  5. Dalf (talk · contribs) I am not that skilled a Go player so I am more interested in the diagrams and such. Though I have been hoping someone would set up this project for a while since the articles have a lot of overlap and no consistent structure.

  7. Devildope (talk · contribs) I am a 12kyu from Antioch, Illinois and would like to promote Go in Northern Illinois and would like to comment on the different books that i have read.

  9. Hu (talk · contribs) Active Wikipedian (in phases), desultorily active on Sensei's Library. Bold enough to touch almost anything, but as a weak single digit kyu player, I'm not skilled at the game, and would be careful about touching anything that deals with tactics and strategy.

  19. Razorflame (talk · contribs) I am an avid Go player 24-26 kyu and I am interested in strategies, how the game looks after the game is completed, major players; pretty much anything about Go, you name it, I'll like it.
  20. Robert McGuigan (talk · contribs)
  21. Selket (talk · contribs) I probably won't be contributing all that much, but keep me informed of goings on, particularly with the recent article creation difficulties. (somewhere in the 22-27k range, depending on who you ask)
  22. SmokeyTheCat (talk · contribs) I claim to be 1 Dan and will do whatever I can to help. I'll do without the Userbox as I have enough of them already.

[edit] Collaboration and review

Collaboration of the week
Peer review
  • time control I rewrote this quite considerably, not pure Go, but done in the name of making the Go homepage more succint
Assessment

[edit] Templates

  • Template:Go tournament - an infobox for Go tournaments.
  • Template:Round16 - a template for 16 player knockout tournaments.
  • Template:succession box - used for things like the Honinbo, where you can click on the next and previous holder of a title (or winner of a tournament)
  • Template:Game of Go Position - a template for Go positions. There are more, but should probably not be used at the moment. See the discussion page, as it seems the plan is to use inline images for board positions.
