Cricket Project Membership
Hello, Albert. Welcome to the site and thanks very much for your valued contribution so far. Not only that, you are the 100th member of WikiProject Cricket so I've taken the liberty of awarding you the membership badge on your user page. Hope you don't mind. All the best. --GeorgeWilliams 19:04, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Philately
I am sure all of us will be happy for your contributions to any of the philatelic articles. It's surprising where one editing lead you. I just worked on a few motorcycle related pages on stuff I had completely forgotten about. It is interesting here. Cheers ww2censor 15:16, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello
I'm writing to you to thank you for your support in the philately discussion and, lo and behold, you're also a cricket man!!! Small world, I suppose. Anyway, I see you're new here but you've made your mark already in my book. Hope you can spare the time to join us often and I look forward to seeing more contributions from you. All the best.

Er, I see you're from Durham: I'm a Yorkie...... ;-)

Philately Categories for Merge
Discussion Page Set Up on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_July_30 so please be prepared to give additional views if required. --BlackJack | talk page 12:49, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Cricket History categories
Looks good to me, Albert, but I think I might keep the 18th century category as it contains quite a lot of entries. --BlackJack | talk page 18:41, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

W G Grace
Hello Albert and welcome back. I spotted your addition to the WG article just now and it's a good idea. I know I've read a book by Eric Midwinter before and I think I enjoyed it but I was wondering if you would recommend me to buy his WG book?

I'm afraid your new name for the article didn't last long, which is not surprising when you know how some of these people think. Joining the initials isn't my preference but it is certainly at least acceptable and does not involve full stops here, there and everywhere like a case of measles. If you want to raise it as an issue, I will support you. The so-called "cricket project" does NOT own these articles, although certain individuals think otherwise.

Are you still studying GB stamps, by the way? All the best --BlackJack | talk page 18:29, 17 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Albert. I definitely will buy that book.  Best regards.  --BlackJack | talk page 18:18, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Philately WikiProject
You are listed as a participant in the Philately WikiProject. Today I have created an inactive list consisting of those participants who have not made any philatelic edits for more than six months. I was going to use a 3 month cut off point but felt generous. You may be one of those editors, so if I have moved you and you want to remain an active participant, please forgive me, and move your name back from the inactive list to the active list. If you are still active on Wikipedia but are inactive in philately I hope there is no harm done in listing you as inactive. We really need more active participants for all philatelic articles. The Philately Portal has been running for some time and I am doing occasional updates, Postage stamps of Ireland is a candidate for featured article (that would be the first philatelic article), and several of the redlinks have been filled but we need more activity so if you are around please participate. Otherwise thanks for the work you have done in the past. Cheers ww2censor 00:25, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Resolved
Hi, just thought I'd drop a note here to let you know that I reviewed the situation involving the edits by User:Richard Daft which you reported to AN/I. As a result of that investigation the other party has been blocked indefinitely, with an option to unblock if he retracts threats that he has made and agrees not to edit on topics related to John Leach. As I said to BlackJack, it is most unfortunate when these things occur at this time of year, as everyone's still coming back from holidays and things can slip under the radar. If something like this erupts again don't hesitate to let me know, although at times I may be on wikibreak and I advertise this clearly at the top of my talk page.
