Rrsmac

Hello Rrsmac, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for starting an article on Will Jefferson. I have a photo to put in the article, which I'll upload later today. I'm also going to nominate this article for the Did You Know... box on the Main page.

If you're interested in cricket, have a look at WikiProject Cricket. We have a talk page where we discuss the cricket articles on Wikipedia, and we also have a little quiz going. You'd be welcome to join us.

Whoops, I wrote the above yesterday, but I put it on your User page, not your Talk page, so you probably didn't notice it.

Thanks for your message, and thanks for writing the article on his father. Putting it at Richard Ingleby Jefferson is fine; another option which we more often use is to put it at Richard Jefferson (cricketer), but what you did is fine too. If you go to Richard Jefferson, you'll see I put a diambiguation link at the top, redirecting people to your article.

One last thing: the easiest way to sign your name on talk pages is just to put four tildes in a row, like this: ~~~~. That inserts your signature together with the date and time.

Will Jefferson featured on Did You Know?

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Will Jefferson, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Many thanks Stephen. Rrsmac 15:05, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

link to British

Hello, when you want to link to the article about something British, please do not link to British, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as United Kingdom, Great Britain or British English by writing out [[United Kingdom|British]] or [[Great Britain|British]].

Robert Young (gerontologist)

I'd like an honest assessment from someone who isn't biased against supercentenarians or WWI veterans on this article:

Thanks for the help. I'm new in this area of editing and you helped me a lot. Thanks! : ) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skirgedot (talk • contribs) 01:16, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Who I Am

I'm from Portugal, but I think Portuguese Wikipedia isn't perfect as English one is. I like editing this article because it's my favorite type of record (like tallest, smallest, etc.) and I had a grand-grandmother who died at 105 a couple years ago. Since then, I've been more interisting in this area of supercentenarians.

Oh, and please, if you find any errors, let me know. I'm not an expert in English. :P —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skirgedot (talk • contribs) 01:29, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I completely agree with you. Maria de Jesus is another reason for my interest in this area, she lives near me, and hopefully (if everything works as I expect) I should be present in her 114th Birthday, September 10. We also have a 110 man, Augusto Oliveira Moreira, as you know for sure, which is very unusual, because Portuguese males worked a lot in the past, in farming and such hard-working jobs. USA is as healthy as Portugal, a notable fact proving that is just looking to our List of the oldest people, where more than 50% of the 100 oldest people of all time are americans or lived in America. I'm registered in Yahoo! Group Worlds_Oldest_People, my nickname there is igormrs. Also I wrote a message a couple days ago asking for some photos of Tane Ikai, Carrie C. White and Lucy Hannah, since these women are in the top 10, but I've never seen any photos of them (did you?). Thank you for advising me about the sign off.

Wishing the best for you, Skirgedot 00:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Are the Oldest-Old or Final Few notable?

Greetings, User Brown-Haired Girl has waged a campaign to wipe out the entire 'supercentenarians' field on Wikipedia. This has included:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_November_1#Category:Supercentenarian_trackers

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Robert_Young_%28longevity_claims_researcher%29

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Epstein_%28supercentenarian_tracker%29

And, even, a man dead over 100 years:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Thoms

I find it incredulous that one would attack even the man who invented the term 'folklore' and started the field of 'supercentenarian tracking.'

Such mass hysteria seems to be working. User BHG is one of the top-10 editors by edit count on Wikipedia and has lots of friends. I can't imagine most WWI veteran articles surviving if this trend continues. I do urge everyone who considers tracking the oldest-old, whether WWI vets or no, to chime in on these debates.

Sincerely, Robert YoungRyoung122 17:07, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
