[edit] Need to re-title article

To e.g. "1851 London International chess tournament". There were 2 other 1851 London tournaments in 1851, and Anderssen won one of these too! ([1]) Philcha (talk) 21:42, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, put "international" in the name. I'm just not sure where to put the name - "London international chess tournament 1851" perhaps? We seem to have a habit of putting the year last in our article titles. Peter Ballard (talk) 12:50, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
I think that would be a bit odd. The tournament is nearly universally called "London 1851", and the other two London tournaments that year are insignificant. (Actually there were probably other London club tournaments in 1851 as well, but those are even less significant.) See Golombek, for example. Quale (talk) 15:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Ah good point. Indeed that "other" London 1851 tournament was international also! So let's just leave the title as is. If necessary, we can add a note in the article that there were other 1851 tournaments in London. Peter Ballard (talk) 06:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
