Thanks for your your contributions to Pakistan national cricket team, but...

Some of your edits may be unnecessary. I don't want to start an edit war, but I think that in an information box (top right hand side), abbreviations are much better. For example:

First Test match v India at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi, 16-18 October 1952

reads better than

First Test match v India at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi in India. From 18-16 October 1952

It's all about conciseness and reducing clutter; at least as far as I'm concerned. The corrections you made would be fine in the text body, just kind of pointless in titles and in the info box. If you agree, then I'd appreciate it if you undid your additions, as you know better where they are located. Thanks.

PS: I second the advice given by User talk:Managerarc. Take care, and thanks for using Wikipedia! bigforrap (talk) 16:49, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

May 2010

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in pakistan national cricket team. There is a Manual of Style that should be followed. Thank you. Some of your edits can be considered improvements of the writing already on the page, but some are just, lightly put, 'waffle'. I'm not concerned how you spend your time on Wikipedia, edit whatever you wish. But not everything needs editing. Sometimes, being short and concise is better than putting things into long sentences, conveying the same information. By all means work for the greater good, but I would like to discuss this issue with you. Ignoring messages is not the way to go...

Glad to have you here though :)
