publication</ref>
reference citation format to the extent possible (i.e. leave off the link if the source is a paper book, or leave off the Author of Source information if the author is not identified, e.g. in the Latvian Novus Federation rulebooks, and so on. —

This article misleadingly attempts to imply that novuss is not simply a variant of carrom. That needs to get fixed. It's blatantly obviously just a variant of carrom, and not very different from American carrom, Australian puck pool, and other cued carrom variants. — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ cont ‹(-¿-)› 16:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
The article claims that novuss itself is spreading around the world, but this seems unlikely. It is likely that game being referred to as novuss in such contexts is a non-novuss, cue-using carrom variant in several other of these countries. Actual evidence that novuss itself (not just American-style or new carrom variants) is being played in the US, Canada, Australia, Israel, England and Germany needs to be cited; Finland, Russia, Georgia and the Ukraine are more plausible.

I see a call above for sources for this article - it still badly needs more sources. In particular, it shouldn't be too hard for a speaker of the language to find a source for the statement that it has become a national sport - and then it can be readded to that article with that source.
