Talk:International Chopin Piano Competition

message: There was never a 'k' in Chopin's given name.  Does the official name of this competition include a 'k', or is this a mistake on the part of the creator of this Wiki page?  Cheers JackofOz 23:11, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The competition's official website (English version) actually uses the Polish spelling "Fryderyk". However, I moved the article to the spelling most commonly used in English, that is, the French "Frédéric". — Kpalion(talk) 14:11, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I don't think the one entry that says Adam Harasiewicz won in 1955 is correct.  I've seen numerous websites and heard from other people that the person who won this competition in 1955 was Chinese Pianist Fou Ts'ong. There is also no article on Fou Ts'ong on Wikipedia vilmosgelb 14:55, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

message: This is not an article about the chinese pianist Yundi Li. The info about his victory in 2000 is not relevant in the introduction of the article, which should reflect the principal characteristics of the competition. I think this info should be moved somewhere else in the article (or to Yundi Li's article) or deleted. Cheers! --Karljoos (talk) 22:51, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I think the article should focus in the history of the competition, the importance it had discovering new talents etc. The list of the winners should be in a different article linked from this article. What do you think? --Karljoos (talk) 22:55, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it could have more info on its history, influence etc. But the list of winners, while accounting for the majority of the space at present, is not so large that it needs to be in a separate article.  If we included a large amount of text about the stuff you suggest, that might make the article too large and in that case the winners' list might be separated out.  But let's cross that bridge when we come to it.  --  JackofOz (talk) 23:09, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Good. If have I some time I will try to work a bit on the history of the competition. The article, as it is now, is basically just the winner's list! Let's cross the bridge, mate! ;) --Karljoos (talk) 23:24, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Should this be a template that can be used at the bottom of the page of each of the winning pianists? This competition seems important enough to merit one. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make one myself.Squandermania (talk) 22:13, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The flag shouldn't be the current flag of Germany. It's not a fortunate choice, but Nazi Germany was the legitimate government at that time. --Explosivo (talk) 02:10, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

message: I have moved this section here; it was unreferenced and seems undue weight in the article. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:30, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
