User talk:*Paul* - Misplaced Pages

Hi *Paul*, and welcome to Misplaced Pages.

Thankyou for finding the time to sign up and contribute to our little project. If you're in doubt about anything, you might want to check out some of these pages:

Welcome, newcomers - a general introduction, and a good starting point
The help centre and FAQs
The Manual of Style - a guide to the community's writing conventions

It's also a good idea to sign the new user log and add a little about yourself.

When contributing to a talk page, you can sign your name by typing four tildes after your comments, like this: ~~~~. (Just so you know, some people won't pay attention to unsigned comments).

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me at my talk page, or at the Help desk or Village Pump.

Above all, make sure you be bold when contributing, and have fun!

Thanks for volunteering to help with the AFL scores, and thanks for all your hard work maintaing the scores website! How is it that you came across us? It seems very fortuitous! All the same, once you get the hang of Wiki-editing in general, just use the template I made and fill-in-the-blanks to add more season articles. Feel free to add more information than what we're adding now - the rough plan was to get the basics (ladder etc) in first.

Australian Football League season 1970

Looks good, the round-by-round stats are what we were aiming for. It just needs some formatting, like links for the various venues, dates; some 'wrapper' text to introduce it, and the things like overall attendance and medal winners that are in the other articles. The actual tables look great. Don't stress about the format too much though, just take your time to get used to Wikidom and everything will fall into place! Thanks. █ T █ P █ K █ 07:53, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

email to the FIT

Hello i'm a french player, in my country our sport is calling touch rugby. I work on wikipedia did you know that encyclopedia. We have a problem to name our sport and of course to name the article: Touch rugby, touch football (rugby league).

The principal argument of the touch football (rugby league) is the sport created in australia and in australia you call that sport touch football

You can see the discution on: http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Touch_rugby for touch rugby http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Touch_football_%28rugby_league%29 for touch football (rugby league)

Can you help us please(sorry for my english) Quentin Goldensun 18:28, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

You

I wish to interview you, or atleast find out your life story, and some other things. I am trying to research all about humankind and all types of peoples. I have randomly chosen you, if you wish to comply to this, it can be done in secrecy through e-mail, or easily on the talk pages, which ever is easiest for you. But if you don't like this idea, then tell me on talk page. Privat e Butcher 01:15, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you

I award you this cricket barnstar for working so hard to keep the List of Test cricket records, List of ODI records and now the players' lists up to date. Thank you! Stephen Turner (Talk)

Paul, I came here to say thanks also, but see that Stephen has beaten me to it by a few days. Your work in keeping these lists up to date is fantastic and really appreciated. All the best. -- Ian ≡ talk 08:32, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Nero's verify results

Hi, is it true that Nero's verify results are inaccurate? Shawnc 19:45, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Interesting results. Thanks for the info. Shawnc 18:58, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Cricket win percentage

Hello Paul,

I hesitate to criticise anything you do with List of Test cricket records and List of One-day International records, but I'm just wondering why you changed the definition of win percentage. To me, counting a tie the same as a loss seems wrong. Was it just for convenience? It's surely easy to calculate it either way, isn't it?

Thanks,

Stephen Turner (Talk) 15:24, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

WikiProjects

Hi Paul! You have done some great work on cricket, Australian rules and rugby league. You are always welcome to join WikiProject AFL, WikiProject Cricket and WikiProject Rugby league. Help is always needed and appreciated! Thanks Da Gizza 08:17, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Cricket updates

Your update of the List of Australian Test cricketers has edited out a number of amendments we have to names to make sure the list is pointing in the right direction (see ). Could you amend your update program to take account of this? Many thanks, jguk 17:21, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I should have noted that it's great to see you updating them. Is it your intention to regularly update all these lists, or just the Aussie ones? jguk 18:02, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Cricket biographies

It's great to see more cricket biographies being created (even if they are of Australians! :) ). Could I ask that you add references for what you're adding (eg have a references section listing the Cricinfo or CricketArchive page, or whatever books you are using) and also to place the cricketers in their own categories. Cheers, jguk 15:04, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Apologies.

