I have updated the article since the concern was raised. Tegen Roberts is famous in the UK and made it into the major UK newspapers. As a gameshow winner and winner of one of the largest amounts given out at anytime on television in the UK. Also being the largest amount given out on any UK Channel for a non-prime time TV show. she gained considerable attention but the nature of her battle with her condition and overcoming it to then go on and win Deal or No Deal (UK game show) captured the hearts of the British people.

The article Tegen Roberts has been rescued from proposed for deletion for the following reasons:
The subject of the article is a well known person in the UK since the Deal or No Deal (UK game show) and this follows precedents already set on Wikipedia for notability after winning a game show. Craig Phillips winner of British version of Big Brother and Judith Keppel who won Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (UK game show). The perception of notability of a person should not be limited by users who are not resident in the terrority where said notability is known and accepted. Both these notable people share the distinction of winning the top prize in a televised gameshow. And are mentioned in articles for the corresponding gameshow.

Please stop adding the family statement... it's redundant as it already appears in the article...Jeancey (talk) 01:34, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
That wasn't there when i started editing but tons of people keep adding and subtracting text simultaneously but point taken. I don't mind who puts it up but i think the family statement should be there before Apple Corp statement - RIP STEVE JOBS Michuk (talk) 01:41, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Almost every national chess federation (the only exception I can think of is UK) uses the Elo rating system in some form. Elo can be assumed when talking about chess ratings and it is not necessary to specify it every time a rating is mentioned. Likewise, it is not necessary to specify a player's rating is "standard"; yes FIDE and some national federations do have separate rapid and blitz ratings, but "standard" or "classical" is implied unless there is ambiguity. If you're talking about "rapid rating" or "blitz rating" yes that needs to be specified, but "standard rating" does not. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 00:02, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
Every federation has to hold blitz, rapid, and standard ratings. That holds for all national players of a federation who compete in FIDE tournaments. USCF is NOT Elo. Michuk (talk) 21:02, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
This is an encyclopaedia not a ChessBase article. Specificity is the default. I don’t see how a statement such as people know it is Elo usurps the simple action of specifying the Elo unit of measure at least once in the article. Michuk (talk) 00:59, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
Yes the articles for chess on Wikipedia are not perfect and neither am I but the assumption that someone new to chess who’s first article is any of these written in the format that we can skip references to units and assume everyone knows it is a standard format Elo rating is just less than a real encyclopaedia.
When a grandmaster like Alireza Firouzja eventually breaks the rapid or blitz world record then we have to specify format of the ratings, because there are three formats. So the default should be to specify at least once in the section that discusses that format of the rating.
A USCF rated player could assume the ratings are in USCF quite innocently as could an English chess player who has gotten used to ECF ratings. As Wikipedia we should strive to eliminate ambiguity not surf the edges hoping our regards stay on surf 🏄♂️ Michuk (talk) 07:43, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
Read my talk post I said once per article if it all refers to standard format chess and Elo rating.
Once per article section if it has blit and rapid references and other ratings systems referenced.
This isn’t complicated. It’s basic stuff for a global reference document that is trying hard to consider more than a joke. Michuk (talk) 07:25, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
There appears to be an issue with editors who like removing as much detail as possible and believe many details are to be assumed and not prescribed. This style can be quite lazy and sloppy leading to ambiguity. The maximalist editor can fall foul of unnecessary repetition and overly detailed articles. There is a middle way. The absence of repetition is not always good when the factual description requires it. Just as repetition of units of measurement don’t add to an article when it is obvious in an article or section of an article what unit of measurement is being referred to. What is not acceptable is the assumption by a handful of minimalist or maximalist editors that their personal preferences should be imposed on all articles without question.

Hello, I'm Ss112. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Wordle in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.
It's already noted in the body that Wordle is very similar to Lingo. Claiming it's a "copy" and "identical" is contentious and would need to be sourced, and even still, doesn't sound neutrally worded and doesn't seem fit for the lead. Your linking to the British version of Lingo, which came after the American version, was additionally incorrect and unnecessary. Please don't leave misleading edit summaries.

Hi Michuk! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at The Queen's Gambit (miniseries) that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.
