As is becoming my custom (see Bart King), now that I've written this American cricketer article, I'm hoping to nominate it as a good article. After that, I'd like to get a peer review done and then see if we can't make this an FA. Is a GA rating possible?-- Eva b d 14:19, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
The article is well written, has good references and is mostly complete, the only information that seemed to be missing was personal life such as marriage and children. I rated it an A-class. Medvedenko 20:54, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
1185 seems to be a magic number:
It's either a remarkable coincidence, or both those 1185s are referring to the same thing. Given that both took place in 1896, I suspect the latter: ie that Haverford's 1896 season consisted of that tour of England. Admittedly the averages don't agree, but maybe somebody miscalculated? JH ( talk page) 21:02, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
From Melville p.136 : "He finished that tour (1903) as his team's top scorer as well as the third best bowler, an exceptional accomplishment for the university professor, who according to some critics ..."
So it looks like he held a higher position than being a school teacher. But if he completed his doctorate in 1902, is it possible to become a professor within one year ? Tintin 01:30, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
I passed the GA, it meets all seven of the GA criteria. One issue: when checking the sources the following sentence was copied verbatim from the source. I didn't find any other so the article is fine (I even registered and checked the ones one the Wisden Almanack). Just re-word the sentence.
One minor note that should be addressed is a sentence or two about his personal life. Such as whether he was married, whether he had any children, etc. Quadzilla99 08:10, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I arrived at this page through a link on the page on the Kappa Alpha fraternity, which states:
“Ku Klux Klan founder John Lester claimed that the Klan's initiation ritual was based on a popular collegiate fraternal order. [21]”
Is this the same person? Or should a disambiguity be made clear and the link disrupted?
