Would you mind taking another look at the article and commenting at FAC? I think I have addressed your concerns.--Wehwalt (talk) 15:35, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Keith Miller
I think there's a few things in the book by Bowes, and there might be something in Frith's Bodyline. I'll have a look tonight and stick anything in that I find. There's quite a bit in Wisden I think, which gives the English reaction to Miller. --Sarastro1 (talk) 07:19, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  04:49, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Nothing missing that I can find. Had a quick look through a few things that I've got, but there's nothing there that you don't already have. Mainly about the short stuff and his duel with Hutton. Perhaps a few bits could be added on this, and I can certainly reference it if you want me to add anything; it's mainly the idea that Miller and Lindwall targeted bouncers at Hutton to unsettle him. However, the focus of this would be more on Hutton than Miller, so not sure it's relevant. It also relies a bit on the idea that Australia were worried about Hutton, which I'm not completely convinced about. The only other thing I noticed is that you say Miller's 79 in the first test was his first test innings, but did he not bat on his debut the season before against New Zealand? Article looks good otherwise. I'll comment on the review page in the next few days after I finish off the article I'm working on. --Sarastro1 (talk) 19:59, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Go right ahead and add! Yes, there seems to be an unfortunate dislaimer that it was his first Ashes innings, not his first Test innings. :(  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  00:21, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I've added some comments to the review. Couldn't find the reference to Hutton that I mentioned, but found some stuff about how Hutton was a bit overawed at first by Miller and Lindwall. I'll add a bit in the next day or two. I can probably also add a bit about the targeting of Hutton from Wisden. Just need to decide where to add it in the article! --Sarastro1 (talk) 20:58, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok. It could go in the playing role if it is generic strategy  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  02:33, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Haven't had a chance to add anything on Hutton yet, as I've been out of action for a few days. I will try to add it at some point, but it is not important as far as FA goes, so I've just added my support. --Sarastro1 (talk) 14:04, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Help with DYK submission
Hi - I'm currently preparing to submit Gia Lam Airport for a DYK in the next couple of days. Do you have any experience with DYK submissions, or any comments or suggestions for the article - failing that, would you know who I could ask for help? Thanks --dragfyre (talk 14:44, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah. I submitted about 270 of them and used to turn it over for about 2 years. The article needs to be a 5X prose expansion, so it might need a paragraph or two extra to make it across. Apart from that I don't see any problem with it that would stop it from passing. is also more up to pace with VCP army content than I am, he might be able to spot it. The submission process shouldn't be difficult you should fill the form at T:DYKT now  YellowMonkey   ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  01:55, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Thanks a lot for the suggestions! --dragfyre (talk 18:06, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

YM, Zorglbot runs through WP:FA right around 0 UTC, so if you edit FA right then, you're likely to edit conflict and stall the bot ... just so you're aware ... I'll go back and bold today's TFA. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 00:34, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi YM, would you mind commenting here? The issue of sticking to the one-nom-at-a-time rule at FAR has been raised again. Cheers, SlimVirgin  talk  contribs 20:58, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Your recent additions to the SA/OTD templates
Hi there,

Some of the events that you have recently added to the SA/OTD templates over the past few days may no longer qualify. The page Days of the year was recently made an official Wikipedia guideline, detailing the criteria of inclusion on the day-of-the-month list pages. This has affected WP:OTD because a long-standing rule there, #3, reads,


 * ''The event and the selected article (bolded item) needs to be listed in the Events section of its corresponding day-of-the-year article.

This WP:OTD rule has now been amended to mention the official WP:DOY guidelines.

Therefore, I recommend you double check the edits you have previously made, because events like this one and this one that, as currently written, may appear questionable under WP:DOY may be reverted from now on. Cheers. Zzyzx11 (talk) 05:08, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protection
Hi YM, there have been a few requests on RfPP recently to unprotect pages you've semi-protected indefinitely after very little vandalism, including a couple you protected today. In case you see me undo some of these, it's because there's been a request. In future it's best just to revert if there have only been one or two inappropriate edits. Cheers, SlimVirgin  talk  contribs 21:23, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't wish to get poke my nose in where it's not wanted and have no comment on your protections, but I think it's common courtesy for me to let you know I've unprotected Murali Vijay and Yusuf Pathan after seemingly valid requests at WP:RFUP. Best, HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   22:06, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

1920–21 Burnley F.C. season
Hi there, I have left a message in response to your comment at the FAC of the above article. Unfortunately, there aren't any existing sources about the record-breaking team, and that's why there is very little information about playing style, etc. Cheers, Big  Dom  06:12, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Cowabunga438 again
You recently blocked for edit warring on Jessica Watson, but his IP is still active and edit warring on the article. He's at, and just added back the information again for what looks like the tenth time today. Would you mind either blocking the IP, or semi-protecting the page? He uses the talk page, but doesn't seem to understand what it's for. Thanks in advance. Dayewalker (talk) 06:08, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! Quite a relief to get it in the end! I'm hoping to put Jardine up next, it's still at peer review for a little longer. Fingers crossed. I noticed the Miller in '48 article is up now.
