With the "Lynx-friendly" diagram, the issue is to use a modular diagram so that there can be a text equivalent for each square? -- Stellmach 15:51, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
The current diagram is my attempt to have something that doesn't just look like dots but still meets the lynx-friendly thing. I went with a graphic design similar to the Draughts page, though actually a little closer to the Amerian Checkers Federation diagrams, only still not so garish. -- Stellmach 20:12, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Three Musketeers (game) → Three musketeers (game) – Per WP:GAMECAPS, we don't cap game names unless they are trademarked (e.g. product names), as Dungeons & Dragons is. This one is not (I search the US trademark database, and didn't it). It's more like Texas hold 'em. Dicklyon ( talk) 01:37, 10 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BD2412 T 03:08, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Not quite like Texas hold 'em, as "Texas" would be uppercased in sentence case. Is "Three Musketeers" itself a proper name?
This n-gram shows that lowercased is often used, even though the common name "Three Musketeers" is much more familiar. On this one Dicklyon might be right, so Support until someone changes my mind, maybe something having to do with the uppercased copyright.

- Probably very few of those in the n-gram stats are about the game, as there are so many more common uses, including lots of titles. And yes,
Texas hold 'em was not the best example;
six-plus hold 'em is a bit more parallel here.

- I was just checking the n-grams to make sure lowercased "three musketeers" was often used to refer to the Three Musketeers. Randy Kryn ( talk) 04:39, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

- This is not a traditional game like chess or checkers or Texas hold 'em ("little is known about the invention of Texas hold 'em") or six-plus hold 'em, but rather something designed by a specific author and introduced in one particular book in 2011. Should it really matter whether someone officially trademarked it? — BarrelProof ( talk) 21:37, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
