377:"Please be civil"? No ad hominem intended on my part. I believe it's truly hard for someone who wasn't around in the Vietnam years to gauge the extent of Vonnegut's influence. Also, his work after Slaughterhouse-Five fell off sharply, so I think he means less to generations after mine. I believe that "ignore all rules" is a WP rule. Also, the deaths of prominent persons is an exception to Rule 5. I wouldn't equate death of Vonnegut to death of a Pope--that's silly--but it is an event in the world of letters, and arguably the most significant obit YTD from a US perspective. The NYT's editorial judgment was in line with mine. Regards....

IMHO, if they had been warned & hadn't stopped, I probably could have asked for them to be blocked which would hopefully mean one less vandal to worry about. On the same note, it's equally annoying to come across vandals who keep getting warned with test1 even tho the vandalism has been blatant of there has been a lot of it. If it's blatant vandalism, don't hesitate to use the blatant tag. If it isn't but the user has been warned recently with a lower tag, escalate it as you feel appropriate.

by the US chess subculture) than about RJF himself. And it's not clear to me that this subculture's opinion of RJF in 2001 or 2006 is that directly relevant to RJF's life. Certainly an extended treatment belongs in a book-length bio. We are talking about an article that doesn't mention the 2nd
Piatagorsky Cup, Rovinj-Zagreb & Herceg Novi & Buenos 1970--my edit was dictated by proportionality.

How the heck do you go about saying "odds are I am under 40?" How did you calculate those odds? I dont suppose you work in Vegas or

It seems like the
Illinois chess scene is mostly on the youngsters, the academic tournaments. I was disappointed when Elmhurst College wanted rent for hosting tournaments. That was an easy drive in from Rockford. And the college lost free publicity for its school. Now Osman Palos, he was a character!

Don't think the difference between our positions is that great. I agree that these things are worth talking about, but encyclopedia articles have conventions such as brevity, proportionality, and focus. In my judgment, the aftermath is more about the reception of

While some wikipedians don't appear to consider it important to warn users, I do. I often come across vandals, even ones with IPs (which appear to be semi-permanent), who have carried out vandalism a number of times but not been warned. Warning them may have ended the behaviour and more importantly

Billbrock, let me just say that I cannot believe you truly think that a "WP length bio" has no place for a decent coverage of the infamous post-9/11 interview and its aftermath! Especially, when the USCF came to disown its world star. This is a tragedy that reaches far beyond chess and Robert James

Kewl. Your chess credentials are superior to mine. Nuff said. Maybe you could expand the 1970-1972 Fischer section, with some diagrams. My personal favorite is the third game of the
Fischer-Spassky match. From now on, I will probly just comment in the discussion section re. the Fischer article.

Anyway, basically, it's used to warn users that they behaviour is not welcome. This serves 2 purposes. Firstly it will hopefully discourage them from continuoing. Secondly, if users continue to vandalise after receiving sufficient warning (one blatant vandal is enough), you can ask for them to be

Current Events. Please be civil. No more unfounded agesit comments please.

This article, missing essential info as it is, is already bloated by WP standards. The proper approach IMO :-) is not either/or but both/and. After 1975, Fischer found USCF completely irrelevant--and the article's subject is RJF's life.
170:
BTW, from what I've read, some admins ban account users even without sufficient warning if their account appears to only contribute vandalism. However I personally don't feel like asking unless a user has been warned appropriately.
