== A question about your admin criterion ==

Hi Jguk. I have put a question about your [[User:Jguk/admin criterion|admin criterion]] on its [[User talk:Jguk/admin criterion|talkpage]]. Can you please respond? [[User:Sjakkalle|Sjakkalle]] [[User talk:Sjakkalle|<small>(Check!)</small>]] 12:54, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== 2005 English cricket season (8-30 April) ==

I found your immmediate withdrawal of that article from peer review, your reasons given for it, and your comments on Mav's talk page to be odd. For one, I found Mav's comments on PR to be correct, and even if they weren't how does one comment make immediate unfair treatment? Maybe there's a larger issue going on I am unaware of, but if there is, that should be separated from this issue. This seems to be a case of making a much greater issue than there is and being way over sensitive about (all I can see as) one comment. Forgive me if the issue is resolved, but there seemed to be a disconnect between your comments and what occurred. Specifically, you asked for peer review, got it, and in response asked for mediation regarding the comments. I think you should heed the comments, discuss it where appropriate, and leave it at that. If you want peer review, list it and keep it there, and listen to those comments too. - [[User:Taxman|Taxman]] <sup><small>[[User talk:Taxman|Talk]]</sup></small> 16:54, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

== Some questions and suggestions ==

Q: Hi. I was watching a TV programme today &: What does "removed 4 points of his [driving] licence mean"?

Sugg: I saw your image of UKCTax.

== Instantnood and the MTR ==

Hello, I found your name on the arbitration committee briefing on Instantnood. I found the evidence presented disturbing, as a very similar situation is developing over on the [[MTR]] page. Instantnood has taken it upon himself to change the formatting for all the article names without discussion, and to also change the bolded name in the articles to create redundancy. I am attempting to engage him in discussion, although after reading the evidenece presented on the ArbCom page, it may perhaps be futile. Discussion over this is taking place at [[Wikipedia talk:HK wikipedians' notice board#MTR naming conventions|here]], and any support you could lend would be appreciated, as I cannot seem to find what the final verdict of the ArbCom was. Thank you! [[User:PZFUN|Páll]] 09:23, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Away - no cricket updates ==

Thought I'd mention it here - I'll be away for the weekend, so I'm afraid you'll have to update all the cricket articles for this round of matches. Won't be back editing until Monday probably. Cheers, [[User:Sam Vimes|Sam Vimes]] 22:16, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up, but I was reading it when I got your message! - [[User:Ianbrown|Ian]] 13:48, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)


== [[Parthia]] ==

Honestly, are we going to play this game forever, or are you going to actual discuss the issue on the talk page one of these days? Don't make enemies where there needn't be any. [[User:Variable|siafu]] 18:38, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Why don't ==

you just stick to editing articles, and stay away from the Wikipedia: namespace? The importance of all the goings-on in there is often vastly over-inflated; no-one who's just working on content cares, really. The place just seems like a breeding ground for bad feelings, with little or nothing constructive coming forth. [[User:Dan100|Dan100]] 23:43, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
:Well, OK, I've now read all the RfAr etc. Soooo, why don't you just stay away from contentius issues? Just stick to what is fun? I know it's a shame to see the thing you like being harmed, but is it worth the aggro, and spoiling the good stuff? [[User:Dan100|Dan100]] 00:07, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

== Left? ==

Have you left because of the CE/AD debate / cricket categories? Regarding the CE-AD debate, its so trivial, I don't see why you have to get so flustered about it. I don't have any idea on what the majority ruling was as you say on your page. Take a wikibreak, enjoy the short English summer (come here to India; some of my [[India]]-related Featured Articles might help &#9786;); and resume after a month or so. Anyways, if you choose not to return to wikipedia, then I wish you all the best in your endeavours. Without you we may not have so many cricket articles, so please do review your choice to quit. Regards, &nbsp;<font color="#0082B8">=[[user:Nichalp|Nichalp]] ([[User Talk:Nichalp|Talk]])=</font> 08:03, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

