List of early English cricketers to 1786

I see that you've been working on this list. The Earl of Sussex article doesn't list one by the name of Thomas Dacre, so it looks as though HS Altham (given as the source) may have made a mistake with the name. Going by the date, it looks as though it possibly should be Thomas Lennard, 1st Earl of Sussex, but I'm not sufficiently confident to alter it to that. JH (talk page) 19:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

To reply to myself, further digging turned up the article Baron Dacre, which shows that Thomas Lennard, the 15th Baron Dacre, was created the Earl of Sussex in 1674, three years before the entry in the list of cricketers. Based on that, I'll change his entry to Thomas Lennard, 1st Earl of Sussex. JH (talk page) 19:47, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. JH (talk page) 08:27, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Alresford Cricket Club

BlackJack added the first 5 of the 6 References, as part of what seemed to be his standard set of references for all 18th century cricket articles. From their titles, it's not clear to me whether all of them would have anything to say about Alresford (1742-51 seems rather early, for instance). The only book that I actually referred to when creating the article was Arlott's. So I wonder if BlackJack's added references should be deleted, or at least moved to a Further Reading section? JH (talk page) 19:09, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

They should probably be deleted, though I haven't checked them. --BlackJack | ^{talk page} 20:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

18th century cricket

Hi. I'd like to point out that every single article about cricket up to 1787 was based on From Lads to Lord's; The History of Cricket: 1300 – 1787. Equally relevant to most of those articles is CricketArchive.

I've effectively granted permission to Wikipedia to use my site as a source on condition that the source is clearly acknowledged. But you've removed "From Lads to Lord's" as a source from several articles including Duke of Richmond that I've just been studying. Would you please put it back as an external source and not merely in one of your footnotes? The same applies to CricketArchive where that has a relevant page.

By the way, I don't see the point of footnotes unless they provide useful optional information or are used to qualify a direct quotation. Inline citations, as you call them, don't help the reader. I saw one article where you've literally got an A-Q for Ashley-Cooper in the references section. That's completely over the top.

If you want to reply, do so here. There's no point in jumping about from page to page. You're on my watchlist – so beware ;-)

Thanks. --BlackJack | ^{talk page} 20:25, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I admit I have been wrong in removing external sources and further reading lists in many articles. If you check my contributions, you will see that I reinstated them for all the season articles but I suppose I have not been quite so diligent with some biographies. You are quite right and I will make amends. My apologies.

Nevertheless, I must defend my decision to use inline citations which are, in any case, a site standard per WP:CITE. I admit that it looks clumsy to have an A-Q for Ashley-Cooper but at least it is confined to one line. I have seen other articles where the same source, differentiated only by a page number, is repeated ad nauseum over umpteen or more lines.

Do please reconsider your decision to leave the site. I have studied all the cricket articles up to 1772 so far and they are marvellous. I would never have expected to find any coverage of early cricket on here but it is positively comprehensive!

I do hope you will rejoin the project. Very best regards. --Jim Hardie (talk) 20:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I have gone through all the early cricket articles this morning and I think they all now link to FLTL and, where possible, to CA. Not all of the early cricketers have an entry in CA, of course. I daresay one or two have slipped past me but if you let me know of those when you spot them, I will correct them too. Best wishes. --Jim Hardie (talk) 08:07, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Margaret of Anjou

Yes Margaret was an interesting lady, especially when you consider she commanded knights and soldiers on the battlefield. Alas, I have no biographies of Margaret so I wasn't aware of her association with Pierre de Bréze. The article needs major work, I hope I did a good job on the paragraph about the beginnings of the Wars of The Roses. I also previously had altered her birth year from 1429 to 1430. Seeing as her sister Yolande had been born 2 November 1428, Margaret could not have been born March 1429. Anyway, The Encyclopedia Britannica clearly states that Margaret of Anjou was born 23 March 1430. I also mentioned her founding of Queens College. By the way, I had a friend from Fermanagh. I have never visited that county though.Cheers.jeanne (talk) 06:17, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, Jeanne. The article is looking much more complete now. I will try to do some more research during the next few days. Very best wishes. --Jim Hardie (talk) 08:07, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

You will have noticed I added a citation for the rumour that either the Duke of Somerset or Earl of Wiltshire fathered Prince Edward.I also read in "The Royal Consorts" by Anne Powers that Somerset had fathered Edward and Elizabeth Woodville as her lady-in-waiting had assisted the pair.No queen could commit adultery without the aid of a lady-in-waiting,hence, Anne Boleyn's obvious innocence.Cheersjeanne (talk) 11:42, 30 April 2008 (UTC).

Cricket season reviews

Jim, I'm working through all the season reviews to add a list of "first mentions", which will become "debutants", in each (i.e., those players mentioned for the first time in a major cricket context during that season).

Anyway, I've been comparing your work on articles up to 1772 with those from 1773 that you haven't updated yet. I readily acknowledge that the articles you have worked on are much better, especially your version of the match summary table. I've decided to adopt your template going forward. Well done. --BlackJack | ^{talk page} 07:26, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

History of cricket to 1725

I have Blackjack's talk page on my watchlist, so I noticed your message to him about this article. I believe that he's not visiting Wikipedia very often at present, so you may have to wait some time for a reply from him. As cricket history is an interest of mine, though I'm not an expert, I thought that I would put in my own two penn'orth. If the sources which the article references say that cricket probably originated in the Weald, then we clearly have to go with that. However I've always wondered what cricket historians have based this assertion on. We know that cricket was being played by boys in Guildford circa 1550, whereas the earliest definite reference to cricket in the area of the Weald (going by the article) seems to relate to "Weald and Upland" versus "Chalkhill" at Chevening sometime around 1610. It's notable that two other early references come from Wanborough and West Horsley, both places within five miles or so of Guildford. So it seems to me that one could make a reasonable case that the game might have originated in west Surrey rather than considerably further east. However living in Cranleigh, just 9 miles from Guildford, and having been born in Guildford, I could be a little biassed! JH (talk page) 20:54, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

I have found my copy of Start of Play written by David Underdown who allied his enthusiasm for cricket with his professional skills as a historian. His book is essentially about Hambledon but he goes back to basics and starts with the "prehistory". He is emphatic that we know nothing until Guildford circa 1550. But, in his view, cricket originated "among the peasantry" in "the forest counties of Surrey, Sussex and Kent". He only mentions the Weald in geographic terms which I will repeat: that it lay at the heart of these southeastern counties as "an ancient forest stretching across Kent and Sussex" while on either side of it were the chalk hills of the North and South Downs. All very accurately described (I am originally from the Tonbridge area, incidentally) and he goes on to present a historical overview of the region, albeit with no commitment beyond his view that the origin was somewhere in those three counties. As you say, the Guildford area is definitely a possible. Now, I agree with you that this site must reflect its sources because of the verification rules and it is therefore a case of which sources are used for verification. I have, after all, a copy of Underdown and so I should, if I chose to edit the article, cite that as my source. I will give this further thought. Kind regards. --Jim Hardie (talk) 21:07, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:13, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of W. Epps

The article W. Epps has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTCRIT #5 - sourced only to a 19th century book that is part of a series consisting primarily of match statistics - see 9th Edition for an example

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
