Norfolk Island, or something
Creeping senility as an excuse is quite legitimate, methinks, but I couldn't claim it, for in my case, sleep deprivation would seem more appropriate, but as an excuse for my various editing mishaps it's starting to get kind of trite, so I'll settle instead for something more precise but less accurate, namely, that I couldn't stomach letting my future self look back on these days and falsely remember me as flawless, failure, however slight, being, stereotypically at least, part of the pathway to greater success, giving us, I suppose, both a self-fulfilling prophecy and a run-on sentence (not to mention an article request). Congrats, BTW, on the Morisset and Price articles; I enjoyed reading them. Chris Roy 16:14, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Please follow Naming conventions when choosing titles of articles. Thanks. Gamaliel 3 July 2005 00:19 (UTC)

It was my pleasure
Thanks for saying you thought this was a "great article" - the early British settlement of Australia is a favourite topic of mine as I have First Fleet and convict ancestors. If I had time, I would contribute much more. MulgaBill 23:37, 30 July 2005 (UTC)


 * [[Image:WikiThanks.png]], No, thank you for great edits on Wikipedia. Please come contribute with us more, we'd love to have you.  (And no, I haven't been on Wikipedia all day, I just got back on the computer, I mean, I'm not that addicted).  Take care, : ). Dbraceyrules 03:16, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

List of Australian Test cricketers
Hi, not really. It seems to be the convention that we use an individual's "known as" name rather than their birth name. eg. Richie Benaud and not Richard Benaud, Greg Chappell and not Gregory Chappell. In the case of Tom Garrett, according to Cricinfo he was known as Tom rather than Thomas, and as there is no other article called Tom Garrett, it seems logical for the link to be Tom Garrett. I think you'd use Tom Garrett (cricketer) (or Thomas Garrett (cricketer)) only if there was an existing article and you needed to disambiguate. - Ian &equiv; talk 08:27, 5 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Just a note. Alick and Alec are both fine. There are two different versions.Tintin 03:39, 10 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks but I have no preference either way. Tintin 04:31, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Who remanded Peate
Bill: My apologies. That change was mistakenly overwritten during my last revert. It's fixed now. -- Ian &equiv; talk 07:21, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Roberta Sykes
You are aware, I hope, that Roberta Sykes is not actually an indigenous Australian? Her mother is white and her father was an African-American serviceman. She was unaware of this until adulthood, and so far as I know she still identifes as an indigenous Australian. But any article on her would have to state this fact. Adam 22:01, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

AFL
G'day mate, just wondering if you'd be interested in joining the WikiProject AFL. I've made the project and been creating stacks of articles solo, and I need to find others that can help me out with expanding everything. I've done a hell of a lot, I just need more participants and then this project will be cooking with oil. Cheers, Rogerthat 11:18, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Umpires
Great work, but I am not through with the proof reading yet :) Tintin Talk 03:10, 1 January 2006 (UTC)


 * In some articles like Clement Garing, Melbourne is aliased to Victoria. Is it deliberate ? Tintin Talk 03:23, 1 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I am done for today. If the Melbourne|Victoria was done deliberately, please revert my change in Arthur Wyeth, but it would be better to have Victoria (Australia) than the plain Victoria. Once again, great stuff; very few of us could have done what you have done here. Tintin Talk 03:35, 1 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Does this make sense?


 * I am a bit confused still. Can you please take a look at the change here. Clement Garing's place of death is currently Melbourne|Victoria. Please check whether Garing should be changed to the format of Wyeth, or if Wyeth should be reverted. Tintin Talk 04:01, 1 January 2006 (UTC)


 * No, I am very happy with current version. My disagreement was only with the older version that appeared in the Garing article. Tintin Talk 04:25, 1 January 2006 (UTC)


 * If you look at the Cricketarchive or Cricinfo page, they have spelt the name of the place 'May..' instead of 'Mary..'. But it is quite possible that they have erred (which is not that rare). Good to know that my edits are helpful. Tintin Talk 22:03, 7 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Cool ! Meanwhile, Cricketarchive site is down again. Wonder what is happening there. Tintin Talk 23:01, 7 January 2006 (UTC)


 * It went down the first time some 30 hours ago. Since then it has been up only for 2-3 hours. Tintin Talk 23:14, 7 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Can I suggest an addition ? Tintin Talk 03:37, 9 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Maybe something more about the controversies that the umpires were invovled in - like Mick Harvey in Miandad/Hogg runout at MCG 78/9, about Crafter ending up between DK and Miandad in the second most famous photo of an umpire, Egar/Hoy in Wally Grout's fallen bail incident in the final Test of 60/61 etc ?


 * Feel free to ignore all these, but if you don't mention the name of Gavaskar when you write Whitehead's article, I'll add it myself :-) Tintin Talk 03:49, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

John Scott (cricketer)
I thought that since you created John Scott (umpire), I ought to let you know that I have just merged it into John Scott (cricketer) which was about the same chap. Please do look over my merging and improve the new article if you want! →Ollie (talk • contribs) 00:13, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
