Premier Trophy (Sri Lanka)
Hi mate. Just thought I would let you know that I have started work on creating a page for the 2018–19 Premier League Tournament Tier B. I notice that you worked on Tier A but not Tier B, which is the equivalent of Division Two of the County Championship. I have done the intro, table and first round of fixtures and will gradually do more matches, but please feel free to chip in if you can! Once done, I will start on the current season (again feel free to help). Can also make adjustments to other pages that can link to these. I wonder if the existing season's articles should be moved to, for example, Premier Trophy 2018–19 Premier Trophy Tournament Tier A? Bs1jac (talk) 18:33, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hi! Superb - I've stayed away from the Tier B matches for a while, despite them being first-class! I will help out with these. I'll have a think about the possible renaming of the Tier A too. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 18:38, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah I figured, but thought I would take the plunge and get started given that they are first class and there is promotion/relegation. Cheers! Bs1jac (talk) 18:46, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Bs1jac: - I've gone through the red-links for debuts, etc, and created them for players who have basic details (dates of birth + full names). This includes those who top-scored or took the most wickets in an innings, but didn't already have an article. Some of them had played more than 50 FC matches too! Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 10:56, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
- Excellent, I was hoping you might do that, hence why I left the red-links! I will go through removing red-links from the players that are not getting pages due to lack of info. I have also created a page for the 2017–18 season with just the intro and table for now, and later will do the same for any other seasons covered in Cricinfo (at least one more; perhaps before that there was no Tier B or it didn't have first-class status). Then we should really get the 2019–20 season going. Bs1jac (talk) 10:59, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hi mate. I have done some more work on 2019–20 Premier League Tournament Tier B. Similar to Malith de Silva, I have identified a problem with Sanjaya Ranaweera that I hope you can help with. A player by this name (born in 1986) made his FC debut in round 7. Looking him up in Cricinfo, he has played this single FC match plus 7 T20s. The player with a Wiki page is a different person (born 1981 and with different initials), who has only played a single List A match, no FC or T20. The T20 debut mentioned on Sanjaya Ranaweera should actually be for other player. Would you mind creating the second player, a dab page, and tidying the info for both players? Thanks!! Bs1jac (talk) 21:03, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Bs1jac: - Morning! Yep, leave it with me - I'll sort it out. Any others like this you might spot, just drop me a note. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 06:37, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
- I think we've sorted that between us! Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 09:25, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

