Is this ever going to be an encyclopedia article, or just a wiktionary entry? If the latter, it should be on the wiktionary instead. --Robert Merkel 15:22 23 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- I made it because the article on amulet mentioned it as the opposite item from an amulet, and it seemed to me that there ought to be another article here for completeness' sake. It does go slightly beyond a definition, pointing to an example from popular culture. -- IHCOYC 15:35 23 Jun 2003 (UTC)
There's--quite frankly--too much about the Jinx kids game in this... Sure it belongs here--as a sub-heading--but this amount of frivolous information (Do we really need to know that California Jinx players have to hold their urine?) lessens the value of the rest of the article. 193.255.108.20 08:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Just a anecdotal comment, part of my personal family history has been the telling that Allen Sangree (a great uncle of mine), a sports journalist from around the turn of the last century may have been one of the first people to use the word Jinx to mean someone who brought bad luck.

[edit] Removed cleanup tag
I removed a cleanup tag from this article in the process of rearranging its contents. I don't see any specific issues raised on this talk page that seem to require it; the article is reasonably well referenced, and I did do some rearranging of the material there. Those things are too quick to be tossed around and too slow to disappear. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:42, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
