Talk:CFOP method

This article was nominated for deletion on August 30, 2007. The result of the discussion was keep.

Quick rewrite

I'm going for a little bit of a reorganise, namely

Condense a quick method summary in to one section (merge the current multiple method-stage sections)
Tournaments - there are loads of speedcubing websites, so I'll try and find something that summarises this method's tournament performance.
History - I'll try and avoid the inventor's own website, but I think it would be reasonable to use it for non-aggrandising state-of-fact info.

Added history

I added a history section to the article, mostly clarifying that Fridrich was not the sole inventor of the method: she did not come up with F2L. Fridrich is usually given credit for the whole method because she popularized it. During the 1990s her website was one of the few available for cubing methods, so she became associated with the system. I don't think anyone will care to dispute this.

The one thing that is disputable is that, because the speedcubing community no longer recognizes her as the inventor, the term CFOP is now more common than Fridrich in many sources. I don't think the circumstances warrant a move to CFOP yet, especially since a redirect is in place and the lead section says CFOP before it says Fridrich.

Changing to CFOP

I would really like the article to be renamed "CFOP method". The Fridrich name is rarely used nowadays and CFOP is slightly more descriptive of the method. |Randomno| WP 23:57, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
