thread_title: Televised

message: The map highlighting the nations participating in the 1926 Olympiad is highly misleading since it uses a modern map as its base. The political map in 1926 was vastly different from today, with Germany being an important example since it participated but is shown with its current (as of 2009) borders.
Also, what the dark green coloring means in the 2006 map is never explained. -- JovanCormac (talk) 12:55, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The picture's own page has the explanation, though it is never in this article... 85.217.15.230 (talk) 02:43, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Misleading Maps 

message: Shouldn't the article include the "Anti-Olympiad" in Tripoli in 1976, arranged and attended by the countries that boycotted the "real" Olympiad in Haifa. After all, the non-FIDE Nazi propaganda event in 1936 is included as well. And shouldn't the 1976 event have it's own article too? - perhaps 4th unofficial Chess Olympiad? dllu (talk) 09:21, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Anti-Olympiad

message: Is there any information available why it is called "olympiad"? Because when concerning the actual olympics, it means the interval between olympics, not the games itself. 85.217.15.230 (talk) 00:28, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article has a listing of the "Best Individual Results," but fails to mention on what board the results were obtained.  Almost surely all the players mentioned played on first board, but mention of that fact should definitely be made. Abenr (talk) 23:42, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Table of Best Individual Results 

message: In my opinion, the interview by chess.com to the FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich  clarifies why the results of the Online Olympics belong to their own page, not here.
Here the most relevant quote:
“But the name is not FIDE Chess Olympiad, the name is FIDE Chess Online Olympiad. The name is different. I don't think we should consider the two Olympiads as completely the same, put them in the same line. I think the Online Olympiad is really important, it's a big event, but it's just not the same and we should all understand that.”

replies: text: I restored again the page. Should the Online Olympiad medals be added again to the totals without discussion, I'll ask the admins to intervene. --Gengis Gat (talk) 10:31, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you. I don't have an account so I'm not sure how to contact admin. It's getting quite ridiculous now. I should point out a further reason to not include the results from the online olympiad is that silver and bronze medals were not awarded...

replies: text: I don't think the online olympiad should even be in the table. It's a different kind of event, not part of the normal continuum of chess olympiads. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 05:26, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The vandal has been reported (). Let us see if this bring some result. Obviously, should they be reading, they are welcome to present their reasons in this page. --Gengis Gat (talk) 09:33, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The vandal has been blocked for the last two days. He is now unblocked again, let us see if the reverts stop. Otherwise I agree with MaxBrowne2 that the medals should not be in the table at all. It was not an unofficial event like the others whith the grey background, it was just an event of another type. So my preferred version of the table would be this one: , except for replacing "Cancelled and postponed" with just "postponed". But the current version is also acceptable.

thread_title:  Online Chess Olympiad 

message: The "multiple time medalists" table is supposed to show every player, who won 7 or more team medals. Peter Svidler was part of the Russian teams that won 5 gold medals (1994,1996,1998,2000,2002) and 2 Silver Medals (2004, 2010). I might be making a simple mistake here, but shouldn't he be on the list? 2001:9E8:6CF0:1D00:5D3D:349E:B51D:46FD (talk) 00:13, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: If indeed he won 7 team medals, then yes, he should appear on the list. The bigger problem is that none of the information is sourced, so there is no easy way to verify any of the information in the table without manual checking. Greenman (talk) 09:16, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
