[edit] Kolkata Knight Riders

Shah Rukh Khan had said in an interview in The Telegraph immediately after he bought the team that he wanted to name his team after his favourite television show, The Knight Riders. I will post the link to that interview by tomorrow in your talk page and in the knight riders page.CSumit (talk) 09:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)CSumit

[edit] Excerpt from the discussion on Template talk:Limited Overs Matches

LeaveSleaves, I have posted this excerpt from the discussion on Template talk:Limited Overs Matches, because I feel it is relevant to your future conduct in debates on wikipedia:

Since my last post I have further investigated cricket pages in wikipedia and have some further remarks about the issue of the ordering of teams in score summaries. It has become clear to me that the accepted format for presentation of scores, both for matches involving one innings per side and two, is to list the side batting first as the first team (rather than the home team). I refer you to the current template for use in two innings per side matches here: Template:Test match. In its talk page, the first point that is made after the presentation of the template itself is this: "Team1 should be the team batting first." (emphasis as found on the talk page). All 3 demonstrations of the template on that talk page have the team batting first as the team listed first even though in all 3 cases the team batting first is the away team. For matches with only one innings per side, I refer you to these 3 prominent examples: 2003 Cricket World Cup, 2007 Cricket World Cup and 2007 ICC World Twenty20. In the score summaries for every match on these 3 pages, the side listed first is the side which batted first.

However, in my discussions with you, you have repeatedly claimed that the formatting which I advocated, of listing the first team as the team which batted first, should be reverted because of your knowledge that this went against the accepted consensus on this issue. As I have demonstrated, the claim you made was patently untrue. In debates, I do not mind differences of opinion or even honestly mistaken beliefs. However, when someone seeks to represent that their argument is the one to be accepted because they know that the consensus supports their position, when in fact they cannot know this because the accepted consensus position is in actuality contrary to their position, this type of debate unacceptable. It wastes my time, your time, the time of other wikipedians, and leads to a lower quality wikipedia.

I recognise that you, like me, seek to improve the quality of wikipedia, and I recognise that you have made many valuable contributions to wikipedia. However, I must insist that you do not resort to these types of conterproductive debating techniques in the future.

[edit] Rahul is a Christian

COngress Zindabad. Our beloved leader and future Prime Minister of India Rahul Gandhi is a Christian. What's wrong in it. Should we not express if he belongs to a minority religion. The act of reverting is communal, anti-secular and anti-congress. It is clear attack on our christian community. Communal and anti-scular elemesnts are hindering India and crushing minorities.Jai COngress, Jai sonia....I ask explanation from you why you have reverted my edits.79.143.129.9 (talk) 22:46, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I am sorry

I am sorry if my comments are hurting but atleast can you accept that Robert Vadera is a christian. He is brother-in-law of Rahul. Are you Indian, if not can you give me contacts of Indian Wikipedia moderators so that I can resolve this issue with them as this article is an Indian related person.79.143.129.9 (talk) 14:01, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I apologize for reverting edits on Robert Vadra. And it's irrelevant for you to contact an Indian moderator for an article on an Indian. He/she would still tell you the same thing I told you. Stick to WP:BIO. LeaveSleaves (talk) 14:12, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 2008 IPL Article

If you don't object, I plan to copy the whole discussion between us and post it verbatim on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2009 Indian Premier League. This might be informative for other editors. Juwe (talk) 19:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't exactly agree. AfD discussions should be far more succinct. Plus I feel we both wandered off a little in that discussion (at least I did), particularly on the multiple tournaments a year part. I'd like to start afresh, and would request you to only address the points mentioned in the AfD reason. LeaveSleaves (talk) 19:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

OK, that is fine. I will however link to the discussion, as I think it gives the context as to how the AfD page came about. Juwe (talk) 19:41, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Oops, sorry

I was just trying to fix grammar/typing issues on the RoT page. They're now still there apparently :( 75.38.16.56 (talk) 03:55, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Um EXCUSE　ME???

You reverted MY edits?? And you still haven't noticed all the vandalism that the other guy did??? how incompetent! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.247.169.26 (talk) 03:53, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
