Link
The link associated with William Pollock leads to William Pegues Pollock. This is entirely incorrect. The person who played in Hastings 1895 was Dr. William Henry Krause Pollock. He came in 19 out of 22 with a score of 8.0, along the way beating both Tarrasch and Steinitz, respectively the fourth and fifth place wiinners.
Tone of introduction
The introduction needs to be made neutral. Starting with an opinion that Hastings 1895 was the greatest tournament ever, aside from being a patently false statement, is not a neutral way to start off an article. I'll try to work on it. Buki ben Yogli (talk) 01:40, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed. Looking through the history, the extravagant intro was written in the early days of Wikipedia, and no one has gone back to tone it down. By all means fix it. Peter Ballard (talk) 01:46, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
