Removing redirects

Hi, thought you might not have realised but there is no need to "fix" redirects, in fact the practice is discouraged. See WP:NOTBROKEN for more info. DuncanHill (talk) 14:24, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

I had seen that and wondered if I was overdoing it. However it does say:

Reasons not to bypass redirects include: * Introducing unnecessary invisible text makes the article more difficult to read in page source form. * Non-piped links make better use of the "what links here" tool, making it easier to track how articles are linked and helping with large-scale changes to links.

both of which apply here. As background Lord's Cricket Ground was moved to Lord's as per WP:COMMONNAME with one of the supporting reasons being the number of [[Lord's Cricket Ground|Lord's]] links. Rather than replace [[redirect]] with [[target|redirect]], I'm trying to replace [[redirect|target]] with [[target]]. If this really is not appropriate, I'm very happy to stop. Spike 'em (talk) 19:05, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

In the case of Lord's I don't really have a view, it just came up in a couple of articles on my watch list. There are cases where it can cause confusion, especially if the "Common Name" is in reality more ambiguous than Wikipedia likes to think it is, or where it introduces a change in the national variety of English used in an article. There are cases where using the redirect makes it much easier to find and fix misdirected incoming links. By the way - by changing from "Lord's Cricket Ground" to "Lord's" you'll invalidate any future count of incoming links should the common name be questioned in future!

As I said, in this particular case I don't really have any problem with what you are doing, just wanted to make sure you were aware of the guidance. DuncanHill (talk) 19:15, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Looking into things a bit more, I think MOS:NOPIPE is more relevant to what I'm aiming to achieve (I've not edited anything using a straight redirect). Thanks for the advice, nonetheless. Spike 'em (talk) 19:47, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Just wanted to thank you for all the redirect work you're doing, Spike'em. We should have used Lord's from the beginning of CRIC with Lord's Cricket Ground as the redirect. I suppose the reason we didn't was because of the two earlier Lord's grounds and we wanted to disambiguate, but it was needless as they are commonly known now as the Old Ground and the Middle Ground. If you want any help, please let me know. All the best. Jack | ^{talk page} 14:33, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Name confusion about Greenfield International Stadium‬

Hi Spike 'em

This is the screenshot proof about the stadium name

Mail from Sports Hub Stadium Official

I contacted the stadium official. They said, "It was never Green Field stadium. It was only Green field project . Every one started calling it Green field stadium . Actual registered name is The Sports Hub, Trivandrum". The page name in wikipedia about the stadium is also wrong. The real name of the stadium is The Sports Hub.

You reverted my edit in wikipedia. but i was right. nothing wrong in my edit

I fully accept that there is confusion on the name, but the policy on Wikipedia is to follow what the sources use as per WP:UCN. Until the majority of sources call the ground The Sports Hub, then the article should stay where it is. They really need to tell this to the BCCI / Cricinfo / all the major Indian media sources. If they start referring to the ground as The Sports Hub, I would fully support moving the page / changing the text. I am trying to draft a section to put into the article to cover this. Spike 'em (talk) 10:58, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Okay Spike 'em, Then I am providing the front view of the stadium and source link. The actual name, Sports hub is written in front of the stadium.

Front view of The sports Hub

Source link of the news: The sports hub news

I accept all of this, but the point remains that Wikipedia goes by what is commonly used. I think this would be better off discussed at Talk:Greenfield International Stadium, as there is more input from other users there. Spike 'em (talk) 11:16, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

OK Good. And at the broadcasting time, the commentators used the word The sports Hub, not Greenfield. also the toss time. You can watch the video from highlights of the match

I have done so already as part of my research into this: I saw Sanjay Manjrekar welcoming everyone to The Sports Hub. Spike 'em (talk) 11:23, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

i am appreciating you. and i also wondered in your knowldedge about the stadium situated in my hometown

Histogram on Batting Average

Hi, thanks for asking about this on my talk page. Back in the day I used to work for CricInfo and had direct access to the stats database, so I downloaded the relevant stats and plotted them using Mathematica. I don't know how easy it is to get all of the necessary stats these days - i.e. if there's a bulk download available or if you'd have to somehow grab and compile them all manually. Sorry I cant be more help! --dmmaus (talk) 12:10, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Batting average

