[edit] I see you're home again

Nice tidy page for once! I thought you were away till tomorrow night but I see you've been very busy on here this afternoon so you're obviously home early. I tried phoning you just now. Hope you get sorted this week. By the way, I have offered to pick up a few of Einar's history articles though they will be high level only. --GeorgeWilliams 20:45, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Great to see you back again Jack. If there is a bit of a problem in the future, do feel free to contact an admin like myself. I'm happy to simply move any deleted bits and pieces into your userspace so you can prepare them in the meantime, since a non admin can't see deleted contents.

[edit] You

People like you are rare. You have done so much unsung (frequently misunderstood) work on Wikipedia. Your contributions are missed. Come back soon. Yours hypocritically (I'm on Wikibreak!) --Dweller 11:22, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good news!

Jack, the result of [1] was KEEP!

Common sense has finally prevailed.

Precedent set? --GeorgeWilliams 18:41, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks, Jack

I appreciate your reversions on the Indian tour page references. And I really do appreciate your viewpoint: I just don't happen to agree with all of it! On stubs and their minimum length, BTW, I suppose my long-term overall-aim position would be that every article should be long enough to cover all the relevant points, and that stubs would therefore be the equivalent of an intro or a summary paragraph, of the kind that one has at the top of main articles before diving off into the subheadings and the detail. That's obviously idealistic, but I do think any stub should cover the main gist of why the subject is noteworthy, and should include a few salient facts and perhaps some "see also" references that can be discarded once the article is expanded to include information from "real" references. Anyway, as you may have gathered, my particular beef at present is that there are too few people adding content and too many trying to organise and corral and nitpick. So I shall now go off and add some more content... somewhere. :) Johnlp 20:30, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yorkshire Players

Hi, thanks for your offer of help re Yorkshire Players. It'd be great if you could look at some of the ones I've done on the Yorkshire CCC players list (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Yorkshire_CCC_players) and make sure the format is ok. I kept putting 'Glamorgan' and 'Surrey' etc and they redirect to the page about the county, rather than the county cricket team, so I'll have to go back and sort those out myself. If you know of any little titbits of information to flesh things out that would make it more interesting too. I'm also a bit confused about John Brown senior and junior in that list, as cricket archive and cricinfo don't seem to square. Maybe it was just too late when I looked. If you could do them it would avoid me making any schoolboy errors. Thanks. Nick mallory 00:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC) Nick Mallory
