Hey there. It needs some work that's for sure. I put it in for FA because I had run out of ideas and needed some reviews to give me new ideas. Others chipping in would be great to make it even more comprehensive, which I believe in ranks up there with Lancashire's and Yorkshire's pages. The early history surrounding the Hambledon Club and it's years in promotion to first-class cricket as well as it's first 50 years after the clubs second elevation to first-class cricket.

List of batsmen who have scored over 10000 One Day International cricket runs
What else needs to be added?  Aaroncrick  ( talk ) 00:31, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You aren't going to FLC like that are you? You might want to explain that ODIs only started in 1971, and that their frequency has been increasing ever since, hence there only being recent folks I guess. Maybe that the scores and averages have consistently risen as well.  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) 00:48, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, definitely not! Hadn't even thought about that. Just wondering what to add as I was just expanding the article I created.  Aaroncrick  ( talk ) 04:47, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

FAR rules
What are the rules regarding nominating articles for FAR? I was under the impression that they were changed so that an editor could have only one nomination at FAR at any one time. Is this the way it works? In other words, I cannot nominate another article until Delrina (my last nomination) is off the list. Also, would you prefer that I not contribute to FAR? Or would it be ok if I continued to contribute? Regards, — mattisse (Talk) 15:10, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You can have a second. That's how the regs are meant, because this one is way deep into FAR, about three months  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) 00:46, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

South Vietnamese division/corps articles
Would you mind adding at least a general source to these articles? Buckshot06(prof) 22:11, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

FA removal
YM, did you get this one at WP:FA and WP:FFA? Best, Sandy Georgia (Talk) 03:29, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

NYT articles
As I've said on the WP:MILHIST talk page, I have the NYT articles you requested for 1962 South Vietnamese Independence Palace bombing. The articles are in PDF form, and the "E-mail this user" buttons on userpages don't allow you to attach PDF. Therefore, please e-mail me (using the userpage link) with your e-mail address and I'll send the articles to you as PDFs. Cheers, Mm40 (talk) 01:23, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) 06:20, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Broken reference
In this edit of 29 October 2009 you added a reference  to Nguyen Ngoc Tho. Could you please go back and give the details of that reference, or tell me where you found it? BTW, the "r" of "ref" is usually spelled uncapitalised in Wikipedia. Debresser (talk) 08:17, 29 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for fixing it. Debresser (talk) 05:47, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. I usually am not too fussy about the caps as it makes no difference to the output. Sometimes I work on something on teh harddrive and paste it in, and it overlaps some AWB edits by some people who change the caps. There is no particuarly reason for my scheme except saving time  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) 05:53, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

List of India women ODI cricketers
Anything to add to List of India women ODI cricketers before taking to FLC? Not sure if any deeper stats are required -- Win% against Aus/Eng/NZ is lower than 50 while it's over 70 against everyone else, not sure it merits inclusion. I'll convert the red links to blue today. (Aaron, feel free to chime in). cheers. - Spaceman  Spiff  01:20, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * No I can't think of anythin  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) 01:43, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Australian cricket team in England in 1948
Seeing the article is 125kb, it will probably be months until reviewed.  Aaroncrick  ( talk ) 09:39, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Good to see how cric have: Loxton, Cook, Australian cricket team in England in 1948 and Nash at GAN.  Aaroncrick  ( talk ) 09:41, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, we need fresh blood with Dweller, Rambling Man, Phanto and Mattinbgn inactive or barely active  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) 05:53, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

 * : Alan Kippax, Bradman, Ian Chappell, Chuck Fleetwood-Smith and Lindsay Hassett were all by him  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket! ) 06:17, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh; have seen his name somewhere - Chappell or Bradman maybe? I saw matt resigned from adminship.  Aaroncrick  ( talk ) 06:24, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Paid admining: sleuth needed
Please see User talk:Jimbo Wales and the Craigslist want ad linked there, which seeks an admin for hire to do PR on Wikipedia. Please, please, please consider applying for the job to try to find out who is hiring. That a company wants an admin to edit the company's article and post additional "listings" is especially smelly. —Finell (Talk) 06:33, 3 November 2009 (UTC)  (To preserve the continuity of the conversation, I will watch for your reply, if any, here on your Talk page)