Hi, in generating the list, I used the API to download a list of all articles that link to batting average (backlinks), since that is what the bot is operating on. It returned 15,376 articles. This is somewhat less than the 18,000 you found via AWB. Can you describe how you generated the list, was it by category search, or string search, using the dump? -- GreenC 14:49, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

I just opened the last file I saved containing the articles that link to batting average, and it has 15,708 entries. I'll recheck my BOTREQ to see if I can explain where I might have got a different figure from. (If I do a search in AWB now, I get 15377). Spike 'em (talk) 15:18, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

My initial BotReq says I found just over 15k links to Batting average which I then split into 3k cricket and 12k baseball, so is it possible you've added 3 to 15 to get 18? Spike 'em (talk) 15:28, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Ah.. My fault sorry yes that's probably what happened. Good it sounds like our numbers are about in agreement. Thanks! -- GreenC 15:32, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Spike'em, check out Ian Johnston (cricketer) he has a wikilink [[Batting average#Cricket|average]]. How should the bot handle with a "#" .. leave as is? It could convert this particular case (and [[Batting average#Baseball|average]] and leave other #links as-is, but maybe there is a preference to link to the main batting average page? There were 4 like this in the 50 trials. -- GreenC 16:36, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

I've just added a message about this on the BOTREQ page, as I found similar in another pass through non-categorised articles! I'd convert those to links to the page for the sport. There seem to be some links to a non-existent section on the parent page too.Spike 'em (talk) 16:41, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

north american = national?

Hi, relating to Dave Lockwood, is a tournament that includes competitors from multiple countries (within the continent of North America) not international? Calling that national seems inappropriate, unless it truly only contained competitors from one country. Enwebb (talk) 18:39, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

I don;t think there are any tournaments that limit entries to a particular country, but in my experience (a while back) NATwA = US. I can't access the Chicago Tribune article you've linked to (it doesn't seem to like me being in Europe) so I can't see how they describe it. Spike 'em (talk) 18:57, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Patrick Barrie (who should be next on your list of winkers to create!) describes the ETWA and NATWA championships as "national" here. Spike 'em (talk) 19:21, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

The article says "At 12, Max was one of the youngest players ever to hold a world title. At 16, he currently is ranked 52nd in the world in tiddlywinks. But his brothers, Jon, 13, and Ben, 10, also have potential, their father said." Enwebb (talk) 20:59, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

I don't think this is true, he's only listed as losing one World Championship match on both IFTWA and ETWA websites. It may be worth trying to talk with RickTucker who I believe is still an active player. Spike 'em (talk) 22:00, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Per [1], The North American Tiddlywinks Association (NATwA) was formed in 1966 with founders from both USA and Canada. I think saying that it counts as an international title is accurate (and conversely, saying it is a national title is not). Enwebb (talk) 22:03, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

The main tiddlywinks article says There are two national associations, the English Tiddlywinks Association (ETwA) and the North American Tiddlywinks Association; anyone winning a national tournament (or being the highest-placed home player behind a foreign winner) is entitled to challenge the current champion and In America... National competitions are well attended Spike 'em (talk) 22:17, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

WP is not a reliable source, while the Chicago Tribune is. Enwebb (talk) 22:21, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

The same Chicago Tribune that claims Max Lockwood is a world champion even though I've shown this is incorrect? Spike 'em (talk) 22:25, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

and above, you quote the ETWA site, which further along says To challenge at world level, a player must win one of the national titles and The standard of play at national competitions... Spike 'em (talk) 22:32, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Yes, it seems possible that they said world championship when they meant international championship. I'm not really interested in squibbling about this much more. I wrote what was in the source, which is what was verifiable. Enwebb (talk) 22:33, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

And NATWA says : A winner of a national title (from NATwA, ETwA, and others over time recognized by IFTwA) earns the right to challenge the current World titleholders. You are now trying to guess what a source meant, which cannot be that reliable in this instance. Spike 'em (talk) 22:35, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

final response: I was conceding that it was possible you were right and the source was wrong. However, WP is based on what is verifiable. I added what was verifiable, which was what was written in the source. Enwebb (talk) 22:38, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

