John Barton King is the greatest cricketer in the history of the United States. Of course, this is my opinion, but also the opinion of many of the greatest cricketers of his generation and later generations. This article has gone through quite a bit of work since I got my hands on it. I tried to do everything systematically with the help of the folks at WP:CRIC. After some initial improvements and edits, it was put up for Peer Review before being listed as a Good Article Candidate. After its promotion to good status, I went to the League of Copyeditors and had someone give it a thorough copy edit. Following this, I put it up for Peer Review Again. After a few more great suggestions from various places, I think that it is now ready to be featured. I've addressed all the concerns that have come up in Peer Reviews and on the talk page save a call for a chart of batting performances. In the cricket wikiproject this task generally falls to Raven4x4x and he has assured me that it's on the way. He's been inactive for a couple weeks, but I don't believe it changes the quality of the article a great deal. It will be a nice addition when it arrives. The CC Morris Cricket Library has been most helpful in scanning images of King (and other Philadelphian cricketers) from their collection for use on Wikipedia. All of this being said, I am hereby nominating Bart King as a Featured Article Candidate.-- Eva b d 14:47, 30 April 2007 (UTC) reply
