message: Do people find the messages on their user page that they've got the right answer helpful? I'm inclined to think we don't need them, unless the winner has gone 24 hours without asking a new question maybe. Stephen Turner 20:50, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I too believe that we do not need them. Most of the time the person answering is sure about his answer. However, the person who asks the question needs to be around to say "over to you" - which may be aminor irritant, given that we operate across timezones. --Gurubrahma 08:30, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I was just noticing that the sum of the scores is 100 but it claims to be up to Q104.  This might be deliberate (it's possible four questions went unanswered) but it could also be a mistake.  Sorry to nitpick, but I'm always checking sums.. it's an ocupational hazard  ;-)   --Deville 04:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think some of them weren't ever answered. It could be as many as four, although that seems a little too high. Of course, if there is an error, it will continue to propagate. It's not easy to correct this, unless someone is motivated enough to go through all the previous questions and add them up again — and is it really worth it?

replies: text:  But maybe we could have a category of "unanswered" at the bottom to reassure people, and to check that the tally doesn't drift further. Stephen Turner (Talk) 11:18, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Qs 84 and 87 were both in the style of serial musings rather than interrogation, and probably account for two of the missing ones. Perhaps we should move these and any other unanswereds across to this discussion page. Johnlp 12:16, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think no-one got credit for Q6 either. Stephen Turner (Talk) 12:34, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm convinced there are probably four, so I've added it to the scorecard. Stephen Turner (Talk) 15:08, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've done several of the tallyboard updates and am notorious for bad arithmetic so if there's a mistake it's probably mine.  I think I'll let others do that in future. -- Ian ≡ talk 15:13, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Um, this should all be over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Quiz, surely?  What is Wikipedia:Cricket? -- ALoan (Talk) 14:45, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Whoever set it up was confused. Stephen Turner (Talk) 15:12, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well it was originally, but it was agreed to move it here   -- Ian ≡ talk 06:51, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It was at WP:Cricket/Quiz and it moved to Wikipedia:Cricket/Quiz but it should be at Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Quiz. Stephen Turner (Talk) 09:51, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I noticed this when I was setting up the archive template.  All of the archives should be moved too... -- ALoan (Talk) 11:18, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
