Review of revision 4558822 [Passed]

Revision 4558822 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 02:59, 14 April 2020 (UTC). Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: There were were one or two questions, iirc, where I wondered about bias, and maybe a couple of other places (that made it into the transcript) where the interviewer expressed an opinion rather than asking a question as such. Seems advisable to tone down that trend, going forward; though I don't think it created a significant problem here. The reviewed revision should automatically have been edited by removing {{Review}} and adding {{Publish}} at the bottom, and the edit sighted; if this did not happen, it may be done manually by a reviewer.

I had in mind, for the sake of clarity, to add here a list of items that made me pause. Atm I only see three of these; on a few others that I remember considering during review, what I decided on consideration was that they were fine, in which case there's not call for me to list them here.

((WN)) You weren't living in Iran at that time. You weren't representing Iran. You had made it very clear you didn't want to play for the federation. And yet they decide to sensationalise this banning of yours?

— a slightly-leading question.

((WN)) Your younger brother was also banned by the [Iranian] Chess Federation at the same tournament, playing against an Israeli Grand Master. He was fourteen. He was just a kid.

— a decidedly-leading question; grated on me a bit.

((WN)) I just feel he shouldn't have been dragged into this [situation].

— an opinion, inviting the interviewee to agree. It did work, eliciting a useful response.

Edit

{{editprotected}} "Irani athletes have avoided playing against Israeli athletes" in the last sentence of the third paragraph should be changed to "Iranian athletes have avoided playing against Israeli athletes". Heavy Water (talk) 20:34, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

It is repeated again with the section heading "Her decision to not play for the Irani Chess Federation". And "Instagram" is not capitalized in the caption for the puppy image. Heavy Water (talk) 04:22, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Hmm. "Iranian" is certainly more common in the parts of the English language I am familiar with, but is "Irani" wrong? See wikt:Irani. Also, please note the original author is from India. SVTCobra 02:29, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Huh, apparently it is equally standard. --Heavy Water (talk) 02:40, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

The capitalization of Instagram is Done SVTCobra 10:59, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
