This article is about an international team chess tournament in the spirit of the Olympic Games that took place in Budapest, Hungary in September 2024. The featured article on the 44th Chess Olympiad was used as a model.Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 22:49, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that was quick, it only just ended. I shall review in a few days time, once the frequency of edits has gone down. Edwininlondon (talk) 09:37, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just commenting on the lead for now:

(Hungarian: 45. sakkolimpia) ==> if I read MOS:LEAD and MOS:LEADLANG correctly then this should be removed. I can see that the other Olympiad articles do this as well, but it just clutters the opening sentence with virtually no benefit
It was the first Chess Olympiad in Hungary since Budapest hosted the 2nd unofficial Chess Olympiad in 1926. ==> I don't see why this is so important to make it into the lead. MOS:LEADREL
A number of national teams ==> why not give the actual number?
Additionally, this was also the first Chess Olympiad in which teams of refugees ==> this info seems better placed a bit earlier on, right after the counts of participating nations
first Chess Olympiad in which teams of refugees were participating in both sections ==> this is ambiguous: did previously only in one section?
India won ==> if you look at for instance FA UEFA Euro 2016 final you see that nation names link to the article about their national team. If an equivalent article for chess exists, you can link there (I couldn't find one for India).
I would expect silver and bronze winners in the lead as well
I would recommend mentioning in the lead the fact that in the Open, India were the only unbeaten team.
Also missing in the lead: 21 out of 22 possible match points was record breaking (it seems it's even missing from the body as well)
Also missing in the lead: 11 rounds
Also missing in the lead: 4 players per round (chess isn't by definition a team sport, so a bit of help to understand the reader how it works is needed)

More soon. Edwininlondon (talk) 14:28, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Edwininlondon: Thanks for your comments. I've taken care of them all.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 14:48, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Make sure that all paragraphs (apart from the lead) have inline citations (not the case in "Fair play regulations")
The section "Kyrgyz proposal to restore full membership" is outdated (the decision has already been made). --Jens Lallensack (talk) 17:20, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jens Lallensack: Thanks for your comments. I’ve re-arranged the “Fair play regulations” section so that every paragraph is referenced. The decision on the Kyrgyz proposal is mentioned in the “FIDE Congress” section, but it’s good to keep it under “Concerns and controversies” as the proposal was really controversial and raised a lot of concerns that FIDE might lose its affiliation with IOC and that chess federations might lose government funding. I wasn’t sure if the decision should be repeated there. What do you suggest?--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 17:38, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
