Hi! Thank you very much for the excellent review and approval of GA for the article. Your editing has taught many copy editing issues. --Nvvchar (talk) 06:55, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Can you copyedit Pitru Paksha? Shortish article but has some outstanding prose issues. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 17:21, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Local arts
If only I was as effecient with arts such as Launceston, Tasmania. Actually, I doubt much work would be needed to take the article to GA. Probably needs expanding by about 15-20kb, but that shouldn't be too hard :)  Aaroncrick  TALK 11:30, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * And in Military history of Australia the word however has different punctuation before and after in different occurences. If the word is used in the middle of a sentence there is normally a semi-colon used beforehand and then a comma used afterwards. What do you use? Aaroncrick  TALK 00:10, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Pity the cricket articles don't get much of a review unlike the Australian military ones. They get lots of attention. There are lots of ways that however can be punctuated. I don't have a problem with that  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  02:42, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * What are you suggesting? You want me to have a look at Miller?  Aaroncrick  TALK 05:28, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I always need more eyes, cos the cricket FAs always take 3 weeks. Yarralumla, Australian Capital Territory looks sourceable to a street directory quite easily except teh history; sources for that probably only exist in Canberra. GAs can be written esaily. Just have mechanical-style articles on people who played < 10 FCs.

2009 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final FA review
Hi, thanks for the suggestion in the FA review to add a secion on pre-match analysis to the article. I've made an attempt to do that and look forward to hearing your feedback on it. Unfortunately, there were not many reliable sources that had much to say regarding player-to-player match ups, but I did find a number of quotes from the coachs and owners regarding the match. I also discussed the lone previous head-to-head matchup between the two teams and some stats about previous cup finals. Hopefully this is what you were looking for with your comment. Since this particular section is now all new, I would really appreciate it if you could to a quick copyedit of the content as well to make sure I've used good grammar and phrasing. Thanks again for your review and feedback! --SkotyWATC 04:05, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, today (23/04) is the Death anniversary of the Hung Kings, which is a national holiday in Vietnam, can you help me to add this to the "On this day..." on the Main Page?

