Player names

[edit]
(Diacritics)

I added the 2011 names from wkbridge2011.nl, but some (especially the Polish ones) I suspect are spelt incorrectly without diacritics. Anyone got a better source? Pirate pete (talk) 17:04, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Currently for 2011 we have France player "François Leenhardt" and no Poland player with diacritics, if i may abuse the term. For the four FRA and six POL players who repeats from previous Senior Bowl medals, 2003 and 2009, I simply checked against this page; in effect I copied their names including "François Leenhardt" from above.
At Category:Polish bridge players in edit mode you will find this HIDDEN comment which spells names of Polish players with diacritics.
NAMES (quote substance of hidden comment)
Piotr Gawryś 
Jacek Leśniczak
Marcin Leśniewski
Michał Kwiecień 
Janusz Połeć 
Janek Pszczoła 
Piotr Tuszyński 
Włodzimierz Wala
Adam Żmudziński

This list is complete as far as I know. In particular it repeats the names of people with biographies in the category; ordinarily, those are the titles of biographies in the category. Here is another for example, Editing Category:Norwegian bridge players.

One task: consolidate these comments visibly in WikiProject space.

Another task: Check foreign language wikipedia for bridge coverage. Offhand I guess that Dutch and Polish wikipedia are two of the more likely to have some useful coverage, they are not likely to have much.

Usually I have extended these lists of names during work on articles where I have either discovered or provided the spelling of that name, and imposed consistency within the article at the same time. (One method: search for "Francois" before completing a revision that includes "François Leenhardt".) Usually this work has focused on the player names listed in tables of tournament results, and part of it has been to "redlink" the names of several all-time great bridge players who lack articles here, such as Waldemar von Zedtwitz (see Pages that link to "Waldemar_von_Zedtwitz"). Therefore, consistent redlinks for historically important players suggest that I have updated all of the player names for diacritics, as far as I know. For example, see Vanderbilt Trophy: redlinks thruout imply diacritics thruout (although the diacritics may actually be limited to Polish names since year 2000). That article should consistently spell with diacritics all of the relevant Polish names known to me at the time. --P64 (talk) 17:06, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indonesia team

[edit]
For now I have cut this from the article following 2011 update.
Regarding the Indonesia team that won silver, silver, bronze 2005 to 2009.

Lasut and Manoppo have represented Indonesia in world team championships almost "perennially" from 1973 and 1974, Sacul and Sawiruddin as early as 1976 and 1980. Lasut, Manoppo, Sacul, and Franky Karwur won the third Grand Prix, a 6-team exhibition at International Olympic Committee headquarters, November 2000.
REF 3rd IOC Olympic Grand Prix, 2000. WBF. Player records at the World Bridge Federation: Henky Lasut, Eddy M F Manoppo, Denny Sacul, Denny Jacob Sakul, Munawar Sawiruddin. --P64 (talk) 01:41, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tournament dates

[edit]

Oct 15-29<!--meet--> means that a datespan such as Oct 15-29 refers to the meet rather than the Senior Bowl tournament; to the Games rather than the specific event in Olympics terms. At least for the biennial World Teams meets, the WBF database reports results & participants of any tournament under a heading that begins [Name, Locale, Datespan] for the meet (2001 example showing Oct22-Nov3 dates for World Teams). There may be no convenient source for tournament/event dates except the WBF contemporary coverage, which the website hosts from the late 1990s (2001 example showing Oct 22-29 dates for Seniors Bowl[sic]). --P64 (talk) 15:41, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Zones and nations

[edit]

Now a final section {{underconstruction}}, this should become a separate article or a section in another article. Articles on particular zonal or national competitions should say less and link to more. --P64 (talk) 15:44, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
