About Kartikeya »

I write about Cricket at A Cricketing View. I take a dim view of writing guided by any overarching cynicism, and am interested in details rather than in personality driven fluff.

Hey Welcome to the site Kartikeya, good to see you contributing.

BR just implemented a new tagging system, so it might take some time. Please look over your tags before you submit an article. Most of the ones you've been posting have ended up int he Cleveland Indians section of the website. I see you are using the auto-feed system through the site, so if you can after you post something on your site, please come over here and clean it up afterward. The import feature can do that to an article.

I don't want to step on toes when editing articles, especially since I have to insert pictures. I went ahead and did so on two of your articles. If you have an issue you can select a picture that is more appropriate, but it was the only way to remove the Cleveland Indians tags from the article. I hope you don't mind, I made no adjustments to your actual articles.

Thanks, keep up the great work.
