Given that you are wiki-retired (again) maybe it's not over gracious to ask you this, but I won't think any the less of you if either (1) you ignore it nor even if (2) at a future date you are seduced out of wiki-retirement (again) and answer it.
I am trying to understand why different sources give different birth years for this fellow. You started his wiki entry. One of the wiki sources gives his dob as 31 Oct 1796 which is quite close to the date given in the wiki text of 1 Oct 1796. Well, that could be the difference between birth and baptism. Or a typo in a source. But other sources say he was born 1798. Waiting two years to baptise an infant was unusual because of the dire consequences for the little guy's immortal soul if he died unbaptised. Of course, it may very well be possible to resolve the issue if there is a copy of the baptismal records somewhere. None of that should be your problem.
BUT if, by any happy chance, you know where the 1 Oct 1796 birth date appearing in the wiki entry comes from, sharing that info would be helpful. And please. Time to get on with Monday. Thanks for thinking about it. Regards Charles01 ( talk) 07:22, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited 1727 English cricket season, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Ashford and Cranbrook ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

In my opinion, for what, it's worth. Maun's book used all the newspaper sources known about and his list of games must be, subject to error (always likely with such a big topic), the main list. I also do not 'trust' CA as I am aware of little quirks of it's compilers. However by writing to Keith Warsop you can see if he has any new games from diaries etc. He occasionally does. As I have access to the same sources as Ian, I have the same list. You might be able to get access through your library service via Athens. It is worthwhile but tedious. Purchasing access is very expensive. My belief is that all matches played before 1800 are 'important.' Some clearly more important than others but I'd don't agree with 'first class' being applied as we have too little information by and large. Your work on WP has got much, much sounder though I take issue with the opinions you sometimes express. One cannot make assumptions without evidence and there ain't a lot of it in most cases. I accept that without your work pre-1800 would not be represented, nor so well. In summary Maun is the best source, Keith Warsop the best guide. I do not intend any edit war but please think carefully about drawing conclusions from scanty evidence. Again Keith is the best guide, indeed on this subject, he is pre-emminent. Match your list with his. The proviso on pre 1800, is that newspapers containing local news did not, or no longer exist in many areas and thus there is a natural bias to where they do ie: the South East.

If that is correct, then the international definition of a season needs looking at. I was under the impression that September was the start of the winter season, per International cricket in 2011–12. Having looked at ESPNcricinfo and CricketArchive, I can see that you are right, but if we move the West Indies v England series, we will also have to move Pakistan v Zimbabwe, which also occurred in September 2011 and is listed as having taken place in the 2011 season on ESPNcricinfo. The same goes for Kenya's tour of the Netherlands, Canada in Ireland and the entirety of the ICC World Cricket League Division Six. – Pee Jay 12:06, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

As a respite to your current travails, can you check Haygarth/Altham on this cricketer, please? Looking to reference and expand, I find that his real name is Godfrey Bolles Lee, not George – he is named as such in the Alumni Oxonienses, The Times obit in 1903 and the 1901 census, and there's no doubt it's him. I'll move him to that name, but obviously there ought to be mention of the fact that he is referenced under a different name in some sources, including both Cricketarchive and cricinfo, which presumably also derive their information from Haygarth. Johnlp ( talk) 11:20, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
THE REV. GODFREY BOLLES LEE, Warden of Winchester College since 1861, died at his residence in Winchester on January 29th 1903, at the age of 85. He formed one of the Winchester Eleven against Eton and Harrow at Lord's in 1833 and 1834, and assisted Oxford against Cambridge on the same ground in 1838 and 1839. His portrait appeared in the Illustrated London News of July 29th, 1893, and again in the same paper of February 7th, 1903.
Please add the names of these mononymous cricketers to the relevant disambiguation pages. For example, I added Lear (1808 cricketer) to the Lear page. This will help users to navigate the encyclopedia, prevent duplicate entries, and generate more hits for these articles. Thank you.- Gilliam ( talk) 06:57, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Although I can vaguely understand the desire to document every cricketer who has ever taken the field in a first class cricket match, ever, when you have "Smith" unknown birth/death dates, I can't see how any sort of retrospective historical research can turn this out from a WP:PERMASTUB? At least with a full name you can do some genealogy research and work out BMDs. Surely in that case, and you feel the need to document such information, it's better to have a list of some description containing all of that information rather than a WP:PERMASTUB?

