Your edits to Ian Bell[edit]

Please stop adding the information about the 'Sherminator' nickname. At the moment I think that you are making it up, but I would happily be shown that I am incorrect. If you can find a suitable citation for the fact, then you are welcome to re-add the information. Until then, I will continue to revert your changes. Ollie 03:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am not making up the info re Ian Bell being given the nickname. It was a sledge given to him by Warne in the current test and is being reported on Cricinfo etc. Cheers --165.228.217.234 04:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Could you provide a link to that because I can't find this myself. You must forgive my skeptisism, but content on Wikipedia must be verifiable (published by a reliable source) and not just hear-say. If you want, I can give you a hand to add the fact to article, along with its citation. Thanks for your understanding in this! Ollie 04:36, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No problems - I understand. Well, there is this: http://www.theage.com.au/news/sport/jones-dad-taunt-as-warne-turns-up-ashes-heat/2006/12/04/1165080878544.html and this: http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ausveng/engine/current/match/249223.html - talked about in the preamble to the fifth day's play in the comments. --165.228.217.234 04:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent. So now you can go ahead and add something to the article, and include the reference. I would use the one from The Age, as it's easier to see where the information comes from. (I realise now that you linked to the scorecard one earlier, i just didn't look far enough to see the relevant part - sorry!).
You can add the reference by typing [http://www.theage.com.au/news/sport/jones-dad-taunt-as-warne-turns-up-ashes-heat/2006/12/04/1165080878544.html] after the fact, which gives this [1]. You can read more about references and different ways of adding them at WP:REF if you are interested.
