An individual covered in this article, Paul Truong, has edited Wikipedia as ChessInquisitor (talk • contribs).

[edit] Verification by the subject

The facts listed are correct.

I am going to tread lightly here, because I'm a big fan of Susan's, and I know that Paul is Susan's business manager. However, there are huge problems with this article. There is basically no evidence offered for the vast majority of the content, except that User:ChessInquisitor says it is correct.

I don't doubt that Paul Truong knows his own life history — assuming that it is indeed Paul Truong — but this does not meet Wikipedia's standards for verifiability and a neutral viewpoint, based on citable sources.

A look through the edit history of this article suggests that an awful lot of the editors who've contributed to it are people who have interacted with Paul Truong on a personal level. I am wondering, frankly, whether there is enough reliable published material on Paul Truong to make up a legitimate Wikipedia article that complies with WP:NPOV, WP:VER, and WP:NOR.Marc Shepherd 12:48, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I believe chessinquisitor is R. Mitchell. He's done project with Truong in the past. I don't know all the details but most of the contents look pretty decent so far.

Then why does the infobox at the top of this page say, "The subject of this article, Paul Truong, has edited Wikipedia as ChessInquisitor"? Also, the only Wikipedia article ChessInquisitor has ever edited is Susan Polgar. Marc Shepherd 19:00, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

ChessInquisitor is Rob Mitchell. He worked with Paul Truong and Susan Polgar on the Russia vs. USA match in 2005. This match was televised worldwide. He was the one who wrote their bio for the show. That is why he knows their info. Rob Mitchell is not a chess person. He does not know too many significant chess players. Juan K.

[edit] Sam Sloan

Huh, are you (anon IP 152.163.100.10) trying to say that Sam Sloan had NOTHING to do with Paul (or whatever his real, Vietnamese name was)? I do not think that it is fair. But I am flexible. What CAN we say about Sam Sloan, relative to Paul? -- 69.104.88.65 07:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Some of Sam Sloan's friends have been vandalizing this page. (KW)