, unlikely to ever stop. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  06:55, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * He'll skip the next two months of ODIs, there's a couple of tourneys in May-July. Of course the media will never say anything about club before country, unlike the Aus media who slated Hayden after he got injured in 2008 with CSK and missed the WI Tests. apparently CA gave him a pay cut. HAve you seen the article saying that the players finish at 10.30pm or whatever, and when they finish up they have to go to parties and meet corporates until 4am. Great culture lol, but not surprsing when the commentators analyse the girls and corporates more than the rising players. Wonder if they have to drink Mallya's grog?? And Dhoni is dropping Murali everywhere. He should just drop Thusara and play lots of spinners. The pacers are all horrible anyway and worse in the powerplay anyway.  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  07:14, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Mallya's grog isn't bad, among the finest if you ask me :) Yeah, they have to go to parties and stuff, they've become paid entertainers now, no longer sportspeople. Apparently Symmo's exchanging text messages with Mandira Bedi now, all courtesy of the after cricket parties. Wonder if Hayden will go out in favor of Albie/Murali today. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  05:57, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know why the teams don't just use the frontline batsmen as bowlers as most of them are better than the Indian speicalist bowlers and "allrounders" that they use are so bad. Raina isn't much worse than Ashwin/Jakati and Sehwag is better than Ladda the leggie. White couldn't be any worse than Appanna. Rohit >> Harmeet Singh. And Kumble is the worst captain. Kohli > White at bowling? He bowls 95 kph seam!!!  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  06:03, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Also I noticed that almost all the teams have some kind of grog advertising. Wonder if that's why the teams don't buy up Pakistani/Bangaldeshi players/Amla/Shakib etc. I wonder if maybe someday a political party like Shiv Sena will buy an IPL franchise and then we have apartheid teams  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  06:05, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Awful game yesterday, major disappointment all the batsmen. Following the Kochi team fiasco? Seems quite funny. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  09:56, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * CSk v DD, they'd better get dancing to bouncers for the WC. Everyone. As for corruption, I presume everyone is involved and the one with more underworld connections gets away  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  04:49, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * According to the Economic Times, Modi is likely to resign before Monday. Is your money on Kumble or Tendulkar for today? &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  03:50, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't be surprised if things turn around. It's the underworld that make a lot of the decisions, although I haven't been reading on this stuff about him owning some teams and this COI. I wouldn't be surprised if Mumbai fall over. They've got good players but apart from SRT, Zak, Bhaj and Longhair, the other Indians haven't been doing great... R Sathish hahaha and Rahane is nowhere to be seen. Bravo and Duminy are looking off colour as well. wonder if they will just play Dilhara as well instead of McLaren. The batting looks off-colour apart from SRT and Longhair. Aside from the two conservatives in their batting and Taylor/White not doing well in the 4th OS slot, BRC look pretty good. and Kumble shouldn't let Kohli bowl (worse than KP/White). Wonder if CSK will just drop Hayden and use Murali instead; too bad they didn't have Mukund in their squad, then they could get rid of Balaji who bowls worse than Raina anyway. Only CSK can stop themselves from beating Deccan. Still KKR have had the best players of all types for ages and are the wrost across the three years.  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  04:39, 21 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Watch the CSK v DC game? Funny one that was, I expected DC to coast to victory, but can't say I'm not happy with the result. Although it means that the best cheerleaders won't be there for the final.&mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  04:35, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Snoozed off after halfway. Hayden out for Hussey in the final, preferably  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  09:26, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * SRT played for red ink again  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  06:38, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * BTW, anything on the CU that I'd emailed about? Yuvi has given an interview saying that he's feeling low on confidence, see that? cheers &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  09:13, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No I hadn't seen the interview actually. No KM unless he's moved back to India. I don't think India can rely on hitting so many sixes at the WC because RSA/AUS/NZ won't drop two sitters every innings, and they'll probably manage the odd screamer so the borderline six might get cut down. Steve Smith actually twice in one T20 against WI, ran from deep square to deep mid-wicket and caught two relatively flat hits that would have gone another 15-20 metres; he intercepted them about 2.5 above the ground with a big vertical jump. And lucky for Australia, Lee got injured. Hopefully Clarke gets injured so they can bring in Shaun Marsh. The selection is based on friendship and girly politics like Prom Queens (India and Oz) :(  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket! ) 09:25, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thought that was KM. BTW, looks like that Jugal70 or something. I'm surprised with the selection for the W20, no imagination for the Indian team, even after IPL. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  10:45, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Wrong master, looks like it was User:Mkbdtu, not Jugal70. Can you run a CU for sleepers? We haven't tagged any in about a week, that's the longest time we haven't found any, and he's been active as an IP during that time. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  12:14, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * SA78 is on 59.95.... etc not Mkbdtu is it? But nobody else on that range  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  07:35, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah ok, our friend down below has been doing unblock requests for SA, so I thought that. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  17:37, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Well it's not my call, and in any case, apart from the odd, most Indians don't even care if their stuff gets vandalised with Islamist Pakistani POV, so I doubt you'll have to worry.

 * Just looked. Wow. Maybe they will break up now if they have to take pay cuts. Shouldn't it be really easy for teams to rort it by funneling off money to shareholders etc who then buy gifts and houses for players' family etc? I suppose in some cases they could even buy cocaine and hand it to the players but they could end up in jail if they do that, or end up like Stokes  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  07:47, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * You'd think so. I remember when Carlton exceeded the cap and only lost draft picks. Wonder what the capacity of Aurora Stadium will be now a stand has been removed? I read the other day that they want to covert the stadium into a 25,000 all-seater. I dunno why they bothered with finishing the stadium with such a low capacity. When St Kilda played Hawthorn last year, the match was sold out within 5 minutes, so you had next to no chance of getting tickets. And Hawthorn have 10,000 Tasmanian members and there's about 500 ground members, all in a stadium that has a seating capacity of only 11,500. Seating is always sold out weeks in advance unless Adelaide, Fremantle or Port Adelaide are playing. Are they still progressing with the Adelaide Oval AFL idea?  Aaroncrick  TALK 08:40, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Well Rann's in there so maybe it might proceed although there might be a lot of heritage-based court challenges. Still the arguments over the stadium wrt AFL are a joke. They should play soccer there, might have the pitch more sporting. Personally I think they should just abolish the salary cap, there are too many bad teams in AFL adn NRL, killing a few of them off would be good. Nobody needs to see Richmond or Melbourne-standard play and with GWS and GC it will just get worse.
