I haven't seen Jermaine Lawson on TV, but User:Dingbatdan appears to have overstepped WP:NPOV here.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 02:07, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I don't understand - is it in reference to his action? Because I was merely stating that he was reported - I am making no judgements Dingbatdan 14:59, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, I mean the phrases "exploded onto the scene", "extraordinary figures" and "superb haul", which are rather suggestive and not particularly neutral.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! 05:41, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's undoubted that 6/3 is an extraordinary haul - it is the cheapest 6-for in Test history and unlikely to be replicated. Furthermore, in one's third match (regardless of opposition) it is definately making a mark quickly - hence 'exploded' ie. he became known very quickly as a result. And 'superb haul' references a 7-for against the best team in the world, which is no mean feat.Dingbatdan 04:21, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did a bit of a rewrite to try and make it more NPOV. What do people think? -- Deville (Talk) 12:51, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problems here, thanks! Dingbatdan 10:16, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV tag

Although marked as December 2007, that's only when the tag was dated; it's been there undated a lot longer. Given the discussion above, does it actually need to stay now? Loganberry (Talk) 14:16, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm noticing that I cleaned it up more than 3 years ago (wow) and people seem to be basically happy with it during all that time. I'm guessing it won't hurt to take down the tag now. -- Deville (Talk) 23:04, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
