Hi Speedboy,

If you mean Star Tugs Pier, there's a good reason for that - it's closed and migrated to Sodor Island Forums [1] ;) Thehalford 06:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Right handed batsman / Right hand bat

Hello. Why are you changing this in so many articles? I can't see anything wrong with "Right-handed batsman", and there isn't an established consensus. You might be interested in my question at WikiProject Cricket, which would probably be a better place for you to put your case than on my (or your) personal Talk page. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. No need to apologise, though - it's not as if "right hand bat" is wrong - but judging by the replies so far on the WikiProject Cricket Talk page, "right-handed batsman" looks like the preferred style. As far as bowling styles are concerned, I think the example change you gave ("off spin" -> "right arm off-break") is a good one, and I'd certainly support you continuing with that.

You've changed "Left-handed batsman" to "Left-hand bat" again. Why? Loganberry (Talk) 00:35, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I can't say it bothers me too much, and I appreciate that Cricinfo uses "bat", but my point is that there seems little reason to change an existing article. I won't change it the other way either, unless there's some WikiProject consensus - and when I asked on WP:C Talk a few weeks ago, "batsman" did seem to have more support than "bat".
And yes, a very satisfactory result. Especially a certain bit of fielding on the boundary! Loganberry (Talk) 01:36, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
