I don't see the notability in writing some articles about Diplomacy. Even "inventing the Lepanto opening and the Sealion" don't seem notable enough to me. NuclearWarfare ( Talk) 03:51, 26 January 2009 (UTC) reply
The Lepanto Article is most notable for being the article that popularized both that specific opening in the game of Diplomacy, but more importantly it was the article that started an entire trend in the Diplomacy Hobby or writing about openings. That the article was written in 1971 and that I had used the opening in face to face games in 1966 is irrelevant. That someone may have stumbled on the specific moves independently may or may not have happened, what is important is what the effect on the play of the game the article had.
As for being the first world champion, this was the reference for the win in the invitational game in 1971 numbered BC and referred to subsequently.
There are other aspects to my life in the Diplomacy Hobby that people may want to go to if that is relevant and can be found at:

I could also sit down and increase greatly the references to articles I have written on the game of Diplomacy, or tournaments run/won/started/supported or organizations etc if that is of interest.
However, my life is more than just Diplomacy, though that seems to be the focus here which in itself is rather amusing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EdiBirsan ( talk • contribs) 16:30, 28 January 2009 (UTC) — EdiBirsan ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply
