This article is about the 43rd Chess Olympiad, a biennial chess tournament for teams representing nations. The main improvements to the article that led to its current shape were made immediately before and during the event. For that purpose, many chess sources were consulted and selectively used to reference the content based on their reputability and popularity in the chess world, so it abounds in details that are typically present in similar multi-country competitions (e.g. Olympic Games). Finally, the article has a GA status, having been promoted in April 2009. Kiril Simeonovski ( talk) 13:59, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
This article uses an excessive number of flag icons, to the point that they dominate the visual presentation of the text. Some seem at odds with the MoS (which discourages use in infoboxes among other things). What is the service to the reader? -- Laser brain (talk) 02:08, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
Drive-by comment when you have 185 countries participating, listing all their names—leave alone with flags and links—is excessive and unnecessary. (counterexample: not all of the 210 countries who participated in the 2018 FIFA World Cup are named in that article, only the 32 who qualified to the finals.) Instead just mention the salient points—some big absentee countries, why Pakistan withdrew, why Georgia had 3 teams, what those 3 abbreviated associations are etc.— indopug ( talk) 09:20, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
Oppose. This article is not quite FAC ready. The flags are visually off-putting, there are stubby sections, and the prose could be tightened with a copy edit, sample:
I suggest withdrawing and returning to FAC after an independent copyedit as the fastest route to the bronze star. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 05:58, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
Coord note -- archiving per commentary above; per FAC instructions you can bring this back after two weeks have passed, which should afford time enough for a solid copyedit. Cheers, Ian Rose ( talk) 23:14, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
