Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page PLN - Professional Learning Network has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://twitter.com/ (matching the regex rule \btwitter\.com\b). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 19:32, 14 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Cricket and Englishness

edit

I came across your project via the edits of other people. However this ends up being organised on wikipedia (and I am not involved in the education projects at all, so don't know the correct process), I would make a couple of (non-wikipedia) suggestions. I'm not familiar with your main text, but I have watched "Fire in Babylon", which really only has part of the story and dismisses West Indies cricket before 1976 as lightweight. There was far more to it (and I don't mean from a cricket viewpoint, but a political one) than the film even hints at. Second, I cannot recommend highly enough Beyond a Boundary by C. L. R. James. I imagine this would tick many, many of your boxes even given its age. Hope this helps, and good luck. Sarastro1 (talk) 22:09, 12 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Sarastro1, and thanks for the info! I'm actually just helping with this project, but Simon1252 might find these sources useful in the future.
Beyond a Boundary is probably the greatest cricket book ever written. See comments by CDTPP and myself at Talk:History of cricket to 1725 and also the revised paragraph on origin. ----Jack | talk page 00:45, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

course pages and the ambassador program

edit

Hi! I replied to your most recent post at the education noticeboard. If you want to explore a bit about the education program and the course pages, you might find this useful: Wikipedia:Training/For educators.--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 14:36, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, Sage Ross (WMF). I'm exploring all of this, so I appreciate the help!Oline73 (talk) 14:50, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Article Feedback deployment

edit

Hey Oline73; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:47, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Removal of comment at ANI

edit

Hello Oline73, You seem to have removed one of my comments at ANI. I realize edit conflicts happen, but our posts were over an hour apart. Please be more careful in the future. Thanks. Dave Dial (talk) 14:33, 14 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi, DD2K, sorry, I'm not sure how that happened. I wasn't editing the conversation you're involved with, so I must have accidentally clicked and deleted it somehow. My apologies, it's a mystery how it happened and it was unintentional. Hope it wasn't too much of an inconvenience! --Oline73 (talk) 15:11, 14 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your response. No, it was no problem to reinsert the comment. Just a simple copy and paste job. Have a good day. Dave Dial (talk) 17:46, 14 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject naming

edit

Hi there, in relation to the use of WikiProject in a page title, I've started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Should the "Wikipedia:WikiProject" prefix be reserved for "full projects/sub projects/task groups" or any gathering?. I don't want to get into any of the other issues associated with this Englishness course or Jack or anything like that, only the appropriateness of the page name. As you were involved in this project page creation, I would appreciate your input to the discussion. Regards, The-Pope (talk) 03:33, 15 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