- Hi, I have finished another season for Tier B 2017–18 Premier League Tournament Tier B. I might do one more eventually (then before that it isn't in Cricinfo at least for a couple of years). For this one I have created pages for a few players with redlinks and removed the links for a couple of players that have no date of birth or full name in Cricinfo. Would you mind creating the few remainders? I have also added a ref for first-class debuts to some existing players but there will be more if you want to bother with those! Bs1jac (talk) 16:26, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Duplicate player
Hi again. Hoping you can help with this one. I found two players who have two pages, with slightly different spellings. They both point to the same player on Cricinfo. Sachin Jayawardena is correct, Sachin Jayawardene is wrong. Partially my fault as I miss-typed on the Tier B page and you used the red link to create the player page. Would you mind redirecting to the correctly spelled article? Bs1jac (talk) 20:20, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hi. Done - that was straight-forward enough! Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 06:43, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
Am I correct in assuming that you removed the "International Centuries" section from this article because it was not in the same format as/a format similar to those in other articles such as Charlotte Edwards and Meg Lanning? Or is there another reason? Bahnfrend (talk) 12:27, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hi. Not quite. Per WP:CRIC#STYLE - "swathes of numbers or lists of awards, empty of content or context, are not appropriate for Wikipedia, and that where sections for achievements/awards are included, they should be more than just a basic list." Similar lists for male cricketers have been removed. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 16:11, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
- Sorry about the slow reply. Another editor has reinstated the section and list. The subject of the article is captain of her national team, and has scored six international centuries for that team. Although I accept that one century might not be enough to justify adding a list to an article about a player, what would you say is the minimum number, bearing in mind that women cricketers play fewer matches than men, especially Test matches (only one every second year worldwide, and Ellyse Perry scored a century in each of the last two). Also, what about Heather Knight, for example? I believe she is the only woman cricketer to have scored at least one century in all three international formats. Bahnfrend (talk) 13:35, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
- Maybe a bit of prose and a link to the women's century list would work better. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 11:23, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
Please, do not attempt to "own" the article Lu Mei and let other editors decide what to include as well, not only yourself
Considering your edits on the article Lu Mei, and the fact that you usually delete others' editions on that page, I invite you to read Wikipedia:Ownership of content, where it is stated that "All Wikipedia content—articles, categories, templates, and other types of pages—is edited collaboratively. No one, no matter how skilled, or how standing in the community, has the right to act as though they are the owner of a particular page". You rapidly writing and threatening on other editor's talk pages as soon as they include editions you dislike is another sign of attempting to own the article. You can't decied by yourself what the article includes, so I invite you to stop edit warring other's editions, you are the only one deleting them and a single person cannot decide what to include int he article. James343e (talk) 16:44, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
- @James343e: It's not ownership, it's reverting an un-needed detail. It's a stub of one line that states the word "woman" TWICE. Who is confused that the subject is infact a woman? Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 16:46, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
- I take it from the silence it was you, and you alone, who was confused. "You rapidly writing and threatening on other editor's talk pages" How is this threatening? Maybe you should wind your neck in and WP:AGF. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 17:12, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
Re: Refn
The refn template was one I found a long time back – from 2012, by the looks of it! – when the cycling teams were getting season articles. Very similar to what was on that cricket page, I had started with the particular format (ref group, note N) – but was coming into no end of problems when trying to stick a reference in. Was a bit of fluke coming across the refn template, but I have relied on it, and to some extent the efn template for a notelist, ever since. Anything to save a byte or a few!
Hope all's good with you too – looks like it's going to be a quieter sporting year of attendance for me this year; especially when there's pretty much going to be no major road cycling events in the UK this year. Normally would have had a few rounds of the Tour Series, and probably a day at the Tour de Yorkshire in the books by now. Who knows what the future holds, especially with the latter. Craig(talk) 15:47, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
- I've used the refn template in the past, but never thought of the idea of grouping together the same note together on the international cricket page. I've even used it with a ref in the template, if you still have problems with doing that. Took a lot of previews and sandbox edits before I figured it out!
- Yes, all good here thanks. Keeping one eye on the revised UCI calendar while international cricket slowly resumes. Although rain stoped play today. In Manchester. What are the chances...?! Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 16:33, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Pelham Henwood
Pelham Henwood - the one you've created the article for can't be the same as the one linked from List of Rhodesian representative cricketers, unless the year is wrong. Must be father and son or maybe uncle and nephew but the only reference I can find to the older one describes him as a racehorse trainer. Any ideas? Deb (talk) 18:23, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Deb: Seems to be two different cricketers. The South African and the Zimbabwean. Cricket Archive doesn't show any direct relation between the two. And thanks for your expansions too! Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 18:34, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Hey
Beyond My Ken and I (well, OK, maybe just me) were wondering how you were doing. Where I'm at, it's kind of hot. You write a lot about cricket, so I assume you're drinking gin and tonics--I added some limoncello to mine tonight, just for a change, but I kind of miss the bitterness that was masked by the sweet and sour. Take care, Drmies (talk) 01:10, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Drmies: - good morning! I'm fine, thanks for asking. Not too bad here, as long as the rain stays away. I do indeed write a lot about cricket, however, I don't drink! What could be better than spending five days watching the same match, and not knowing the outcome until about 30 minutes from the scheduled close of play.... Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 06:41, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hold that thought - there seems to be a doings afoot. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 06:42, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
- I wouldn't mind a bit of rain here; we need it. I sort of get that idea of excitement, though it is strange to me. (It brought this sudden reversal to mind--and I grew up loathing British soccer.) I used to listen to the BBC World Service on an old tube radio before going to sleep, I loved that sound, and they'd give cricket scores, and they were incomprehensible, of course. Anyway. I just came by to say hey, and thank you, and that I'm hoping that I can get "We Built This City" out of my head. Take care, Drmies (talk) 13:07, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

soccerfootball. But part of the fun of cricket, is trying to explain it! In 2013, I travelled up the West Coast of the US/Canada, and spent many an hour explaining the game to American sport fans. "That game where they stand in a field dressed in white?" Yes. "And it lasts HOW long?!" Five days. "And it can end in a DRAW...!" Yes. Take care too.

