Hello. I saw that you added those missing cricket scores, good show. I also saw that you switched the reports to make each one 4 lines instead of the 3 that I had changed it to. I know that it was 4 lines in March, but I was hoping that we could use 3 lines, since it still fits without wrapping. Also, this would be more consistent with the other sports, like football. This seems to take up less space on the page, which means less scrolling, so more can be seen at once. I'm going to change it back to 3 lines, but if you object, we can discuss further. --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 15:36, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, sounds fair enough to me. Worth applying this retroactively do you think? I'd be happy to do edit (for the cricket results, at least) as such if so. Cheers.

Your call on the retro.... If you want help with any of it (or anything else for that matter) please let me know. --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 21:32, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, it's cool; I'll get started on it in an hour or so I think. It's the kind of thing I'm best at, anyway. :p

I haven't updated the Bermuda infobox for a while, I've been busy with my Irish players project. Stats can be found on Cricket Archive using the scorecard oracle feature, though I'll save you the trouble and tell you them: First-class: Played 9, Won 2, Lost 3, Drawn 4. List A: Played 51, Won 9, Lost 38, Tied 2, No Result 2 Andrew nixon 17:11, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, just a quick word to say thanks for your comments, I've implemented your suggestions and hope that if we go to

Hi again, yeah I've done it and added Bill to

WP:FAC so if you'd like to add support/comments etc, then you can find where you need to go here. Thanks again for your time and interest. The Rambling Man 11:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply

Thanks for leaving a ton of comments on the Dhoni wikipage. I was hoping that someone would provide copyedit feedback or do the copyedits (while cursing my lang at the same time). I shall make these changes in the next couple of days and revert back to you. I am currently out of home and travelling but couldn't resist thanking you for the micro-level feedback. 192.8.222.82 10:15, 23 May 2007 (UTC) (Kalyan from cited IP address)[reply]

In assessing him you've said: (Updated class to start as per discussion in WP Cricket, rated importance as low as per discussion in WP Cricket.) Was this a discussion of van der Bijl in particular, of of assessment criteria in general? Could you provide me with a link to it, please? I agree with the "start", but I think that he should have higher importance than "low". I know that he never played Test cricket, because of South Africa's exclusion, but everyone around when he played agreed that he was a tremendous bowler. John Woodcock went so far as to include him in his list of the 100 greatest cricketers of all time. I suppose a parallel would be with Bart King, another great bowler who could never play Test cricket. King has a "high" rating, but I'd settle for "mid" for van der Bijl since he doesn't have the same historical significance in terms of his country's cricket.

Thanks for the lightning fast reply. :) I'll change it to "mid". JH (talk page) 19:30, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tough one. The only instance I had of trying to combine playing and umpiring infoboxes was on the Dickie Bird article; the original result was this. However, it didn't look too bad because it was a reasonable length article. With Llong, it looks like this - pretty ugly! If I put the umpire infobox after the cricketer one instead of before, it disappears to the bottom of the screen. I'm sure there is a way around it (put them side by side) but at the moment I can't think what it is. AMBerry (talk | contribs) 22:12, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I finished addressing all your comments on the Dhoni article. I am submitting the article for GAN as i believe it needs a few images before getting to FAC. Kalyan 15:46, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed up some more things in there, mostly the spaces before the reference.

There's also the link to Stephen King's comments on the show, same link and comments, just a different title used, so I deleted the first referece. ;-)

Hi,

Thanks for your review. I've addressed all of your comments, but am still unsure about two infoboxes (see review page for my reply). Are there other articles that use both?

I have increased the importance rating of this great player from low to high. I see in Rice's talkpage history that you quote a discussion on WP:CRIC which agreed that the rating should be low. Could you please provide me with a link to that discussion as it must be archived now and I can't find it? Thanks. --BlackJack | ^{talk page} 22:12, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation, Allyn. No need to search for the discussion. Back when there was a relative handful of ratings I myself downgraded several people while I was experimenting with the concept and I then forgot to revalue some of them: e.g., Greg Chappell was low for a few months. We're getting there. All the best. --BlackJack | ^{talk page} 07:07, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi., you make me uncomfortable by using too many "sorrys". as soon as i read the message, i struck me that i didn't care to check the talk page of KP and we could have avoided a lot of time on this, if i put a note stating that the talk page needs to get updated. take the chill pill and enjoy the rest of your day. Kalyan 19:47, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would change it to make it better but i dont get what you mean by assert the notability or whatever.

Why did you changed Zamyn-Üüd to Zamïn-Üüd? Bogomolov.PL 09:54, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You had a problem with the references with the Ryan Griffiths article, you just had to put the tag. No need to have deleted the matter. Anyway you've got your link/reference.Jade1984 15:08, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No need to be sorry. I know you were doing your job after all:)Jade1984 15:34, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to point out...if you delete the unsourced info and put the unsourced article tag, it seems senseless in all ways because you've already deleted the unsourced info from the article. So tagging it makes no sense. Don't get offended...it's just a thought.Jade1984 16:31, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. It existed for a rational reason when it was created (we had 'Infobox historic cricketer (overs)' and 'Infobox historic cricketer (balls)' to allow some control in the days before parser functions) but obviously serves no useful purpose now. --ⁿɡ͡b

Here are examples of me using the new infoboxes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saiful_Islam_%28cricketer%29

I did what you said with using dashes when they have only played List A cricket.

This is an example of someone that has palyed both First and List A cricket.

Please tell me what you think and tell me if I am doing it right which I think that I am 02blythed 10:57, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Your 4stats version. I've just had a thought - is it possible for it to be a 5 column table, reading

Career | Tests |ODI |FC |ListA (it would significantly reduce the length, and if the widths were fixed they wouldn't be much wider than at present. Or, creating more complex work, then if only 3 sets were called, could they expand to fill the space for 4 (assuming they aren't then fixed width? Any ideas if that is even possible? –

Yeah I know they are meatpuppets, but because I did the protection and original removal I decided i couldn't be bothered with any arguments resulting from me removing the meatpuppets again. Viridae^Talk 06:59, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, sorry for the edit to "short form cricket"...was an error —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.199.114.33 (talk) 16:00, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for indenting, I'll make sure I do that myself next time. :) ·

The information on the captains of the teams in this tournament seems to be contradictory between the infobox and the article body, would you be able to confirm which is correct? I'm guessing it's the main article text. (Probably a copy & paste error in the infobox?) Thanks,
