Really? Huh, I'll go change the main article as well then. Thanks! Staxringold talkcontribs 16:12, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Editor review
I did an editor review. I assume you know how to find it. YechielMan 04:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

A Good Quiz Question
I was looking at the scorecard at Cricketarchive of the 1909 Philadelphia v Ireland match (following the link from the King article), and was surprised to see the name of HV Hordern in the Philadelphia eleven. Hordern played Test cricket for Australia, so the quiz question would be: "Which Test cricketer played for Philadelphia?" His profile on Cricinfo revealed that in 1907 (and the following years?) he was studying in Pennsylvania, as part of his training as a doctor, which presumably explains how he came to be playing for the Philadelphians. It would make a good DYK, but the Wiki article on Hordern would need to be expanded first. JH (talk page) 20:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I've now expanded the article. I had the idea of perhaps submitting it for DYK myself, but having now seen the requirements for an article to be a valid DYK article I've dropped the idea. (But by all means go ahead yourself if you'd like to.) JH (talk page) 21:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I have seen it now :) It would be OK for DYK if you can add another paragraph or two.  Is there nothing more in Cricinfo or CricketArchive?  -- ALoan (Talk) 21:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

When a conversation becomes three or four way, it becomes hard to know where to respond. I've done so on Tintin's talk page. JH (talk page) 18:43, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I've now proposed it for DYK. Thanks for your help. JH (talk page) 20:25, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * And it's appeared today. :) JH (talk page) 18:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

John Lester
Glad to be of help. Feel free to change or copyedit anything that I add because the quality of my English prose isn't exactly "compelling, even brilliant" :-) Tintin 04:02, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Longevity
Have you noticed how remarkably long-lived the most famous Philadelphian cricketers tended to be? They must have been doing something right! JH (talk page) 22:00, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Lester 98
 * Clark 92
 * King 91
 * Morris 88


 * Morris is recorded as playing a game at the age of 69, so he must have been very fit! Andrew nixon 22:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

DYK

 * In case you are wondering where it has gone, your DYK article was included in an update earlier today, but I replaced it with another entry to avoid all of them being US-related. It should appear in the next update at about 6 hours after the message above. -- ALoan (Talk) 15:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the note, and apologies for any confusion - I should have let you know before. -- ALoan (Talk) 16:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Philadelphian Cricket Team
I don't know if there's a problem with the reflist template, but I can only see the first item in the Notes section. I think the categories box is possibly superimposed over the remainder. This may be related to the fact that I use 800x600 screen resolution, because I'm short-sighted. Would you be willing to replace the template by notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with db-author. Circeus 21:57, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Robin Blair
Hi there, you recently undid a revision I had made to the Robin Blair article, where you changed honorary back to honourary.

I've checked my copy of The Chambers Dictionary (ISBN 0-550-14000-X, published in Edinburgh) and there doesn't seem to be a spelling of honourary anywhere in the world.

This link is to the Oxford University Press website. Cheers, um  drums  19:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the notice on hono(u)rary. I'm not British myself, but have many colleagues that spell it with the "u." I suppose I'll have to start correcting them. Thanks.-- Eva  b  d  20:53, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem, thanks for your reply! Honorary appears to have come to the English language straight from Latin, which is probably why it doesn't have the u that shows honour’s route via French. um  drums  22:53, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Dragon Lore 1 Cover.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:Dragon Lore 1 Cover.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Copy edit
I understand you are well known at WP for your skills. If you have a chance, please look at Thomas Cranmer for us. It is quite close to FA. Thank you in advance. -- SECisek 07:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use disputed for Image:AHS Arms by Denis Towner (JPG).jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:AHS Arms by Denis Towner (JPG).jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. effeietsanders 20:49, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Template:JamaicaCrownCopyright
An editor (not me) has nominated Template:JamaicaCrownCopyright for deletion (see WP:TFD).

In February (which seems so long ago..) I asked you about it, and you replied very kindly. Now that I am on your talk page again, I would like to apologize for the construction of my previous question ([ diff]) and thank you for your response ([ diff]). I did not realize it when I wrote it, but my question was rather confrontational and thus incivil. You could have replied hastily and escalated a conflict, but instead your reply was very reasoned. Thank you, Iamunknown 15:44, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