Hello Jack, hope all it well! I've been told you might be the guy to ask about the Surrey Club which played first-class matches on and off in the mid 1850s. I've tried to find information online and in book references about the club, but I have met somewhat of a dead end! So what do you know about this club?! Howzat?Out!Out!Out! ( talk) 20:11, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
The Surrey Club Eleven, which played its first major match v MCC in 1846, comprised playing members of Surrey CCC together with any ground bowlers engaged at The Oval; in fact an organisation similar to MCC. The quality of the elevens fielded by the Club was adjusted to suit the opposition and the guide includes only matches v MCC.
The Surrey match versus Kent at The Oval in June 1846 marks the re-entry of the Surrey county team into major county cricket on a continuous basis. In the previous year, the old Montpelier Cricket Club of Walworth had paid Mr Houghton (can't find anything about this chap at present) to create a cricket ground at Kennington Oval and, later in 1845, Surrey County Cricket Club was formed with its headquarters at The Oval. The success of the new club was immediate and all Surrey eleven-a-side matches against "important" (sic) opposition from 1846 are included in the guide. The old Surrey side of the 18th century had continued to oppose England (i.e., All-England cricket teams) in the first decade of the new century and these matches are included in the guide. Surrey matches were very infrequent from 1811 to 1845 and the ACS only recognises those in which major players took part. Surrey's strength in some seasons lay in the the Epsom Cricket Club and Godalming Cricket Club teams.

Currently we cut off notability for players to have played in the World Cricket League at Division Five. At the time we decided this there were eight divisions of the WCL. As of the recent completion of Division 7, there are now only six divisions. So, would you have any objection to extending notability to cover six divisions? As you know my eventual aim is that all players to have played official internationals should be considered notable, but extending it to WCL 6 so that all current WCL divisions are notable would be a step in the right direction!

Hi there - hope you're doing okay. I'm currently reworking (for the umpteenth time, I know...) my First-class players lists pages, basically turning all 26 pages into one set of collapsible lists on one page...
This will mean that I can finally get rid of 26 of my subpages - that *is* pushing it, after all. I'm not sure if there is an upper limit to the "group" number, but I've just gone tested up to 30 with ease, and it means I can finally put all these long lists in one easily accessible place. It will also mean that there will be a couple of links (I'm thinking primarily on the WikiProject Report) that become redlinks.
As long as both of us know, I know I can trust at least one of us! Can you see the collapsible tables as I intend them to be? I will certainly make it obvious which collapsible list refers to which teams, in the long run.
All the best. :) Bobo . 04:16, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
I noticed you are back working on Trueman's article again. Have you seen the latest biography by Chris Waters? It's actually rather good, and quite warts 'n' all.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

I apologise then. It seemed a bit of a co-incidence that you had made a plea so to speak and AA, let's face it, someone you have often communicated with, suddenly emerged to 'denounce' me a day or so after our communication. Again my apologies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.144.224.199 ( talk) 15:43, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
If that is correct, then the international definition of a season needs looking at. I was under the impression that September was the start of the winter season, per International cricket in 2011–12. Having looked at ESPNcricinfo and CricketArchive, I can see that you are right, but if we move the West Indies v England series, we will also have to move Pakistan v Zimbabwe, which also occurred in September 2011 and is listed as having taken place in the 2011 season on ESPNcricinfo. The same goes for Kenya's tour of the Netherlands, Canada in Ireland and the entirety of the ICC World Cricket League Division Six. – Pee Jay 12:06, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

