A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
"the Judge had hired a private investigator ... at the suggestion of Jack Ziegler... In return, the Judge influenced some legislation to suit Ziegler." It's not clear how the suggestion and later influence are connected. Hiring a PI may not be the most common thing, but I don't get why the mere suggestion of it warrants repayment.
this line comes directly from the review as noted. I have read the book. There is nothing in the book that indicates that the groups he worked with were specifically or intentionally ``white``, and I don`t remember that the book even says he was the only African American person at all the meetings.. It seems to be an addition or interpretation by the author of the review. I suggest the phrase be put in quotation marks to make this clear. --69.70.219.198 (talk) 23:13, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The specific theme referenced is the $100 Theme, which is a Double Excelsior promotion-to-knight theme in a helpmate-in-five; it's considerably more specific than just "Double Excelsior". I'm currently writing a draft article for the $100 Theme. Should this article be changed to reflect the information about the specific theme? If so, how should it be changed, and when?

@Edderiofer: - maybe when the draft is finished it would be a useful thing to add. I don't know anywhere near enough about chess to be able to expand that theme, but I would say that it's referred to as the Double Excelsior in the book so at best a reference in parentheses to the $100 Theme article (once it's ready) would probably suffice. Thank you though, it's an interesting topic! Fish+Karate10:35, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
