Oh good. I wonder if there is conflicting info from sources? Going to Melbourne this weekend; however, I'm still a bit angry about Essendon, so they better perform better.  Aaroncrick  TALK 08:27, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I've only got access to one source. I'm rather surprised that 97% of all Australian FAs are stills standing given there were lots of old ones. Given that the overall % is 2850 odd (2850+850 odd)= 77%. Did you see SRT play for red ink and the biased jury give him the MoS instead of Raina who had the same average and scored with greater SR by 10, and also had an ecnomy below 8, 6 wickets and a heap of diving catches?

 * Oh well, I'm sick of T20 and cricket in general, but I agree. Hesp seems too lazy to source himself.  Aaroncrick  TALK 09:05, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

India-Zim-SL
No Uthappa even in a second string eleven. Also weird, captaincy being given to Raina ahead of Karthik in the same team.. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  12:45, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * well Raina is the only first-team regular there, so he has to be captain more or less. India only have 7 bats with Yusuf and Jadeja so all the batsmen will play all the matches probably. It can't be worse than useless Clarke being T20 captain, maybe Australia will be the first team to win a T20 tournament without defeat with ten men. If they lose then it's his fault and S Marsh should have been there all along. Still, all the players play a full IPL and play through injuries then they report crook and skip international duty again. This is going to be like club football soon for India. Obviously conspicuous consumption is the objective of the elite Indian cricket community. Wonder if Raina will let Kohli have a larger share of the Zimbabwean pies this time or put himself No. 3 for a change?? Indian FC really needs an overhaul. Not enough decent bowlers even for 5 Duleep teams let alone 13/14 Ranji Super League teams.  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  00:57, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * True, but I've always found Raina to be an odd choice, even for CSK, Badri seemed to be more suited to captaincy, esp since both DK and Badri have captained state and zone teams regularly. Yeah, it looks like Australia's doing well despite Clarke's captaincy. Dhoni's captaincy was sub-par this W20, seems like he was repeating IPL stuff without accounting for the change in circumstances/caliber of teams etc. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  12:05, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Uthappa is also injured. Clarke is a very good captain but Australia should abuse the 12th man and had Marsh batting, same way Raina, Tiwary and Karthik were full-time fielders in Australia for random bowlers and Tendulkar last time. Might as well have brought in Pujara, he can actually bat properly.  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  04:32, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

It's obviously not Woodfull!!
Agree completely, it's Kippax rather than Woodfull. I should have checked; one of the images of "Jardine" in the photo collection is actually someone else, so I should have known. My mistake! I've changed the caption to say Kippax. --Sarastro1 (talk) 15:51, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It's also beneficial for the scammer as some photos taken in England in 1930-4-8 are tagged as made in Aus and eligiible for usage, even though the three sweaters and background make it obviously England. There was even a pic of Harvery raising his 112 at Leeds in 1948 tagged as 1950-51 in Aus when he made no century  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  04:32, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protection
Hi YM, there's been another request to unprotect an article you applied indefinite semi-protection to after just a couple of anon edits. It was Ngo Dinh Diem this time. Semi-protection should only be used when the issue is persistent to some degree, or where there are BLP issues, and it's best not to use it when we've been editing the articles ourselves, unless it's some kind of emergency. See the policy here. Copy here of previous posts about this from myself and HJ Mitchell. Many thanks, SlimVirgin  talk  contribs 07:25, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Semi protection of Tillakaratne Dilshan
I've bought this up on WP:RUP and I've been asked to contact you, so I'm wondering on your thoughts on its indefinite semi-protection. -- Eraserhead1 &lt;talk&gt; 23:48, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * YM, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this since I'm not a fan of riding roughshod over another admin's actions. If you have any, I'd like to hear them, either here, on RFUP, my talk page or by email. I should also let you know that I've unprotected Isis District State High School and reduced the length of protection on Maribyrnong College (from 3 years to one month). I don't wish to sound condescending, but maybe you might like to ask for the input of other admins on protections? There's no shame in seeking a second opinion. Thanks for your time, HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   02:32, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Peter Burge (cricketer)
Hello, on April 16, 2010 you added considerable content to the article Peter Burge (cricketer), with some reference names, but without adding the references themselves. I believe I have repaired tow of the three, but am unable to determine what the reference name "auslist" is connected to. Could you please re-examine the article and provide the reference you had intended? Otherwise I will have to revisit the article and remove all instances (to remove it from the list Category:Pages with broken reference names) and I would rather not do that. Thanks for your time!