I've put this here, in case you don't notice it on Talk:The Goodies. I didn't mean to overwrite your edit. I started an edit session before you did, and didn't get around to writing and saving the comment until after you had. I didn't even know it'd happened until you made your second comment.--Drat (Talk) 11:57, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Cricket biographies

Hello Paul! Nice to see you templating pages about Cricketers. Could you please add their birth and death categories? I have done this for some of your recent creations but I would rather that you get in to the habit. Regards, -- (aeropagitica) 14:31, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello again! Thanks for tweaking your program to include birth and death categories, the entries are more consistent with other biographical stubs now. Best wishes, -- (aeropagitica)

10:05, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I see you're nearly at the end of the Aussies - I do hope you'll move onto the Lists of Test cricketers of other nations, jguk 18:29, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: More sub-stubs

Hi Paul, thanks for your message. I think all cricket biographies should have at a minimum: full name, including middle names; date and place of birth; date of death if applicable; the fact the person was a cricketer; some information about their career; a References section (all Misplaced Pages articles should have one of these), usually including a Cricinfo link generated by the {{cricinfo}} template; categories for all the teams they played for; and {{cricketbio-stub}} if it's a short article. The infobox is nice, but I don't always bother for very short articles. I hope that's helpful! Stephen Turner (Talk) 13:51, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Paul, When you get a chance, could you merge a couple of my biographies, AM Smith and Timothy Andrew Lloyd, into yours- they have quite alot of background info which might be useful. Thanks, rob77

WP:AFL

Hi Paul, was wondering if you are interested in joining WikiProject AFL. I noticed that you have a link to Rleague on your userpage, is that the site that you personally run? Rogerthat 03:17, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Let me just say that is a brilliant site. I use it extensively on this site when creating player profiles - if you look at many pages on here (i'll give you some examples - Rory Hilton, Nathan Buckley, Anthony Rocca)) they all have links to the player's stats page on Rleague AFL Tables.

Also, do you plan to add any statistics prior to the 1993 season on your site? Rogerthat 03:38, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

That's fair enough, the main reason I asked is to fill in details of players like James Hird and Peter Riccardi, who debuted in 1992 or prior. Perhaps if you could tell me the dates of their debut (date, ground, round, versus, etc) for certain articles you come across.

Also do you think it would be worthwhile to have pages such as List of AFL players to have played more than 300 games, considering your site already covers this? You can always convert your HTML tables easily by using this site. Cheers, Rogerthat 03:52, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Can I sign my name at the bottom of Roger's "Let me just say that is a brilliant site" too? It has been helping me in my tipping comps for years. Drew (Snottygobble | Talk) 04:00, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Drew. This season it will be 8 years old. --Paul 04:21, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I don't see much point myself in totalling the results for every season of AFL when Rleague and allthestats have that covered. But I think we should at least include some of the key records, such as games record holders at each club perhaps? If we want to include stuff on here it should at the least combine two sources. I suggest we get all the AFL Draft details up as well, at the moment I've only got the 1998 AFL Draft (which, BTW, I found printed out a couple of weeks ago when I conducted a house cleanout). Rogerthat 04:34, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the stubs!

These will come in handy, as they are much better than the ones I was generating. On most of the bios I'm doing, I'm trying to add a bit more color for at least the better known cricketers and hopefully one day all... my theory being that there has to be something interesting in any man's life which merits inclusion in a bio. This, of course, is a lot of work and it's not possible to automate, and the stubs you sent me can be a good start in probably every case. Ok if I start uploading some of them to the undone Windies cricketers?

Also, might I ask how you've been generating these files? I have tried a couple of things, including Excel, but the results have been less than satisfatory. I guess in theory one could write a Perl script (or similar) off the raw data on the list of cricketers page, but I didn't want to get into all that right now... it's been a while since I've used that kind of language (I just write a bunch of C code these days) and I know I'd have to get back up to speed. --Deville 15:21, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Good enough, maybe one day I'll try and write some code for some of these other country's player pages, or maybe if people decide we need all the series pages. I did some VB back in the day, but it's been a while. ;-) Anyway, I think I'll make some more bios later today, and I'll just add on to some of the stubs you sent me, if that's ok. --Deville 18:11, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Vegan Vandal

The Vegan Vandal, for what it's worth. I was just saying that I think it's OK to throw the baby out with the bathwater in a case like this -- yes, s/he makes some legitimate (if usually pretty trivial) edits on cricket subjects, but the vast majority of his/her work is tedious, malicious vandalism and I revert on sight.

deletion?