::I'm hoping the "cricket categories" thing wasn't a major part of the decision, it certainly wasn't my intention to drive you off Wikipedia. You've done tons of good contributing here. Although I disagreed with you quite vigorously at times, I've always tried to stick to consensus - I thought that this time around there was general agreement on the Wikiproject talk page when I started moving category tags into talk. (oh, and in case you might have thought I was deliberately following you around by getting involved in the 2005 season transclusion debate, I actually stumbled across that one on my own and it reminded me to check up on the category situation). [[User:Bryan Derksen|Bryan]] 16:59, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::OMG. Please reconsider this decision. This place will be the loser for it and it does seem (to me anyway) to be over a trivial matter from which you should just take a step back from. Have a [[Wikipedia:Wikiholiday|wikiholiday]]. Otherwise, all the best to you and thanks for your help. - [[User:Ianbrown|Ian]] 13:15, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Ouch. Really sorry to see you go, especially over something as trivial as this. Thanks for all your contributions :( [[User:Sam Vimes|Sam Vimes]] 18:50, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm also going to add my voice to those sad to see you leave from a cricket enthusiast's point of view. I'm going to stay out of the minutiae of the controversy that caused you to leave, since I don't know all the details, but from a purely WikiProject Cricket persepective, you'll be sadly missed. I hope you'll return at some point in the future. [[User:Loganberry|Loganberry]] | [[User talk:Loganberry|Talk]] 23:36, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)


Oh gracious me. ''Please'' don't go - we ''need'' people like you! Take some time off, watch some cricket, enjoy the weather and come back with recharged batteries. You will be missed enormously. -- [[User:ALoan|ALoan]] [[User_talk:ALoan|(Talk)]] 10:41, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Jguk, I would also ask you to reconsider. I've been consistently on the opposite side from you on the CE/AD and style debates, and, yes, I think that your method of achieving your preferences wasn't the right way to go, but I have no wish to see you leave. There's no point in having discussions if everybody agrees, and more importantly, there's no way of achieving any semblance of NPOV if people that don't agree leave.

I had not realised that you had left. I am new to WP. I am not that familiar with how WP operates. Knowing, now, what happened to you is a warning to me and to others. The lesson is that NPOV is just hypocrisy. You have my sympathy. You tried to defend WP and we can see the result. There are a group of bullies here, and bully is the appropriate word. They will have their own way, come what may. I can understand your sentiment “well, it's not worth the hassle, is it?” As for me, I will take some time off. I admire the stand you took.--[[User:ClemMcGann|ClemMcGann]] 10:54, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Welcome back ==

Might be inspired to put up my Twenty20 write-ups now. I've really been falling behind without your help :) [[User:Sam Vimes|Sam Vimes]] 28 June 2005 20:54 (UTC)

:Hard worker, you are :) Think I won't be writing as detailed write-ups of the Sri Lankan games, somehow. Good to see West Indies A doing well, though. On another note, our match template with the flags and scores seem to be messed up, as shown by [[England v Bangladesh 21 June 2005]] (oh, and please don't move all of them back to 2005 English cricket season/England v Bangladesh 21 June 2005, it's not worth edit warring about) [[User:Sam Vimes|Sam Vimes]] 28 June 2005 21:07 (UTC) PS: Worked out what was wrong with the match templates. Apparently they all need a space before valign="top". Stupid MediaWiki 1.5. ;) [[User:Sam Vimes|Sam Vimes]] 28 June 2005 21:09 (UTC)

:: I think that should be okay. Individual TV episodes have their own articles, after all. There's hardly any doubt over the notability - a few hundred people actually going to WATCH a four-day long game should attest for that. [[User:Sam Vimes|Sam Vimes]] 28 June 2005 21:17 (UTC)

