[edit] My forthcoming contribution...

Yeah, Tintin, based on our findings over on Usenet, I'm putting together a reconstruction of the 1882 Ashes match. Watch this space...--Robertson-Glasgow 11:16, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grace & Spofforth

WG made also sorts of financial demands when he toured Australia and made himself very unpopular there. I remember reading about that somewhere but I don't personally own any books about WG so I can't check it out. You would be best to ask for help on [1]. All the best. --BlackJack | talk page 19:22, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Cheers, mate, Robertson-Glasgow 11:15, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your user page

Hello again. I noticed that your signature shows up as a red link. I don't know if you are aware but you can create a user page in which you may add info about yourself or the articles you are working on or links to useful features in Wikipedia. There is plenty of help and advice available if you want to set up a user page but it isn't obligatory. Best wishes. --BlackJack | talk page 09:30, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll get around to that when I need something to do. Cheers, Robertson-Glasgow 11:14, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Richard Cashman's Spofforth Biography

Yes I do (I was coincidentally having a browse of it again a couple of days ago). I'll get it out tonight. Regards — Moondyne 01:11, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, mate. I wait with bated breath. Cheers, Robertson-Glasgow 07:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi R-G. Sorry for the delay but I've got it now (I had a small family crisis last night and with all the commotion I confess it slipped my mind!). If you could email me - use the "E-mail this user" button on the left (on my user page), I'll reply by email with a .pdf attachment. It'll be a scan of the whole chapter on the 1882 tour (~10 pages). It's about 9pm here now so it won't be until tomorrow morning Perth time (ie. in 12 hours). Regards. — Moondyne 12:53, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Its on its way! — Moondyne 01:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Cashman should have an article too ! Tintin (talk) 07:33, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I think that I could help with that. There's a fair amount of biographical information about him on the web. Cheers, Robertson-Glasgow 07:37, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Agree. Cashman's got a fair body of work now and he does make a good read. Remember to quote some reviews of his work by others so he meets notability criteria - see WP:BIO. — Moondyne 13:02, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