Can you delete File talk:Ponting.jpg? As it looks a lot like a TV shot. Also are you going to do Bradman in 1930 one day?  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 04:19, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Hold it. Admin User:TerriersFan seems to have uploaded it in Dec 06.  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 04:22, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It does appear pretty suspicious with the rings  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket! ) 04:23, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm 100% sure it's taken from TV. What do you think of Ponting opening? While I'm pinging in the questions, check out Nick Riewoldt and you'll find 14 templates. User:BrianBeahr also has decided to add St Kilda logos to the infoboxes against consensus, and is continuing to go along his merry way. If you care see discussions at: User talk:BrianBeahr and WP:AFL.  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 04:40, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Anyone can open. He'll be fine. I guess they think that Marsh isn't match-fit yet. Wonder what Hussey's keeping is like. They could just use him and stick Marsh in there. India should get Abhinav Mukund in there (me in left field again. Johnson doesn't bowl as well to lefthanders, at least he can't get wickets with big leg side wides that way) if Gambhir/Sehwag aren't fit. These high school pages have so much vandalism  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket! ) 04:42, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Ponting kept for Mowbray. Talking about that area, construction starting at Invermay Park behind Aurora Stadium, so the old stand might be moved in a few months. A lot of construction workers at the ground because 3,000 bike riders from the mainland went to the ground for something and Jimmy Barnes performed. Nothing in the paper to add to the article though. Strange (I Get sidetracked easy). It's the worst Australian team since the 80's and how on earth did Henqriques get in? What about North, Katich, Jacques, Hughes and co? Haddin kept for NSW yesterday.  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 04:50, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * They picked on T20 Champions league I guess. There aren't many other allrounders around at all, Aaron O'Brien, A McDonald probably considered too slow, Chris Simpson? can't think of any, well, Noffke, or Krejza if people think his batting is useful although Hodge should be in there as always. I guess with no Clarke and White being vulnerable they want more bowling at all costs.  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket! ) 05:25, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Simpson averages about 10 with bat in List A cricket - so no. Hussey should keep and they should play hodge or katich.  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 05:32, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * If they create an equivalent template for AA, hmm, Ponting will have 14/15 of those just for being a contracted player for 14 years. Then how many more for most runs by an Australian in a calendar year? And ICC Team of the Year? And every multilateral ODI tournament that Australia has won. Lol. If White isn't going to bowl, I would definitely have Hodge ahead of him, and he can bowl darts anyway. Or just check NHenriques and go for the extra bowler. Johnson can bat high. Australia'll be right once the injuries straighten out again. Lee, Hopes, Bracken, Clarke, Paine, Haddin, Ferguson, that's a lot.  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket! ) 05:47, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * hmm... the monkey could get a game?  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 05:51, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, him, the Sehwag impersonator who tries to cut everything from offstump, and bowls pace even slower than Ganguly and Cosgrove.  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) 05:59, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, they pulled two spinners out of the depths of grade cricket. I suppose the slower you bowl on those tracks the harder it is to get the ball away. :)  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 06:05, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Not if you bowl at least one full toss and one half-tracker every over, as well as a slow wide.  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) 06:08, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Johnson, Krejza? Anyhow, no one has done anything on Bradman's centuries!  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 06:13, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It'd be easy to recycle all the centuries and 5WI from all the FAs/GAs. Just reuse the prose. Easy..... Wonder if CRIC can get 20% of all the FLs again. Lol.  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) 06:20, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

(outdent) 20% of all sports even? :) Although there's a lot of lists to write!  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 06:24, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The cricket FLC factory died out in early 2006, but FLs can be down relatively mechanically, as long as there are no redlinks to worry about. Some take 4-5 hours, and if we just recycled prose from the comprehensive FA/GAs, maybe even less.  YellowMonkey   ( bananabucket ) 06:27, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, in the India women's Test list, I had to worry about over fifty redlinks, with the ODI one, it reduced to about 10-15; I'm hoping for the T20, there'll be none! - Spaceman  Spiff  06:51, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * That too, any male Test/ODI/T20 cricketers lists won't need any article-filling. Australian Olympic medalists in swimming was 95% redlink writing.  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) 06:58, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Ponting's gonna become 200kb, so need to do spin off articles. What wouldn't get deleted. Series articles would get deleted, would series?  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 07:11, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Early life wouldn't, a separate WC one should survive, maybe a captaincy one. I don't think it will be too much trouble really. Just wait until all the info is in there. I wonder if a Harbhajan v Ponting one people would try and delete it as OR/new topic kind of thing. Because the giant monologues of Ponting can't all fit in there, eg Sharjah altercation  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) 07:23, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Harbhajan v Ponting should be fine as there are similar tennis articles. Ricky Ponting with the Australian cricket team against India in India in 2008 is mostly a fork. Didn't realise it was in the article namespace - was intending for it to be in my user space and just realised it wasn't. Might have to merge it with other series. Although it is a fairly important tour for an Australian captain and it had notable controversies.  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 10:15, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Aren't autos misleading! .  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 10:18, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * They can be. I read snippets of Gilly's and it is a bit ambiguous/misleading in a possibly deliberate self-serving way in a lot of places. Steve Waugh's is pretty self-promoting. Why isn't the Ponting fork in the same naming convention like the others "in India in 08-09"  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) 01:38, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Protection
Good morning,

A couple of weeks ago you protected some articles for me, and I was wondering if you would be willing to do that again. The article in question is same-sex marriage in Maine, and because of yesterday's vote and the national headlines, it is experiencing an increased level of vandalism -- particularly section blanking and additions of non-neutral POVs. I'm keeping an eye on it, but I can't babysit it 24/7, and it would be extraordinarily helpful if it could be protected against anonymous IPs, at least for the next few days.

Thanks,
