I joined and made few stuff .

Perhaps it would be wise to request wikipedia to allow us to lift some of their articles (for now).

 

[Cricipedia]

Could I also ask how you intend to put cricket teams in?

On wikipedia you have 'Australian national cricket team' but I think that just 'Australia' or 'Bangladesh' would do. Try to keep it at one only and clarify to stop duplicate article.

Yeah, that's a good idea. We obviously don't need an article about the country Australia, just the Australian cricket team.

Nice.

Also, when you're adding a new player, don't forget to add some category information at the bottom so they appear in the Player Articles page.

[[Category:Players]]

If Cricipedia is licensed under the GDFL or the CCSA licence then you can just lift it directly, you can't request permission to wikipedia for it.

Yeah, you can just copy straight from Wiki if you want. Note that we don't have all the templates that Wiki does though.

Nah, I'm just gonna write the article myself.

It's fun.

Excellent!

How did the admin put in the Gilly part at the side of my article? I have no idea how to do it.

This is a good project. I might register and try and help out with some articles.

 

[KingCJ]

This looks good. I might help out if I get time.

Have you considered possibly advertising this project on other forums (e.g. Cricketweb)?

I was thinking, maybe at first it would be wiser to go around and create as many little blurbs as possible so we can get rid of as much of the red non-article entries.

Then other users can come in later and add more details to those blurb entries. I'll try and add in as much as I can soon.

Like on this page. First line of users from here should go and fill in as many entries as possible with blurbs. then wave two of users can go in and embellish them.

If we work with a schedule and a plan, we can get the site up really big fast.

Yeah I have, but it's hard to sign up to all the forums and actually not get slammed for spamming.

If anyone has any accounts on other cricket forums, it would be great if you could start spreading it around and getting some more users adding content!

Not a bad idea to just start getting the articles created. You know, just a few paragraphs on each and then we can come back through and add more.

Don't forget, there is this page too which lists the most wanted articles.

If you ask permission first you should be ok. I can have a word with the admins at Cricketweb if you need.
