Your bounty experiment
Re: "I find the debate quite interesting, and I thought I'd attempt to do it once so I knew what it felt like before I weighed in on the idea."
 * Thank you. I appreciated this neutral view.  Did you write up a short essay on what it felt like? :-)   –  SJ  +  02:19, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

I haven't actually, I have no idea where this discussion is being centralised now, where would I post it? --S.G.(GH) ping! 13:01, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

A few thoughts
It's good to see that there are still a few of us doing cricket articles. But on some of your recent ones you do need to be a bit careful. For example, a match between Kent and Surrey in 1857 won't be County Championship, which didn't start until 1890 (in most histories: 1864 in some older volumes). And the fact that someone played for Oxford or Cambridge University doesn't always mean they studied there in the early days (or even in more recent times): you need to cross-ref to Alumni Oxonienses or Alumni Cantabrigenses to be sure. Oh, and you're still managing SHOUT-y references when you cut and paste from CricketArchive... and in cricket articles, it's always date-month-year, the UK/Australian/Indian way, not month-date-year, which is American. Sorry if this sounds a bit whinge-y. Cheers. Johnlp (talk) 20:56, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah I do forget from time to time with the CA refs - in the old days the titles would paste into lowercase automatically and I forget that they don't do that anymore. I'll take the other points on board, thanks. --S.G.(GH) ping! 12:57, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
