Low	This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

The article is missing one of Kevitz's major victories: His win in the 1954-1955 Manhattan Chess Club Championship.  After finishing first-second tied with James T. Sherwin, he won their playoff match of four games.  He thus finished first ahead of Sherwin, Arthur Bisguier, Arnold Denker, and Max Pavey, leading American players all.  See the May 1955 Chess Review issue (pages 132-133) for full details.

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 01:24, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Manhattan Chess Club championships

We are citing three different sources, which disagree with each other, about which Manhattan CC championships Kevitz won: Mark Ginsburg (credited to Walter Shipman via Nick Conticello); chessgames.com (which in turn cites Di Felice); and Bill Wall. Something called chessworld.org is also cited, but it doesn't exist any more, and I don't know what became of it.

I am not sure it will be possible to resolve the differences between the sources, but I will look for any obvious mistakes that can be corrected. I do not have easy access to the various volumes of Di Felice that would be involved, so anyone who has a copy of one or more is invited to help with that. Also if anyone knows what became of chessworld.org, by all means mention that. Bruce leverett (talk) 05:33, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The list on Mark Ginsburg's site supposedly first appeared in a Manhattan CC newsletter, according to Conticello (in the comments on Ginsburg's article): "It will take some time, but I can dig up a complete champions’ list that appeared in an issue of the Manhattan Chess Club newsletter (of which I was editor-in-chief) in the 1990’s. The research was done by Walter Shipman, who graciously consented to let us use his work."

I am not comfortable with the way that our article cites three differing sources in the main text. I will modify it to cite only one of the three (the one from Ginsburg) in the main text, and cite the other two, with an indication of where they differ, in a footnote.
