Subject: Jude Acers is playing in the World Senior Championship in Austria
|
I have been closely following the progress of Jude Acers at the World Senior Championship now taking place in Austria. I have even set up a Wikipedia page to make it easier to follow Acers' games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jude_Acers Please note, Louis Blair, a FOC member here, has a history of complaining to Wikipedia administrators every time I post a chess biography or any information about chess to Wikipedia and getting my chess biographies deleted. For that reason, it has become my policy to keep secret any chess information I post to Wikipedia, so that Louis Blair will not find out about it. I hope that this time Louis Blair will have the common decency not to try to get my Jude Acers biography deleted from Wikipedia until at least the chess tournament is over. Sam Sloan

[quote="MikeMurray"][quote="Joe Lux"]What's Jude's FIDE rating after this? All the best, Joe Lux[/quote] I'll bet it's high enough to make Sam eat a few words. Heh, Heh.[/ quote] Yes. I admit that. Turns out that Jude Acers is much stronger than I thought he was, and is about as strong as he claims to be. Perhaps he did beat me legitimately in round 4 of the 1963 US Intercollegiate Championship in Notre Dame University after all. Sam Sloan

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:SyG#Running_Amuck Running Amuck This guy is running amuck. Already he has gotten the biography of Mig Greengard deleted. Now, he is targeting the biographies of Carmine Nigro (who taught chess to Bobby Fischer), Burt Hochberg (former Chess Life Editor), International Master Bernard Zuckerman, and Bill Hook (author and long time captain of the British Virgin Island Chess Team). The guy is out of control. Somebody needs to reign him in. Sam Sloan 21:15, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

This guy at Wikipedia has gone nuts. He has already gotten Mig Greengard deleted. Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mig_Greengard Now he wants to delete former Chess Life editor Burt Hochberg and International Master Bernard Zuckerman and who knows who else. Just one looney in Wikipedia can cause an incredible amount of damage. Sam Sloan

Indeed. Ever wonder why you frequently face stiff (and often collaborative) opposition to your actions? ...things that make you go "hmmmm".

Already, several other Wikipedia editors have made changes and additions. Meanwhile, there is the usual collection of Wikipedia assholes who know nothing about chess and go around trying to delete everything that others post. Already they have challenged my biography of "Captain" Bill Hook and are demanding to know why he is sufficiently notable to be included in Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Hook The same Wikipedia asshole is getting ready to delete the biography of International Master Bernard Zuckerman. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Zuckerman That is why it is helpful for others to go in and add to these biographies. That means YOU. Sam Sloan
