Reminder
Hola Mentors!

Im sending you this reminder because you volunteered to mentor my students in English Advanced B as they become contributing members of the Wikipedia community. We start working with Wikipedia in earnest next week. I ask you to take a look at your entry in the Mentor Table at School_and_university_projects/ITESM_Campus_Toluca/Mentors

Please update the information, esp. with what your technical and informational expertise is or, if you have decided that you no longer want to participate, please remove your information from the table. Please watch the pages associated with the project. Students will contact you via your user page and as soon as my students have user pages, I will put them on the navigation bar associated with the project.

I don’t need to remind you that your job is NOT to write their assignments for them, of course. I certainly will tell my students that… and the fact that you are volunteers that don’t have to help them… so they need to be nice. If any students misbehave (tho I don’t expect it) don’t hesistate to contact me and I will take care of it. The goal of this project is to integrate successfully into the Wikipedia community. Anyway… what I really need your help with is helping students get oriented to Wikipedia, make appropriate changes and write about appropriate topics (see School_and_university_projects/ITESM_Campus_Toluca/Syllabus for assignments). I also need your technical expertise… I am only an English teacher after all! I appreciate what technology does for us but I am no technical expert!

Again, thank you for volunteering and you will hear from us again soon! Thelmadatter 19:19, 28 August 2007 (UTC)Thelmadatter

Images
Got a whole new load of images of Somerset vs Leicestershire! Check my upload log in a little while as I put them on and paste them to relevant articles. I'll need your help telling me who a particular commentator is. SGGH speak! 21:57, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

RE: The Sabres
I'm not sure why the numbers are different, but as for numbers in the Pro40, the shot of him celebrating his 50 (and the one on langer's page) are from a Pro40 match. Did you see the image of his signed England shirt? 23 is his international number, I don't know what his Sabres number is. And thanks for the Luke Wright heads up.

Arthur W. Robinson and Infobox
Sorry for the delay in replying. Thank you; that seems to work fine for Robinson. It still doesn't like having only a year for birth and only a year for death, though, as tries to put the "Born" and "Died" on the same row. See User:Loganberry/Sandbox for what I mean. I'm not trying to appear ungrateful here, honest! It works perfectly for Robinson himself. Loganberry (Talk) 14:41, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Template:Infobox cricket umpire
Absolutely no objections whatsoever. The template was originally created before the Infobox cricketer biography one, I changed the layout of it afterwards to keep the look of everything consistant. However, using just the one template is a lot simpler, thanks. AMBerry (talk | contribs) 17:50, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Tresco
I don't think that putting the scores after half centuries are important, however 117-run century might be quite good because when we get to large centuries like 164-run century or something, it's quite good to demonstrate. 86-run half century of course doesn't really make sense, because thats like saying an 86-run 50. But perhaps if they are large centuries we can put 145-run century? SGGH speak! 11:02, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Perhaps just the scores themselves if they differ significantly from 100 or 50. You would agree that 182 is a significant enough career moment to warrant a mention beyond "a century" yes? I leave it up to you. SGGH speak! 11:14, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * We are agreed then I just didn't word myself very well. I'm sure Buc will agree. SGGH speak! 11:20, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Thought it would be better to comment here rather than FAC. While I can see how much work you have put into this article, I hope you take this the right way: it reads like you have got a lot of stats and lists then patched them together with some quotes. ie. it doesn't flow very well and I found it confusing to read, some of the grammar is odd. In short, I think it needs a good copy edit. I don't get much of a sense of Trescothick the player, as distinct from his stats. Some of the suggestions that other guy is making are not really helping either. I empathise with your situation; I wrote & nominated Alan Kippax and ended up in the situation that you find yourself in with this one. The FAC process leaves a lot to be desired.

Phanto282 12:37, 13 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your input into the Chappell FAC. I think when you have a minor problem (eg. a missing word etc.) with an article, it is best to just edit it, as you have done, so that's good. As for Trescothick, I think that what I said above is right, but have patience cos I think it will get through with a bit of work. IMO, some FAC's seem to go "stale" among reviewers, but you learn the process which you can apply to your next FAC.

"prolific"
Isn't it that when refs can come in the middle of a sentence if there is no puntucation around and the sentence is very long like this and you have left the topic of the ref behind over there its okay. It is when you get refs around punctuation that you have to worry about it, and in that case it should be here. rather than here ? Meh, as long as people realise prolific is a quote. :) SGGH speak! 00:41, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Good grief, too complicated. Lets just stick with that you did. SGGH speak! 08:11, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Murali spelling
I have a reference for Murali spelling his name "Muralidaran". He says that he wants to be known as Muttiah Muralidaran, not Muralitharan. I don't know how old the article is, but it seems he still feels the same way about his name. On the Channel 9 coverage of the Australia-Sri Lanka Test match, in an interview with the team he said that he doesn't really care how it is spelt, as long as it is pronounced (moor-allee-DOOR-an). As in saying the nickname, Murali, and then adding DURAN on the end. I was the guy who moved the page to "Mutiah Muralidaran," and changed on the "Muralitharans" to "Muralidarans." Feel free to post back on my talkpage with thoughts on how to do this. thanksGibbsyspin (talk) 22:32, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Your copyedit request
On 22 August 2007, you made a request to the League of Copyeditors for a copyedit on Pipe organ. Because of a heavy backlog and a shortage of copyeditors, we have been unable to act on your request in a timely manner, for which we aplogize. Since your request, this article has been subject to significant editing and may no longer be a good candidate for copyediting by the League. If you still wish the League to copyedit this article, please review this article against our new criteria and follow the instructions on the Requests page.

