Talk:Botswana cricket team in Namibia in 2019

Karabo Motlanka/Karabo Motlhanka
We spotted this during the Africa qualifier, but still not sure of the best solution. This player has two Cricinfo entries (with the same birth date details): http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/308710.html and http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/623716.html. The first of these is for Karabo Motlanka, but the second, spelled as Karabo Motlhanka, has the T20I stats associated with it. The second spelling currently redirects to the first. It's not clear cut as there are two profiles in CI for definitely the same player and his stats are split across the two. The squad listed in CI again uses the player with the second spelling, although the name added on this page uses the spelling from the existing WP article. My preference would be to change the CI link on Karabo Motlanka to the page that has the T20I stats and is being used actively by CI for the current series too, and change the redirect to the opposite direction (with the article title being changed to Karabo Motlhanka). Any thoughts? Bs1jac (talk) 11:16, 19 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Makes sense to me - I've moved it to the name with the T20I stats attached to the CI profile. I'm 99% sure I've emailed Cricinfo about this duplication, but they've not been great of late of fixing some very obvious ones. Check out the talkpage of Bilal Hassan and the two profiles. They even use the same pic on both!  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 11:22, 19 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Thinking about it, I think I emailed them about this one back in May as well. Cheers. Bs1jac (talk) 11:25, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Hehe. I have seen you are making typos while updating the scores. There is no need to rush. I won't take away your edits! Let's decide which part we are going to edit the same time. This will reduce the chances of editing conflicts as I usually will edit scorecards and the conflicts are frustrating. This applies to all articles. Human (talk) 13:36, 19 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I made, and corrected, a typo yes. Easily done. I see you made and corrected at least one in the very same article when adding the squads yesterday. Edit conflicts are frustrating, but it do happen (you should try editing things like premier league or international football scores... where there always seems to be several people updating at the same time and conflicts are inevitable), and is why I stick to associate and domestic cricket series as generally fewer people are involved. Clearly here you were editing almost just as quickly after the innings ended. I'm not going to get into an argument about "who edits what" – I will do some scorecard updates at times when I am online if nobody else has already done them, and not when I am offline and doing other things, just like any other editor. Particularly on pages that I took time to research/create. Bs1jac (talk) 13:54, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

I learned the instantaneous editing from Lugnuts, although I don't have lightning speed like him. It's quite fun though and editing here is all about fun, no need to take it seriously. Well you were the one who brought up the conflict issue in Spain-Finland series. I thought my suggestion will help you... Human (talk) 14:00, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
