[edit] Wesley Clark awards
Really? Huh, I'll go change the main article as well then. Thanks! Staxringold talkcontribs 16:12, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Editor review
I did an editor review. I assume you know how to find it. YechielMan 04:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A Good Quiz Question
I was looking at the scorecard at Cricketarchive of the 1909 Philadelphia v Ireland match (following the link from the King article), and was surprised to see the name of HV Hordern in the Philadelphia eleven. Hordern played Test cricket for Australia, so the quiz question would be: "Which Test cricketer played for Philadelphia?" His profile on Cricinfo revealed that in 1907 (and the following years?) he was studying in Pennsylvania, as part of his training as a doctor, which presumably explains how he came to be playing for the Philadelphians. It would make a good DYK, but the Wiki article on Hordern would need to be expanded first. JH (talk page) 20:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- I've now expanded the article. I had the idea of perhaps submitting it for DYK myself, but having now seen the requirements for an article to be a valid DYK article I've dropped the idea. (But by all means go ahead yourself if you'd like to.) JH (talk page) 21:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
-
- I have seen it now :) It would be OK for DYK if you can add another paragraph or two. Is there nothing more in Cricinfo or CricketArchive? -- ALoan (Talk) 21:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
When a conversation becomes three or four way, it becomes hard to know where to respond. I've done so on Tintin's talk page. JH (talk page) 18:43, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- I've now proposed it for DYK. Thanks for your help. JH (talk page) 20:25, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

- And it's appeared today. :) JH (talk page) 18:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] John Lester
Glad to be of help. Feel free to change or copyedit anything that I add because the quality of my English prose isn't exactly "compelling, even brilliant" :-) Tintin 04:02, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Longevity
Have you noticed how remarkably long-lived the most famous Philadelphian cricketers tended to be?
- Lester 98
- Clark 92
- King 91
- Morris 88
They must have been doing something right! JH (talk page) 22:00, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
- Morris is recorded as playing a game at the age of 69, so he must have been very fit! Andrew nixon 22:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

- In case you are wondering where it has gone, your DYK article was included in an update earlier today, but I replaced it with another entry to avoid all of them being US-related. It should appear in the next update at about 6 hours after the message above. -- ALoan (Talk) 15:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Natl1's RFA
[edit] Philadelphian Cricket Team
I don't know if there's a problem with the reflist template, but I can only see the first item in the Notes section. I think the categories box is possibly superimposed over the remainder. This may be related to the fact that I use 800x600 screen resolution, because I'm short-sighted. Would you be willing to replace the template by <references/> - which hopefully would be equivalent but without the glitch? JH (talk page) 21:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. I evidently jumped to a wrong conclusion. Just as well I didn't report it as a bug on the template's Talk page! JH (talk page) 21:27, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
BTW, the article H. D. G. Leveson-Gower has a Philadelphian cricket connection mentioned which might amuse you. JH (talk page) 18:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Rather reminds me of the 'Great Chatham with his sabre drawn' poem. Hardly a surprise but HDG is an agnatic descendant of the Earls Gower. Alci12 15:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Nice work on the article. I've done a bit of minor copy-editing. JH (talk page) 19:03, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] US Cricket Sandbox
I've just made a slight edit on the US cricket sandbox. Whilst the games in 1913 were the last in the USA until 2004, games were played on US soil in the interim, in the US Virgin Islands which are part of the West Indies for cricket purposes. Don't get me started on which national side players born there are eligible for! Andrew nixon 08:28, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- The eligibility for players born in the USVI is a thorny one. The way I read the rules, they'd be eligible for both the West Indies and the USA, but it seems strange that you could be eligible by birth for two different national teams! The same problem applies to St Maarten and the Netherlands. Andrew nixon 14:17, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] John Lester