As a respite to your current travails, can you check Haygarth/Altham on this cricketer, please? Looking to reference and expand, I find that his real name is Godfrey Bolles Lee, not George – he is named as such in the Alumni Oxonienses, The Times obit in 1903 and the 1901 census, and there's no doubt it's him. I'll move him to that name, but obviously there ought to be mention of the fact that he is referenced under a different name in some sources, including both Cricketarchive and cricinfo, which presumably also derive their information from Haygarth. Johnlp ( talk) 11:20, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
THE REV. GODFREY BOLLES LEE, Warden of Winchester College since 1861, died at his residence in Winchester on January 29th 1903, at the age of 85. He formed one of the Winchester Eleven against Eton and Harrow at Lord's in 1833 and 1834, and assisted Oxford against Cambridge on the same ground in 1838 and 1839. His portrait appeared in the Illustrated London News of July 29th, 1893, and again in the same paper of February 7th, 1903.
Please add the names of these mononymous cricketers to the relevant disambiguation pages. For example, I added Lear (1808 cricketer) to the Lear page. This will help users to navigate the encyclopedia, prevent duplicate entries, and generate more hits for these articles. Thank you.- Gilliam ( talk) 06:57, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Although I can vaguely understand the desire to document every cricketer who has ever taken the field in a first class cricket match, ever, when you have "Smith" unknown birth/death dates, I can't see how any sort of retrospective historical research can turn this out from a WP:PERMASTUB? At least with a full name you can do some genealogy research and work out BMDs. Surely in that case, and you feel the need to document such information, it's better to have a list of some description containing all of that information rather than a WP:PERMASTUB? (trying to be helpful). Barney the barney barney ( talk) 20:41, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello Jack, hope all it well! I've been told you might be the guy to ask about the Surrey Club which played first-class matches on and off in the mid 1850s. I've tried to find information online and in book references about the club, but I have met somewhat of a dead end! So what do you know about this club?! Howzat?Out!Out!Out! ( talk) 20:11, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
The Surrey Club Eleven, which played its first major match v MCC in 1846, comprised playing members of Surrey CCC together with any ground bowlers engaged at The Oval; in fact an organisation similar to MCC. The quality of the elevens fielded by the Club was adjusted to suit the opposition and the guide includes only matches v MCC.
The Surrey match versus Kent at The Oval in June 1846 marks the re-entry of the Surrey county team into major county cricket on a continuous basis. In the previous year, the old Montpelier Cricket Club of Walworth had paid Mr Houghton (can't find anything about this chap at present) to create a cricket ground at Kennington Oval and, later in 1845, Surrey County Cricket Club was formed with its headquarters at The Oval. The success of the new club was immediate and all Surrey eleven-a-side matches against "important" (sic) opposition from 1846 are included in the guide. The old Surrey side of the 18th century had continued to oppose England (i.e., All-England cricket teams) in the first decade of the new century and these matches are included in the guide. Surrey matches were very infrequent from 1811 to 1845 and the ACS only recognises those in which major players took part. Surrey's strength in some seasons lay in the the Epsom Cricket Club and Godalming Cricket Club teams.

Currently we cut off notability for players to have played in the World Cricket League at Division Five. At the time we decided this there were eight divisions of the WCL. As of the recent completion of Division 7, there are now only six divisions. So, would you have any objection to extending notability to cover six divisions? As you know my eventual aim is that all players to have played official internationals should be considered notable, but extending it to WCL 6 so that all current WCL divisions are notable would be a step in the right direction!

Hi there - hope you're doing okay. I'm currently reworking (for the umpteenth time, I know...) my First-class players lists pages, basically turning all 26 pages into one set of collapsible lists on one page...
This will mean that I can finally get rid of 26 of my subpages - that *is* pushing it, after all. I'm not sure if there is an upper limit to the "group" number, but I've just gone tested up to 30 with ease, and it means I can finally put all these long lists in one easily accessible place. It will also mean that there will be a couple of links (I'm thinking primarily on the WikiProject Report) that become redlinks.
As long as both of us know, I know I can trust at least one of us! Can you see the collapsible tables as I intend them to be? I will certainly make it obvious which collapsible list refers to which teams, in the long run.
All the best. :) Bobo . 04:16, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
I noticed you are back working on Trueman's article again. Have you seen the latest biography by Chris Waters? It's actually rather good, and quite warts 'n' all. Worth a read if you get the chance, although I suspect there is little in it that has not been said elsewhere. Sarastro1 ( talk) 19:59, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
Point taken about the single source! But there are plenty of others, but I have to plough through Swanton's hagiography first to establish the bones. There's a lot more to come, although I confess to being already heartily sick of Allen. Sarastro1 ( talk) 19:09, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
Bonjour! After two long spells away from the site for one confusing reason after another... I've finally consolidated all of my First-class players lists into three lists:
Could you please check that these lists are uncollapsible (don't worry about checking *every* list, obviously! Not even I have enough time on my hands for that!) Just one more job to do, adding all the category links, and then all is complete. After that, I will be deleting my subpages and fixing the links on WT:CRIC. Bobo . 04:05, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Cheers. I bet they don't work on older browsers (I haven't even tried them on Safari and IE yet), even though I keep up-to-date versions of all five browsers for exactly this kind of purpose. At this present moment I'm re-organizing my user page to reflect the fact that I'm not around nearly as much as I should be these days. Having three subpages is infinitely preferable (at least 8.3~ times more preferable) than having 25. Bobo . 12:31, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Jack. I wasn't aware of that! I've gone by the four first-class fixtures you mentioned and which are mentioned on CA. Also, as there are plenty of players who played for England before Test cricket, do you think we should categorise them too? Perhaps Category:England (pre-1877) cricketers or England (pre-Test) cricketers? Hope all is well. Howzat?Out!Out!Out! ( talk) 14:08, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

In putting together my 1854 season redlinks, I've finally reached my first Test cricketer! I was wondering when that would happen. You can probably guess which one without even looking... bizarrely enough, he was the very last debutante of the 1854 English season!
Hope you've been enjoying today's cricketing action! Bobo . 20:15, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
