January 2010[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page PLN - Professional Learning Network has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://twitter.com/ (matching the regex rule \btwitter\.com\b). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 19:32, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of PLN - Professional Learning Network[edit]

The article PLN - Professional Learning Network has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

neologism

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:36, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cricket and Englishness[edit]

I came across your project via the edits of other people. However this ends up being organised on wikipedia (and I am not involved in the education projects at all, so don't know the correct process), I would make a couple of (non-wikipedia) suggestions. I'm not familiar with your main text, but I have watched "Fire in Babylon", which really only has part of the story and dismisses West Indies cricket before 1976 as lightweight. There was far more to it (and I don't mean from a cricket viewpoint, but a political one) than the film even hints at. Second, I cannot recommend highly enough Beyond a Boundary by C. L. R. James. I imagine this would tick many, many of your boxes even given its age. Hope this helps, and good luck. Sarastro1 (talk) 22:09, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Sarastro1, and thanks for the info! I'm actually just helping with this project, but Simon1252 might find these sources useful in the future.

Beyond a Boundary is probably the greatest cricket book ever written. See comments by CDTPP and myself at Talk:History of cricket to 1725 and also the revised paragraph on origin. ----Jack | ^{talk page} 00:45, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

course pages and the ambassador program[edit]

Hi! I replied to your most recent post at the education noticeboard. If you want to explore a bit about the education program and the course pages, you might find this useful: Wikipedia:Training/For educators.--Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 14:36, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Sage Ross (WMF). I'm exploring all of this, so I appreciate the help!Oline73 (talk) 14:50, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article Feedback deployment[edit]

Hey Oline73; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:47, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of comment at ANI[edit]

Hello Oline73, You seem to have removed one of my comments at ANI. I realize edit conflicts happen, but our posts were over an hour apart. Please be more careful in the future. Thanks. Dave Dial (talk) 14:33, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, DD2K, sorry, I'm not sure how that happened. I wasn't editing the conversation you're involved with, so I must have accidentally clicked and deleted it somehow. My apologies, it's a mystery how it happened and it was unintentional. Hope it wasn't too much of an inconvenience! --Oline73 (talk) 15:11, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response. No, it was no problem to reinsert the comment. Just a simple copy and paste job. Have a good day. Dave Dial (talk) 17:46, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject naming[edit]

Hi there, in relation to the use of WikiProject in a page title, I've started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Should the "Wikipedia:WikiProject" prefix be reserved for "full projects/sub projects/task groups" or any gathering?. I don't want to get into any of the other issues associated with this Englishness course or Jack or anything like that, only the appropriateness of the page name. As you were involved in this project page creation, I would appreciate your input to the discussion. Regards, The-Pope (talk) 03:33, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