Spam in Alan Gray
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Alan Gray, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Alan Gray is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Alan Gray, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

About my creation of cricketers
Below is a template I will use for creating future cricketers. Please look at the code at edit the page to fully see what I am doing. Also thanks for the help. I was just trying to create a very basic article that did not take long so i could create more in the same time. My thoughts are that having a short not brilliant artcile was better than no article at all. I will implement the things you said like the wikilinks for example. This never crossed my mind!!! Please give me your comments on the template. I will not be creating articles for a bit of time due to RL. Thanks for your help. I have now changed the Jim Andrew page following the suggestions you made. Hope it looks ok. Also I will from now on if a person has not scored a score of 30ish make a suggestion if disagree I will not include his batting performance instead I will state his best bowling as done at moment instead. I will not include someones best bowling if he got a best of one wicket in an innings. please state if disagree. I will change my view if you disagree and will change the Jim Andrew article to the affect when your state your view on the issue. I will also comment on his season by season record when I create further artciles. 02blythed (talk) 01:09, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Abdul Aziz (cricketer)
"Absent dead" is not a myth. There have been all sorts of odd entries recorded in the scorebooks in the past but when it is translated to CI, CA and other mainstream media (possibly even the Wisden of that year - I don't know), they were changed to more conventional "absent hurt" and so on. Tintin 04:25, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Will check the absent dead tonight. Gerald Brodribb's Next Man In is the standard work on curious stuff like this. People with first name Abdul are addressed by their second name. Abdul means servant (of), and the second part (Aziz/Razzaq/Qadir etc) is always a synonym of Allah. Tintin 11:32, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm fully aware of 3RR and won't be making another edit to the page today, but thanks for your concern. Any attempt at breaching the impassé on Talk:Arsenal F.C. would be welcome by the way, I've tried to be reasonable throughout but I've restated the facts of the matter enough times without any of them being acknowledged, it's just impossible to get through.

 * I've already made an appeal on WT:FOOTY for others' opinions and the general consensus there was that UEFA is a reliable source and UEFA-registered players should be included, to no avail. I might make another. Incidentally creating articles on reserves, notable or not, is a no-no if they've never played in the first team in a competitive game. That consensus is pretty much set in stone and I'm happy to abide by it. Qwghlm (talk) 15:40, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

script
Thanks for your correction! I hope you're able to use the script. Tony  (talk)  16:37, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Please stop unlinking dates
Please stop unlinking dates for the time being. The script you're using has problems, and date unlinking in general is causing a lot of conflict with some other editors who support date autoformatting (which, despite the recent MOS changes, is still a supported feature of Wikipedia.) This is only temporary, until a broader consensus can be reached about the right way to approach this, long-term (which may involve disabling DA in the MediaWiki configuration, which would make date unlinking something that could be fully automated by a bot, anyway.)  Thanks,  --UC_Bill (talk) 15:37, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * (Reply to comments left on my talk page)
 * I'm sorry if I inadvertently implied that you were making mistakes. When I was leaving some comments for Tony1 I noticed a number of messages on his talk page about errors while he was using the script, so I mentioned those errors (which I believed were simply bugs in the script, rather than user error) when I left a message on your talk page.  My concern isn't with the date format used, but with the fact that dates are being unlinked.  I think there are better ways to deal with the problems with the date autoformatting feature, and that unlinking the dates at this point is premature.  Feel free to change the format as you deem appropriate, but I would request that you not unlink the dates themselves for now.  --UC_Bill (talk) 20:56, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Date formats after autoformatting
With the recent deprecation of date autoformatting, "raw" dates are becoming increasingly visible on Wikipedia. Strong views are being expressed, and even some edit-warring here and there. A poll has been initiated to gauge community support to help us develop wording in the Manual of Style that reflects a workable consensus. As you have recently commented on date formats, your input would be helpful in getting this right. Four options have been put forward, summarised as:


 * 1) Use whatever format matches the variety of English used in the article
 * 2) For English-speaking countries, use the format used in the country, for non-English-speaking countries, use the format chosen by the first editor that added a date to the article
 * 3) Use International format, except for U.S.-related articles
 * 4) Use the format used in the country

The poll may be found here, as a table where you may indicate your level of support for each option above. --Pete (talk) 17:47, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm thinking of the several hundred players who use the template but who aren't current internationals. I'll see then how necessary it is – it might be enough just to transclude the new template into the old one.  Sam Korn (smoddy) 22:12, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow, scary. Bet you're not volunteering to migrate those manually!  I've been through and created all the missing articles (three Pakistanis and a West Indian), and am about a quarter of the way up my list of infobox conversions.  I'll do a trial bot run tomorrow and should get the bot flag soon.  Sam Korn (smoddy) 22:37, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Infoboxes
Haha, nice thinking! I hadn't thought of that at all. Unfortunately I wouldn't expect the entire thing to get done anytime soon - there's at least 600 left last I checked, most likely well over 1000, still to do.