2016–17 Premier League Tournament Tier B
I have finished 2016–17 Premier League Tournament Tier B. That's the last of these back-dated seasons – beyond that there are at least 2 seasons where it is not in Cricinfo, although there are older seasons, but most domestic tournaments are not covered in detail prior to 2016 so that's enough. Feel I am a bit of an expert on Sri Lankan cricket now! I have created quite a few players that had red links for that season page, but perhaps you could do the last 10 or so? Bs1jac (talk) 11:38, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
- Great work! Cricinfo seems to add older seasons on a random basis. I've done work on Pakistan's Quaid-e-Azam Trophy seasons, and that goes back about to 2004–05 when I last checked. Yes, will go through the red links. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 11:43, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Vera Smith (figure skater)
Hi, hope this is the correct way to contact you! I'm new to editing Wikipedia. My sources for Vera Smith being nicknamed Vevi are as follows:
- The Olympedia page already listed as a reference on the existing article lists "Vevi" under "Nick/petnames"
- A blog post about the selection of the 1952 Winter Olympians with a scanned clipping from Skating magazine captioned "Vevi Smith" and a sentence in the body of the article referring to "Vera Virginia 'Vevi' Smith of the Toronto Skating Club"
- A newspaper photo of the 1952 Winter Olympians giving her name as "Vevi Smith"
- The Canadian Figure Skating Championships official results listing her as "Vevi Smith" (and therefore her medals from 1950-1954 on the Canadian Figure Skating Championships page appear under the name "Vevi Smith".)
I don't know which of these sources are considered reliable or notable enough to put as references, or how I should even cite a reference for a nickname (should I put a reference directly after the nickname itself?), but she clearly was called "Vevi" by at least some publications/media, and even competed under the name "Vevi Smith" in the Canadian Championships. (the fact that her Canadian Championships medals are under the name "Vevi Smith" is what made me think it was important enough to include the nickname on her page) Books2thesky (talk) 20:02, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Books2thesky: thanks for this post. My bad - I didn't see the nickname section on Olympedia! I've reveted that, as it's clearly in the source. Apologies, and welcome to Wikipedia. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 06:40, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Please enlighten me
here: Please explain the reason. Should I do the same in similar cases? Staszek Lem (talk) 07:02, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
- It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

The article Michel Boulos has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This subject is not at all notable. If this fencer is notable, then virtually all semi-professional fencers are, which is not the case.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Factfanatic1 (talk) 02:27, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Conflation
Hey Lugnuts again, about Shelley Steiner-Wetterberg: I think this time I have found an article that conflates two persons. There is Shelley Steiner (participated 1984 and 1988) and Shelley Wetterberg (now Shelley Charchuk, participated in 1992). In the past SR had conflated them as well, but they were separated to Shelley Steiner and Shelley Wetterberg. See also Steiner and Wetterberg in Olympedia for their latest findings; a few Google results support this position as well. As the article creator, can you please separate them into two articles? Thanks, MisterSynergy (talk) 11:28, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Perhaps instead of jumping to conclusions about my edits you should actually look at the link I provided. The 'noun plus -ing' construction is lazy writing and should be avoided. I'm really tired of this apparent vendetta you have against me; it would be in both our best interests to assume that the other is working to improve the articles we both work on - for my part, I'm certainly not actively working to annoy you and I'm sure you could say the same, but you always seem to jump to a defensive stance whenever I dare question the constructiveness of your edits. Neither of us are perfect, we could both stand to learn something from each other, but that's not going to happen if you blindly revert my changes instead of examining why it is that I made them. – PeeJay 09:10, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
- WP:PLUSING is a draft in someone's sandbox! Hardly worth citing now is it? "that's not going to happen if you blindly revert my changes" - that's a bit rich coming from you too! Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 09:15, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
- I don't know if you know who User:Tony1 is, but the stuff they've written in their userspace is cited from WP:WIAFA as good advice about how to write better. You may not have ambitions of getting articles to FA standard, but ignore Tony1's advice at your peril. As I was saying, I suggest you step away from Wikipedia for a little while as you're clearly too het up to have a rational discussion over this. You've got it into your head that I'm some kind of vandal or troll when that plainly isn't the case. – PeeJay 09:21, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

