Johannes Krackenbaars
Where are your sources for this article? Admittedly my knowledge of Sri Lankan cricket isn't my strongest area of cricket, but I've certainly never heard of this guy, nor has anyone with that surname ever played Test cricket for Sri Lanka, as the article claims his son did. I suspect this is a blatant hoax. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 17:51, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Johannes Krackenbaars


A tag has been placed on Johannes Krackenbaars, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

''Patent nonsense: I know a fair bit about cricket and can find no mention in cricket history of this guy, in writing or online. Seems like a hoax to me.''

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 18:11, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Silly spell
OK - you've had it now and found out that we do have patrollers and admins on duty. You got an hour on your hoax. Any more hoaxes, and you'll be getting a week - block from editing, that is. It goes up rapidly to indefinite (= infinite in many cases...) after that. You probably can do some sound editing, so why not prove to us we are wrong and that you aren't just a bored school kid, but are someone who can help the project. Hope to see some good work coming from this account. If we get disruption instead, well, read this post again from the start. Good luck. Peridon (talk) 19:37, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
