Castling on Chess

Hi. It's an unfortunate thing on wikipedia that if you revert a small part of someone's work the edit summary makes it sound like you didn't like any of it. I thought your edits improved Chess quite a bit, and I thank you. In one specific part I thought it better to stick closer to the language that FIDE uses so I changed that back. That's just my opinion, and maybe it would be better to use a more straightforward description like the one you put in. (The "on the first rank" requirement is surprising to most people including me and has to be explained. "Not promoted" is easier to understand, but it isn't the way that FIDE words it.) On Talk:Chess#Castling you and Bubba73 point out that the wording the section uses now isn't very close to FIDE's rulebook anyway, and I think I agree with both of you that we should fix that up. Anyway, thanks for your work improving chess articles and please don't be offended if I occasionally disagree with some small things. You should feel free to disagree with me too, as I think working through different editors' ideas makes an article better. Quale (talk) 23:47, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

no I really don't feel offended and what comes really enjoying in wiki is the discussion period to me. I feel no ego and one of my concerns which I didn't implement but discussed in the talk page implemented by ubba73 (the value of the king). But u said "In one specific part I thought it better to stick closer to the language that FIDE uses so I changed that back.". But it is not FIDE, it is the cited online source (which still I think of the reason why it is there instead of FIDE, as far as I see, the other parts quote the fide handbook of chess rules). I changed the wording of the statement to resemble the FIDE for u don't like mine(a rook not in the game by promotion) By the way, I still vote to mine cause it is simpler. Thank you.
