I have now gone through the information provided in the article by User:Elgandol using a combination of Mark Weeks, Chessgames, TWIC and FIDE, along with whatever Google turns up. Anything that I could not find evidence of has been removed and I've tried to provide sources for everything else that remained. Given how this article was formed, I will err on the safe side as for sources. Because I have checked all information and provided numerous references, I have now removed the remaining maintenance tags. Work continues... Jkmaskell (talk) 00:41, 26 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot Jkmaskell You are doing really great job in this page too much appreciated !!! (Elgandol  (talk) 14:08, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Dear Jkmaskell me also played at 33rd Chess Olympiad: Elista 1998 on the first board ,thank you (Elgandol (talk) 18:26, 27 November 2014 (UTC))
 * Thanks Essam. I had a feeling that might be you. I have come across the name "Esam Mohammed Ahmed Nagib" before, which is on Olimpbase for Elista 1998 on board one. I think Chessgames treats it as a separate player though. I will need to look into it to make absolutely sure it all matches up with other websites. This might take a while. Apart from El Gindy/El Gendy/Nagib, are there any other variations on your name which have been used in tournaments? Jkmaskell (talk) 19:12, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm now satisfied that the two names follow the same FIDE ID. Mark Weeks pointed out this very problem about 3 years ago! To explain for future reference, Olimpbase archived all rating records prior to FIDE's rating history of 2000-present and the FIDE IDs used. The FIDE ID for both names match but each name was recorded as separate records and as the Nagib rating archive ends, the rating is precisely the same as the start of FIDE's El-Gindy ratings. This is also backed up by some of the ChessGames ratings and The Week In Chess. Polish Wikipedia appears to have pointed out all of this... Good enough for me.

 * Thanks a lot Jkmaskell for the very good job you done so far and I do not think I have more other names sorry for that You may know in our Passports and Ids we use like five names which is not maybe good ?! I would like to mention that I won the first place in arabic ch 2009 in tunisia please take look at this link below http://chess-results.com/tnr28651.aspx?lan=1&art=4&wi=821 Thanks you (Elgandol (talk) 04:33, 28 November 2014 (UTC))
 * Also qualify for world cup 1999 and losing in the first round to Ulf Andersson, please see Section 8 below : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIDE_World_Chess_Championship_1999#Results.2C_rounds_1.E2.80.934 ,many thanks (Elgandol  (talk) 09:14, 29 November 2014 (UTC))

No problem. I'm planning on getting all the pre-2003 stuff done this weekend. Also want to have a look at splitting off the World Championship and World Cup events as a section by itself. It might make the article flow a little better.
