List of Test matches
Hello Mike,

I see no-one welcomed you to Wikipedia when you made some contributions back in December. We usually try and welcome everyone when they first join, so a belated welcome now.

I'm writing now because I'm wondering what your plans are for List of Test matches. External links is quite clear that "Wikipedia is not a web directory; no page should consist solely of a collection of external links," so as it stands at the moment, it wouldn't be a suitable article. Were you planning to do any more than that with it (other than lengthen it, of course)?

By the way, if you're interested in cricket, have a look at WikiProject Cricket. On our talk page, we discuss the cricket articles on Wikipedia, and we also have a quiz going on. You'd be welcome to join us.

 * Thanks for the welcome steve - i'm not a big contributor, but I couldn't find an easy access to test scorecards even on the cricinfo website. I'll remove the list as I wasn't aware that sort of thing wasn't a suitable article. Thanks Mike2680 23:32, 13 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey, no problem. I understand why you thought it would be useful. It's just that we discourage articles that are only lists of external links.
 * I'm sure I've seen a list somewhere on Cricinfo... Let me see if I can dig it out... Yes, here it is: http://www.cricinfo.com/db/STATS/TESTS/MISC/COMPLETE_LIST.html.

 * Wow - you have no idea how handy that is! It saves me looking through the archives of tours which has taken me many hours in the past. Thankyou!! Mike2680 12:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

2006 AFL and NRL crowds
Hi Mike2680, nice work on this article - are you planning to do similar articles for previous seasons? I was going to merge some A-League crowd figures in, but there isn't a 2005 article to merge them into yet! -- Chuq 03:07, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

2006 Australian football code crowds
Hi Mike, I made some major changes to the table at the top, as you can see. I am unsure if the crowd figures had already included the first final game of the AFL and NRL - it may need cleaning up. I'll go through the history to see if I have broken it or not, but thought I would give you a heads up. -- Chuq 03:41, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I think I've sorted it, but feel free to verify it! -- Chuq 04:05, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks bloody awesome Chuqie! I thought it was gonna be difficult to weave in the finals crowds without screwing up the H&A crowds Mike2680 10:55, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

With the graph you have made - can you put some labels on the axis'? Its very hard to read the graph without it. Remy B 04:19, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Yep, sure will Remy.. after my exams are over i'll fix up that graph. I didn't know how to put labels in using the new version of office 2007. Mike2680 09:33, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
