Cricket

I've noticed you make quite a few articles on cricket, so thought I'd bring to your attention a list User:Bobo192 has compiled. His lists which are full of redlinks to first-class/List A/Twenty20 players which don't have articles (probably about 30,000 or so names!). Feel free if you want to have a go at some!

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. In 2004 Asia Cup, you recently added links to the disambiguation pages Central Province and Western Province (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Ayuda

¡Hola! Es para mí una gran alegría encontrar a alguien que habla pastún (pashto language) y también español. Soy un editor anónimo de Wikipedia y me gustaría preguntarte qué es lo que está escrito en las siguientes medallas: medalla desconocida roja, medalla desconocida rosa. Es que me gustaría saber ya que nadie parece tener esa información sobre estas medallas afganas. Por favor, respóndeme en esta misma página, y te lo agradeceré mucho.

Pakistan Twenty20 captains

Hi. Could you please also add a list of Twenty20 captains on List of Pakistan national cricket captains, currently the article only contains Test and ODI captains. Also, Mohammad Hafeez has been declared as the new T20 captain, so if you make a list, he'll need to be included. If you can help, that would be great. Lyk4 (talk) 09:16, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi, how do you find out the match number played by a player in his career. Vensatry (Ping me) 14:21, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Response- I just do it from "batting innings list". Zia Khan 10:17, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
That's very tedious! Vensatry (Ping me) 11:06, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
Is there any other way to do this?. Zia Khan 11:12, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
I don't think so. Won't it be better to use innings rather than matches in such lists. Vensatry (Ping me) 15:58, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Likewise. Thanks for the reply. Zia Khan 16:05, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

It might be a few days before I get a chance to review the Hadlee list.

Would you mind weighing in your opinion here. Vensatry (Ping me) 14:47, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

This article is not long enough per WP:DYK. The person already died since 2004, and maybe you didn't understand how an article must be eligible. However, it's not BLP (biography of living person), so, if you will not be able to expand this article further, this nomination will fail. --George Ho (talk) 14:00, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

WP:TFL reboot

Hello Sahara4u. I just wanted to thank you for selecting a submission for TFL. As you are aware, recently, at WT:TFL, there's been a lot of concern that the system has become stuck, that new nominations are being discouraged by the lengthy queues in place, and that my selections for TFL haven't been diverse enough. To that end, I've rebooted the system. In short, we will no longer have a submissions and prep page, just a submissions page. We'll limit the number of submissions to ten. The community can comment on, support, oppose etc the inclusion of any of the submissions. Directors will have final say on what goes on main page when. I've deleted all selections made from mid-October to Christmas to give others the opportunity to get involved. I'm sorry that your efforts now have been, well, delayed I guess, and hope that you'll continue to support our process, as we try to improve and ultimately get more main page exposure. Feel free to ping me about any of this. Thanks again. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:29, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I'm planning to improve this article and take it to GAN. So let me know if you're interested. Vensatry (Ping me) 03:37, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate this and I'll be very happy to help you. Zia Khan 04:29, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Main Page appearance

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of the article List of international cricket centuries by Mohammad Yousuf know that it will be appearing as the main page featured list on October 29, 2012. You can view the TFL blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/October 29, 2012. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors The Rambling Man (talk · contribs), Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) or Giants2008 (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks! Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 21:52, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

DYK for List of international cricket centuries by Younus Khan

Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:03, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Hobbs GAN

Thanks for the review. I've replied to all your concerns; where I have not implemented your suggestions, I have explained why. For future reference, when you complete a GA review, it is worth placing it on hold to show that you are waiting for responses. Also, make sure you check against all the GA criteria, such as images. Thanks. Sarastro1 (talk) 16:46, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Re images: As far as GA goes, all you need to do is to ascertain whether the images are appropriately licensed and sourced. All the images in Hobbs are free, and most are from pre-1923, which makes life a little easier. Also, the Australian ones fall under a peculiar loophole whereby all photos taken before 1946 and verifiably published in Australia are free in Australia and the US. Sarastro1 (talk) 19:24, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
There is no prblem with the images User:NapHit has already reviewed them and thanks for bieng so quick. Zia Khan 19:28, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the review. Two final points: make sure that you add the article to the list of Good articles, as mentioned in the instructions on the GAN page; and it's usually a good idea to update the wikiprojects ratings to GA. Thanks again! Sarastro1 (talk) 20:09, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Archives and adminship

I saw on your userpage that you'd like to be an admin one day and since I've seen you around FL, I thought of digging in a bit. I didn't find any problems with your editing, however I noticed that there is no archives to messages sent here. The one about 2011 is merely with 4 messages; 2 of which are BOT generated (sorry if I got the figure wrong). This looks a minor issue but enough to shut off a RfA of any editor. To be frank, I was interested in nominating you, but as long as you don't gather all the messages that you received till date, nor can I offer a nom or support you. Pardon me if I didn't found the archives that exist (it doesn't as far as I see). Cheers! TheSpecialUser TSU 10:21, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Featured list submissions

No idea why you decided to delete the Peter Sellers on stage, radio, screen and record article from the WP:Today's featured list/submissions page, but if there was an issue, then at least highlighting the reason in an edit summary would be useful. - SchroCat (talk) 22:39, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

The reasoning was only ten submissions at permitted at once, but regardless, you should not have used rollback to remove the submission; that tool is only meant to revert clear-cut cases of vandalism, and should not be used to revert good faith contributions.

Language Map of Khyber Pukhtukhwa

Hello,I see you are a member of Pashtun projects. If you know about the subject, you should also know that the maps you keep re-instating is completely wrong. As i stated earlier in multiple talk pages, the map is showing majority pashto speaking areas such as Karak District, Shangla District, Battaggram District, Toorghar District and Buner District as Hindko Speaking, while Tank District is being shown as Saraiki Speaking. The map is of a very bad quality and extemely in accurate, so one wonders why was it allowed to be used in the first place. Also if you are a member of Pashtun project you should yourself be aware that the map being used is inaccurate amd should be removed or replaced.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Sardar Ayaz Sadiq.jpeg)

Thanks for uploading File:Sardar Ayaz Sadiq.jpeg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:22, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre

Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members).

So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:

  • Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with (at the time this message was sent out, 2 recruiters have volunteered), the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available".
  • Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497).
  • Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along.

A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk)

File permission problem with File:Murtaza Javed Abbasi.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Murtaza Javed Abbasi.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:26, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Munir Hussain.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Munir Hussain.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 18:27, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Main Page appearance

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of the article List of Presidents of Pakistan know that it will be appearing as the main page featured list on September 9, 2013. You can view the TFL blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/September 9, 2013. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors The Rambling Man (talk · contribs), Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) or Giants2008 (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. Thanks! Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 01:04, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks again for the expansion and the DYK nom. One question - you removed the links in the date field to the Test series saying they're unnecessary. Do you think it's useful for readers to navigate to those pages or not? I always think those tour pages are underlinked and can be a headache to find for the novice user! Not bothered either way about them being in the table, but would like to hear your thoughts about them. I wont go all Bob Willis about this (he makes me look happy, haha)! Cheers. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 06:28, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
I think these links are not so important in these kind of lists. For eah match you have a separate source. And the similar lists also do not have these links. Dunno?! Zia Khan 16:31, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the FL link and nom - will do what I can to get it to that standard required. Thanks again! Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 17:40, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
