What is this stat ? From what I  can find, he has never batted at No.4 in Tests and was out for 1 on the only occasion in ODIs  Tintin 03:38, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Subsequent" 

message: I don't want a couple of my FAC comments to be lost:  
* a career summary table (batting/bowling figures against the other Test nations, like those at the bottom of Paul Collingwood and [[Adam Gilchrist]) would be good
*a batting Manhattan graph is unlikely to be very instructive, but what about a similar thing for bowling average?
But congratulations to the authors on a fine featured article :)  -- ALoan (Talk) 11:12, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Isn't it obvious? There are several types of protests like strike, rioting, public nudity, petitions, peaceful demonstrations, burning effigies etc. Indians prefer the last one when the protest is directed at a particular person.--Mellisa Anthony Jones (talk) 02:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ponting 

message: I don't see how calling someone a "monkey" is racial abuse. It is no doubt abuse, but it bears no racial connatation in my mind. Maybe that should be cleared up, or an explonation could be added how the jury or the media got to that conclusion. Thanks, (74.134.124.3 (talk) 18:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If it is not racial abuse, then why was it only used toward the only black player in the Aus team? Very disingenous approach. Grow up.

replies: text: I think under "western culture" it is deemed as quite offensive but I think in South Asian culture if he did say it, its more accepted as being cheeky. Also personally I think its just alot of bull-dust being created.

message: Please guys, he is not even near to be called good off spinner. There are 100's off spinner who have played the game ahead of him in terms of class and records. So if some one feels that he is. Please provide citation instead of writing your personal judgment.  Harbhajan is Controversial King and the most disgraceful cricketer ever played for the great nation Indian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Parthakr (talk • contribs) 
:I don't know whether you're an ignorant person, or merely a troll, but here are some links you might like to go through:
:*The Times of India: "The 'Turbanator' Harbhajan Singh is India's most successful off-spin bowler."
:*Cricinfo: "India's most successful offspin bowler"
:*Reuters: "Harbhajan is one of his country’s most successful spin bowlers"

thread_title: Controversial King

message: Dear Editors! There has been a discussion on India Portal related to mentioning of caste of subjects. The point is that mentioning caste of people, who have nothing to do with their caste, is found to be unnecessary by few editors. Hence the caste of the subject person needs to be deleted from the biography. I am not deleting the caste as of now but am only posting this here so that the regular editors of this article are well aware of it beforehand and no edit-wars take place. For details of discussion held on the portal please refer Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics#Mentioning_caste_of_Individuals. Your views if any are welcome there or even here.  And.... as the reasons of exclusion of caste pointed out were "irrelavant to notability of subject person", "privacy of the subject person", "inclusion of caste is like branding individuals", etc. other information included in the article which also fall under these cases will also be removed after discussions. Examples of it included religion, non-notable spouse's and children's and parents' information, previous occupation, lived in places, non-notability related educational qualification, etc.  Your views on this are also welcome here or at the India portal. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 16:41, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Not here, please. There is a community discussion taking place at WT:INB and I would advise people to read the entire discussion before forming an opinion because the above summary is incorrect. Nothing more need be said here. - Sitush (talk) 02:27, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Mentioning Caste

message: I've read the page and I think there should be a mention about suspicion of chucking, because there have been loads of official reports and investigations of him. Even though he cleared them all it at least should be mentioned. - hfkm 20:39 14 March 2012 (UTC).
:Did you notice that the second paragraph of the article states "His career was initially affected by investigations into the legality of his bowling action, as well as several disciplinary incidents" and under playing style "With a whippy bowling action, he was reported for throwing in November 1998. Although forced to travel to England for tests, his action was cleared by former English player Fred Titmus." Nev1 (talk) 20:44, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Mention of chucking

message: I have just removed the word Ramgarhia from the opening sentence of the Early life section. Although he self-identifies as a Sikh etc, the sources do not mention Ramgarhia, let alone show self-identification. Since that is a specific ethnicity, it represents a breach of WP:BLP. I realise that this is a FA but BLP vios should always be removed when spotted. Hope that this is ok. - Sitush (talk) 09:53, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  British spelling 

message: I think this article has major issues and is no longer a Featured Article. Unless major improvements are made, I think we need to take this to Featured Article Review. The main points here:
*There are numerous unsourced statements. This is a BLP which makes this a major problem.
*There are prose issues throughout, and I'm not sure this would pass FAC today; lots of run-on sentences and repetitive structures. Someone should look closely at this.
*The lead basically stops in 2008 and has nothing for the last eight years
*"Harbhajan Singh married his longtime girlfriend, actress Geeta Basra, on 29 October 2015 in Jalandhar." is listed in "Early Life"
*There is hardly anything about his career between 2011 and 2015
*The structure of the article is fairly impenetrable.
*The later text is basically prose line.
*Quite a lot of fancruft throughout.
*These are the changes since the article was last at FAR. Sarastro1 (talk) 21:23, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
