Ok

We will update the stats daily, sorry I couldn't alert all the users because something in real life distracted me. Let's hope I can survive elimination. The sunder king 19:57, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Polymers in sports balls

I believe almost all sports balls are made of polymers. The exceptions would be certain kinds of lawn bowling that use metallic balls (bocce and pétanque come to mind), and any game that uses stone balls, though I can't think of one off the top of my head.

Take golf balls, for instance: they used to be made of wood, which is a composite of cellulose fibers in a matrix of lignin and hemicellulose. Then, they were made of leather (mostly collagen) stuffed with feathers (mostly keratin). There was then a revolution, in which gutta percha became the fashionable choice. For years, I believe most of the mass of a golf ball was vulcanized polyisoprene, but now I think each high-end company makes its own trade-secret synthetic rubber that's engineered to have a more-rapid viscoelastic response. I'm not sure what the shell is made of.

Croquet balls are made of wood. Bowling balls are made of cork (cellulose again), I believe, with a polyurethane skin.

Most other balls are made with a bladder of vulcanized polyisoprene, covered in leather if they're nice, or some synthetic imitation of leather such as plasticized polyvinyl chloride, soft polyurethane, or more vulcanized polyisoprene.

Baseballs are wound plant cordage (cellulose, yet again) covered in leather.

Hope this helps.

I think tommorow, by the way I am trying to enter the next tourtenment but I can't seem to get the flag I want onto your template. Can you add me on to the next tourtenment with the flag Brazil? The sunder king 20:55, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WIKIcup

HI, according to kates tool i have 576 mainspace edits, but i only have 177 marked on the table, how is this. thanks.--Sunderland06 20:51, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No it doesn't work like that, the points come from your edits to "mainspace" articles, combined with the number of unique pages. The sunder king 13:14, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But the group stage is over! The sunder king 13:09, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, thanks for removing the notice about Gazh. His sockpuppetry case has been closed thanks to my comment that the two accounts had not made any edits which were violating WP:SOCK reguardless if they are the same person are not. The sunder king 13:23, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Martin Jol's resignation on Premier League 2007-08

The wording seems fine to me. The fact that there are two sentences in there should make it quite plain that Juande Ramos resigned the day previous to the one mentioned in the same sentence (I hope that made as much sense to you as it did to me!). - PeeJay 20:51, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Broken Redirects

Hi. First, nice userpage. Second, are you the user formerly known as User:Chaza93? If you are, there are many sub-pages from this old username which redirect to non-existent pages (see Special:BrokenRedirects). What would you like to do with these old pages? We could either delete them or you could create the relevant link to an existent page with your new username. What would you like to do? Thanks. - Mtmelendez (Talk) 13:13, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments added to the talk page with GA in mind. All the best... The Rambling Man 17:19, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, multiple references to the same external link is fine. Let me know if I can help. The Rambling Man 20:34, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You need to name the precise article which the image is used in for a correct fair rationale. The Rambling Man 11:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Liverpool v Monaco.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Liverpool v Monaco.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
