GA Review

[edit]

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
This will be my first review but it was suggested that people jump in to clear the backlog. I'll try my hardest not to make any new guy mistakes.Cptnono (talk) 08:16, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quick fail criteria

[edit]
  1. Has reliable sources
cricinfo (ESPN subsidiary) looks completely reliable. One source needs text and formatting is not consistent but that is easily fixed during the full review.
  1. Is written neutrally
  2. No valid cleanup tags
  3. Is relatively stable with no edit wars
  4. Not specifically concerned with a rapidly unfolding current event with a definite endpoint

Passes the quick fail criteria. Cptnono (talk) 08:58, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

[edit]
Quotes
  • If the cheatsheet found here is correct some of the quotes need inline citations within the sentence. I noticed throughout the Second Test section.
  • In the Second Test section the commas may need to be tinkered with. "played much better than expected," and was a "much faster pitch than that in Darwin," See WP:LQ (Period after Darwin) Cptnono (talk) 09:24, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Any thoughts on comma after "...than that in Darwin" Does it need to be a period?Cptnono (talk) 11:37, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Wikilinks
 DoneShould Australian Football Park be Cazaly Stadium or Bundaberg Rum Stadium be used?Cptnono (talk) 09:41, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Aaroncrick (talk) 10:41, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Citations
Doesn't really matter. Most Article don't have this. Aaroncrick (talk) 10:41, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
According to WP:CITE#HOW web pages require authors. I was also under the impression that this was a GA requirement but it actually isn't mentioned at GA Criteria. I wouldn't feel right not passing this article because of this. Unless you are against adding the authors based on style, I would be happy to throw them in myself.Cptnono (talk) 11:33, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, A lot of FA's don't. Have now done in any case. Aaroncrick (talk) 12:03, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  DoneThe first source displays Cricinfo italicized while the others do not
Errant apostrophe

Images
 DoneDoes the Ricky Ponting image caption require a full stop? The "who" changes this from a full sentence to a caption.Cptnono (talk) 10:04, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 DoneThis is a really annoying and trivial change. It looks like the "who" makes this a nominal group instead of a sentence. This is mentioned specifically in the caption MOS. So the period or the who need to go. I think removing , who would look better.Cptnono (talk) 11:33, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 DoneCaptions, per MOS:IMAGES information is to be in the text not the captions. The text in the captions gives some good info but might be better as "this is so and so batting" I have seen much worse so maybe the level used is acceptable.
It is inline with the guidelines even if not common.Cptnono (talk) 11:33, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  DoneDamien Martyn's image is left aligned under a third level heading. Per MOS mentioned above "Do not place left-aligned images directly below a subsection-level heading (=== or lower), as this sometimes disconnects the heading from the text that follows it. This can often be avoided by shifting left-aligned images down a paragraph or two."Cptnono (talk) 23:57, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Numbers
I am completely neutral on this and am only suggesting it as an alternative. Would it be better to use the players numbers in the squad table instead of in the prose?Cptnono (talk) 00:04, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, it's better off left how it is. Per other cricket articles :) Aaroncrick (talk) 07:03, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Perfect. If there is already a precedent who am I to try to change it.Cptnono (talk) 08:50, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Doing some tweaks and adding info about the background. Aaroncrick (talk) 09:03, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Those changes actually made a positive and substantial difference in the way it reads. This might come across weird but I believe "Their performance" (dropping the "s") is more inline with common grammar since "their" takes the place of "the team's". Could be US English only or even incorrect, though. Any thoughts?Cptnono (talk) 10:09, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 DoneNot sure, but it appears to read better. Aaroncrick (talk) 10:40, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 DoneHossain's suspect action is not clear to me. Am I missing something?Cptnono (talk) 10:25, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pass

[edit]

Nice work Aaroncrick. You have made this article look clean and have added some great information. You have made related articles look under par in comparison (with no offense to other editors intended). I'm sure any minor tweaks or adjustments will only improve it further so I will be passing this article.Cptnono (talk) 12:02, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
