Books list

The books list should be severely trimmed. This is an encyclopedia article, not a library catalog database dump. Quale (talk) 05:34, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

POV

Too much praise and too much "prolific" in the article about not-so-notorious figure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.40.96.254 (talk) 11:29, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If one writes over 200 books, one is a prolific writer; that is a fact, not POV. I have taken out anything that is arguably POV or too gushy ("a very strong player"; "a true polymath"; and the description of some of his defeated opponents as "luminaries"). It seems to me that the article is now indisputably NPOV. Krakatoa (talk) 15:46, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your small changes have improved the article (almost entirely written by you originally as well). Edward Winter has taken another small swipe at Reinfeld recently, see http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=5578. 165.189.101.177 (talk) 18:51, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that, although we don't know whether the statements in question were written by Reinfeld or the publisher. Are you willing to remove the tag on the article now, or do you still contend that it is POV? Krakatoa (talk) 23:00, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