== Cricket matches on VfD ==

Although I did not realize that the specific matches were part of a series, I also think that the VfD process should be allowed to work - you can make a case for keeping these articles there. I am, quite frankly, uncomfortable with the idea that individual matches would have articles of their own, unless the particular matches had some greater historical noteworthiness (e.g., if one of the athletes were to collapse and die on the field). I am imagining this being used as the justification for articles on the <s>2400+</s> <u>1200</u> yearly NBA basketball games, or the nearly <s>5000</s> <u>2500</u> MLB baseball games. Would you consider something along the lines of merging them by date? --[[User:BD2412|<font style="background: lightgreen">&nbsp;BD2412</font>]] [[User talk:BD2412|<sup><b>talk</b></sup>]] June 28, 2005 21:53 (UTC)
*I truly understand your point of view, having had to justify articles I've written on vfd before (one is up there right now) - and occasionally having seen my own fair labor undone in the process. However, I do not think I will come around to the point of view that a non-championship meeting between teams is generally noteworthy enough to merit an individual article. Then again, I also think that TV episodes should generally be merged by season as well, and the consensus of Wikipedia does not follow my view on that. --[[User:BD2412|<font style="background: lightgreen">&nbsp;BD2412</font>]] [[User talk:BD2412|<sup><b>talk</b></sup>]] June 28, 2005 22:09 (UTC)
**I'm not trying to be unreasonable, but there is nothing in the articles themselves that would lead a casual observer to believe that these games had any special significance above that of any other meeting between any two professional sports teams. I'm afraid I don't see how they can ''all'' be championship games - maybe Cricket determines its champions in a way to which I'm unaccustomed, but in my experience a championship game only includes the single game or series played by the two top teams in the sport to determine which one will wear the crown for the season. Please have faith in the VfD process - you can continue to make the case for keeping the individual articles there. --[[User:BD2412|<font style="background: lightgreen">&nbsp;BD2412</font>]] [[User talk:BD2412|<sup><b>talk</b></sup>]] June 28, 2005 22:30 (UTC)
***Small comment. In American terms, cricket only has a regular season, and the tables at the end determine who is the champion. [[User:Sam Vimes|Sam Vimes]] 28 June 2005 22:31 (UTC)

== Portal links ==

Please see the discussion on [[Talk:Cricket#Portal]] and give your input. [[User:Sam Vimes|Sam Vimes]] 28 June 2005 22:17 (UTC)

Hi mate. You've been adding a lot of links to the Cricket Portal to articles. Good -- but would it not be a better idea to do this with a template, rather than adding text to each article? --[[User:Ngb|Ngb]] 28 June 2005 22:27 (UTC)

Hiya, chipping in here. I removed the Cricket portal link from the top of [[A. E. J. Collins]] as, to be honest, it diverts attention away from the article. If you want to have it in the article, may I suggest you add it in a more unobtrusive space (perhaps the ''See also'' section)?

You've added a cricket newsgroup on the links page.

: To access newsgroups or bulletin boards, you will need to know your ISP news server. It goes something like this: news.ISP NAME.com OR nntp.ISP NAME.com. I'm not sure (but I think) there are free news servers out there too. Will have to query in Reference Desk. Outlook Express is the default news reader for windows. I think its selected via the Tools> menu of Internet Explorer when you surf. If you wan't to avoid the hassle of Outlook Express to read a post, then [http://www.google.co.in/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg&q= Google groups] has enabled access to the usenet servers, so all you have to do is to create an account and start posting there.

== Your opinion sought ==

I have re-opened the issue of the royal stub at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Criteria#.7B.7Broyal-stub.7D.7D]. I think having it produce a ''noble'' link is farcical. Those who did it originally were no doubt well meaning but I don't think they really understood what they were doing. Nobility and royalty are not the same. Your opinions would be welcomed.

==[[7 July 2005 London bombings]]==
Hi. I notice when you did your copyedit of this article you overwrote most of my own work from about 15 minutes before, and some other people's edits. Was this intentional? I wouldn't mind about that, beause individual changes can be discussed, although I thought a lot of them were surely beneficial, such as making sure we didn't have present tense "a bomb explodes" everywhere, and various rearrangements I did. I suspect what happened though is that you had an edit conflict and chose to overwrite my edits instead of merging them, as I did with others' edits when I made my own copyedit. If you did, this means I've wasted my time really. I just wondered if you planned to reincorporate any of the edits you overwrote. Thanks. &mdash; [[User:Trilobite|Trilobite]] ([[User_talk:Trilobite|Talk]]) 8 July 2005 17:49 (UTC)

Sure. Feel free to help me, though, they're all up on [[User:Sam_Vimes/Cricket_reports]] (gotta love user-space :)) [[User:Sam Vimes|Sam Vimes]] 8 July 2005 19:20 (UTC)

:To be honest, that thought never even crossed my mind! :) This is a collaborative effort, not one to take personal credit out of. If it was, I'd have applied for a job as cricket correspondent of a newspaper instead. [[User:Sam Vimes|Sam Vimes]] 8 July 2005 20:09 (UTC)

::Never mind, finished it now. Linked everything in Twenty20, too. There's two matches (Derbys v Notts, Worcs v Glam) that's not got match reports, along with the first ODI of the NWC, and tonight's NL games. [[User:Sam Vimes|Sam Vimes]] 8 July 2005 21:47 (UTC)

Hi jguk, glad you decided to come back.

