Immediate loser

[edit]

Poor old User:Can't sleep, clown will eat me - almost twice as many as you'd allow. Are you going to tell him, or shall I?! The Rambling Man 16:11, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I should broaden the terms to include first names, lol --Dweller 16:23, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And User:Ryan Postlethwaite loses out too...! The Rambling Man 16:34, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does it have to be Sri Lankans? Hugh Bromley-Davenport has 17 characters, including the hyphen :-p If we include first names, we can have Srinivasaraghavan Venkataraghavan. And if we allow first-class crickters, not just Test cricketers, how about Ilikena Lasarusa Talebulamainavaleniveivakabulaimainakulalakebalau...

And then there is John Elicius Benedict Bernard Placid Quirk Carrington Dwyer and Amunugama Rajapakse Rajakaruna Abeykoon Panditha Wasalamudiyanse Ralahamilage Ranjith Krishantha Bandara Amunugama. -- ALoan (Talk) 17:48, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Laxman Sivaramakrishnan

[edit]

Isn't Laxman Sivaramakrishnan Indian, not Sri Lankan? - fchd 11:21, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he should therefore be replaced with Pradeep Jayaprakashdaran. If we are not particular about surnames, Ellawalakankanamge Asoka Ranjit De Silva will also do fine. Tintin 11:26, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ooh. How embarassing. --Dweller 13:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vaas

[edit]

What about Warnakulasuriya Patabendige Ushantha Joseph Chaminda Vaas? Zain Ebrahim (talk) 11:49, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's four letters. The beauty is in the small print, you know. --Dweller (talk) 13:06, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Damn! How did I miss that?! Zain Ebrahim (talk) 15:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You're certainly not the first one to miss something from Vaas. --Dweller (talk) 15:53, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

cricket team test?

[edit]

I that the Sri Lankan cricket team test, or the Sri Lankan test cricket team test? Googlemeister (talk) 16:01, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd happily accept nominations for any notable Sri Lankan cricketer, so I guess not, but it's an interesting test question, though technically it would then be Dweller's Sri Lankan Test cricket team test, these capitals being very important to us cricket geeks. --Dweller (talk) 09:41, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2015 update?

[edit]

According to the current squad list, the limit may have to be reduced to 11 characters based on Dimuth Karunaratne's name. However, for the sake of fairness, I think Tillakaratne Dilshan's 12-letter first name should be used instead. Of course it does not affect me either way, because my username is 8 letters plus 2 Japanese characters, right? AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:04, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
