the minor edit tick box
Generally don't mark an edit as "minor" when making any edit of substance, such as this one. Only use it for things like fixing typos, or reverting obvious vandalism. (Definitely avoid marking a revert of an established editor's work as "minor" as this would basically be labelling their edit vandalism). See WP:MINOR. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 00:40, 2 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot for taking the time to point this out. I was wrongly assuming (without checking) minor content changes can be flagged minor, sorry for the caused inconvenience. From the edits, I flagged as such incorrectly as minor, three are still standing (other reverted). Under threefold article, and regarding ECO here and here (same subject). I will undo these edits and redo without flagging as minor, so that appropriate checking can take place. No intention to sneak in changes from my side. Is there any reason against the suggested reverting and redo? Dlbbld (talk) 09:26, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
 * No need to redo it, as it's only a small mistake and it was made in good faith. Only use minor when you're not changing the content(e.g. fixing grammar, spelling). Geekpotato24 (talk) 02:22, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for the feedback and giving me some "newbie credit". I find the editing (technically and content-wise) quite challenging, but that's good. Dlbbld (talk) 07:29, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

"FIDE chess rules"
Fide chess rules are the official chess rules. Geekpotato24 (talk) 18:37, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
Thanks a lot @Geekpotato24, this is very appreciated. In fact, I made more edits than planned, but that was due to the page as is. Not all edits are best possible, but I look at is as an overall improvement. Still, the page has "flaws" as I would say or room for improvement. For continuing the discussion I think the talk page of the article is better suited, so I will leave a comment there. Dlbbld (talk) 11:16, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
