[edit] Morris etc

Had forgot to follow up on the century before lunch issue. I checked this with Johnlp and another person (whose response is in gmail which I cannot access from here) and it seems Perry's assertion that Morris was only the second batsman, after Bradman, to do it cannot be true for both interpretations of "century before lunch" (adding 100 to overnight score, or, start the innings in the morning and complete 100 before lunch). I'll get back to this after getting home in the evening.

The Macartney thing isn't that important but is a very good read. I read it in the anthology The Joy of Cricket. My copy is back at my parents' place, so can't access it at the moment. IIRC, it was taken from Fingleton's Masters of cricket. Tintin 06:50, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

To summarise from Johnlp and the other friend, Roy Minnett is apparently the first batsman to score a century before lunch in a Shield match. According to Wisden Book of Cricket Records (1986 ed), Minnett moved from c40* to c160*, and as per Charlie Wat's Australian First Class Cricket (1993), Minnett started of 65* and ended on 188*. So Morris appears to the third to do it (Bradman did it thrice in between) and not second. Tintin 01:29, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Distell

Hey Blnguyen, yesterday you added a sockpuppet tag on this user's page citing CU evidence that I haven't been able to find. I don't know the background, just stumbled on his vandalism (and blocked him for 24 hours — he wasn't already blocked from the sock evidence), but was wondering if you could follow up on this. Thanks! —bbatsell ¿? ✍ 02:49, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh yeah, Nadirali (talk · contribs) and I asked Dmcdevit for a private check. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Samuel Luo

It appears that Samuel may be back, this time as User:G43111. He has changed his modus operandi, and has put up his vandalised version five or six times already using this same user account. Please can you block him? Ohconfucius 02:36, 26 September 2007 (UTC) I was just about to ask this. --Asdfg12345 06:35, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In My Comfort Zone

No probs, I came across the article and saw the neutrality tag, so I was trying to make it a bit more balanced...load away, it needs a bit of punch. Look forward to reading it. Has it got something about Ian Chappell calling him selfish, boring and "seen one, seen 'em all"? Phanto282 08:01, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2007 Malaysian Grand Prix

Sorry for about the tenth time I've asked you about this article. After it faield FA about a month ago, I was wondering if you could make comments on the PR, which is located here. Many thanks in advance, Davnel03 16:41, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I should, shouldn't I?

[edit] Insertions of copyvio by Vietnamese editor

Hello, I've noticed that anon editor 96.229.179.106, who apparently is interested in Vietnam history articles, has repeatedly posted a copyvio in Talk:Vietnam in the Time of the Second World War (now deleted). Going by his last edits on that page, he might not have understood why his work kept getting deleted, hence his reposting.

Please consider leaving him a notice in Vietnamese telling him why he shouldn't post copyrighted text here. Thanks! Resurgent insurgent 00:30, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Yup. But he did it again....at Vietnam in the time of the Second World War (no caps). :( Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nadirali is back

Hi Blnguyen. Please take a look at this. The ISP of this anon user is the same as Nadirali's (Roger Cable Inc., Toronto). I've had no interaction with this "new" anonymous user, so there's no reason he should have written that to me anyway. I guess this calls for another ban reset. Regards, deeptrivia (talk) 01:58, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Yup and yep. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE:FA ratings

Thanks for letting me know that class/importance tages for articles need to be officially passed. I have placed an FA tag here without realizing and have no problem with you taking it off for official reasons. However, there was no reason for you to remove the whole WikiProject template here. Wiki Raja 04:32, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I should've looked to see that the template wasnt there to begin with. I assumed that it would just revert to the version with a template and no rating. :( Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LTTE article

Blnguyen, could you please take a look a the LTTE article. I gave some citations regarding certain issues, one from the Hindu newspaper and the other from a prominent SL(internationally recognised) historian who has done extensive research regarding our inscriptions and published various volumes of that subject. And these have been blatantly removed with a edit note saying your sources are fairy tales.ThanksIwazaki 会話。討論 03:55, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Also, this User:Wiki Raja has no edits other than blatant reverts in the article .Not only that he has no edit even in the talk page ,has done absolutely nothing constructive to the article. He is just purely acting as a reverting machine or probably 3RRR evading account in most of the SL related articles just like the LTTE article..This is getting absolutely out of control and I hope wikipedia will take necessary actions regarding this. Thanks again.Iwazaki 会話。討論 04:00, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, well the article is locked again. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Church

Thanks for the shiny thing. Very proud to know that my/TRM's efforts are statistically, objectively wonderful. I think the cricket WikiProject as a whole deserves credit for it - there was considerable input from a bunch of the guys at PR, FAC and copyedit stages --Dweller 08:08, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

I noticed you just updated the DYK on the main page. I just made some corrections to the hooks on Next Update at the same time. Could you use the amended version as there are a couple of errors in the hooks as they stand.

Thanks. --- RockMFR 05:09, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sreesanth

Sreesanth is a Hindu (Nair); afaik, he hasn't converted and that is the end of the matter. It is quite common in Kerala for people of one relegion to use the expressions and symbols of another. If the writers from abroad and the rest of India are basing their guesses on the Sreesanth's habit of crossing himself, they don't know what they are talking about !

[edit] Official Invitation to GA Sweeps

I would like to invite you to participate at GA Sweeps. We decided it's time to give GA a good sweep to ensure the qualities of all GA articles. You recevied this invitation because we felt that you can improve and uphold the quality of Good articles. This is the reason why only experienced reviewers who are established (trusted) within the project should participate in this sweep initially.

