@Oliszydlowski and GiantSnowman: I was following this earlier edit.  But it is true, I do not know of an explicit rule that would require this; it only seems natural, given the abbreviated nature of everything in the infobox.  Bruce leverett (talk) 05:00, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Well, there's definitely an accessibility guideline that discourages use of <small>...</small> in an infobox: see MOS:SMALL.  Like many wikipedia guidelines this wasn't delivered from the heavens chiseled in stone, so there's no reason to expect anyone would know that wikipedia has made that style decision if they hadn't run across it before.  I used to use smaller text occasionally in infoboxes before I realized that this was a no-no.  Given pause to reconsider, I saw that I agreed with the rule and stopped.

Why not just link to the German name of the place as it was then? If anyone is really interested they can click on the link and get redirected to Barlinek. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 07:32, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
We wouldn't say that Jesus was born in Israel/Palestine, or that Caesar was born in Italy etc. - we use the historically relevant name. GiantSnowman 10:37, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

The infobox photo is an elderly Lasker.  He was most famous when he was younger and the reigning world champion.  Would it be better to use a photo of a younger Lasker? 74.71.17.99 (talk) 21:21, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

He had an extraordinarily long career in chess, and at the time of the photo (1929), he still had some major tournaments to go.  I do not object to the infobox photo we are currently using, but if you have a particular one in mind, let's discuss it. Bruce leverett (talk) 00:43, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

As of 2009, when the article achieved GA, it was using mdy dates, although there was no "use mdy dates" directive, musta been ancient history.
Lasker was a native of Germany, but he lived in the United States for some years; a photograph of him playing in the St. Petersburg 1909 tournament shows him playing under the U.S. flag. Also, he lived in the Soviet Union for a few years in the 1930's, and then moved to the United States again in 1937. Bruce leverett (talk) 15:17, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