I passed the GA, but there is one glaring issue that needs addressing. It's on the article's talk page. Since it's very easy to fix and should only take a second I passed it. Please address it however, as I said it should only take a second. Quadzilla99 12:10, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- Perfect, like I said it was an easy fix. Nice work on the article. Quadzilla99 14:12, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] George Patterson
I looked over George Patterson as well. Rather than put it on hold I figured I'd ask you a couple of questions because the issues I have might not be addressable. I assume because he played so long ago it would be very hard to find any info about his early life, is that correct? Even if you could only find enough to write 2-3 sentences such as "George Patterson was born to Ethel and James Patterson, middle class owners of a [x] business in city, state" (or whatever). If you can't find info then it's a non-actionable objection so don't worry. This sentence could be polished: "In America Patterson played many big innings." See here, if it's not possible to use an exact number then just use more formal language or quote someone. Quadzilla99 06:40, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- To be clear I didn't review Patterson yet. I was hoping you could get some info on his early life (maybe his personal life as well). I was just asking you if that was possible because if it isn't I'm leaning toward passing it. Quadzilla99 08:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] in re Lawrence Dalton
Hi. Unless I'm mistaken you nominated Laurence Dalton for DYK and were responsible for the wording now appearing there. I'm curious to know why the incredibly specific claim that Dalton was embezzling tabards found its way into the DYK blurb without being mentioned anywhere in the present article or any of its past historical revisions. This is a little backwards, no? (To be perfectly frank, too, I'm rather skeptical regarding this point, too -- surely one doesn't "embezzle" a physical thing like a tabard, one "steals" it; and if some source says (like the article does) that he was planning to "embezzle from the Great Wardrobe" surely the most logical construction we can put upon this is that he was planning to embezzle money from what today we'd call the budget of that office.) Thanks very much, Doops | talk 22:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Evadb, I've turned the entry into a comment for now. When this matter is cleared please do find an admin to re-add it, but this is just to shaky for me right now.--Carabinieri 22:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thomas Benolt
I wasn't sure about the sentence which tailed off "...when he was..." so I added "there" as a guess (it was that or chop it out completely), but you may want to fix it if it is wrong. I guess you got distracted halfway through typing, I'm always doing that. Cheers, Yomanganitalk 14:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Philadelphian tours
From your /philly: "The following is a list of tours played overseas by the Philadelphians. These all included first-class matches..." A search on the CricketArchive site didn't throw up any f-c matches for the 1884 and 1889 tours of England. I searched on team names including "Philadelphia" (which would also pick up "Philadelphians", "Gentlemen of Philadelphia", etc), for years from 1880 to 1890 and with results limited to f-c matches. Of course, it's possible that the matches were played but that CricketArchive hasn't yet got around to adding them, though the site seems to have pretty comprehensive coverage.

[edit] A couple of links
I was listening to a cricket commentary on the radio and the story was told that founding father John Adams said he supported the title of 'President' for the nation's leader because if it was good enough for a cricket club it was good enough for a country. Is that true? I came across a few links, you've probably seen them but they might be of interest. Nick mallory 11:32, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
http://www.haverford.edu/library/cricket/CCM002.HTM
http://newscafe.ansci.usu.edu/archive/sept2001/0917_uscricket.html
There's a link to an article in the Atlantic which you might be able to get hold of.
Also this library, but i'm sure you know all about this http://www.haverford.edu/library/cricket/site_update/famous_CCMorris.htm
- You can search the contents of lots of books at Amazon.com; if you pull up the McCullough book about Adams, search for "cricket" and "President," it says p. 389 (for some reason the excerpt shown has it on p. 405.): "... There were presidents of fire companies and cricket clubs, Adams observed. A committee appointed to consider the issue reported back with the suggested title "His Highness the President ..."