- @PeeJay: - right, how can we move forward with improving this? On a side note, I do get frustrated with you reverting pretty much every single change I make, so lets bottom it out and build this up to a half-decent record of the tour. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 11:54, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- It is frustrating when someone comes along and either changes or completely undoes an edit that you thought was beneficial to the article, but we all have to understand that our judgement is not perfect. Your edit about England playing three straight Tests at Old Trafford, for example, was a good addition to the article, but I didn't think it warranted being mentioned in the lead section as it's unlikely that that piece of trivia is what this series will be remembered for in the future. There was a better place to move it in the article, so I moved it. By the same token, you didn't think my wording was quite right so you changed it; I do think that my choice of word was right because at the time of the announcement of the tour schedule, the match hadn't been played so "would be" is a better choice of words than "was", but they both get the meaning across, so it's all good. – PeeJay 15:04, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Would you mind using edit summaries with a bit more regularity? I see why you changed "opening wicket" to "first wicket" because of the use of "openers" earlier in the sentence, but it wasn't immediately obvious. Adding an edit summary to every edit is really helpful to others who are trying to track down at what point certain changes are made and just generally good WP:WIKIQUETTE. Cheers mate. – PeeJay 15:37, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- Sorry, I ditched using edit summaries more than a decade ago, unless I thought the edit actually warrants an explanation (example). Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 16:04, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- Out of interest, why? It can be a pain, but it's useful for other editors, and lest we forget this is a collaborative project. I also find it helps with actually making you think about whether an edit is justified. If all you have to do is push "Publish changes" without thinking about what it is you're doing, it's too easy to make edits that might not be entirely warranted on reflection. – PeeJay 16:13, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- Time-consuming and pointless. Other editors can WP:AGF that my 1 million+ edits are gold. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 16:15, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- I would argue that an editor could be editing in good faith and still have to explain the reasons for their edits. As you and I have proven, two editors acting completely in good faith can come to loggerheads when they both believe their version of the article is better. As with the "red ball cricket" vs "first-class cricket" example from the other day, it was clear that me writing "first-ball cricket" was a typo but instead of writing a quick edit summary to say "first-ball cricket doesn't make sense", you just reverted. I understand you might have been having a bad day that day, but that doesn't excuse all the other times when a simple edit summary might have saved you and others a whole heap of aggro. – PeeJay 16:48, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks! – PeeJay 17:15, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

That notability question...
Moving forward and thinking about that notability question...
So, I knocked up List of Durham UCCE & MCCU players, really just because it was missing. There are 148 of them. I sampled the Bs and the Ss - Bs is almost always the longest section (who knew...), and Ss are long here.
From the Bs:
- Tom Bartram, Lewis Bedford (cricketer), Christian Begg, Chris Benjamin (cricketer), Luke Blackaby, Thomas Bruce (cricketer), Will Burnell and Joe Buttleman haven't gone on to play any form of obviously notable cricket (8/15)
- David Balcombe, Matthew Banes, Chaitanya Bishnoi, Justin Bishop (cricketer), David Owen Brown, Michael Brown (cricketer) and James Bruce (English cricketer) have (7/15)
From S it's less successful: Shan Masood (yes, him), Greg Smith (cricketer, born 1988) Will Smith (cricketer) and Cameron Steel have done so. Jhathavedh Subramanyan probably has and Abhiraj Singh possibly has (you know the situation at associate level better than I do). That's 6/22 - I think Fowler has said that something like 23% of players in the CC have played at a MCCU, so that might be about right I suppose.
This is only looking at recent players of course. Going back to the 00s, I wonder what you think of James Iles? I could go either way with him - a bit one-eventy, and if the criteria ended up suggesting he might not fit I'd be OK with it; otoh there are sources. e2a: and Tom Parsons (cricketer) would appear to fail as well - despite playing for several counties; I'm not sure how I feel about that. And Kevin Jones (cricketer). (I'm just using Kent players from the years we have season articles on for this) Blue Square Thing (talk) 11:49, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking time to look at this sample - I'll have a more indepth look later today (hopefully). Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 11:52, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Haha, play to start too! Will make time later today, once I've sorted out a few work-related things, lunch, etc. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 09:56, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- Jhathavedh Subramanyan was the U19 captain for Hong Kong, before moving up to the senior team, and played matches in the old World Cricket League (Div 2). Similar with Abhiraj Singh, who played multiple Div 3 matches in the WCL too. I always feel players from these teams will play more international matches, now they are part of the 2019–21 ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League. If they ever get rescheduled... I agree that James Iles could go either way. On one hand he was selected to face an international touring side, but was it more of making up the numbers in a warm-up game, or did he have some potential? Looks like Parsons played in the same match, but does have a few F/C matches under his belt too, so I'd be more inclined to keep him, if it came to a head-to-head between those two. Kevin Jones suffers from the fate of having a very common name, making finding more about him a bit tough! Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 14:05, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, that's similar to my thoughts. I figured the international chaps were probably notable - the whole World Cricket League thing might need tightening up a little at some point, but that can wait. I can find the odd passing mention of Jones in reports of Kent Cricket League matches and so on, but nothing in depth. It brings up the "only played for or against the universities" and/or touring sides - which, frankly, don't always lead to counties playing their best sides these days.
- I suppose I was wondering, if we were to think about moving to a notability criteria that essentially says "played in a match from this list", what would happen? We don't *need* to delete/redirect them, but are they really notable? I could certainly live with not having an article on Jones - and could see a position where we don't have one on Iles and, maybe Parsons. And I'd be happy to deal with the universities only chaps in lists - but I guess you figured that out :-)
- I'm wondering how you'd feel about that? Is there mileage in moving towards that sort of position for modern players first? Or would that be a step(s) too far for you?
- Of course, the position is much more complex for older players (pre-1890, say), but we can come back to them - I think there are ways we could probably deal with this. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:42, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
Lederer
Hi, for the edits I made for Gretchen Lederer I used actual marriage, census, and death information from actual records available on FamilySearch. I don't see how one can consider it unreliable. For FindAGrave there is a photograph of her name with her 2 husbands and son in their interment. For IMDB they cite John Shepek's work.
- Hi. Per my edit summary here, non of those sources are reliable. The edit summary links to the relevant pages stating why they can't be used to cite content. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 11:26, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, I still don't seem to understand your issue. Perhaps I am too new, but where is there any logic in the condemnation of a photographic record itself? The marriage record even gives the name of the person and their spouse in accordance with the information already available on the page. Otto did in fact marry Segunda on 6 October 1925 in Los Angeles. The scan of this marriage licence is public information provided from a government source to the genealogy site which can be freely accessed to the public given the registration of a simple account. You seem to have completely removed all my edits without even checking the sources yourself. Otto's passport record from the US Government available on FamilySearch states his father's name and birthdate and location and yet you remove that as well. I am not citing a random person's family tree, I'm citing a government source...

