Wesley So is representing the US since 2014, please update! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.108.215.39 ( talk) 20:33, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as stub, and the rating on other projects was brought up to Stub class. BetacommandBot 08:03, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
We hope this bio will still be expanded when he is catapulted on top. I added his picture.
-- Florentino floro ( talk) 11:18, 8 December 2007 (UTC) Today, So is a national hero, as I predicted last December 8 here. On March 16, 2008, Wesley So (2540), won title in the $45,000 Dubai Open Chess Championships, "The Sheikh Rashed Bin Hamdan Al Maktoum Cup", at the Dubai Chess Club, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. He finished with 7.0 points on 6 wins, one loss and two draws after 9 games. He won a fourth ($4,500) of the combined prize of $18,000. -- Florentino floro ( talk) 09:06, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
You guys have put a table that you are not maintaining... you are not constantly not putting in the result and half of it empty. This table in long run is useless... wikipedia is not a blog. It is suppose indicates his MAJOR accomplishment, in a small list like ther on the Garry Kasparov or other high GM. Making huge diagram of all his tournament is completely inappropriate. 70.51.13.36 ( talk) 14:16, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Your getting to fixated on the word blogging it was expression that was use to show that this part of the article is pact with useless and ( later on ) irrelevant material. Half of all the tournament named aren't even Top level. Making a diagram of tournament that is bigger then the rest of the article is completely absurd. This article inst about his statistical score in every tournament. It about his chess career in general, his major accomplishments.
Am not against putting a list of the major tournament he participated in like the corus, linares, sofa, dortmund or other top tournament. But this must be done in a small list that only take a small portion of the article. 70.51.13.36 ( talk) 14:51, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Well reaching a consensus on wikipedia is pretty vague ther alot of people on this site. How many people need to agree, so we can have a conclusive consensus...?

Some of the tournaments can be removed without any harm to the article eg Fianchetto blitz 2007. His gaining norms/titles don't need to be there either and can be part of the main text instead – Jkmaskell
This page has taken a pretty serious step back and is in real need of clearing up. Lead section needs trimming back. The results table needs to be removed and placed into the main article, with all unimportant events removed completely. There needs to be a proper divide between his early years and the chess career, where at the moment there is a blurring of the two. The references section needs looking at to standardise it. I won't tag the article because its clear to anyone that the page needs a lot of work to it by someone who can calmly but boldly filter out the rubbish from the good. Normally I'd volunteer to do it, but my hands are full with another project. Jkmaskell 08:36, 7 September 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkmaskell ( talk • contribs)
The article mentions that "He [So] is currently seeking a transfer to the United States Chess Federation." and this is supported by two sources. However, this edit made by Bzweebl seems to imply that So's transfer has been approved and that he now represents the USCF. It also seems to imply that So is now a US citizen. I am not sure if either of those are mutually exclusive, but no sources supporting either claim were provided which seems contrary to WP:BLPSOURCES. I googled "Wesley So transfer" and could not find anything supporting this edit. So, if So's transfer has been approved, it should be able to be supported by verifiable reliable sources; On the other hand, if his request is still pending or no supporting sources yet exist, then this edit is premature and should be undone until such time when it can be properly supported. Please discuss. - Marchjuly ( talk) 06:05, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
I'm not sure if this means anything, but at Tata Steel he is playing under the US flag. What is the reason for this? Is his American citizenship now official, or does this simply demonstrate he is representing the USCF? Does anything in the article need to be changed because of this?

Akobian's page mentions So's being forced to forfeit in 2015 due to illegal note writing. Shouldn't So's page mention this? Varuzhan Akobian#Wesley So forfeiture controversy

Cannot understand how this information was written: here is the table [1] and So was 7th. -- Yoavd ( talk) 10:03, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
So's rating hovered over the coming year with a solid performance at the strong AAI International Tournament in New Delhi among performances typical for his rating.
In my mind's eye, the coming year arrives by bobsled as an IKEA flatpak. — MaxEnt 23:01, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Is there some universal thing on wikipedia how we call chess players or sports players in general?

Well apart from Anish & Sergey, I think the point is regardless of their current nationality / nationalities, say all the countries that have represented, hence

I assume some there are also other considerations on how people are described, eg for Fisher, while he had Iceland citizenship at his death, he never played competitive chess while having this citizenship, so it would be odd to describe him as an 'Icelandic Grandmaster' (I think it would be fine to call him that, though if he'd had Icelandic citizenship from birth, even if he never played for Iceland.) 92.12.23.102 ( talk) 22:32, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
