[edit] 37th Chess Olympiad

This article deserves to be featured, I think. It greatly covers the last chess olympiad in detail. It is followed by the Wiki's style manual. Crzycheetah 06:02, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

• Object. 90% of this article is tables and lists - hardly any text. Several of these are relevant (e.g. the overall top 10s), but most of the minor ones would be better of in a separate article on the results of the Olympiad or so. The lead section is non-extant, nor is it clear how a tournament with 130+ nations can be decided in 13 rounds.Jeronimo 06:48, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose. Agree with above; article is full of tables and comparatively little textual information. Also the lead is very short. Dbertman 15:39, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
• As there are no official Wikipedia guidelines regarding the role of the FA director or how an article is promoted to featured status I am giving this article my support. Please see the discussions [[1]] and [[2]] at the featured article talk page for my reasoning.
• Support per above. - Abscissa 09:50, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

• It can be improved by reducing links to solitary years. In this article, there is only link: '2010'. A monobook tool allows this to be done with one click on a 'dates' tab in edit mode. You can then accept or reject the changes offered and/or do more editing before pressing 'Save'. Simply copy the entire contents of User:Bobblewik/monobook.js to your own monobook. Then follow the instructions in your monobook to clear the cache (i.e. press Ctrl-Shift-R in Firefox, or Ctrl-F5 in IE) before it will work. Hope that helps. bobblewik 19:42, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
