Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/West Indian cricket team/archive1
Although I have contributed to this article, most of it has been developed by others. I'm happy to make any positive changes that are needed for this to become a featured article, jguk 15:10, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- Jguk back to FAC after a long hiatus! Ok, Object 1) The west Indies flag should be a .png type. 2) Lead should be doubled and summarise the article. 3) Other theorists point out; It is theorised would like to know the source. 4) ToC granulated. Please shorten it and remove those ugly subheadings. 5) This needs a grammar check. Found missing full stops, play against side 6) Wikify Busta Cup and mention what it is. 7) The first sentence of =Early tours= should mention the year when WI first played. 8) Scarborough festival? 9) I think this needs a copyedit before I review further. =Nichalp «Talk»= 17:58, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- Object too, I'm afraid. Much as I like to see lots of cricket featured articles, this one just isn't up to scratch yet. I found sentences like "The bowlers to follow had big shoes to fill, and ultimately, have not responded to nowhere near the level that Ambrose and Walsh have set". Also no mention of England's last tour (Harmison 7/12, Lara 400*). And somehow the statistics at the bottom are ugly and disconnected from the rest of the page. I didn't do a thorough review, but I can't support it at the moment. Stephen Turner 19:09, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment I appreciate the difficulty of finding pictures, but in this case, a few more would vastly improve the dry look of the page. Candidates: Headley, Worrell, the 3W's, Ramadhin&Valentine, the Tied Test shot, Lloyd, Viv Richards, the 70s pace quartet, Greenidge&Haynes, Lara. --Peripatetic 23:18, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- Object. The images Image:West Indies Cricket Board Flag.PNG and Image:WI shirt.jpg are claimed as "fair use", but no source information is provided, making it impossible to evaluate fair use. Further, it seems to me that it should be quite possible to make free-licensed replacements for those images. --Carnildo 06:47, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- May I ask how? The logo will be a trade mark and the design of the shirt is what has copyright (the photo of it won't). These rights will belong to the West Indies Cricket Board. We have to rely on free use to use them, don't we? jguk 18:22, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
