Be careful of conflicts of interest
Hi, I want to welcome and encourage you to continue editing. I advise you to first read Conflict of interest, though. Since you're the secretary of the Blackboys Club, you leave yourself open to charges of conflict of interest if the article appears biased. It appears to me that the article as currently written shows no signs of bias, but this is still something you should be careful of when editing. I would also recommend that you check out Policies and guidelines, so that you can tailor your editing to meet the expectations of the Wikipedia community. Again, welcome!--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 01:40, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Good job!
The Blackboys article is improving day by day! I hope all your further editing will be this good. Happy editing!--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 03:13, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Cyril Hawker
On User talk:Bobo192, CorporalJones said: I think you will find that Sir Cyril Hawker died at Etchingham, East Sussex. He was at Hadlow Lodge, Nursing Home. Sir Cyril was a former president of Blackboys Cricket Club and his wife Lady Hawker is still a patron, she still lives at Etchingham. Sir Cyril was also involved heavily with the setting up of the National Playing Fields Association. Can you verify as to whether (this) Sir Cyril Hawker was involved with the Bank of England and also with the M.C.C.

Hi there. I was merely working from the source which I was using to write the article (the same as the external link at the bottom) which claims he was born in Epping and died in Hastings. If you have any evidence to the contrary, please cite this in the article, While I can't personally verify that the same Cyril Hawker was with the Bank of England, I would be interested to see if this information was available somewhere — and seeing that you know more about this than I do, I wonder if you are able to tell me whereabouts to look for this information.

Thank you for contacting me, it's always interesting to me to see if accepted information is able to be challenged by evidence elsewhere. Bobo. 10:46, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I will check up on information regarding the Bank of England and Cyril Hawker, thank you for elaborating further. This is certainly an interesting story of the man in his later days - especially seeing that he was clearly only of minor distinction as a first-class cricketer. Are there any other former first-class cricketers who have some form of association with Blackboys, and as such are there any sources that we can cite this information through? It would be interesting to find out. Bobo. 12:18, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
