Blogs as sources
Generally speaking blogs aren't reliable sources. There are some exceptions, such as reporting precisely what the blogger has written, but this is useful only if that is itself appropriate to report in an encyclopedia. None of the rather small number of acceptable uses applies to the Keene article, which as you know is not the same as the Obama article. Quale (talk) 00:25, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Question
Hello Sun Creator, I see that you have just rated the article World Chess Championship 2013 as B class. What do you think could be improved about it? If it is not long enough, then what should be added into it? Thanks, Toccata quarta (talk) 19:10, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

I was reverting the move of List of Steinitz Variations to Steinitz Variation but accidentally left the trailing 's'. Please revert the article to the original name of Steinitz Variation. Regards, Sun Creator(talk) 00:55, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorted. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  15:34, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Please note that Steinitz Variation, in its present state, is not a disambiguation page, which is purely a navigational device like a redirect. If it were a disambiguation page, the lede would only say "Steinitz Variation may refer to:", and the content of the page would be reduced to a collection of bare links, with no images on the page, and no links other than to pages referring to titles containing the phrase "Steinitz Variation", or otherwise meeting WP:DABMENTION. bd2412  T 19:22, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The lede wording on MOS:DABMENTION] is just an example, not a requirement. Regards, Sun Creator(talk) 19:44, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Excluding all material from a disambiguation page other than the links and a brief description of them, however, is a requirement, as is complying with community consensus. Please let me know now if you are unwilling to conform your conduct to the requirements of this project, so that I can take the appropriate steps. bd2412  T 19:55, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * If your interested in community consensus you'll be discussing the issue on the talk page as I suggested in a previous edit summary. Regards, Sun Creator(talk) 20:13, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * ah, now I see you did comment on the talk page, but I never noticed it because until now the talk page was missing/had other name. Regards, Sun Creator(talk) 20:25, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I have to admit that you caught me in a bad mood. However, I can assure you, I have worked on literally tens of thousands of disambiguation pages (and hundreds of thousands of articles, generally), and I am the best authority you can find on what is or is not properly considered a disambiguation page. bd2412  T 20:44, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Chess.com
The person removing that material is most likely the sockpuppet/troll Wiki brah, whose express purpose is to disrupt wikipedia - when a new account shows up and immediately starts editing the chess.com article to paint that website in an unfavorable light, that's a dead giveaway. Why remove the material anyway? Why not just tag it if you really think it's necessary to add a citation? Is it so controversial to add an easily verifiable description of a website? It's not like it's a BLP or anything. I think it's kind of rude to remove neutrally presented material just because it is allegedly "unsourced" even though it's readily verifiable.

AARTalk listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect AARTalk. Since you had some involvement with the AARTalk redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). John Vandenberg (chat) 11:15, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
