Adding the category of 'Films about chess' to this article causes this article to be listed in the list of chess films. This is incorrect as this article is not a film about chess.Louis Reed (talk) 00:26, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Read the name of the article "documentaries by or about Bobby Fischer" certainly makes this article about chess films. IQ125 (talk) 09:17, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Again, this article is not a film about chess and should not be incorrectly included as such. Louis Reed (talk) 17:20, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Incorrect, much of the information is about chess books and chess documentaries, read the article title and read the article contents. IQ125 (talk) 19:36, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

This article is not a 'Film about chess'; it is an article not a film Louis Reed (talk) 14:51, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Only a 'Film about chess' should include the category of 'Films about chess'. An article containing a list of books and documentaries about Bobby Fischer is not a film. Please stop using categories incorrectly. Louis Reed (talk) 15:10, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

• Comment: @Louis reed and IQ125: I'm not completely sure whether the aforementioned categories apply to this particular article, but I can see both sides of the discussion. I've posted a request for feedback at WT:CHESS#List of books and documentaries by or about Bobby Fischer, but you might also find someone to help out at WT:CAT too. There are other things that can be tried to resolve this as well per WP:DR, but edit warring is not really one of them no matter how right you believe you are. Nobody really wins those wars and both sides often end up at WP:AN3. As far as I can tell from the article's edit history, those two categories were added when the article was created. I'm not saying this makes adding them correct, but they were there for quite some time until they were removed in May 2016. Why not treat the version of the article with the categories as the status quo and try to get feedback from other editors? Getting feedback from others might make it easier to establish a consensus one way or the other. Finally, piping a link to "Category:Films about chess" in the "See also" section like this does not really seem correct to me per WP:SEEALSO, especially if category itself is added to the article. I don't recall ever seeing this kind of thing done, but maybe it is acceptable. This might also be a good thing to get some feedback on as well. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:29, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