Sure, though I am not a die-hard fan, I'm quite interested in the [[Bangladesh]] cricket team's endeavors. I'll try my best. --[[User:Ragib|Ragib]] 11:12, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

== Intercontinental Cup ==

If you move a page, then you are supposed to take care of all the double redirections. But if you move the page to make a disambiguation page, then you '''MUST''' do so!!!
[[European/South American Cup|Intercontinental cup]] was a very popular page (around 70 wikilinks), and it's mainly known under that name, not as ''European/South American Cup''. I think it would have been '''a lot''' wiser to make comment at the beginning of the article, such as in the [[Napoleon I of France]] article reading:
:if you are looking for the [[first-class cricket]] see [[ICC Intercontinental Cup]].

Links should mow point to [[European/South American Cup]] as <nowiki>[[European/South American Cup|Intercontinental cup]]</nowiki> or, if it had already a different phrase as <nowiki>[[European/South American Cup|old text]]</nowiki>.

==Re: History of Cricket==
Actually, I got that info from the external link to CricInfo at the bottom of the page. I'm not sure of the accuracy of the pre-12th century theories, which is why I included them with a "some theories" disclaimer, making sure to point out they were speculative rather than established facts. But the 1183 description by Joseph of Exeter is well-documented in many places. In fact I was spurred to check the article today by a mention of Joseph in today's [[Sydney Morning Herald]]. -[[User:Dmmaus|dmmaus]] 11:21, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

== Dawood club cricketers ==

There is a category called 'Dawood club cricketers' which includes Imran and Zaheer. Dawood Industries is a team that played one season of first class ckt in 1975/6 and is no longer around. Shall I delete this category from the pages of these cricketers ? [[User:Tintin1107|Tintin]] 16:59, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't know much about Pakistan domestic cricket either, but Cricketarchive scorecard oracle helped in checking this team's matches. [[User:Tintin1107|Tintin]] 10:06, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

== Hi ==

Hi Jon. I'm not sure I ever welcomed you back. If I didn't, sincere apologies! As it is, I was away doing work experience the last two weeks, so Wikipedia fell by the wayside. It's good to see you orchestrating the cricket world again! I was watching the match in the old style (i.e. Cricinfo), and I went away when it was first announced... Ah well, I missed the excitement. Ah well. You may be interested to know that my history master played in the first ever bowl-out in professional cricket — James Boiling. Yep, I haven't got all that much to do over the summer, so you can expect to see a few cricketer biographies from me, I think. I just have to work out how to get photos... You don't happen to have any of Alec Stewart hanging around, do you? Would be a great help. Anyway, cheers for the note. Here's to Surrey! [[User:smoddy|smoddy]] 23:08, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

== [[Surrey v Warwickshire 18 July 2005]] ==

Dunno whether I did it justice (it must have been way too exciting for comfort!), but it's up, anyway. Almost twice as long as the other reports! [[User:Sam Vimes|Sam Vimes]] 13:03, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

== Cricket! ==

Hi, first off - thanks for coming back. I had only just found the excellent Cricket portal but was disappointed that you had left just as I had hoped to get involved in it (which I have now anyway and happily discovered you're back to help run the good ship). But sycophanticism aside, I've left [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cricket#How_I_could_contribute.3F|a message]] on the talk page for the Cricket project regarding how I might contribute to the project despite my limited knowledge. While I'm not pressing for an answer, I thought I'd flag it up anyway as I hope my suggestion can come in handy. And on that note, here's to some thoroughly reckless batting by Australia's tail order tomorrow morning. --[[User:HighHopes|<font color="magenta">High]][[User talk:HighHopes|<sup><font color="green">(Hopes)</sup>]] 20:18, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

== Wettin ==

Please stop removing references to the Royal Family surname of Wettin pre-1917. It is 100% correct. I double-checked the information some time ago with Buckingham Palace who confirmed it. The Royal House name was Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, but Queen Victoria was informed that that was not her marital surname. She had her Private Secretary research the question of what was Albert's (and so by marriage her) surname. She was informed it was ''Wettin''. So all the Royals descended from her until 1917 had a personal name of Wettin, and a Royal House name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. In 1917 George V changed ''both'' Royal House and personal surname to Windsor. Or as the Columbia Encyclopædia says
:''The name Wettin, family name of Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, consort of Queen Victoria, was changed to Windsor by George V in 1917.''
