Talk:Indian spin quartet

message: I don't agree with the sentiment of this article that the Indian spin quartet rates alongside the West Indian pace attack of the 1980s.  While the Indian spin quartet was no doubt a successful combination for India, I don't think you could really place them in the same league as Roberts, Holding, Garner, Marshall, Croft, et al of the West Indies.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikischolar1983 (talk • contribs) 04:00, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:History of English cricket (1726–1750)

message: Hello. The merger is underway now but, although it should not "take years" (unlike some mentioned at WP:MERGE), it is a long-term task and I have other things to do. I will keep at it, though. I've done 1726, 1727 and 1763 but there were a lot of problems in the history article that still haven't been completely resolved, especially the lack of citations. 
The important thing to note about merging is attribution, so that copyright is not infringed. Also, page histories and early contributions must not be lost. It is therefore essential to comply with WP:MERGE, even to the point of using the prescribed edit summary. If anyone else wishes to merge one of the reviews, please make sure you do exactly what the guide says. Thanks. No Great Shaker (talk) 12:51, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger progress 

message: There is a lack of synch across early cricket articles. List of early English cricketers to 1771 has a later threshold to its successor that seems more logical given references to first-class cricket beginning in 1772. It looks as if 1763 was chosen to close the history because the Seven Years War ended then, but that is a poor choice because the war ended in the opening weeks of the year – a long time before the cricket season started!
I can't see any good cricket reason for using 1763 as an end date but a very good one for using 1771 if a new standard began in the following season. So, unless anyone objects by tomorrow evening, I'll move this article to History of cricket (1726–1771) and the next to History of cricket (1772–1815). Thanks again.

thread_title:  Span 

message: Repeating the message I've posted at Talk:History of cricket (1772–1815). Following recent discussion of this period with the third parties who assisted me at 1744 English cricket season, I think it was a mistake to merge 1772 English cricket season. That was a significant year in the sport's history because match scorecards became the rule rather than the exception; and the season is widely considered to mark the beginning (albeit unofficially) of first-class cricket. I'm therefore undoing the merger to retain the article as an independent review of 1772, as for 1744. The summary in the 1772–1815 history is useful, however, and I'll leave that be.

replies: text: I'm not a native speaker, but I'm pretty sure the first two sentences need to be rewritten. I currently says that the "double single [was] released on his 2002 album Bunkka", but a 'double single' is already a release type by itself. The next sentence says that "it" features vocals by Carla Werner. It would be more precise to say that Southern Sun includes those vocal, because Ready Steady Go has only a male voice. Next, it says "Remixes by DJ Tiësto appear on the single release and [...]", but (what is "the" single release and) is there really a DJ Tiësto remix of Ready Steady Go on it or just of Southern Sun? --82.171.70.54 (talk) 18:18, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Timeless non-Tests 

message: As someone that isn't a expert, or even knowledgeable, in cricket, I was confused by the first line saying "the match is played until one side wins or the match is tied, with theoretically no possibility of a draw", given that in many (most?) sports a "tie" and a "draw" mean the same thing.
I understand on further searching that they have specific meanings in cricket, but perhaps some sort of clarification could be added to the lead to avoid similar confusion for others? 155.190.13.13 (talk) 04:31, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: Reykjanesskagi is the formal word and Suðurnes is the colloquial. But officially, Reykjanes is merely the „heel“ of the peninsula, the most southwestern part of Reykjanesskagi. Reykjanes is sometimes colloquially used for the entire peninsula, but to avoid confusion with Reykjanes, Suðurnes is preferred.—SvartMan (talk) 22:56, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reykjanes / Suðurnes 

message: The Guardian "could cause disruption for centuries" article: "Since 21 January, the Reykjanes peninsula south-west of Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, has experienced more than 8,000 earthquakes and about 10cm of land uplift due to magma intrusions underground. .. Geological evidence shows the area is fed by five volcanic systems, which seem to come to life in a coordinated way roughly every 1,000 years."
Current version: "The area is fed by five volcanic systems; geological evidence suggests that they seem to activate in a coordinated way about every 1,000 years.
In the twelve weeks from 21 January 2020, after centuries of relative inactivity, there were more than 8,000 earthquakes and about 10cm of land uplift due to underground magma intrusions on the peninsula, leading to concerns of a new phase of activity which could cause disruption for centuries."

