Three Dimensional Chess
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-dimensional_chess

ALL external links to 3-D chess variants that do not already have their own
Wikipedia pages have been deleted by a high-ranking editor 'MrOllie' who
apparently knows nothing about this subject.  He is incorrectly applying
two Wikipedia guidelines to justify his wholesale destructive action:

external links
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:EL

neutral point of view
due & undue weight
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:UNDUE#Undue_weight

Essentially, the current state of the article is that it only mentions or
even, references Raumschach, (Star Trek) Tri-Dimensional Chess, Cubic Chess
and Dragonchess.  The existence of all other 3-D chess variants has been
gutted from the literature.
 
Unfortunately, ordinary editors rarely win a dispute, regardless of right &
wrong, against high-ranking editors at Wikipedia unless an overwhelming
number of experts make their views known as editors.  I intend to.