Use of is/was
Hello. What is your thoughts of using "was a sportsman" (ex: Piervittorio Pampuro) in stead of "is a sportsman" (ex: Vagn Peitersen)? Do you use an age to determine this? --- Løken (talk) 12:34, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi. In both of those cases, the subjects are very likely to be deceased, so was is fine. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 12:37, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks. It was just two random examples. I creating those articles in nowiki at the time, but I have rarely made articles about subjects that is likely to be deceased. Which age do you think it is OK to say "was"? Its probably not a big deal, since "was" also implifies that he is not a field hockey player anymore. --- Løken (talk) 12:43, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi Lugnuts, sorry I don't really know how to use wikipedia, but I though you could help me.

She is, however, overall Clinical Director of Emergency Medicine at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (which runs the A&Es at Charing Cross and St Mary's) - the recent London air ambulance YouTube interview with her can be your source (sorry it's not letting me link it)- from 2m50

Non-breaking spaces
Please stop removing non-breaking spaces from within dates (and other values); they prevent unwanted widows and orphans, such as:

- @Pigsonthewing: - any chance of explaning this, rather than you continuing to edit-war? Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 13:30, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
- "Winmdows" and "orphans" are copy-editing terms (dating from the pre-computer age) for lines where a single word or partial word, or in some case a much less than full line, is left on a page different from the rest of the paragraph to which it belongs. See Widows and orphans. Here I believe Pigsonthewing is using it more generally to mean unwanted line breaks which leave a date or value split across a line, instead of all together on a single line. If I am not mistaken, the MOS calls for using non-breaking spaces between the partts of a date, and be tween a value and a unit, so avoid such unwanted line breaks.