message: Should be merged with Reykjanes. They are different names for the same region. Gnarristi (talk) 16:42, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, Suðurnes is just an administrative unit and as such only part of Reykjanesskagi (Reykjanes Peninsula). Also there is a lot of small peninsulas in addition which also are called "Reykjanes" in Iceland, eg. the Reykjanes in Ísafjarðardjup.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 09:41, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The Reykjanes which is linked to, is actually again something else, it is the southwesternmost part of Reykjanesskagi, also just a part of the Reykjanes (big) Peninsula. The names should also be explained, "smoking small peninsula" (obviously a lot of them in Iceland), Reykjanesskagi would then be "smoking big peninsula".Hornstrandir1 (talk) 09:45, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

text: That's not right. Reykjanes has tradionally either referred to either (1) a small peninsula at the "heel" or (2) a much larger peninsula that is bounded in the north by Hvalfjörður and thus includes all of the Greater Reykjavík area as well. Suðurnes also used to refer to a smaller area than it now does. I agree though that the use of these terms have been converging on to the same general area. --Bjarki (talk) 07:53, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

text: Another note is that Suðurnes is actually plural in Icelandic so a verbatim translation would be Southern Peninsulas (which I'm not sure is a proper thing to do here). The term refers to several smaller peninsula on the outer Reykjanesskagi. --Bjarki (talk) 08:15, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Sawi language (Papuan)

message: The only information in this article comes from a 1974 book  called "Peace Child" by fundamentalist Christian missionary Don Richardson.  Mr. Richardson is better known for writing several poorly researched books about Jesus Christ appearing in other, non-related religions and one of the many post 9/11 books about how evil Islam really is.  He has no relevant education; he studied linguistics at a Christian-sponsored school for missionaries, but has no degree.  I have serious doubts about the claim that the Sawi religion has "19 tenses for every verb" in "Peace Child" and I think he was probably inflating the difficulty of learning the language for his own glorification UNLESS he didn't mean tenses marked in the verb alone - and if he's using this definition the claim is unremarkable as English has over 30 tenses by that definition.  I think this article was created to corroborate the questionable claims in the Don Richardson article and should probably be deleted.  69.154.76.219 02:31, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The fact that there are no other sources does not make the one source cited here more credible.  I have no information specifically on the Sawi language, but closely related languages such as Asmat are better documented and don't have anywhere near this level of compexity.  I did not delete the entire entry, only the section about the number of tenses which is obviously inaccurate (Mr. Richardson's book claims that every verb had 19 tenses, and even in languages that do have large number of verb tenses not all of those tenses could apply to EVERY verb).  This claim about the language's complexity can only be found in one fictionalized book which is full of inconsistencies.  69.154.76.219 17:28, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Could someone who has a copy of Peace Child say whether this book has any further detail about the apparently highly unique Sawi language?  If we are going to leave the "19 tenses for every verb" claim in the article, we should bring it up the the standard of other language articles that go into detail about the grammar of the language, i.e. explain what each of these 19 tenses are and how they are indicated in the verbs (i.e. inflection, suffix or prefix, modifying words) so this claim has some context.  69.154.76.219 13:41, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I missed that someone has added some more information about the verb tenses before my last edit.  This is an improvement over the way it was when I first brought up these questions, now could we get some more information about what tenses this language has?  69.154.76.219 13:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

" Statto's stats pay off as sports data firm sold in £47m deal
Gideon Spanier Thursday 4 July 2013 00:02 BST
The television betting guru Angus Loughran is nicknamed "Statto" because of his love of sporting statistics but now he has proved there is good money in it too, as he has profited from the sale of the sports data firm Opta.
Mr Loughran, who was declared bankrupt in 2008 but has kept working, was one of nearly 100 small shareholders who invested in Opta, which was sold yesterday for up to £47m to Perform Group" 
(Rest of the article is about the company not him.)
 No idea what's happened to him in the last 5 years, was just doing a quick google to see if he was even still alive - can't find any proof of this online but I swear some point in the last 5-10 years I walked past a local betting shop (no idea which chain it was now, sorry ) and saw an advertising campaign on the front of the shop that had him back in his famous dressing gown.2A00:23C5:5674:DD00:39DD:2B1B:4586:CE08 (talk) 19:56, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Danish Gambit

message: This article contains some incorrect conclusions about the Danish Gambit.  
1. 3...Qe7 is probably the best reply by Black.  
2. Schlechter's approach was classically thought to be the right one for Black, and it's true that this is a major reason why people stopped playing the Gambit.  However GM Keres repeatedly pointed out (most notably in the Encyclopedia of Chess Openings) that White can continue the attack with 7.Nc3!, for example 7...Nxd5 8.Nxd5 Nd7 (8...c6? 9.Nf6+!) 9.Nf3 c6 10.O-O! when White will develop a blistering attack.  
I want to expand this article but will research the chess portal's guidelines on how much information to include first.  
Also, on the subject of notability, there are hundreds of books on this Gambit and it's not just of interest to Grandmasters -- so I'm glad they decided not to delete it!!
Erik 12:45, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with the above, but think White will still be okay after 3...Qe7 because there is still an attacking position with perhaps 2 tempo's and bishop pair for a pawn. SunCreator (talk) 11:53, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