History of the ACT
Hi! If you have the time, is there any chance that you could pass your skilled copy-editing eye over Resumption and disenfranchisement in the History of the ACT article? I've been working through Fifelfoo's concerns, and addressing what happened to the landowners when the freeholds were replaced with leases seemed to be an important issue. I'm down to three areas to expand now - the exploration, self-government, and initial development. Unfortunately, I just downloaded another 15 papers on the second of these, so I get to engage in some exciting reading today. :) I'm also looking into the possibility of external peer review. - Bilby (talk) 02:01, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Not sure it should be copyedited until the content is all down pat, otherwise it would have to be done twice and I think some people will ask for a frok on the bidding process for undue weight. With all those books you've read, you might as well write 10 or so fork articles and GA them, since you've invested so much in the high-quality research. Same for all those other old FARs  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  03:04, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The problem with forking articles is that they'll tend to get too specific: I'm not sure anyone really cares about the Vigilance Association and the resumption process except in so far as it directly relates to the formation of the ACT - the main significant work on the topic seems to exist specifically to highlight that there was opposition, as it seems to have been mostly forgotten. Anyway, I'm very happy to leave ce for now - I'm just expecting to get through the research and expansion phase to be faced with a lot of poor writing issues, but they can be addressed then. I got burnt before with this, so I tend to be a bit cautious. - Bilby (talk) 03:29, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * They might not think of the article but if they see a more info, they will read it. I can't see how the selcetion thing wouldn't be notable, it's the same as an Olympic bid more or less. Can't see how the VA is less important than some other labor union on WP  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  09:26, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, I could definitely fork off the selection process, if it comes to that - I've only put in a tiny bit of what I have. For example, there's a delightful article arguing (along with other things) that the presence of rainbow trout played a significant role in the selection of the site. :) The trick, like always, is to have enough in the article to be comprehensive, without overly focusing on less relevant details. That's what made Fifelfoo's concerns interesting. - Bilby (talk) 10:05, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Well forking always works, and I wonder if Fifelfoo went inactive the day after because of the dispute  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  06:38, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Operation Crimp
Hey mate. When I was home on leave I placed Operation Crimp up for GA and as part of the review the question of some additional US sources has been raised. Unfortunately the majority of the sources I have used are Australian, although was able to get my hands on the American official history (and the PAVN). When I was rewriting it I looked fairly widely for American sources and have added as much US info as I could find (although most of it is gleaned from Australian works). Just wondering if you knew of any other American sources that might be added. Also if you know of any American images that could be added please feel free to do so. FYI the link for the GA review is here. Many thanks in advance. Anotherclown (talk) 14:44, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I think the sources at Battle of Dak To could be usable if acessible, the Murphy one only has one page on it so that's out, the ones by the Boston Pub Co don't have enough meat for anything  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  05:57, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

I have closed the discussion and marked it as reaching consensus. But what will be our next step? Should we get someone to use a bot and add them? Or add them manually (which will be a extremely tedious task even if we distribute it to multiple users)? OhanaUnitedTalk page 03:03, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, if there is a template like undefined then we might as well get stuck into it while the bot is being authorised. People will notice and then plug it to ttheir own article, they won't miss an opportunity; many update their userpage as soon as their article gets FFAed, etc. A few spam messages to wikiprojects will get things real quick and they won't wait for the bot to be authorised before stamping ttheir stuff!
