Overview Googly75

I used to edit on Wiki a few years ago but for the life of me can't remember my passwords. Particularly interested in general Cricket articles and the intricacies and history of the game. Nasser Hussain and Graham Gooch are pages i want to enhance, modern players seem to have dedicated editors, the older and sometimes better players do not.

I also feel there needs to be certain anglophilication to Wikipedia - for example do we really need to refer back to baseball when we talk about cricket and it's types of play? This applies to other sections of Wikipedia, a source for the whole world, not just the views of America.

caps in bulleted lists

Hi, usually not, if it's a single sentence. Sorry to revert. If you disagree, please let me know. Tony (talk) 13:39, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tony - it was to make it conform with the whole of the article. All bullets that come after a : (colon) list in this article are capitalised, except the section i changed - this is for consistency, take a look Googly75 (talk) 14:28, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've also found some instances in which you have closely paraphrased sources so that their copyrights have been infringed. Make sure to avoid this, as it is illegal. NTox · talk 00:45, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What a fucking prick. Googly75 (talk) 18:24, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Googly, my intention was not to come off as rude and disrespectful - I feel bad that this has happened. Except for the last sentence, I was simply using a templated message that we send to all editors as a matter of course, when we find copyright violations. I did not type that message myself. Wikipedia, as you no doubt are aware, has quite a problem with copyright issues, which hurts our credibility. For that reason, our community has decided to be quite strict about the issue, even when those involved are experienced editors. Perhaps our templated message is too harsh; I will consider bringing that point up on a discussion page. The message was not intended to bely the good contributions you have made to that page - I saw many of them myself as I was checking the page and was impressed with your work. Again, I feel bad about this, and want to emphasize that I was simply placing a standard warning template. I will remember this - perhaps it will be better to write personalized messages instead, when these issues arise in the future. NTox · talk 19:46, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: City Sprint (January 22)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Jcc was:

Looking at the sources, both the ones you've provided and elsewhere online, I think this is fundamentally notable enough to meet Wikipedia's guidelines for inclusion- so that's the hard bit past. It's unfortunate then that rest of the article could be mistaken for a company website or an advert, which is what Wikipedia is not- adverts belong on company websites, not Wikipedia.

Examples of advertorial language include "These include: ISO 14001:2004 ISO 9001:2008 ISO 27001:2013 FACT Certificate of accreditation Waste Carriers License Animals Transport License Animal By-product License FORS (Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme) bronze standard" which barely makes sense as a sentence since you've tried to jam so many awards in.

Another example is table of awards and acquisitions, which belongs on a company website and not here. Remove that too. Then there's a lot of subtle advertising, for example "industry first", the case studies, "market-leading". Basically a bit of work needs to be done to the text here, and I think the best way may be to have someone else uninvolved help you to look over it and point out all the advert-sounding bits.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:City Sprint and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:City Sprint, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: City Sprint (January 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KJP1 was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The company may well be notable, but this draft is an advertisement.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:City Sprint and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:City Sprint, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Bloop. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use the sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:20, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
