Orphaned references in Neil Harvey with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948
[edit]I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Neil Harvey with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Fairly conspicuous copying from a book
[edit]Some parts of this article appear to be lifted directly from one or more books. A glaring example is the third paragraph of the "Fourth Test", from the sentence that starts with 'Upon arriving in the middle'. It appears to be a mixture of what was said between Miller and Harvey at the time, plus Harvey's later recollection of the event. Only someone with access to the book can fix it though.

- This was added recently and was not in the version that passed FA. I've removed it now as, even were it not dubious as stated here, it is not really necessary. Sarastro1 (talk) 07:44, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Photo?
[edit]This article is perfect... only problem is it lacks a photo! :) Do we have a photo of him? Are there any public domain photos etc? Where or how could we find a photo to add here? Sofia Lucifairy (talk) 01:48, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- I've added a few public-domain photos from commons:Category:Neil Harvey. I think FA standards were a bit less strict when this article was promoted. IgnorantArmies 07:34, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Notability?
[edit]Hi guys
I'm probably missing something here, and this looks like it is a well written article, but in what way is this subject notable? It looks like Harvey had a good tour, yes, but not particularly a record breaking one, and given that I wouldn't have thought we'd want to include an article for every single player on every single tour in Test history, there must be factors over and beyond that to justify inclusion... Thanks! — Amakuru (talk) 16:12, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- The similar article Doug Ring with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948 was recently nominated for deletion for the same concerns but failed. I agree that these raise notability concerns. Jason Quinn (talk) 19:33, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- PS This thread is about Neil Harvey with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948, which is the featured article for today. Jason Quinn (talk) 19:34, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
