Miss or Quit
editAfter Schmidt ran 626, did he miss or quit? 2605:E000:2E52:FA00:2D5F:996E:9230:AFF6 (talk) 22:57, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- I'd assume he missed. I haven't found a source saying either way. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 07:49, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
The video was never released so who knows. His high run videos on youtube contain numerous breaks which disqualify them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.86.0.78 (talk) 21:49, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
The Video was never released
editThis must be in the Wikipedia article until Schmidt ever might release the video which he has still never done. 47.202.49.36 (talk) 13:37, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- Do you have any reliable sources that discuss that him not releasing the video is notable? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:30, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- It is obviously important to this Wikipedia article. He claims he has a video as proof but he won't show it. This should be mentioned here in Wikipedia. His extraordinary claim should require proof be shown. 47.202.49.36 (talk) 01:36, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
Critics have argued that Mosconi's record was made in competition while Schmidt simply set up break shots for himself, and that his video was never released.[1][2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.202.49.36 (talk) 02:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Jayson Shaw beat it
editI have tried to edit this to reflect this but an administrator returns it saying there are no rs! John Schmidt , himself , has congratulated Jayson on breaking it? Surely that is enough? Montievans1 (talk) 14:30, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
