Contradiction

There is a contradiction in the Valentina_Golubenko#Conflict_with_Estonian_Chess_Federation section. One source used in the article [1] clearly states Valentina holds Russian citizenship, while a quote from the "Legal Information Centre for Human Rights"^[who?] implies she is stateless. Which is correct? Martintg (talk) 19:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Place of born

Was not she born in Volgograd [2]? She lives in Kohtla-Järve [3]. pjahr (talk) 10:14, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sentence 'Valery Golubenko [..] who won 1993-1995 championship of Estonia in rapid chess' Isn't true, because at least 1995 won that tournament Robert Ševtšenko -- Ahsoous (talk) 02:59, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think that she wasn't first ever resident Estonian woman, who got title of grandmaster, watch article Larisa Volpert. -- Ahsoous (talk) 04:47, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
