dyk
I see that the cricket portal gets its dyk set updated. Well done. DYK ... that Harry Peckham, along with Charles Bennet, 4th Earl of Tankerville, wrote the first draft of cricket's leg before wicket rule? For your consideration (on main page today) Victuallers (talk) 11:19, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

NYMR - Phil Bustard Fan Club
Thank you for deleting that entirely inappropriate NYMR entry. I was considering doing so myself but had only got so far as identifying who added it - unfortunately an anonymous user. If such a section were desirable in the NYMR article there are a great many other people who have contributed to the success of the NYMR over the last 40 years who deserve mention before Mr. Bustard, who is a very new member of the NYMR management team - even assuming he has made a useful contribution since he joined.

 * RE

Railway line header‎
I have asked for unprotecting this template but failed because it has been transcluded by over 4000 articles/templates. The only way to make the modification is to ask for "edit in protected page" by administrator/sysops, again in request for page protection. But that modification needs to be agreed by "enough" users in the talk page before making the request. In this case, 2 of us seem to be too little. Or you may ask more RDT activists personally for agreement and reply in template talk:Railway line header‎ to justify the request. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk) 02:52, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Your NYMR article changes back in May 2006
I am currently trying to change all references in this article into inline references, in May 2006 you did a major edit to this article, including adding the first two references and it is these two that I have yet to convert to inline form; my problem is that I cannot associate these references with a particular part of the article. Rather than simply removing them, I thought it best to contact you first in case, after all this time, you could remember to where they refered.

If I do not hear from you, I shall remove those two final non-inline references but would hope in due course to create more inline references in keeping with the size of the article.

WW1 Watches up for deletion
Hi Ollie I am the author of the book "the birth of the wristwatch and its baptism in ww1" from where this article originates. The subject is vastly misunderstood and I am trying to create true awareness about it. Ian Haynes —Preceding unsigned comment added by WW1 Watches (talk • contribs) 17:44, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
