[edit] Sachin Tendulkar

Hi. You may well get help from the cricket WikiProject, but as you'll see from their talk page, the members are working hard on a collaborative project to make The Invincibles a Featured Topic. --Dweller (talk) 10:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I was wondering if someone can update Sachin's Stats on that page. As it stands now someone has blocked the page and new users or unregistered users cannot do it. And no one else has fixed it too.71.236.190.42 (talk) 23:16, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] your comment

can you keep down the expressions of "personal disgust" please? If you are "disgusted" by attempts to keep discussions scholarly, perhaps you should reconsider whether Wikipedia is the right place for you. dab (𒁳) 09:47, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Indian cricket team in Australia in 2007-08, Second Test

Hi, I didn't rename the article but it does have the advantage of tying into the parent article Indian cricket team in Australia in 2007-08 very well. There is nothing stopping another rename at a later stage. Cheers, Mattinbgn\talk 00:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I was getting a little too geopolitical and thinking about relations between the two nations, not the two cricket teams. Sorry! -- Mattinbgn\talk 06:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I saw that last edit you did at 22:41, 9 January 2008 on this page. LBW's should always be out of contentious decisions unless there is an edge. How can you decide to keep Symonds (just because it was a hat-trick ball for Kumble)? Won't that question the neutrality of the Article - only contentious LBW decision on that article is an Australian? Ponting, is definitely a big time umpiring error for missing the inside edge.

I suspect the user "See Other Side" has logged off and doing the same edits anonymously on that page with the IP 67.101.41.25. Do you have connections to verify that? I saw someone reminding him of the Three Revert Rule, on his talk page. But if he is not logged on, he cannot be held responsible for it, right. DesiStrider (talk) 06:51, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Indian cricket team in Australia in 2007-08, Second Test - Scorecard

Hi, I just today noticed the impressive scorecard you have added to this article. It looks fab. Well done--Calabraxthis 14:22, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Comments by Peter Roebuck added by me are being reduced, edited or removed please help!

Peter Roebuck, former Somerset captain now a columnist in the Sydney Morning Herald, branded Ponting as "arrogant" and insists he must be stripped of the captaincy.[1]

"If Cricket Australia cares a fig for the tattered reputation of our national team in our national sport, it will not for a moment longer tolerate the sort of arrogant and abrasive conduct seen from the captain and his senior players."

"Australia itself has been embarrassed. The notion that Ponting can hereafter take the Australian team to India is preposterous.

"He has shown not the slightest interest in the well-being of the game, not the slightest sign of diplomatic skills, not a single mark of respect for his accomplished and widely admired opponents."

[1]

A poll on the Sydney Morning Herald's website revealed that 60% of the public agreed with Roebuck's call for Ponting to stand down.

However, that poll does not necessarily reflect opinion in Australia with anyone in the world being able to go online and vote.[1]

The Sydney Daily Telegraph also published a poll that revealed 83% of those who voted thought Ponting was not a good ambassador for the game.

There is support for Ponting among some quarters of the media with The Australian's Malcolm Conn suggesting that he is being unfairly targeted.[1]

The following content is important but user:Ansell keeps removing them. Even the Brad Hogg incident is being removed regularly! This is unfair representation of facts. What should I do?59.182.64.94 (talk) 16:07, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Religious violence

The sentence "Over the last decade, religious violence in India has increasingly become organized pogroms to eliminate minority communities, be it against Hindus in Kashmir and the North-East, Christians in the North-West, or Muslims in Gujarat" is problematic.

  • You cannot bound the violence in a particular geographical location. "be it against Hindus in Kashmir and the North-East" yes it is true that the typical systematic anti-Hindu violence happens in these area, but these are carried out by terrorist outfits. The violence do not come from the civilians, but from terrorist organizations with religious motivation. There are other isolated incidents, like terrorism, which occurs disparsely all over India.
  • "Christians in the North-West" this is also misleading, as anti-Christian violence is not bound in " North-West". This is present in Kerala, Orissa etc.
  • "Muslims in Gujarat" this is also problematic, yes 2002 Gujarat violence is a large scale violence imapcting internationally, but anti-Muslim violecne is present all over India.

The title "Christian militancy against North-Eastern Hindus" is problematic. The violence is not committed against Hindus only, but against Buddhists also. So the title "Christian militancy in North-East India" is better. And in North-East India, most of the violence is committed by NLFT, and NLFT is not North-East India. You also added two incidents "In 2000, Labh Kumar Jamatia, a leading Hindu religious leader, was abducted and found dead.[68] " and "Later in 2000, Shanti Tripura, a Hindu spiritual leader, was killed by the NLFT while in a temple.[71]" But the article should not become list of incidents. Thease are two isolated incidents and should be removed. It is good to note the number of incidents like "X number of violence has been reported", but it is not right to mention each and every incident. I have made the relevant changes. Thanks.

Graham Staines incident is notable, your incidents are not. You cannot compare Graham Staines incident with your incidents. You have to look at the notability. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 07:11, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for appreciating my efforts and giving me the honour. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 22:26, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Indian cricket team

Hi there Darrowen. Since you brought it up previously. I went to the cricket nets and took photos of the Indians. There's a little poll on my user talk at the moment to see which attempted shots turned out the best and are the most appropriate for teh article.
