[edit] Older serials?
I am currently trying to find a home for this list of chess periodicals listed here. How do people feel about relaxing the inclusion criteria to include serials that are defunct? John Vandenberg 06:15, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think the list should ever have been limited to current publications. We could create a new section for periodicals that are no longer published, or we could put everything into a table with start and end date columns. (The class="sortable" table would allow that to be sorted to put all the current publications together.) Quale 11:34, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
- John, thanks for letting me know. Initially, when I drafted this chart, I put in starting and ending dates, but I found that most of the chess periodicals I knew about were current, so I arbitrarily decided to limit it to current publications. As Quale wisely points out, there is no reason to impose such an arbitrary limitation. I would recommend creating a separate table for defunct periodicals and serials, but the idea to add an end-date column to the current table is also fine. I'm happy to see that other editors are expanding on the work that I began. Good luck. Shalom Hello 14:49, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- I should have worded my comment differently, as it wasn't meant to be a criticism. The list of current periodicals is very good, and we work with the information we have at hand. Expanding the article to include defunct publications would be good, but requires more research. We can do it incrementally in the finest WikiPedia tradition. Quale 15:17, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I have started typing up the list at s:Contribution to a Bibliography of Chess Periodicals. John Vandenberg 16:21, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] two others
is Shakhmaty v SSSR still published? What about Chess Express, that was around in the early 1970s at least. Bubba73 (talk), 13:48, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- Also, Chess Review is no longer being published. Bubba73 (talk), 13:51, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
