Hey Sam, I just noticed there's no entry at Wikipedia for John Peters!
Also, how do you link a player to the list of US Chess players?


Thank you for pointing this out. In answer to your question, at the
bottom of the Wikipedia page, insert the following:

[[Category:U.S. chess players|Peters, John]]

That will automatically put him on the US Chess Players.

In response to your question, I have just created a Wikipedia Page for
John Peters, which is at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Peters

However, I do not know much about Peters, other than I beat him a
chess game in 1969. Therefore, I am hoping that somebody who knows him
better than I do will expand on the page.

[Event "Continental Amateur Championship"]
[Site "New York"]
[Date "1969.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Peters,John A (USA)"]
[Black "Sloan,Sam"]
[Result "0-1"]
[ECO "B01"]

Please don't let that keep you from writing his biography.

It is my understanding that he is John A. Peters III.

If you had read the page, you would have known that I did not write
his biography.

I simply created a "stub" which is a shell which makes it easier for
someone more qualified than I to write his biography.
