UAE national cricket team

I've reverted your edits to this article for two reasons: 1. We don't need to mention every single little thing about every event, and 2. I spent a lot of time writing a well referenced concise article and you added a whole bunch of unreferenced content to it that, to be frank, reduced the quality of the article. If you do wish to add what you wrote again, please be concise, we only need to give an overview, and please provide references. Andrew nixon (talk) 22:55, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Quite frankly, I think that overly concise nature of your article reduces the overall quality of what had been written. I had not mentioned every little single thing about every event. That is a thesis. A short paragraph on a tournament participated in, is hardly a rambling, 10000 word summary. A one sentence per tournament article does little, in my view, to provide a flavour of the tournament or generate reader interest in following links to other articles. If overly concise articles are the way forward, we might as well write; "In the 21st century, the UAE national team played various cricket matches, won some, lost some". I do not understand your desire to be this concise. Apologies for the lack of references, they will be added, once the concise issue has been resolved. SotonBoomer 09:31, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Capitalization in section headings

Hi SotonBoomer, just a friendly note about capitalization in section headings. To quote the Manual of Style, "The initial letter of a title is capitalized (except in rare cases, such as eBay). Otherwise, capital letters are used only where they would be used in a normal sentence (Funding of UNESCO projects, not Funding of UNESCO Projects)." See Wikipedia:Section_headings#Article_titles.5BR.5D. For example, you changed the section heading "The future" to "The Future," which is incorrect. Thanks. Bento00 (talk) 17:36, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