And I have added some links to show how the various governing bodies classify / regard their tournaments. As mentioned above, I'd suggest discussing this with RickTucker who is the principal editor on the main article who could give an alternate view, though his edits are not that frequent. Spike 'em (talk) 22:47, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

At one time the North American Tiddlywinks Association sponsored two pairs championships, one held in the United States and another held in Canada. Winners of each were eligible to challenge World Pairs title holders. The Canadian Pairs has not been held since 1974. Tournaments are sponsored by a particular tiddlywinks association such as NATwA and ETwA; winkers from any country can participate in them. ETwA sponsors their National Singles and Pairs. When the Scottish Tiddlywinks Association was in existence, they sponsored the Scottish Pairs. Winners of each of these association pairs championships were eligible to challenge the current World Pairs champions. World championships are conducted under the purview of the International Federal of Tiddlywinks Associations (IFTwA). I am the Secretary-General of IFTwA. Rick (talk) 21:30, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

2019 World Cup Bowling Average

Hi, the minimum balls needed to qualify for that list should be 1000 deliveries, as provided by Cricinfo, which is also the criteria in other sections e.g. Bowling Economy, 400 deliveries are not enough. Db135 (talk) 07:15, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

@Db135: I've made a full explanation at Talk:List of Cricket World Cup records#Discrepancy between Batting and Bowling average lists so please comment there rather than here. Spike 'em (talk) 09:02, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Cricket

Hi Spike'em. I have noticed a few errors in the article about Cricket. I would be happy if you could correct these errors. I cannot correct these mistakes myself, as I don't have the necessary credits.

Under the heading "Laws and Gameplay", and under the subheading "Match Structure and Closure", it is written that "The exception to this is if a batsman has any type of illness or injury restricting his or her ability to run, in this case the batsman is allowed 'A Runner' who can run between the wickets when the batsman hits a scoring run or runs." But the new rules state that the ICC has outlawed the use of a Runner. "Runners are outlawed from internationals by new ICC rules. Runners will no longer be allowed in international cricket after a number of changes to the playing conditions came into force on 1 October, 2011". Thus, it would be nice if you could correct that error in the article.

In addition to the above error, I spotted another error. Under the heading "Batting, Runs and Extras", the article states that "Substitute batsmen are not allowed." But according to the new set of rules, the ICC allows players who suffer concussions during a match to be replaced in their team's playing XI. Please correct these mistakes. Thank You. — Preceding unsigned comment added by U Navneeth (talk • contribs) 04:32, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi @U Navneeth:, Runners are still allowed under Law 25, it is an ICC playing condition that disallows them in international cricket. Similarly, Concussion substitutes are also an ICC playing condition rather than being in the Laws of the Game (though I think other top-level competitions allow them too). I'll have a look and add a mention of the difference if appropriate. Spike 'em (talk) 10:47, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

10 wicket victories

Hey regarding your revert on the 10 wicket victory list on England test records.. I only kept iit that ways to make some sort of consistency across all the nations.

Ankurc.17 (talk) 17:48, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Well, I don't think a full list is needed on any of the other pages either. I don't monitor those pages so hadn't seen you had added there too. A list of 10-30 items when all the other lists are top-5s is excessive. Spike 'em (talk) 16:52, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

I thought keeping country specific would cover the last issue. If the test teams dont increase then the max the list goes extended till is 11. ANyways since you are moderating the page I dont see any reason to reason with you. Ankurc.17 (talk) 18:01, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

I don't see the need for an 11-line table just for the sake of it (and it may grow as the number of Test teams does), when the key info can be written in text. A 10-wicket victory is usually when a team isn't quite good enough to get an innings victory, so it seems incongruous devoting more space to them than the more impressive innings victories. If a table is really needed, then I'd suggest listing the 5 highest 4th-innings scores made in a 10-wicket victory. Spike 'em (talk) 09:00, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

If we are aiming for consistency, I don't see this table in List of Test cricket records which I think should be the template, rather than cross-pollinating any records that happens to appear in one team list to all the others. Spike 'em (talk) 09:17, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
