Notability

[edit]

Wants to be established notability with reliable sources. I think there will some BCM article about her (I don't mean about any of her books). Winning British Chess Championship is an award so that is good enough. SunCreator (talk) 16:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Forbes or Warwick?

[edit]

Cathy Forbes married on 20 November, 1999 (not 2005/6 as previously stated) and uses both her married name and her premarital name of Forbes, as she is entitled to do, according to the convenience of the moment.

She uses 'Forbes' on her chess scoresheets. Cathy Warwick was the name she used for a recent TV appearance on the quiz show "Eggheads". However, Forbes is her primary signifier. (Edited by Cathy Forbes on 9th December, 2008)79.70.206.62 (talk) 09:02, 9 December 2008 (UTC).[reply]

However, FIDE and the 4NCL website still seem to have her as Cathy Forbes, so probably no need to switch just yet. Brittle heaven (talk) 17:33, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm quite surprised at someone of her feminist leanings changing her name at marriage, but maybe that's just me. This is a problem we could have with a number of recently married women, that the name they now prefer to be known by differs from the name most sources use, since some of it is historic. And that is on top of women who use one name professionally and another socially.

[My view was that on marriage a woman can gain an additional identity rather than lose their own - hope that clarifies the feminist issue - CF 79.70.206.62 (talk) 09:02, 9 December 2008 (UTC)].[reply]

I'm inclined to use the name she prefers to be know by and use a redirect, since most other sources will eventually change. What do people think? PatGallacher (talk) 18:10, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I propose to move this to Cathy Warwick in a couple of days, unless anyone objects. However this could raise some issues about Wikipedia naming conventions. PatGallacher (talk) 02:22, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The name the person uses is perfectly acceptable under the naming conventions. I agree with the move; just leave a redirect under her maiden name.--Kubigula (talk) 02:56, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We appear to have some indications from Cathy Forbes/Warwick herself that she regards Forbes as her primary name. Should we defer to this and move the page back? I have no firm view on whether women should change their name on marriage, but I feel they ought to make a definite decision one way or the other.

Polgar Book

[edit]

With regard to her book - I heard the Polgar sister's refused an interview with her, but she went ahead and wrote about them anyway. As a result, I believe the publication was less than perfect...--ZincBelief (talk) 00:15, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well unauthorised biographies are hardly uncommon. But if you can find a review which mentions it, by all means add it to the article.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 02:29, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
What book is perfect? It was the first full-length work about the Polgars at the time it was written, although it may have been superseded by later works. PatGallacher (talk) 10:16, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well it is written that the Polgar Sisters refuse to sign copies of it. Since the book is mentioned in her article, perhaps some critique of the work should be mentioned. Why do the Polgar's take such vehement exception to it? Is it as accurate as her "Guilty Men" publication?--ZincBelief (talk) 13:36, 23 September 2009 (UTC) (for instance www.chesscafe.com/text/polgar41.pdf )--ZincBelief (talk) 13:56, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Why would anyone sign copies of a book they hadn't written?!--Pawnkingthree (talk) 18:43, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Presumably because they, the subjects of the book, are asked to.--ZincBelief (talk) 23:00, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
