Stuart Broad Book[edit]

As it's called "How We Regained the Ashes", I wondered if it should be under "Test cricket" rather than "Biographies". As an aside, does that website really have permission to publish the book in full, as it surely must still be under copyright? Still, that's their problem, not ours.

Hi @Jhall1:. Sorry I'm late replying here, I didn't realise this page wasn't on my watchlist! I agree, I'll move the Broad book to the Test cricket section. I have wondered how Archive.org have some of those books on there, but as you say, that's their problem, we'll just take full advantage of some freebie sources!!!

The Wikipedia Library[edit]

"Please lend your support here in our efforts to have Cricket Archive added as a library partner..." So I duly clicked on "here", which brought up a page with a form, but I wasn't clear how it should be filled in. What should I put in the box for "Web address", for instance? And should I first click on the "login" link in the top left corner of the page. If I do, what will I be logging into? Also how will filling in the form help with getting CricketArchive added as a partner? (As it happens, I'm already an individual member.) JH (talk page) 17:57, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out too. I should give better instructions than 'click here and go figure'! I'll write a bit about how to register an account, then where to find the CA suggestion. PS: Nice to see the BNA suggestion doing well. StickyWicket (talk) 21:42, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
