Is the list of centuries necessary at the end of the article? I don't feel that it adds much and it looks out of place to me.-- Sarastro1 ( talk) 23:23, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
I have removed the list from the page but I have kept it at User:Sarastro1/List of centuries by Wally Hammond with a view to creating a separate article at some point in the near future.-- Sarastro1 ( talk) 00:09, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of international cricket centuries by Wally Hammond was recently closed as a merge decision. I've redirected it to here rather than merge, based primarily on this discussion and the FA status of the article. Any comments would, of course, be welcomed. Blue Square Thing ( talk) 09:54, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
I don't know if anyone else has read this, but I was wondering how reliable some of the details are. While a good book, it does not have any references or any indication in some places which parts are conjecture by the author or facts from other places. I have left out some of the details which seem difficult to prove, such as Hammond's thoughts or motivations. What do other people think?-- Sarastro1 ( talk) 16:09, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
Reviewer: Staxringold talk contribs 00:07, 2 April 2010 (UTC) As an American I am very uninformed on the details of cricket, so let me apologize up front if I make any stupid errors or ask any silly questions. However, this could be of assisstance as it will ensure the prose can be read and understood reasonably well by an outsider.
Great overall though! Amazing sourcing, I'd say this baby's up to FA snuff. Staxringold talk contribs 00:41, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
As he played football, we could do with adding a football infobox - but should it go under the cricket infobox or adjacent to the Football career section? -- Jameboy ( talk) 23:13, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Is this a former or alternative name for Sparsholt College? [1]
Researching Eric Hill recently, I came across the sad anecdote on p.265 of "The reasons why" - Hammond drinking on his own in bar in South Africa in 1956 or 1957 while Peter Loader and Brian Statham are celebrated nearby. [2] -- Testing times ( talk) 20:36, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Wondering if for the sake of comprehensiveness, whether we should note that Hammond did not participate in either of the split Test tours of West Indies and New Zealand in 1929-30. I realize this was not extraordinary—Sutcliffe and Hobbs, for instance, didn't tour that winter either—but it might make sense to settle the question for readers who come across the fact that there were two M.C.C. touring parties that season.— DCGeist ( talk) 14:32, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
This website was originally published by the Wisden Group until it was sold to ESPN. ESPN Inc. is a publisher of numerous products. As a website, it should be italicized per the MoS. The publisher field does not italicize, but work does. Dawnseeker2000 10:23, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
Anecdotly. Yes 2A00:23C5:EC0C:D601:A5FC:1D0C:CF7:C974 ( talk) 00:36, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
And Wally Hammond’s cousins farmed just up the road so the story goes 86.132.14.196 ( talk) 00:40, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
