Really? Huh, I'll go change the main article as well then. Thanks! Staxringold talkcontribs 16:12, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I did an editor review. I assume you know how to find it. YechielMan 04:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A Good Quiz Question
I was looking at the scorecard at Cricketarchive of the 1909 Philadelphia v Ireland match (following the link from the King article), and was surprised to see the name of HV Hordern in the Philadelphia eleven. Hordern played Test cricket for Australia, so the quiz question would be: "Which Test cricketer played for Philadelphia?" His profile on Cricinfo revealed that in 1907 (and the following years?) he was studying in Pennsylvania, as part of his training as a doctor, which presumably explains how he came to be playing for the Philadelphians. It would make a good DYK, but the Wiki article on Hordern would need to be expanded first. JH (talk page) 20:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- I've now expanded the article. I had the idea of perhaps submitting it for DYK myself, but having now seen the requirements for an article to be a valid DYK article I've dropped the idea. (But by all means go ahead yourself if you'd like to.) JH (talk page) 21:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
When a conversation becomes three or four way, it becomes hard to know where to respond. I've done so on Tintin's talk page. JH (talk page) 18:43, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- I've now proposed it for DYK. Thanks for your help. JH (talk page) 20:25, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

- And it's appeared today. :) JH (talk page) 18:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] John Lester
Glad to be of help. Feel free to change or copyedit anything that I add because the quality of my English prose isn't exactly "compelling, even brilliant" :-) Tintin 04:02, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Longevity
Have you noticed how remarkably long-lived the most famous Philadelphian cricketers tended to be?
- Lester 98
- Clark 92
- King 91
- Morris 88
They must have been doing something right! JH (talk page) 22:00, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
- Morris is recorded as playing a game at the age of 69, so he must have been very fit! Andrew nixon 22:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

- In case you are wondering where it has gone, your DYK article was included in an update earlier today, but I replaced it with another entry to avoid all of them being US-related. It should appear in the next update at about 6 hours after the message above. -- ALoan (Talk) 15:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Philadelphian Cricket Team
I don't know if there's a problem with the reflist template, but I can only see the first item in the Notes section. I think the categories box is possibly superimposed over the remainder. This may be related to the fact that I use 800x600 screen resolution, because I'm short-sighted. Would you be willing to replace the template by <references/> - which hopefully would be equivalent but without the glitch? JH (talk page) 21:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. I evidently jumped to a wrong conclusion. Just as well I didn't report it as a bug on the template's Talk page! JH (talk page) 21:27, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
BTW, the article H. D. G. Leveson-Gower has a Philadelphian cricket connection mentioned which might amuse you. JH (talk page) 18:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Rather reminds me of the 'Great Chatham with his sabre drawn' poem. Hardly a surprise but HDG is an agnatic descendant of the Earls Gower. Alci12 15:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Nice work on the article. I've done a bit of minor copy-editing. JH (talk page) 19:03, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] US Cricket Sandbox
I've just made a slight edit on the US cricket sandbox. Whilst the games in 1913 were the last in the USA until 2004, games were played on US soil in the interim, in the US Virgin Islands which are part of the West Indies for cricket purposes. Don't get me started on which national side players born there are eligible for! Andrew nixon 08:28, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- The eligibility for players born in the USVI is a thorny one. The way I read the rules, they'd be eligible for both the West Indies and the USA, but it seems strange that you could be eligible by birth for two different national teams! The same problem applies to St Maarten and the Netherlands. Andrew nixon 14:17, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] US Cricket articles
Hey there. I just wanted to congratulate you on the top work you are doing on US related cricket articles. No doubt you are already aware of it but the book The Tented Field by Tom Melville covers the history of US cricket quite well. Cheers, --Roisterer 03:46, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] John Lester
I passed the GA, but there is one glaring issue that needs addressing. It's on the article's talk page. Since it's very easy to fix and should only take a second I passed it. Please address it however, as I said it should only take a second. Quadzilla99 12:10, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- Perfect, like I said it was an easy fix. Nice work on the article. Quadzilla99 14:12, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] George Patterson
I looked over George Patterson as well. Rather than put it on hold I figured I'd ask you a couple of questions because the issues I have might not be addressable. I assume because he played so long ago it would be very hard to find any info about his early life, is that correct? Even if you could only find enough to write 2-3 sentences such as "George Patterson was born to Ethel and James Patterson, middle class owners of a [x] business in city, state" (or whatever). If you can't find info then it's a non-actionable objection so don't worry. This sentence could be polished: "In America Patterson played many big innings." See here, if it's not possible to use an exact number then just use more formal language or quote someone. Quadzilla99 06:40, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- To be clear I didn't review Patterson yet. I was hoping you could get some info on his early life (maybe his personal life as well). I was just asking you if that was possible because if it isn't I'm leaning toward passing it. Quadzilla99 08:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] in re Lawrence Dalton
Hi. Unless I'm mistaken you nominated Laurence Dalton for DYK and were responsible for the wording now appearing there. I'm curious to know why the incredibly specific claim that Dalton was embezzling tabards found its way into the DYK blurb without being mentioned anywhere in the present article or any of its past historical revisions. This is a little backwards, no? (To be perfectly frank, too, I'm rather skeptical regarding this point, too -- surely one doesn't "embezzle" a physical thing like a tabard, one "steals" it; and if some source says (like the article does) that he was planning to "embezzle from the Great Wardrobe" surely the most logical construction we can put upon this is that he was planning to embezzle money from what today we'd call the budget of that office.) Thanks very much, Doops | talk 22:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Evadb, I've turned the entry into a comment for now. When this matter is cleared please do find an admin to re-add it, but this is just to shaky for me right now.--Carabinieri 22:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thomas Benolt
I wasn't sure about the sentence which tailed off "...when he was..." so I added "there" as a guess (it was that or chop it out completely), but you may want to fix it if it is wrong. I guess you got distracted halfway through typing, I'm always doing that. Cheers, Yomanganitalk 14:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
