message: In the 2000s secton, it says that 2004 - "The Doosra (Off-Spinners leg-break) of Muttiah Muralitharan is banned. Which was later reinstated at a later in that year. This was due to a study that stated that 99% of bowlers (except for Ramnaresh Sarwan) throw the ball." 
The first part is obviously clear but is the Ramnaresh Sarwan part a joke? 'DaGizza 08:15, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not part of a joke. I think it's referring to studies undertaken during the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy in England. 99% is too high, as only a handful of bowlers (both regular and irregular) were tested - but it was found that the overwhelming majority had some deliveries outside the then tolerance levels.

message: The following message was left on my talk page after I reverted the removal of Greece from the lead sentence. I'm copying it here to reply, since it's a question about the content of this article that others may wish to comment on:
:, thanks for your message. The text I was referring to in the edit summary is the very next sentence in the article:  It's for internal consistency in the article - whichever meaning of the word Balkans is used, it should at least be consistent. You say , but, unlike the common knowledge that Scotland is in the British Isles, there is widespread variation in whether the term "the Balkans" is meant as including Greece or not, depending on who is speaking and in what context. See the entry at Encyclopedia Britannica for example. A Google search for the term "Greece and the Balkans" gives over a million results, so it's not at all an unusual or fringe idea or usage. Since the article has been written consistently from that perspective - see also the "Common dishes" section - I don't see the value or need in removing Greece from the lead sentence. If you truly feel that it's too "politically loaded", and contravenes WP:NPOV, I suppose you could try rewriting the article to consistently use different terminology, but again I don't really see a pressing need for that. I hope that answers your question. --IamNotU (talk) 14:30, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Sheep farming

message: When this page was placed on the "Things you can do--Copyediting" section of the Community Portal, it was a compilation of information about small scale sheep farming.  Various people have improved it, but it still doesn't seem to be properly named.  Woulld it make sense to change the name to "Sheep Farming?"  If so, it could be further upgraded to be a fairly comprehensive description of various aspects of sheep farming. Sunray 22:34, 2004 Dec 25 (UTC)

Sheep producing: how is it measured ? in wool ? meat ? milk ? cheese ? Lysy 18:32, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Just what I was wondering! The FAO (agricultural wing of the UN), seem to measure it in indigenous sheep meat . In fact, that source is quite different to the unreferenced Top 10 shown in the article. I'll update to these stats unless anybody has a problem. Pseud 22:03, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sheep are a multi-purpose animal bred for wool, meat or milk. Best measure is in US Dollars added to export earnings! flock size is easy to measure but life expectancy of a fat lamb for meat production is often less than the time between "flock census". In Australia, changes in flock size are translated into income each tax year based on market values which again simply turns the flock numbers into a dollar value. Garrie 04:41, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Soldier 

message: Under this section the article states that Starzyński was murdered by the Gestapo, and that "The crime was committed by Gestapo functionaries Oberscharführer Hermann Schimmann, Hauptscharführer Weber, and Unterscharführer Perlbach."  The obvious problem with this statement is that the ranks mentioned for these men are Schutzstaffel (SS) ranks, not Gestapo ranks.  The Gestapo equivalent for an SS Oberscharführer is "Kriminalassistent".  The Gestapo equivalent for an SS Hauptscharführer is "Kriminaloberassistent".  The Gestapo equivalent for an SS Unterscharführer is "Kriminalassistentanwärter".  If the murder was carried out by these men and they were indeed Gestapo and not SS, then the ranks should be changed to reflect that.

Talk:Area codes 561 and 728

message: I don't think the description is correct; I believe until the 1990s all area codes had a 1 or 0 as the middle digit, so that 561 can't possibly be "one of the oldest area codes".  I currently live in Palm Beach County, but I've only lived here about five years, so I don't know its area-code history.
Dtobias 23:58, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: 305 split into 407 and 305 in 1988. In 1996, 407 itself split to become 407 and 561. In 2002, 561 split to become 561 and 772. (407 also split at other times; so did 305; but that's not relevant here.) All this information can be found at www.lincmad.com/newareacodes.html; the lincmad.com Web site has a wealth of information on area codes in the NANP.

replies: text: I'm amazed that you didn't get any response to your question since it obviously begged an answer. WP policy would generally be against edits of one's own article. I've offered to do one about an exceptional but largely unrecognized investigative reporter (I think that Van Gogh may never have sold a painting except to his brother, in his lifetime, though I may be misremembering this), but he preferred not to have one. Another superlative ditto with whose work I've been familiar for years mentioned to me that there were errors in his article, but he had abided by the COI protocol and avoided making corrections himself. I sorted that out and probably should have added even more to it. He sent me a note of appreciation. As far as your input is concerned, I'm guessing you didn't want to have your birth date on the article, or you would have put it there, rather than just the year of your birth. I was going to add Jane Mayer's to her article, and was able to source it, but figured she probably didn't want it there or would have done it herself or had someone else do it, so I left it out. Some of the biographical info you've added here would be very difficult to source, as only those to whom you've been personally familiar with would know about it, so there are those who would quibble with such unsourced edits. Some editors seem to live just to do such quibbling, as it may convey some sense of self-importance, without them making truly useful contributions. I'd written an article about reporter Maia Szalavitz (the first I'd ever created) and had a hell of a time finding it, eventually discovering it on NYC voter registration rolls.