Please take a look at the project page and see if you wish to participate in the Sweeps. OhanaUnitedTalk page 15:40, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Dietrich v The Queen

Howdy Bainer. Is there any chance that more inline refs could be added to this article? There are some paragraphs with no inline refs at all. I did a survey of Australian FAs at User:Blnguyen/AusFA and I some articles would be better off being improved now rather than face the hassle of an FAR down the track. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:37, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I have a take-home exam this weekend but after that I'll have some time to work on this. I haven't done anything on that article in quite a while actually; really not since I first added it back in June 05! It certainly needs some footnote love :) --bainer (talk) 08:23, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aussie FA reffing

Sure, I'll start on those two in a moment. The New South Wales articles aren't too good either... New South Wales has some of the best colleges and universities (I think so, anyway) and a Education in New South Wales article doesn't even exist! :| ~ Sebi [talk] 02:50, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Getting a review instantly isn't a thing that happens at Peer review, and this article will most likely get a bit more attention than some other articles I have worked on in the past. The article doesn't desperately require a peer review, but it would be good to get a comment or two whenever someone drops by, if you know what I'm saying. ~ Sebi [talk] 03:18, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FL Main page proposal

You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination recently. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1, 2007, voting starting December 1, 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1, 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual content will resemble the current content at the featured content page. Such output would probably start at the bottom of the main page. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:11, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] web citation issues

Sir, I am in the process of converting web citations (which some users are harping about) into book citations. I have cleaned up the History/Literature portion of Chalukya dynasty and Rashtrakuta Dynasty and removed "www.OurKarnataka.com" citations as sufficient book citations already exist to attest to a particualr popular view. However web citations from Dr. Jyotsna Kamat's web page will remain because she is a renouned historian in Karnataka. I have left the "ourKarnataka.com" web citations remain in non-controversial sections like "Architecture", where the origin or language of an Empire does not arise. Just wanted you to be aware of this development.ThanksDineshkannambadi 02:29, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Just did a couple of minor edits to the article, I think its more practical than typing out a list of stuff when I can do it myself. General comment: article is good, but I think too many peacock type anecdotes. It is interesting that for all Macartney's bluster, he suffered from depression and missed the 24-25 series; things have changed a bit; compare this situation with Trescothick. I will support the nomination down the track when a bit more work has been done. Phanto282 02:42, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Darren Heitner DYK

Re your post on my talk page:"Where do you get all these amazingly obscure and offbeat stuff from?"[1] I've been getting my ideas from articles listed at AfD. For example, I closed the Darren Heitner AfD as keep because it obviously met Wikipedia policy standards, but just lacked the sources in the article. The original article focused on his agent career, but the reliable sources only covered his early life. Rather than try to force a topic to meet some sort of pre conceived notion of what should be in the article, I take time to search out all information on the topic. I then add the usable information from each source to the Wikipedia article chronologically. In this way, I let the reliable sources tell the story and this leads to amazingly obscure and offbeat information. My close of the AfD#1 caused a tiff, and now the Darren Heitner article is at AfD #2. I found Dammit, Janet! (now at DYK suggestions and at AfD#2) while closing Rocky Horror songs AfD. I'm not sure what is going on at AfD as there seem to be many listings that should not be there. However, I think it important to at least protect the DYK articles. In view of my recent experiences and my ongoing review of DYK history, I posted DYK deletion sorting. -- Jreferee t/c 17:00, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] merging pages physical phenomena and phenomena

Hello,

The pages physical phenomena and phenomena cover the same topic (phenomena has two definitions the physical one being the first and the philosophical being the latter). I would merge them, however when I brought up the issue on the WP:PHYSICS talk page a user began making unsound arguments and threatening to initiate an edit war if I merged the articles.

I believe the user's misunderstanding lies in the fact that he/she does not understand that there are two used of the word, or- well I don't know because he/she won't respond to my responses but instead goes off on a tangent. I am asking your opinion on the matter because you are both an administrator and a WP:PHYSICS member. Is there any way you can find to resolve this dispute (hopefully peacefully)? I really appreciate your help. Thanks, Beast of traal T C _ 23:48, 9 October 2007 (UTC)Beast of traal

I believe the issue may be resolved. Thanks anyway. Beast of traal T C _ 00:00, 10 October 2007 (UTC)Beast of traal

I'm sorry, but the user continues to resist the merge (see User_talk:Blnguyen#merging_pages_physical_phenomena_and_phenomena). Could you help? Thanks, Beast of traal T C _ 11:41, 10 October 2007 (UTC)Beast of traal
Both pages point to the same place. So are the pages merged? Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:07, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

They are now, or at least I think they are. They were merged around Oct. 10th. Thanks, Beast of traal T C _ 20:48, 29 October 2007 (UTC)Beast of traal

[edit] Re:NapoleonQuang

Blnguyen, my friend, I noticed that you deleted "Vietnam in the time of the Second World War" as a copyvio. That was a good call. I noticed that the person that posted the article has a copy on his talk page, which may be considered a copyright violation. Here take a look: User talk:NapoleonQuang.

I suspect he's the same person as 96.229.179.106 and 66.53.218.105. This/these user(s) has/have a history of making often nationalistic edits without citing source, and ignore requests for discussion. He then later feigns ignorance. DHN 04:25, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I think the banned user NapoleonQuang is back under a new name: JacquesNguyen. He's been making improper moves of pages by copying the old contents and pasting it onto the new articles, making them lose their history. Keep an eye on him. DHN 09:13, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
Okey... Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:07, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pacific Solution page protection

Hello Blnguyen. I request a review of the page protection at Pacific Solution. It has been protected for some days due to edit wars. Surely those involved have had enough time to cool down by now. Thanks, Lester 02:19, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] error?

Morning. Its says "...that the rent control program in New York State America's longest-running?" on the main page ... is there a word missing? Oh and thanks for anytime I forgot to thank you for your work! Doing well! Victuallers 08:17, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
