Graeme Wight, Jr.

Yeah, I should have really said that in the edit summary. Although programmes and having seen it on the car myself as Wight Jr, it still will be Wight, Jr. because of how a name is written. Many apologies about the excessive strength of the summary, I did not mean to cause offence. Regards. Cs-wolves (talk) 23:25, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Haha, you could say that. Anyway, I'll be off to watch the Bathurst 1000. I'm also thinking about adding infoboxes for each hill on the BHCC calendar. Stay tuned. Cs-wolves (talk) 23:37, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Jupiter ACE: ACE and FORTH... or Forth and Ace ?

Greetings,

About the usage of CAPS on Ace and Forth...

Original texts from C. Moore refer FORTH ... and in the release Forth-79 standard official document.

The origin of the name is FOURTH, reference to be a 4th generation (as I recall), to but the computer used when the name was first used allowed only 5 char names, and upper letter chars...

... Only later (how much later I do not know) "Forth", as you correctly pointed out. become to be used. I believe the usage change to be an error as it has a different meaning from the English word ... and can not be considered an English word. Are FORTRAN, ADA or PL/1 useful examples?

Anyway, it is now accepted as "normal" and nothing can be done, its' importance is relative and I'm not qualified to decide on such matters.

• By human rules, 10 lies makes a truth, i.e. : 10 time zero makes a one - I should quote myself in my quotes file :)
  

Besides... C.Moore wouldn't care! He is now using small caps for everything... now he can use them.

About the Ace... or ACE... It depends on the meaning, and origin, of the name...

... And the usage for name in a product, i.e. : Trade-name vs. Word-meaning.

Thus, in my view:

1. Forth SHOULD be all in CAPS but being too late for correct it. But isn't correction more relevant than a comite?
2. Ace should also should be all in CAPS, but for being a product not to be confused with the word.

Hope not to bother with these considerations. They are more interesting things.
But your reference arouse some curiosity in me, and this is the result.
To be honest, I do not know if to be happy or unhappy with the exercise. Maybe both.

Regards,
Dutra de Lacerda.

P.S. - Maybe there's another reason to consider that is elusive but powerful:

CAPS sound like shouting, and some people use them with that purpose.

A very natural reaction is to avoid them, consciously or not.

Be well. Factor-h (talk) 14:40, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Hillclimb infoboxes

I just stuck the normal motor racing circuit ones, because i began to realise that it was a monster template to fix. I did try and make the infobox for a hillclimb but it just wasn't happening and gave up. I'm sure a bit of hard graft by someone on the wikiproject or yourself could actually get them perfect. Regards. Cs-wolves (talk) 23:37, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Especially with a strip record of less than 4 seconds - it just doesn't look right with lap! Cs-wolves (talk) 23:48, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Persistence pays off eventually. Got one working, with distance in miles and in yards. Regards. Cs-wolves (talk) 00:27, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Same here. I'm actually surprised I got it working - did take a couple of attempts mind you! Not something to be happy about at half one in the morning. Cs-wolves (talk) 00:32, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Vikram Rawnsley?!

Not sure what I was thinking there. Typing one line and reading the next, I believe! I'm sure I meant to type in Solanki's name, but why I would choose to do it twice, I'm not sure!

Thank you for spotting this error, and the duplication of Sheryar's name. Bobo. 23:21, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. As I mentioned on WT:CRIC, I'll have a look through at some point, though I can say with a fair amount of confidence that every pre-WW2 Worcs cricketer does have an article; I have them arranged by year of debut at User:Loganberry/Worcs. Some of them may not be under the same titles you use, and in some cases redirects might well be useful.

I will have a look through Category:Worcestershire cricketers to see if I can make any useful redirects: all my redlinks are for the names as they appear on cricketarchive.com/Worcestershire, we shall see if there's anything useful I can do with any of them. Bobo. 23:33, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Problem solved

Hi there. I've realized why there are still so many redlinks. James Turner, for example, when you created the article, you made at James Turner (Worcestershire cricketer), rather than where the link on my page exists as James Turner (cricketer). There are several other examples of this, which I can fix easily so long as I look at the early disambiguated names. Bobo. 23:36, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Speaking of which

I fixed a link on my Nottinghamshire page from James Turner (cricketer) to James Turner (Nottinghamshire cricketer). Therefore, when I create the latter, we can turn the former into a disambiguation page. Bobo. 23:41, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Just created

I went ahead and created a disambiguation page for James Turner (cricketer). The only two other James Turners on Cricket Archive are both Minor Counties players. Bobo. 23:53, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

John Stephenson (cricketer, born 1907)

Dear Loganberry, I've nominated John Stephenson (cricketer, born 1907), a new article started by you, for the "Did you know". Please see the hook at Template_talk:Did_you_know#Articles_created.2Fexpanded_on_October_21. Have a nice day. AdjustShift (talk) 19:16, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

DYK for John Stephenson (cricketer, born 1907)

On 28 October, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article John Stephenson (cricketer, born 1907), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Sindh cricket team

To the best of my knowledge, Sind is just an alternative spelling of Sindh ... much like some people may call Western Australia - West Australia. As the wikipedia article on the province elects to use Sindh I concluded that we should do so to. The phrase 'Sindh cricket team' also gets considerable more google hits than the other for what it's worth. That said, I've just looked up Cricinfo and they, like CA, call the team Sind so it's six of one half a dozen of the other.

My lazy editing is to blame for not changing some of the Sinds in the article, I'll fix that up once we decide on what the best title for the article should be.

John Aldridge (cricketer)

I don't want to add to your workload at a point when you seem within striking distance of completing the Worcestershire cricketers - which will be a tremendous feat - but the Aldridge article looks to be a bit in need of your care and attention. At present, it's written, bizarrely, almost as if he was played as a batsman! Like Derek Pearson, of course, he also got into trouble with the umpires in the purge on throwing...

George Wilson

Hi there, thanks for your note. For some reason, I only have one George Wilson on my Worcestershire list - that is, George Clifford Wilson. I will have to retrace my steps as to why I've forgotten to include George Alfred Wilson on the list - I'd have to completely rewrite the list in order to see why - I haven't the time to do so now but I will look over it at the earliest possible opportunity.

Maybe I haven't included the entire list for some reason...

Thanks for checking this out for me. Bobo. 17:53, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I think you probably have left out a few players, since your total is 501 and mine is 513. Perhaps those who didn't play County Championship cricket, or who only played one-day games, aren't on your list? The one who comes to mind is Bill Athey, who played one National League match for Worcs in 1999, I think during an injury crisis.

Certainly I took my list solely from those who played first-class cricket - I assume therefore that there are some players who played one-day cricket who never played first-class cricket - these names are not on my list. Bobo. 19:09, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Laddy Outschoorn

Thank you for the note, and sorry to have been nitpicky. In compensation, I've given him an infobox. Johnlp (talk) 22:07, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Stephen Watkins

Just giving you a heads up that someone has proposed your article for speedy deletion. I'd remove the template myself but I'm not sure if you're allowed to if you're not an admin. Cheers. Jevansen (talk) 04:07, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
