Retired hurt

Hi - In answer to your question, yes retired hurt is very much counted as not out (the batter was not dismissed and could have resumed his/her innings if recovered). You'll see in this case that she shows as not out in her profile when you look at recent games. Bs1jac (talk) 13:14, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. I'll check the profile. Mashfi23 (talk) 13:17, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Saudari

Hi. I am taking a few days off later this week and hoping to get out and about, so wont be doing as much on wiki. Would be great if you could set up 2022 Saudari Cup when sources are found. So far I have only seen czarsports and this on Facebook, so need more. Can also look at 2019 Saudari Cup for a reference for a sentence about who won last time. Also, if you could do Bulgaria in Serbia that would be good... although very possible it will be harder to find enough references for this one. Only source so far is on the BCF Facebook, which states 4 games... but they have told me its 3 T20I followed by a practice game. Bs1jac (talk) 20:06, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

@Bs1jac: Will definitely look for sources about the Saudari Cup in these couple of days. Might have to rely on ESPNcricinfo for confirmation about the practice match though; it's unlikely we'll get a source. Thank you Mashfi23 (talk) 06:08, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

women's cricket

Hi. I have been thinking for some months about stopping writing "women" in match/toss results. The teams template and tables do not show it, and obviously if the article is about a women's series, the team is the women's team. What do you think about this going forward? Of course we still say T20I (not MT20I) and WT20I, so we'd still be far from perfect, but a good starting point in my opinion. Previously when anyone has made this change it has been reverted, but I wonder if now might be the time to make a concerted effort? As regular editors, we would need to be in agreement for it to work. Bs1jac (talk) 22:25, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

@Bs1jac: Defaulting nothing mentioned to "men" was something I never liked, so I would be fully on-board with this idea (women's T20Is had started before men's!). I have been trying this out in the Bangla Wikipedia articles I work in (helped by the fact that the articles there were really inconsistent before). It would be ideal in my opinion to be completely consistent with the gender naming (using both "Men's" or "Women's" when it's required and dropping both when the context makes the words redundant) in all places, but yes- this will indeed be a good starting point. মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 04:41, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Women's T20 asia cup

why u deleted stats section on this page ? RAJESHWARxSINGH (talk) 03:56, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for asking. As per tradition, statistics should be added only after the end of the tournament. If possible, let the stats section be commented out for now and get it out after the final match. মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 04:03, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

ok, i will add after final match. RAJESHWARxSINGH (talk) 04:09, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

@Mashfi23 the fact that i have mentioned that thailand for the 1st time won against pakistan is important event, earlier in men's 2022 asia cup page their are several such facts mentioned 2022 Asia Cup RAJESHWARxSINGH (talk) 06:29, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

@RAJESHWARxSINGH: The information is definitely important and worth mentioning, but just not with the match summary. Mention it in an appropriate place (such as the Thailand team article) with proper grammar and a reference. মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 06:57, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Thailand series

I see what you mean about the venue. I dont have any additional info, so suggest leaving it for now and see what Cricinfo does. Might it be another name for the same place (probably not, but maybe). I dont plan to do much/any live work on this one as im focusing on the qualifier (and dont want to spend too much time ontbe screen!) but will check in later for stats on team and record pages. Bs1jac (talk) 21:11, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

@Bs1jac: From what I saw in Google Maps, they are definitely not the same venue- the school ground is in Huai Sai and the golf resort is in Mae Faek (both a few miles north of Chiang Mai city). Seen as different in this article too. But again, as you suggest, can wait and hope for ESPNcricinfo to get the correct info (whatever it might be). মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 21:16, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Ah well yes if they have both been used before, does look like at least some of the games have moved. Sure CI will get that info at some point. Bs1jac (talk) 21:19, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Ridiculous

