Vacation[edit]
Hey, I am out of here for next five or six weeks. Any questions or issues about cricket articles, refer them to WT:CRIC where someone else may be able to assist. Back in early March. Bill (talk) 05:57, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Lists[edit]
Enjoy your holiday. While you're away, if I have time (which is far from certain), I'll gently work through the lists of cricketers correcting dates so that we use only the dates when the individual cricketers played first-team cricket: first-class and List A. I think these lists should include List A players even where they did not appear in first-class cricket. The titles of the lists are "List of Fooshire CCC players", which does not distinguish between FC and List A, but should exclude lesser appearances, such as Minor Counties or second eleven, as we regard these as non-notable.

You are missed![edit]
Come back soon. --Dweller (talk) 14:33, 27 October 2015 (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.

Wilfred Jones[edit]
Hi Bill! Whilst making my great-grandad's wikipedia page, I noticed that the person who made the 'Wilf Jones' article was you, and i'm really interested in how you got this information, did you ever meet my great-grandad? Thank you! Bowen Cole (talk) 21:45, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
