Talk:Miguel Najdorf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I would like to see this page revert. Describing the Taimanov-Najdorf game as a "Taimanov-Narjdof (sic) match" is not only a grotesque misspelling but also a misuse of the term "match" in a chess context. One game from a tournament isn't a "match." Bill-on-the-Hill 03:37, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Feel free to fix the article yourself. -Mariano 07:21, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

I've fixed it now, but Mariano is right, of course: it's usually better to fix these things yourself when you see them (be bold in updating pages and all that). If you just comment on talk, you could be waiting months for somebody else to do it! --Camembert 12:49, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, understood, but I didn't want my objection to seem like dueling author vanities, since the text that was modified to produce that bad "match" terminology and box was all mine. Bill-on-the-Hill 13:02, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Usually, if there's not an edit war, you do your changes and justify them in the edit summary field. To roll back such a modification might be better to leave a messege on the talk page first. Good wiking, Mariano 14:27, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Date of birth

I haven't been able to find any reference to Najdorf's birth date, and I always thought it to be unknown. Anon user 81.97.127.110 added September 4 as ihs birthdate, but it should be backedup with some reference. Mariano(t/c) 09:10, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

All books say 15 April 1910. Chvsanchez 05:54, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