I can't believe and expect this from a 11 year old Wikipedian. Why are you changing even every letter now and then? Thinking or doing smart? I'm tired of maintaining uniformity. Normalty and Grammar is there, I know. If something against that being followed here, then you should understand there is a consensus before or discussion before, also it wasn't totally wrong at all. It can be written in many perspectives. But follow what already being followed. U can't go back and search the archives daily. Try and maintain the uniformity. E.g day 1 in a sentence it's ok. Stumps, Day 1 Is this wrong? How ridiculous!!! Kirubar (talk) 15:29, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Don't think "day" is ever used as proper noun in this regard (it's not like the first day of a Test has a brand name: "Day 1") but you do you, I guess মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 15:50, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

It's your perception. In a 5 Day test match, all the events notated by day's play. It's particularly specifically like a brand. If not why did you even consider lost overs on day 1? Put that at last 65 overs lost in this Test due to bad light. But in this regard I followed what our veterans followed. Simple. Kirubar (talk) 00:55, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

CI didn't correct his batting and bowling style.. he is right hand batter and right arm fast

Source https://www.ecn.cricket/players/ameer-hamzah-82250 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.181.100.16 (talk) 22:35, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

I know that there are countless profiles like this... but I actually can't do more to fix those than what you can too, and that is use ESPNcricinfo's feedback form to let them know and hope that it'll work. Bs1jac is the one who can do a little more than that, but it's up to him whether he wants to do that. মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 23:55, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

I have tried feedback form (sent it many times)... but they are not correcting it 117.228.73.13 (talk) 02:12, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Same here... but I don't have any better way at the moment. As I mentioned before, Bs1jac could be contacted regarding this. Thanks. মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 03:35, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Could you please forward this request to Bs1jac? 117.228.93.20 (talk) 04:09, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

You can put a message on this talk page (there's already a "Duplicate profile" section there) or mention him here মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 07:35, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

duplicate profile in CI as Ashwath Chidambaram https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/ashwath-chidambaram-1179863

Most of the DPP issues ( I can see your list) has been resolved, you can strike off. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.181.100.86 (talk) 05:09, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. A lot of the issues are resolved, I see! মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 06:14, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

It's my pleasure, They might not merge profiles of Bilal or Murad, because they have different DOB in their duplicate profiles.That need some sources from either Cricket archive/Wisden/ or their respective boards. For that we need our trump card Bs1jac. 103.181.100.86 (talk) 06:57, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Funny how Bilal Khan's ESPNcricinfo profile description itself states that he played first-class cricket for Peshawar back in the day, but the stats for those matches are missing from that profile. Someone ought to see that... but I guess Bs1jac can be notified soon enough. মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 07:05, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Now it's upto you to notify him. As i can see 3 more DPP have been deleted. Cheers... 103.181.100.86 (talk) 07:15, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Almost all done and dusted... you cam check 103.181.100.86 (talk) 10:49, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Almost the whole list (as it is now) has been cleared... I don't know who you are, but thank you again. I'm really grateful for the reminders. মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 12:26, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

CI still adamant in case of Bilal and Murad.I have sent them email for umpteenth time , but they are not merging the profiles.I don't know what to do? 116.72.30.136 (talk) 12:31, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/ameer-hamzah-1360543

For above case CI have wrong batting and bowling style for Ameer Hamzah, they have Right DO but bowling and batting style of Amir Hamza. Please try to contact and get it corrected from CI

https://www.ecn.cricket/players/amir-hamza-81722

https://www.ecn.cricket/players/ameer-hamzah-82250 116.72.30.136 (talk) 12:37, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

I know about the Ameer Hamzah case, but attributes like this are difficult to check (maybe). I had notified (or tried to notify) ESPNcricinfo before when they had Amir Hamza instead of Ameer Hamzah, but I'm not sure how to make them go over this kind of a thing. মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 12:41, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

As of now we have only ECN sources... Some video footage would be fruitful. Same in case of Murad.. age gap 10 years and change of nationality. as per cricket Qatar official website he is 23 , so he must be 13 when he played for kuwait. But cricket Qatar may be wrong. For Bilal, we have sufficient sources, but why they are not merging I don't know 116.72.30.136 (talk) 12:48, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Mohammad Murad's profiles finally merged... but the more blatant Bilal Khan profiles still persist মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 20:34, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Please escalate this matter to @bs1jac 117.228.74.58 (talk) 03:22, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Discussion at FL nomination

