[edit] Footnotes
The seemingly interesting footnotes have been removed but the anchors in brackets are still there, I don't know how to edit pages well enough to find the links in the edit history. 81.102.70.118 12:51, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- My bad - I deleted a bunch of spam that got entered in that section and inadvertantly deleted the footnotes too. Thanks for pointing it out. Rray 14:05, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
I modernized this page and totally revamped it - the information was archaic and the methodology and keno rules therein were outdated and provided misinformation. The statistics were fine, although I embellished on them a bit. User:naunie 11-16-07
- I didn't add that tag, but if you think the tone of the article is encyclopedic, you should go ahead and be bold and remove the tag from the page. Whoever added the tag should have included a discussion of the problem on the talk page anyway. Rray (talk) 04:45, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Worldwide tag
I removed this tag as no justification was added for it here on the talk page. If someone wants to explain why this article doesn't reflect a worldwide view of the subject here so that we can discuss it, then they should do so and re-add it. -- Rray (talk) 22:20, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Clean up
The article is very informative in parts but breaks down into first person and a jocular tone at times. I would attempt a cleanup but I have no idea about gambling. Padness (talk) 23:12, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Removed "clean up" tag. First and second person references removed as pointed out were cleaned up. All other information herein I believe to be encyclopedic. Please point out specific areas of concern if any and I thank you for your input. Not sure which parts you consider jocular. Happy to fix 'em if I know areas of concern Naunie (talk) 23:31, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- This article isn't even close to being well-written enough to warrant removing the cleanup tag. The part of the lead regarding how keno pays out is almost incomprehensible. A passage later on the pages indicates something about it being "unfortunate" that keno is considered a bad bet. That's imprecise language at best, and opinionated weak writing at worst. (I know I indicated otherwise in an earlier thread on this page, but after reading this article a little more closely, I realized that this article is in dire need of cleaning up still.)

Performed requested cleanup and thank you for your kind comments Naunie (talk) 08:08, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- I've re-added the cleanup tag. The article still suffers from some really long almost incomprehensible sentences, and the tense jumps around. Much of it is wordier than it needs to be. I've fixed some of it, but I don't have time to edit the whole thing tonight. Rray (talk) 03:18, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- Another problem the article has is inconsistent capitalization of the word "keno". Keno isn't a proper noun and shouldn't be capitalized unless it's at the beginning of a sentence or part of a title. I've cleaned some of these up, but I'm sure more instances of this exist.

[edit] Reliable sources?
Some of the sources cited in the article seem pretty unreliable to me. They look like generic, anonymous articles used on online casino or online casino portal sites. The biggest problem is that they're anonymous and might not be reliable. If someone has better sources to add, that would be a big help. (The history section's citations are particularly poor quality, I think.) Rray (talk) 23:23, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Also, the section about the detailed mathematical analysis is completely unreferenced. I added a refimprove tag to the article to indicate that more sources are needed. If sources aren't added, that section should be removed until sourcing can be added. Rray (talk) 23:28, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