Hey, should we then delete Winston White?

I put it up on AfD, I imagine it should disappear in the next few days. Thanks for fixing this! --Deville 16:42, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

A random little thanks...

Hi *Paul*, I've been watching the New Pages for a while and have seen a lot of your contributions on it. Just want to extend a little thanks for your dedication to wikipedia at all hours (or so it seems). Anabanana459 07:10, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Infoboxes

Well done! Johnlp 17:00, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Non Test ODI template

Yeah tell me what you think? Is it necessary or should we just edit the existing ones. The problem it I found existing ones a bit unsuited and editing them cumbersome. I fixed the Test/First class mismatch on the template though. Lesliestng 02:23, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Kenyan ODI Bios

Hi Paul! Seems like we both can share the stubmaster title!! Anyway while creating the Kenyan stubs I noticed that none of the players have infoboxes( except the stubs I have now created). Even players like Maurice Odumbe & Steve Tikolo dont have infoboxes. Can you do something about it?

Thanks

Jason Taylor (Australian rules footballer)

Hi mate, I quickly categorised Jason Taylor, take a look to see how the categorising of players works as part of WP:AFL. Also include an Rleague link for players who made their debut after 1993. Cheers, R o gerthat 11:12, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Jebus Christ

Hi Paul,

I was wondering if you'd be interested in signing my petition to have my User:Jebus Christ username reinstated. You mentioned in Talk:Rugby league that you thought the user name blockage was petty. I'm currently campaigning to get it back. I'd be greatfull for your support. The petition is on my talk page: User talk:Jebus Christ

Thanks,

Jimididit 23:59, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your support. I just discovered that the user who complained about my username has been involved in protecting the mahamad cartoons article from vandalism. I find that somewhat hypocritical. Jimididit 10:39, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Touch

Sorry Paul but your recent edits at Football are incorrect. See the long and messy discussion at Talk:Touch football (rugby league). What people in Europe usually mean when they refer to "touch rugby" is the code that Australians call Touch or touch football. There are different versions of touch rugby and the Australian-invented Touch is the most popular form worldwide; unlike Australians, Europeans generally refer to both union and league as "rugby". Grant65 | Talk 13:05, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

I understand your frustration, but we need to use terms, and explain things in ways, that cause the least confusion for people in different countries. And the game that we call Touch is called "touch rugby" in Europe and the US. Hence the compromise title for the article: Touch football (rugby league). Grant65 | Talk 13:42, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Deletion Proposal

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Dulip Samaraweera, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not and Misplaced Pages:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Misplaced Pages, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Dulip Samaraweera. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Fair use rationale for Image:Bfirmannqvpr.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Bfirmannqvpr.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Image:CatrionaRowntreeGetaway.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CatrionaRowntreeGetaway.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

If the image 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 that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

Unspecified source for Image:HaleAndPaceCat.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:HaleAndPaceCat.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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use.

Orphaned non-free media (File:MinderCredit.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:MinderCredit.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" 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. BJBot (talk) 05:06, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi! We're having a Canberra Wikimeetup on 20 November 2011 at Siren Bar in Gunghalin from 2pm to 4pm. It's most just a chance to chat with other local Wikipedians, get a chance to go a different sort of bar (which is reasonably kid friendly, serves real food, and has non-alcholic options), and, if you're interested, learning more about what Wikimedia Australia and local GLAM projects are happening.

Speedy deletion nomination of Shadab Kabir

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Shadab Kabir, requesting that it be deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Misplaced Pages has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Misplaced Pages:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Niket ★ My Talk Page ★ 12:07, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Lauriedaleystatuebruce.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Lauriedaleystatuebruce.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 Misplaced Pages. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.
