Big deletion
[edit]I was looking at this article and noted that section 4 onwards were duplicated so I removed them. D-Notice (talk) 22:17, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Feedback
[edit]Big thanks to Arteyu (talk · contribs) who has been updating this page valiantly. After some observations and reading through the article, I have some suggestions:-
- Information is appropriate but can be arranged better. Maybe group the years in Professional career from 1999-2006 (before becoming world #1) and 2007 to present. This observation was made in comparison with Roger Federer's article. May also be useful to use {{TOClimit|limit=2}} to keep the Contents list neater.
- The Career statistics is a bit lengthy. I appreciate the effort put into compiling the data but it would be more appealing to readers to list the more recent results from major tournaments. And if they want to know more, they can go to List of career achievements by Nicol David where all those statistics will feel more at home.
- Great compilation of well-cited information but needs someone to tweak the language. My English isn't up to par yet.
After that, I believe this article is worthy of at least an A-Class rating. Zafri (talk) 01:46, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you for your compliments. I'll do my best to improve this article. Arteyu ? Blame it on me ! 15:38, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
I have added Nicol's Twitter and her creation, Squash Stars, to the External links. Also, her profile on WISPA and SquashInfo for easy reference. Thanks a lot Arteyu (talk · contribs) for constantly updating this article without fail! Keep up your good work! It means so much to those who wanted to know Nicol David better. Cheers! Jayson (talk) 00:21, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you very much Jayson. I think many more squash related articles need to be severely upgraded, not only to this article. The squash wikiproject is in need of many more volunteers. Hope that you can join the team, mate Arteyu ? Blame it on me ! 09:34, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
I'm just wondering whether should Family and early life be changed to Personal life or not? Also, shouldn't Junior squash be Early career? Jayson (talk) 01:43, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