[edit] Image:Våbenskjold Rosenborg.jpg
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. The old Dano-Norwegian arms was rather complicated, but beautiful. Interestingly, the Norwegian lion's blade is incorrectly coloured, it should have been silver. The image isn't completely aligned, since I almost tripped over a red cordon. :) When I get more time, I hope to to upload some examples of arms used by the Danish nobility. Danish heraldist Harald Storck made more than 1,500 black-and-white drawings and he died back in 1922. I've checked out a book with reproductions of his drawings so if you need the arms of a Danish noble family, by all means drop me a note. Valentinian T / C 22:38, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bart King FAC
Hi Evadb and well done on this superbly crafted piece of work. Unfortunately I was not around to help the cause, but I have 180k of cricket article expansions on my hard drive to compensate :). Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Heraldist Cat
In response to the message you left at User talk:81.129.16.106, I know it may seem at first sight to be tautological, but the category "heraldists" really does need to include officers of arms if the list is to be complete and useful to anyone searching for heraldists. (The next question is whether all officers of arms are necessarily heraldists.) 81.129.17.146 09:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Scandinavian heraldry
Hi Evadb. Since you liked the other image, you might find this one interesting. I don't think it is much known outside of Scandinavia. Cheers. Valentinian T / C 13:33, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sausenburg
Hello Evadb,
I had answered on the german Wiki-side "Sausenburg" [1]about your request about an english translation. Best regards --89.14.31.93 10:27, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Hello Evabd,
- the side about the "Sausenburg" in this Wiki is became super!! --89.14.13.41 09:19, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Bad-Bellingen-Wappen.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Bad-Bellingen-Wappen.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aksibot 19:29, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cricket in the USA
This article doesn't look to be in a good shape, I was looking to update about cricket being recognized as a varsity sport in New York but looking at the article, we need to clean it up a bit 1st. Is there any other article that it should be added in? Anyways, can you help me clean up the article?--THUGCHILDz 16:09, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well I still think we should have an article on it even though we need to clear it out because I don't think it's appropriate to put current things into the history article.--THUGCHILDz 02:47, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] John Adams on Cricket
"In the Senate, the issue of titles, and particularly the question of how the President was to be addressed, superceded all other business.... When Senator Ellsworth observed how very ordinary the mere appellation of President sounded, Adams immediately concurred from the Chair. There were presidents of fire companies and cricket clubs, Adams observed. A committee appointed to consider the issue reported back with the suggested title 'His Highness the President of the United States of America and Protector of the Rights of the Same.' But it was Adams who took the lead in advocating titles." -David McCullough, John Adams, p. 405
I saw your query on the talk page a while ago, and just recently got to this point in the book. I hope you can use it; if you would like more info, let me know. –Sarregouset (Talk) 00:37, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bart King
I was just looking through my talk page and I realised that you asked me whether I could do one of my graphs for Bart King over a month ago. I'm sorry it's taken so long, but university has kept me extremely busy and I've had to almost totally stop editing altogether. This week is the final week of semester though, so I will be able to have the graph on Saturday or Sunday. Raven4x4x 11:48, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The BossHoss
Articles about musicians (including musical groups) are considered to be under the scope of WPP:BIO. There are differences in how the article ends up getting written and formatted, but both are under the scope of WP:MUSICIAN, which is a subproject of WPP:BIO. ShadowHalo 14:31, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Guy Sainty
I have just today seen my bio on wikipedia and have made some changes to correct some points and add some. You asked a question what was meant by Associate Knight - until 1999 all members received in the Priory in the US or in the American Society which preceded it were received as associates because the priory was in a country which had not been a territory over which HM the Queen had ruled since the foundation of the Order (unlike the Priory of South Africa, founded when it was a colony). In 1999 the statutes of the Order were changed and all those admitted as associates became full members. Thank you also for resisting the changes by mr de Sousa who is (as you will have seen) involved with Poidimani, who has been arrested with his associates and charged with several crimes and who lost his case against me.--Guy Sainty 19:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] College of Dracology
Hi! I noticed you've recreated College of Dracology and just wanted to let you know that it's been tagged with {{notability}}. Cheers, Black Falcon (Talk) 01:27, 8 August 2007 (UTC) By the way, do you need the userfied version deleted?
[edit] College of Dracology
A {{prod}} template has been added to the article College of Dracology, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Circeus 21:57, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Robin Blair
Hi there, you recently undid a revision I had made to the Robin Blair article, where you changed honorary back to honourary.
I've checked my copy of The Chambers Dictionary (ISBN 0-550-14000-X, published in Edinburgh) and there doesn't seem to be a spelling of honourary anywhere in the world.
This link is to the Oxford University Press website. Cheers, umdrums 19:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the notice on hono(u)rary. I'm not British myself, but have many colleagues that spell it with the "u." I suppose I'll have to start correcting them. Thanks.--Eva bd 20:53, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- No problem, thanks for your reply! Honorary appears to have come to the English language straight from Latin, which is probably why it doesn't have the u that shows honour’s route via French. umdrums 22:53, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:AHS Arms by Denis Towner (JPG).jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:AHS Arms by Denis Towner (JPG).jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. effeietsanders 20:49, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:JamaicaCrownCopyright
An editor (not me) has nominated Template:JamaicaCrownCopyright for deletion (see WP:TFD).
In February (which seems so long ago..) I asked you about it, and you replied very kindly. Now that I am on your talk page again, I would like to apologize for the construction of my previous question (diff) and thank you for your response (diff). I did not realize it when I wrote it, but my question was rather confrontational and thus incivil. You could have replied hastily and escalated a conflict, but instead your reply was very reasoned.