Your offer of help...
Thank you.

The situation here is that two of our younger editors have created a 'project page' -- in project namespace (and hence highly visible!) I've been making a bigger thing about it than I need to, to try and stop them from doing anything worse and/or drawing attention to other text that could cause problems. My biggest fear is that someone will start widespread labelling that all the Thomas Pages have been written 'in universe', since that will require a great deal of work to resolve. (Just need to keep our heads down!)

 * Thanks again. Despite having three of my own, I'm not really cut-out for kids' work!
 * EdJogg (talk) 10:59, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Copyright + other 'Thomas' stuff
Labelling anything as 'copyvio' here could cause problems. Recently I happened to look up the Subterranea Britannia (sp?) page for Mortehoe & Woolacombe railway station and noticed that some of the text from the WP article (written by me!) was now on the SubBrit page. Now I use the SubBrit page as a ref on the Woolacombe Station article, and there's nothing to say that SubBrit got the information from WP... So, just in case, I have added a note to the article's talk page!

Separate issue, and one I didn't want to draw attention to 'elsewhere'... While responding to the Duke/Oliver pages issue I realised that I could not find our character guidance on the WP:THOMAS pages. I may have skipped over it, but all I could find were some guidelines within the FAQs that covered just the TV Series pages. If you have a few moments to spare, could you have a scout round to see if you can find it again, then we can update the FAQs accordingly. Thanks

Infoboxes changes
Good work so far but is there a way of reducing the space between the player's name and the 'personal information' heading.

Thanks for the infobox changes :) SGGH speak! 12:14, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Clem
Thanks for the help in keeping an eye on Clem while he is on the main page. Very much appreciated. Your improvements are also appreciated and have improved the article. I do have a minor quibble with this edit however. I don't think we can pretend that the seasons used everywhere else in the cricket-playing world other than the UK don't exist, simply because they look a little confusing on the page. 1910–11 is as valid a season as 1910 or 1911. Your thoughts?
 * Good point about non-cricket fans. Perhaps I am being a little bit of a "chippy colonial"! Once again, thanks with the help with Clem; now back to watching the Australian middle order collapse! Cheers, Mattinbgn\talk 06:37, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Kevin Pietersen
Hi, I was reading through the Kevin Pietersen article and noticed there was no mention of Hampshire in the main body of the article. It seemed like a major oversight, but thought the article used to cover it. This edit, six months ago removed the entire domestic section. Since it's been so long, I don't know if it slipped under the radar or not, but I thought as the article's main contributor I should check with you whether this was an accident and if it would be alright to re-add the section. Cheers, Nev1 (talk) 18:13, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * On second thoughts, I've re-added the section. Nev1 (talk) 18:17, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Infobox query
When using the Infobox cricketer biography how should years be expressed when a player has had two spells at a club. Take Chris Lewis as an example, 1996-2008 for Surrey seemed inaccurate hence the current format, but perhaps the seperate spells should be considered as seperate clubs. As the infobox expert I thought you might have some thoughts. Also on the Chris Lewis example which order should Notts and Leics be, Leics are more recent but if Notts are placed bottom then it's out of chronological order. --Jpeeling (talk) 15:00, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

The umpiring section of the infobox doesn't look accurate on this page, any chance you could add a 'onetest' feature for umpires, or possibly simpler when "testsumpired" = 1 then (umptestdebutyr), if that makes any sense. --Jpeeling (talk) 19:29, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Congrats on your recent wedding. Would you like a wedding present of one of your FAs on Main Page? If so, please see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cricket. (Full disclosure, it'd be best if you apply for your present yourself, but that's the wiki way!) --Dweller (talk) 13:33, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

I can just do it, but of course you have edits on other Projects, which would remain unchanged. You can get help reallocating some or all of these using local Crats (or a Steward, I believe). Do you wish me to progress the change at en:? --Dweller (talk) 07:40, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes please! I gather that it isn't possible to change an entire SUL, but that each wiki needs changing individually - what a stupid system! Is it possible to change the en: login then merge to old with the new to in effect move the SUL? In any case, feel free to proceed with the local change. Cheers!&mdash;MDCollins (talk) 23:50, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I can only do a local change, which I'll do in a minute. You then need to secure the SUL on it (do it through your Preferences as soon as possible). Then contact a steward and ask for help with the SUL... and let me know what they say, I'm interested. --Dweller (talk) 09:56, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Bah. This gets more irritating. But we're almost there. There's already a User:MDCollins, created in 2006. It has no edits at all and should be a breeze to usurp. Place a request please at WP:USURP and it'll be done. --Dweller (talk) 10:01, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