Look, Instead of reverting back edits of others' within few minutes, please make sure to wait for few minutes as they might be finding some source. As sometimes, a reliable source is difficult to find. Floka 🐯 (talk) 08:22, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
- I re-added it a few hours later, because the toss had taken place for the t20 Blast game, and he was in the playing eleven! IE - he had then played for the team, not before. Why should I wait a "few minutes"? If it only take a few minutes to find the source, then find it, and then add it. Don't add unsourced content and leave it. Minutes become hours, hours become days, etc, etc. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 08:28, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
- And please read Template:Infobox_cricketer#Club - Only include clubs that the player has actually played for At the time you added the info, he had not played a match for them. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 08:30, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
- Firstly, their are many other articles which are edited like that. (Ok, Leave this topic I think you won't understand) Secondly, I usually add source within few minutes. But what you do is you can't even wait for a minute and revert those edits. Have patience man. Their are many sources on google but some of them are not reliable enough, finding a reliable source takes time. Anyway, Have a nice day.👍 Floka 🐯 (talk) 09:03, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
Infoboxes of international footballers
Hello, I noticed you have created a number of international footballers who were Olympic reserve players, thanks for your contributions. However, I noticed you included the number of appearances and years for the player's international career in the lead, but not in the infobox. Do you think you could also add the parameters |nationalyears1=
, |nationalcaps1=
and |nationalgoals1=
to the infobox? That way the article is more useful to readers, and avoids the lone dash in the infobox. S.A. Julio (talk) 18:49, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hi. Yes, if I get time, I will. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 18:52, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

I've found out an article that needs to be created.
Hello Lugnuts I've found an article which is not on Wikipedia, it is Marina Bondarko model related article.
There are many references of Marina Bondarko on Google.
I've found one reliable source of reference, it's wedding 21 Korean magazine , march publication, do check it out.
Actually I'm new I can't write articles directly, so I told you. Satyapreneur (talk) 19:12, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
Give this a try bro I know you can create this within 5 minutes. Satyapreneur (talk) 20:15, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Hey, I thanked you earlier but I wanted to send you a personal message. Thanks for today I would have felt even more overwhelmed otherwise and I hope the articles I created end in Keep! CreativeNorth (talk) 18:54, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Production credits
You deleted production credits from the Virginia article with a edit summary stating that "we" don't do that on film articles. Is there a policy and guideline that supports that? It strikes me, frankly, as absurd that we would prohibit such important aspects of a film's history. These are the artists and craftsmen responsible for creating the film and who are credited up front on the screen? There is no space limitation on a film's Wikipedia article. What possible justification is there from excluding them from the article? Cbl62 (talk) 16:36, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Cbl62: - Hi. I was certain it was in WP:MOSFILM, but I guess not. However, I've started this discussion at the Film Project. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 16:45, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

- Great minds indeed! Just had a quick look for anything on his life before the match and can't find anything,I'd assume he's a businessman or politician if he is a team owner? Will look some more Sunday :) StickyWicket (talk) 22:05, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
Hi there. I was looking at the Warner Bros Interactive page and I noticed it is still part of Home Entertainment. Other pages state that it is part of Warner Bros Entertainment directly while Home Entertainment is moved to WarnerMedia Commercial. Which one is true? WarnerBros.com site states it is still a division of Home Entertainment. Is that an error? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Galagahunt (talk • contribs) 16:26, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Missing plot on Rätten att älska
Hi — regarding the article Rätten att älska which you recently created, I added the no plot tag, which you subsequently removed without leaving an edit note. The Template:No_plot clearly states that all articles on works of fiction should have a plot summary. Please could you enlighten me? TIA, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 20:20, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
- It's a stub - obviously the plot it missing. Pointless drive-by tagging. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 06:41, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- 'Pointless' in your opinion, you mean? I'll bear that in mind - articles must comply with policies, unless they're stubs, in which case anything goes. Got it. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:41, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- No, pointless full stop. It'll be there for years with no-one adding the plot. Unless you're going to write one. No, didn't think so. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 09:09, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

2020–21 National T20 Cup
Hi. Every country has different sun setting time. At this moment, the match is currently being played under artificial lights. 3 pm matches will start under sun and would end under lights. So, I think they are d/n matches.Floka 🐯 (talk) 13:31, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
The other match, will start at 7:30 local time under lights. How the match starting at this time will be considered as d/n?. Floka 🐯 (talk) 13:33, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- All matches starting under lights are classed as D/N on here. There are some T20I matches that have started at 19:00 local time, that are clearly night matches, but are listed as D/N. All the 19:30 starts in the IPL are D/N matches, for example. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 13:35, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- I knew there was one in NZ recently(ish) - the fourth one against England. D/N on the wiki article, but N on the scorecard. Again, if it's under lights, it's D/N on here. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 13:37, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- Same for the Aus-Ind series in November 2018, and NZ-Ind in Feb 2019 (8pm starts!). Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 13:39, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
