List of Hampshire County Cricket Club grounds

Featured list candidates/List of Hampshire County Cricket Club grounds/archive1

Nominator(s): AA (talk) 12:30, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I have substantially expanded the article with prose, providing an overview of the history of Hampshire's use of different grounds, and I have reformatted the list so that it more closely matches other English county cricket grounds FLs. Any comments welcome! AA (talk) 12:30, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

The lead looks a little short, is there some more info that could be added? First ground, most used ground, etc?
- Done. I have added an extra couple of sentences to this effect. AA (talk) 17:25, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Outground is redlinked, is it likely to ever be an article? If so, it should also be linked on the first use in the body
- Done. It is an article I have lined up for the future, there are several books and links which cover the subject. AA (talk) 17:25, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is there an image that could be added to the lead?
- Done. Have added an image of their current home venue. AA (talk) 17:25, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"after a lease was successfully acquired by James Fellowes" - could you clarify who he was?
- Done. Added that he was a cricketer (amongst other things, but cricketer seems the most relevant descriptor without going off on a tangent). AA (talk) 17:25, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"which would last for 115–years" - there's no reason for a hyphen there
- Done. Have removed. AA (talk) 17:25, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"the Rose Bowl also played host to Test," (etc) - unless there has been some sort of ruling that it can never do so again, change to "has played host"
- Done. Have reworded. AA (talk) 17:25, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"which the transferred Bournemouth" => "which transferred Bournemouth"
- Done. Oops! Can tell I've been on nights! AA (talk) 17:25, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"which was also serves as the home ground" - something's not right here
- Done. AA (talk) 17:25, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"but there for only two seasons before the Second World War." - think there's a word or two missing here
- Done. AA (talk) 17:25, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Date columns in the table don't sort correctly
- Done. Now sorts correctly! AA (talk) 17:25, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Source for note 1?
- Done. Have added the scorecard which shows Dorset at the home side. AA (talk) 17:25, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the second sentence, Hampshire is a singular noun. So it should be "has", not "have"
- Done. AA (talk) 10:49, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
a number of --> "various", "multiple", "many" or "14"
- Done. AA (talk) 10:49, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
sports, in which a team comma isn't needed
- Done. AA (talk) 10:49, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
fourteen should be "14" in the last sentence of the lead
- Done. AA (talk) 10:49, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
James Fellowes;[6] thus began an association at the County Ground which would last for 115 years. --> James Fellowes, which began an association at the County Ground that would last for 115 years.
- Done. Reads much better :) AA (talk) 10:49, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
home matches per season from 1899, change "from" to "starting in"
- Done. AA (talk) 10:49, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
in 1972 which transferred Bournemouth change "which" to "that"
- Done. AA (talk) 10:49, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
matches there to 1948 add "up" before "to"
- Done. AA (talk) 10:49, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Any particular reason for the more formal "Second World War" and not World War II.
- Comment. I guess I'm just formal! Happy to change though. AA (talk) 10:49, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Under the "Grounds" section, why is the text italicized? It is too long for a note. I would drop the italics.
- Done. Agreed. I have just italicized the "Note" sentence. AA (talk) 10:49, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the table, I think the text needs to be centered. Left justified with numbers doesn't look good. If you feel so compelled, you can left justify the first two columns.
- Done. I have centre justified, how does it look now? AA (talk) 10:49, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the name column, I think you should split out the pictures. The text get's lost. Something like one of mine, List of Green Bay Packers presidents, I think would look good. The other option would be to at least bold the text.
- Done. I have bolded the text, less lost in the image and box background now... hopefully! AA (talk) 10:49, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