Hi. I noticed that you have many active contributions in cricket articles. There is a featured list nomination for List of ICC Men's T20 World Cup five-wicket hauls here. Since you are active in this kind of sector, I welcome you to participate in the discussion and express your opinions/thoughts, or give review. RoboCric (talk) 08:24, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the notification. I'll see what I can do there. মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 09:06, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

You may consider giving a Support at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of ICC Men's T20 World Cup five-wicket hauls/archive1, if you think that the list deserves to be a featured list. Thanks. RoboCric (talk) 11:51, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Surname

Wikipedia's Manual of Style says, after the initial mention, to refer to a person by surname only. If there's any question about what a person's surname is, I suggest consulting the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh's Banglapedia. Examples: Rahman instead of Mujibur Rahman, Rahman instead of Ziaur Rahman, Islam instead of Nazrul Islam. --Worldbruce (talk) 07:38, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for this message. The names you mentioned are Arabic compound/theophoric names and cannot be separated by the space given in the common English spelling. "Rahman", "Islam" and the like in these names are not supposed to be separate words linguistically and thus not surnames- which is what I tried to correct in those articles (while also trying to follow WP:SURNAME). মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 08:09, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Nomination of 2023 Valletta Cup for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 2023 Valletta Cup is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2023 Valletta Cup until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Bs1jac (talk) 15:33, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Ps: Didn't realise that you had created the original redirect. Just to note, I hope this does get a page eventually (with the Mdina Cup included as well) but it does not currently meet any criteria to satisfy the admins. I tried restoring the redirect once, but do not want an edit war with an editor hence the AfD. Bs1jac (talk) 15:37, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Didn't even see that you added something to your original message in the deletion discussion before I added what turned out to be basically the same thing. Bah! But yes, I hope to see a proper article for it too. Thanks for notifying me of this though মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 15:49, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Regarding your note on this article, feel free to add the match summaries if you like. I am holding off in case the article is removed (the refs you have added today are an improvement but still wouldn't pass WP:GNG). Ps I added a sentence about the Mdina Cup... if the article is kept I would definitely add this as a subsection. Bs1jac (talk) 08:57, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Cricket at the 2022 Asian Games – Women's tournament, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 03:21, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Cricket at the 2022 Asian Games – Women's tournament. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please stop. The section headings are used to transclude the information onto other articles. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 04:24, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

@Sportsfan 1234 May I know what exactly was "unconstructive" in my contribution? মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 04:25, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

There is no need to have a hat note to link the other parts of the tournament, when there is an infobox already on the article. We do not label quarter/semifinals as well. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 04:26, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

@Sportsfan 1234 Understood about the hatnote; the labels are understandable too but you should tell this to whoever added them first before straight up calling my edit "vandalism" (you are removing/changing proper information in the cricket match templates too while reverting my whole edit) মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 04:29, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Your edits are disruptive. Please stop. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 22:09, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

@Sportsfan 1234 Please do explain how they're disruptive instead or simply calling them disruptive. Thank you. মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 01:10, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Batter/batsman

There is no consensus from WT:CRIC to use batter over batsman in men's cricket articles such as 2023 Cricket World Cup squads. The last discussion was at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket/Archive 91#Batter v Batsman, please feel free to start another discussion there, but get consensus before changing it in articles. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:08, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Understood. Thanks for the message. মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 15:20, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

T20Is or not

ICC Counting this T20 series (https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugandan_cricket_team_in_Namibia_in_2023) as internationals, while Cricinfo tagged them as otherT20 103.181.100.169 (talk) 08:37, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

I addressed this in my edit summary here. Thanks for the concern though. মাশ্‌ফী※Mashfi (ETP) 10:30, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi - you might have some opinions on the moves proposed here. Bs1jac (talk) 08:13, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
