Comments/Ratings for a Single Item
I made some significant changes to this page. I followed up on some of the things Jean-Louis Cazaux was saying in the comments and incorporated them into the historical notes section. I added some photos of the piece from different times and places. I greatly expanded the movement section by discussing how the Rook moves on different types of boards and how this bears on our understanding of orthogonal. I renamed the Alternate Images section to Piece Graphics, added some new images, and formatted it with flexbox instead of a table. I added the other books I cited to the References section, providing links to online copies at Archive.org and Amazon links for purchasing them. I also removed Hans as an author, because in comparing this page with a much older version he had written, I found I had no longer kept anything he had written.
Great, this article is much better now.

Is it just me (a cache?), or is our display script buggy? I can see the more recent comments in the List Comments page, as well as at the bottom of this Enter Comment page.
I tested it and it happened to me, too. I used shift-Reload (on Firefox) to bypass the cache, and voilà, the newest comments are also here.
That's the case with me in every article but I can just refresh it.

It had to do with the cache. I had a rule to cache HTML pages if the cvpuser cookie was not set, but it wasn't working properly on my iPad. Even when I would sign in, it still would not refresh this page. After disabling this rule, I was able to load the latest version of this page in Safari on my iPad. So it will now use the default rule of not caching HTML.
I added an image of a figurine Chariot piece from medieval Italy. This is part of a set of pieces whose images I will be adding to other Chess pieces in the Piececlopedia.

I don't know what comments were posted here yesterday, but in light of recent comments, I have added a new rule to the Conduct Guidelines. You can find these underneath where you can write a new comment.
