You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Hi, I'm Hiaw777. IgnorantArmies, thanks for creating Mohammad Akram (cricketer, born April 1964)!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. I think you need to have more information on Mohommad Arkram. I know this is a fairly new page but you should consider adding more info or a redirect may be put in place. The Title is also VERY LONG. Do not take this as an insult. Thanks.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
You added George as a middle name for the Bert Gook article a while back. Just wondering what your source was for the middle name.

Knighthoods take effect from the point they are gazetted, not on the date of investiture.

Not complaining - just confused. "standardise formatting" - What are you standardising with what? It appears to me you have removed the comma; it's my understanding and experience that the inclusion of the comma is "the standard". (To the extent that I expended the effort to expand the functionality of the template to include the comma, in response to complaints about the absence of the comma / requests for an inclusion-of-a-comma functionality.)
Hence, I've reinserted the comma, (but with the reservation of being seen to be a pedant aka a WP:Dick - a label I'm not actively seeking).
Again, we seem to be discussing something not worthy of any effort from either of us. (I'm sure a 6 month holiday in a sunny climate at somebody-else's-expense would "resolve" my concerns. And probably your's too?) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 16:50, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for those encouraging words. It's nice to know somebody else is interested. I am reaching the less interesting and less important teams now, but I'll go on a little longer. Thanks also for your list, which is a great help. (By the way, you can shorten it by at least two: Khulna and Chittagong were scheduled to play, but didn't.) I've also been thinking about the Karachi and Lahore teams; I have something in mind, but there's a lot of time involved. After I finish with teams I will probably go on to some of the more prominent and interesting non-Test players. I've enjoyed finding out about people like Zafar Altaf, Ahad Khan, Faqir Aizazuddin and M.A. Latif. Sammyrice (talk) 22:32, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi thanks for taking the time to provide feedback but I see his personal life as relevant, especially with an event as big as his marriage.

I just need your help in sorting out some statments that this user(User:Showmethedoor) continously adds to the Azad Kashmir article by using statements that have already been mentioned in the second introductory paragraph. He keeps on adding disputed to the Pakistani areas but proudly writes Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir as that part is not disputed. The main dispute is in their area if Jammu and Kashmir where people burn indian flag and raise Pakistani flag.

I've not added my own personal analysis to Wikipedia article on Azad Kashmir. I just added Instrument of Accession with India which is a fact, even as per Wikipedia. It does not violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia in any form. I've provided external link as well from princeton.edu today. Please do not delete or revert the changes. Wikipedia is for related information to be shown to the world that J&K was accesended to India. In fact we need to change the title of the page itself to something more generic, not Azad Kashmir. Thank you. ljinishansl (talk) Jinishans (talk) 22:29, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

You blanket reverted all the edits including my improvements on the earthquake (which I had moved to a section now there's a duplicate of it in the lead). Better to manually resolve edit conflict where there are intermediate edits. So it would make more sense if you revert yourself and then enter your edits by copy pasting from your previous edit manually. Secondly, the new version seems ok except that it asserts J&K as "indian state" instead of Indian administered or controlled. The last agreed upon and neutral version was to keep use the word administered for both J&K and AJK when introducing in such context. --lTopGunl (talk) 11:57, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Re my removal of "Somaliland" on the list of states with limited recognition, this was in essence a mistake as I had clicked on "State of Somaliland" and with referrence to File:Somalia (orthographic projection).svg. All the same I would be interested in your views as to any proposed distinction between this unrecognised group and groups listed at: List of active rebel groups#Groups which control territory. I don't think that, in the context of Star Wars and Che Guavara etc., that "rebel" is derogatory but, in this case, think it is more accurately used. Gregkaye ✍♪ 09:35, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Re: the barony. Surprising but true. Not original research. Apologies, the link I provided as confirmation to the Adelsvapen - ('Coat of Arms' - which is also published on CD Rom) wasn't the one I meant to provide which offers the full genealogy. (The Adelskalendern, which is the official record of the peerage of Sweden would also have him listed, and that will be available online later this year.) I've rewritten the entry with a reference to a Sydney Morning Herald article that confirms his parents names. That article also notes: "The Swedish Leyonhjelms were aristocracy and he still occasionally gets letters from Europe addressed to the "Right Honourable Baron". However I've softened the mention so it doesn't sound like something out of Chekov - which might raise the hackles of the chips-on-shoulder crew. I've corrected the Adelsvapen link to provide the full genealogy. It's actually a fascinating Australian immigrant story. The Australian branch began with Baron Carl Malcolm. You'll find him at TAB 20. You'll find David's father Bryan at TAB 20A. (n.b. ' friherre' = baron). The family is also listed on the Wikipedia page for Swedish noble families: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Swedish_noble_families#Baronial_families_.28Friherrliga_.C3.A4tter.29 Note: the family have changed the spelling of their name. The original name was Leijonhielm, but over the centuries it's been spelt about six different ways. Intriguing how libertarianism has always been popular with aristocrats!

Hello IgnorantArmies. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of United States of Australia, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: WP:CSD#R3 applies only to recently-created redirects.
The reason is that if a redirect has been in place for some time, there may be external links to it which would be broken if it were deleted. If you think an older redirect should be deleted, nominate it at WP:Redirects for discussion, but first read WP:RFD#When should we delete a redirect?. Even if a redirect is misleading, it may still be useful if it directs the reader to an article where there is relevant information, and the usage statistics show nearly 20 hits a day on this one.
Same remarks apply to United States of Germany. JohnCD (talk) 12:45, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

I saw you moved the above mentioned article back to its current title after it had stood at New Zealand women's national cricket team. To be honest, I have to disagree with your rationale. There is no such sport as "women's cricket", it's just cricket played by women. No rules are changed when women play the game. Furthermore, the standard convention among all sports is to use the format "[country] women's national [sport] team", it's just cricket that had it wrong for a long time. If you don't mind, I'm going to request an uncontroversial move back to New Zealand women's national cricket team so it matches with every other article in Category:National women's cricket teams (and while I'm at it, I'm going to request that the category itself be moved too). – PeeJay 10:14, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
Hey IgnorantArmies,
I noticed you've edited the ODI debut paragraph to show Sri Lanka's debut as their first World Cup match. I actually spent a minute thinking about this and while it is correct and was indeed their debut ODI, they didn't gain proper non-World Cup ODI status until 13 February 1982. I wouldn't see this as an issue (especially as Zimbabwe have their WC debut listed, even though they only played ODIs after the 1992 World Cup), but I thought about Canada. Should some miracle happen and Canada find a way back into the fray with a bunch of John Davisons and Rizwan Cheemas, then when they gained permanent ODI status, we'd have to list their debuts as 1979, which would actually precede Zimbabwe, Bangladesh and South Africa, something that just doesn't sit quite right with me. So, I write this to you to discuss an alternative to this. A few lines down in the paragraph, it shows the listings of non-ODI teams having played in full ODI tournaments. I believe that Sri Lanka's and Zimbabwe's first ODIs should be listed in there, with the dates of them having played their first ODI after having gained permanent ODI status listed, and not how it currently shows it, you know? Prior to them gaining ODI status, they were basically no different from the UAE having played in the Asia Cup and indeed Canada in the World Cup. I'm sure we could reword the lead-in article to show that it is listing their ODI debuts AFTER having gained full ODI status. I like how the article is (I actually moulded quite a lot of the debut section as an IP editor many years ago), but the Sri Lanka/Zimbabwe debut just feels incorrect to me at the moment. Tell me your thoughts on this matter.
