The only top level basketball league in the US is the NBA. The Premier Basketball League is considered a "developmental" league, and such leagues receive virtually no coverage outside their home markets. Some don't even get that. These leagues rate far below college basketball on the notability scale. Hope this helps. DarkAudit (talk) 16:53, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I have uploaded an image of Barlow. For your other work on the ICE presidents, I presume you've checked with the ICE library? I'll dig around and see if there's anything I can find to help. --Mrussell78 (talk) 11:35, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm not the one who made the edits you reverted, and it wasn't on the computer I am using, but I saw the message when I was logged out.

You may find User:David Underdown/Honours useful - the Gazette search isn't always perfect because of the way the text has been scanned in, but I've been noting down the New Year and Birthday Honours for each year as I come etc them. The gazette search is here if you haven't found it. To make sure you've got as much as possibl eit's usually necessary to search on full names, first names, middle initials, surname and all initials + surname.

Oops, sorry, I should have looked to see if there was an article under his later name before creating this one. I guess I didn't look as hard as I might have done because there are so many of these great Victorian engineers without wikipedia articles, so I wish you luck with your project. Thanks for doing the merger; I'll be happy to do what I can to tidy up and provide citations.

Good luck with the exams! --

On 23 August, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Anglo-Zanzibar War, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page .

And it's a fantastic expansion! -

Great work! I was actually thinking of expanding the article when I was writing

List of Sultans of Zanzibar, but I never got around to it. Again, good work! Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 19:39, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply

]

I've got access to some more sources, so I'll be expanding/referencing the article in the coming days. I'll be sure to cover all the MoS and formatting issues as well. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 13:01, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, if you have Hernon's book, could you format the references with specific page numbers. I just personally prefer if a footnote provides you with a specific page number, rather than a page range (Hernon 2003, p. 397 instead of Hernon 2003, pp. 396-404). It's alright if you don't have the book or don't feel like doing this. :) Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 14:12, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I was going to do it, but neither my university library nor the other ones in the area have the book. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 14:45, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in the process of replacing all BBC

WP:RS. I suspect some of this material can be found in Hernon; could you help re-source some of this material? Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 02:11, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply

]

Very strange. Last week, I thought I didn't have access to this journal, but I guess I was wrong. I can send the pdf via email if you want. Just send me an email, and I'll reply with the pdf. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 12:23, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some of your images have dubious licensing. Since the author's date of death is unknown, these images would not apply under PD-art, and probably are not part of the public domain. However, if these images you scanned from Hernon appeared in publications, then PD-UK-unknown would apply. For example, I fixed this tag, since you had indicated that it was published in Illustrated London News in 1896. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 14:41, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am not a civil engineer yet and my knowledge in this field is extremely limited, infact i haven't even started my degree yet. However, I am sure that I will be of some use to this project soon. Right now I would like to work on expanding some projects here. I know there are not many civil engineering topics related to Pakistan, but I can be of some help if you find one. I will start with the ones that I am comfortable with!

No problem; I'm happy to do it. Can you let me know what size you think you want the image in the article? My feeling is that if you thumbnail it, which technically you're supposed to, then it's unreadable anyway, so the best thing is to make it readable when clicked on and not worry about too much readability at the thumbnail level. I'll proceed on that basis. It's easy to change if you want me to. Mike Christie (talk) 16:14, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
