Stubs
I notice that you are creating some stubs that to a third party make little sense and have no context - please read the above guidelines Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! (Whisper...) 10:25, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

You're creating some pages with good information on them. Please will you look at the article titles and the opening paragraphs. The reason I ask is that only the cognoscenti know what the articles are about. They need to refer to the sport. 15-104 is a case in point. I'd hate to see your hard work wasted. Fiddle Faddle 10:27, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I will put that a bit more strongly: I could not see the faintest reason why a test match score card should be entitled 15-104. I have moved it to User:Raytheref for the time being. Please check that there is precedent for posting cricket results at this level of detail. If you find precedent, you will also find the sort of title required and you can copy the article back on to a sensible title. -- RHaworth 11:04, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

OK. So the title was not your idea - don't be misled by anything already on Wikipedia! Please read and reply to the suggestion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Cricket. -- RHaworth 11:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

And of course all your "xxxx-xxxx Season" must be moved to sensible titles and state within the article what sport, country and season they refer to. I have edited Pre - 1900 English League Football with suggested new titles and moved the first two - the rest I leave to you. -- RHaworth 11:24, 4 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Scorecards taken away. Links to each season table removed; little point to them. Thanks. Raytheref 14:36, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Scorecards have not been taken away. They have survived over four hours without deletion proposals so why not keep them? -- RHaworth 14:41, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll second that. They just need putting into the right pace, assuming they do not duplicate something else.  There was a lot of hard work in them (ok, that is not a reason to keep them alone) but the content is notable (if it were not then Wisden woudl not exist, for example.  Just go the extra mile and make your work valuable to all instead of obscure and for those who are in the know.  People want to help editors who have good things to put up.  It's the trash that gets removed fast.  But these really do need handling.  Fiddle Faddle 14:54, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
