Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chess/Index of chess articles

message: Initial list based on articles linking to chess. Update as needed. Moved from main page.  Bubba73 (talk), 00:51, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: initial list

message: Does Go (board game) really belong here? I don't see how go is a chess topic any more than checkers or Stratego or tic-tac-toe is a chess topic. Krakatoa 23:50, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've found that some articles just mention chess once.  Something like "bridge is the chess of card games" (fabricated example). Bubba73 (talk), 02:34, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Go

message: Do you think it would be good to seperate the list into biographies and other articles?  The bio section would consist of only biographies, A-Z by last name, the other section would have all other articles, A-Z.  Just a thought.  Bubba73 (talk), 15:11, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I like the idea. Did it. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 22:51, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for doing that, I know it was a lot of work.  I also wondered about seperating out the articles on openings, but now it seems to be pretty balanced between bio and non-bio. You did a good job.  Bubba73 (talk), 23:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Separated the opening articles now. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 16:05, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Seperate out biographies? 

message: For items on this list, please be sure to use the name of the actual article and not one that redirects to it.  The reason is so it will show up under "related changes".  Bubba73 (talk), 18:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  use actual article name, not a redirect 

message: It would be good if we put a line like this one at the top of the discussion page 
  
Put in yes/no for "living".  I've done it for a few, but there must be many without such a tag.  Bubba73 (talk), 02:32, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  bio tag 

message: But I do think this list is poorly organized. A simple alphabetical list works for content that is about a single subject, but this is about multiple subjects only related by one topic.  I think it might be more helpful to organize it by subtopic. FrozenPurpleCube 17:12, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not too long ago I suggested that the list be divided in biographies and non-biographies.  Openings could also be seperated out.  Also see Category:Chess.  Bubba73 (talk), 17:30, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds like a start.  I also suggest a section on organizations and competitive play.  FrozenPurpleCube 17:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not sure if that was the best template 

message: I disagree with the removal of 'Magical objects in Harry Potter'. 'Wizard chess' is one of the things getting teenagers interested in chess at the moment. While the current section says little about chess, it's got a better case to create a seperate 'Wizard Chess' article covering this from Jeremy Silman then removing the existing one in my opinion. ChessCreator (talk) 17:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that just because chess is mentioned in a list of tons of other objects is not enough to consider this article as chess-related. If there were a full article about this game, that would of course be different. SyG (talk) 22:00, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I agree. A separate page would be the solution, I suggested to move the 'Wizard's Chess' subject out onto it's own page see Talk:Magical_objects_in_Harry_Potter, but that was declined. So that leaves a requirement to expand the existing section when it then would be a chess topic. ChessCreator (talk) 23:33, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Magical objects in Harry Potter

message: Strange, no entries for either of these although when the USSR still existed it's championship was the strongest in the world and the Soviet Chess School produced a large number of World Champions. I am looking in the wrong place? If not I may create these pages in the future.  SmokeyTheCat  •TALK• 14:54, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: We have USSR Chess Championship; I don't think we have a USSR Chess School article though. --Pawnkingthree (talk) 15:09, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Do we need the "other articles mentioning chess" section?  Aren't these the same as Wikipedia:WikiProject Chess/Assessment/Bottom importance?  Or could they be moved to another page or a subpage of this page?  Bubba73 (talk), 03:35, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The section "Other articles mentioning chess" is exactly the same as Wikipedia:WikiProject Chess/Assessment/Bottom importance. They are in Index of chess articles because it is part of the agreement to please both Voorlandt and yourself, as discussed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chess#Removing_bottom_class_articles_from_the_index_of_chess_articles_-_I_object. They cannot be moved to a subpage of the present page because articles cannot have subpages. SyG (talk) 12:35, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I thought the understanding was that the bottom articles would not be on the index page.  Maybe I misunderstood.  Bubba73 (talk), 15:32, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

text:  I'm afraid that my original idea has turned out to be counter-productive.  For instance, I put George C. Scott in the Bottom importance area because it just mentions that he plays chess.  My intention was to get these things basically out of the chess project, but it didn't work that way.  Bubba73 (talk), 15:45, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As pointed out in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chess#Removing_bottom_class_articles_from_the_index_of_chess_articles_-_I_object, Voorlandt did not agree with removing the Bottom-importance articles from the index of articles. Or have I misunderstood ? SyG (talk) 16:18, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I certainly don't want to mess up the work that Voorlandt does.  Bubba73 (talk), 23:33, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Since the page was in violation of multiple policies, including WP:SELFREF and WP:INTDABLINK, I have implemented the solution of moving this page to project space, as an alternative to outright deletion of the page. Cheers! bd2412 T 21:20, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
