Retired

This user is no longer active on Wikipedia because I am resigning from this site in protest at the way incompetent administrators like Harrias can sit in their ivory towers and ignore blatant breaches of bad faith because they haven't got the courage or the intelligence to do something positive and resolve the issue. A site that allows that sort of thing to pass unchecked is not worth bothering with and I will waste no more time here.

ANI notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Harrias ^talk 17:14, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

I don't know anything about the underlying dispute - and don't need to. Whatever else has been said, comments such as this are absolutely unacceptable. If your concern is that other editors are being incivil, then being incivil yourself is not a great way to call attention to the issue. Calling them aresholes is right out. I note that you're retired, above, and that's fine - but if you return to editing and continue to make personal attacks such as these, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you.

In fact, having looked into this myself, you're being blocked now for repeated personal attacks and giving the very distinct impression of gaming the system in an attempt to bait the main administrator involved in the dispute into blocking you in a fashion that would let you accuse them of being WP:INVOLVED. This block is set to indefinite; if you change your mind, decide to return, and are willing to follow policy, you can request an unblock through the usual methods. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:55, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Major cricket - possible merge

Hi. Given the closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Major cricket (2nd nomination) as non-consensus I'd like to consider a possible merge of the Major cricket article to History of cricket - see the discussion I've started at Talk:Major cricket.
