Hi stephen! Sorry about the Gopal Bose article. My data was totally fried. Anyway I wanted to ask if we can use statistics from cricinfo, why cant we use their articles & cite them like we do for the stats? I mean sure it will be great if someone writes a new article but till then cant we keep the cricinfo one? Srikeit 17:59, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
"This Greg Chappell article is under attack. First some IP address writes about how chappell playing politics helped kick ganguly off the team & now some other IP address writes about how much chappell earns without any citation. I seriously doubt the authenticity of that info. Can you please check it out."

Sorry about the Images. I did not know about the fair use clause. Anyway what kind of permission should I get to publish these images on Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Srikeit ( talk • contribs)
I note you reverted a mention of Marcus Trescothick's return home from India on the grounds that it wasn't really that significant in terms of his whole career. I'm mildly surprised, having visited the article specifically to see how this issue had been covered, but as it's still an ongoing thing I can understand it, and I have no intention of editing it back in.
My question to you, though, is at what point you think it would be sensible to include it. Clearly if Trescothick never gets back into the England team and his international career ends because of this, that would be notable enough for a mention - but let's say he's back playing Tests in the summer. Personally I'm inclined to feel that a vice-captain's absence from an entire major tour - for any reason - is quite notable in itself; where do you think the line should be drawn?

Stephen, Have you had a change of heart on this yet? I know that you'd make an excellent admin and would be happy to nominate you. -- Ian ≡ talk 01:26, 15 March 2006 (UTC)he is very approacha
Hi,
You contributed to a previous debate about date links. You may wish to see the proposal at: Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#linking_of_dates. Thanks. bobblewik 08:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Stephen, I was looking at India collaboration of the week when I found the tiny link to WCOTF. I did'nt even know it existed! Anyway now seems like a good time to revive that (heaven knows some of our cricket articles need to become FA). We now have many new users who look like good contributers. So what do you think about it?

I have removed the contentious line from the achievement list and moved it into the description part, with added remarks. I presume that the NPOV issue is settled (for the golden arm point) More details in the Articles' talk page
Tell about the other issues in Cricket and we can sort one by one
And if you find me done something wrong, do correct me immediately Doctor Bruno 21:04, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Stephen! I just completed 500 edits in Wikipedia. I owe it all to guys like you who have helped me & kept me motivated enough to reach this target. I would like to award you this Wikicookie.
Thanks

Hi Stephen, I'm not sure how difficult it would be but is it possible for the bot to update the current player infoboxes after they played a match. I am no techno expert and I have a feeling it may be too hard for a bot to collect data from Cricinfo and then update the statistics on the cricketers' articles. Please tell me it is possible or not.

Since you reverted my edit (actually a two-minute copy-paste job from an earlier version of the article), why don't you rephrase the first paragraph so it does the subject a little more justice? We are talking about the man with more Test hundreds and more ODI hundreds than anyone else ever, so I don't think statements of a negative tenor should appear in the opening paragraph. Lists are often made by people who have never played the game, and I don't see why Bradman's quote should be removed in favour of some Anglocentric ritual. 141.153.150.63 14:24, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
It's a bit long for a stub. Is there an awful lot more that needs to be said? -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 13:13, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for updating List of ODI cricketers, List of Test cricketers, etc. I had added "see also" to List of women cricketers, which your update has unfortunately wiped out, although it was kept in the update of List of cricketers. Given that we don't have separate lists for the women yet, I've added the links back because I think they are helpful. ISTR that the updates were being done by a bot - does it need to be amended to keep the link? -- ALoan (Talk) 18:25, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Stephen, Thanks for rewriting the Will Jefferson article. It looks much better now. One note though, the link to Richard Jefferson, his father, went to a different Richard Jefferson; so I have changed this and set up an article on Richard Ingleby Jefferson. This may need someone to do a bit of tweaking as well! Regards, Rrsmac.
I didn't actually create it originally, Rrsmac did. I'll copy the notice to his page. Stephen Turner ( Talk) 19:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
O.K., I won't contest that - but I've always understood that full stops are uniformly used for all abbreviations (I would, for instance, write "Dr."). I may well be wrong about this though Sikandarji 10:29, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Stephen, Thank you for the barnstar! I must say that it is my best barnstar so far as it is from the person who helped me a lot when I was a newbie. Thanks again & see you around.

Can you please comment on Talk:Hashim_Amla. IMO, it is better to replace the article with a one or two line stub. Tintin ( talk) 17:44, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
