Thanks for your work on [[Yugoslav Chess Championship]]. It looks to me like the event numbers don't match up with what our sources say. For example, http://www.rogerpaige.me.uk/tables10.htm indicates that the 1939 championship is the 4th, but our table says 5th. [http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/twic231#12 TWIC 231 - 12th April 1999] has the 1999 championship as the 54th and says it was halted due to [[NATO]] bombing. Our page has the championship as the 59th. Do you know how we should reconcile this? [[User:Quale|Quale]] 20:05, 27 September 2007 (UTC) |

*You're doing great and really helping out. Take your time, and I hope you enjoy yourself here—your contributions are appreciated. We can talk about what we should do with the [[Yugoslav Chess Championship]] page on its talk page, [[Talk:Yugoslav Chess Championship]]. Off the top of my head, one idea would be to use two subsections in the article, and put a small table with the first 5 championships in a Before WW II section and then a larger table in an After WW II section. If the championship has a split numbering, that might make sense, and it gives a good opportunity to explain what happened. I think articles with reasonbly sized sections are easier to read rather than really long tables or blocks of text. An example of an article that is sort of set up that way is [[U.S. Chess Championship]]. Before 1936, the U.S. Championship wasn't really under the control of a central chess organization. It was thought to belong to the current champion, in the same way that the [[World Chess Championship]] was before [[FIDE]] (and again when Kasparov quit FIDE). The U.S. Championship page is not very good right now and the Yugoslav Championship page is already better in a lot of ways, which means I should get to work to fix the U.S. page.

Revision as of 22:02, 27 September 2007
Thanks for your fixes to the Girls U-20 results. It's hard to find accurate information on the girls events, and most of the printed references used by the page predate the establishment of the girls championship. Quale 02:56, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

- You're doing great and really helping out. Take your time, and I hope you enjoy yourself here—your contributions are appreciated. We can talk about what we should do with the Yugoslav Chess Championship page on its talk page, Talk:Yugoslav Chess Championship. Off the top of my head, one idea would be to use two subsections in the article, and put a small table with the first 5 championships in a Before WW II section and then a larger table in an After WW II section. If the championship has a split numbering, that might make sense, and it gives a good opportunity to explain what happened. I think articles with reasonbly sized sections are easier to read rather than really long tables or blocks of text. An example of an article that is sort of set up that way is U.S. Chess Championship. Before 1936, the U.S. Championship wasn't really under the control of a central chess organization. It was thought to belong to the current champion, in the same way that the World Chess Championship was before FIDE (and again when Kasparov quit FIDE). The U.S. Championship page is not very good right now and the Yugoslav Championship page is already better in a lot of ways, which means I should get to work to fix the U.S. page.
