I would appreciate some help in copyediting Maharajkumar of Vizianagram re. the edits done an IP editor recently Link. I have to confess that I am indirectly responsible for this. I was vaguely familiar with this person through a list and invited him to take a look at the article and he made these edits.
I would rather avoid doing the copyedits myself because while his comments are unsourced and strong pro-Vizzy POV, he does know about the subject (mostly through a relative of his) and since I invited him myself I feel uncomfortable doing a plain revert. So can a neutral party please copyedit this. Tintin ( talk) 04:48, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
I was just looking over the Wikiproject cricket participants list & have realised that there are lot of members who no longer contribute to the project. I suggest that we split the list into active & inactive members. We can send the inactive members messages asking them to indicate if they are active. This way we will have a clear statistic about how many people are really involved in the project & it will also be a wake-up call for the inactive users to start contributing. I would appreciate some feedback regarding this.
Thanks

There is a debate starting on the talk page of this featured list as to how many "records" should be included - for example, are "Centuries in both innings of a Test" or "Most man of the match awards" sufficiently important or intersting to add? -- ALoan (Talk) 10:21, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
The 2006 ICC Intercontinental Cup just started in Kenya (currently a redlink, with a brief mention in ICC Intercontinental Cup), and the rankings and schedule for the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy should become clear in the next few days. It would be nice to work these articles up a little to a level equivalent to 2007 Cricket World Cup, at least... -- ALoan (Talk) 12:07, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
I don't think anybody here will want to challenge this prod, but it's just a notice. The same author probably inserted the same rant into the Brett Lee article as an anon. Regards, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 00:10, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
I just noticed there is an all-rounder template for those that have done the test double (200 wickets, 2000 runs). Try as I might I can can't see how to add people to the list with their info. Obviously you can just add the template to a page but it wont have the number of tests played to do the double. If someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. Just for the record, Benaud and Vaas need to be added to the list, 60 and 82 tests respectively. -- LiamE 23:03, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Is now Indian Collaboration of the Week. So if any of you people reckon you can add anything, then please join in the editing. Hopefully we'll get a Good or Featured Article in no time :) Nobleeagle (Talk) 07:19, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Personally I think the redirect should be to Suresh Raina, not the other way around, he is not usually known by his full name, unlike Mahendra Singh Dhoni. what does everybody think?? Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 03:31, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I seemed to have screwed up the infobox of this particular player & I can't sort it out. Help will be appreciated.

I've noticed that there seems to be no consistency on the date format within cricket articles. The project front page says "When referring to a cricket season spanning two years, use an hyphen (or an en dash) and the last two digits of the second year as in International cricket in 2005-06..." and furthermore the last time this was discussed on this page it seems to me that the decision was to use this format.
However in the season articles for those nations where the cricket season does span the two years an alternative format is used ie 2005/6, especially in the South African but also the Sri Lankan and Indian articles. Notably the 2005-06 Australian cricket season uses hyphens and it is clearly the most actively maintained of these cross-year season articles.
I could attempt to sort this out by myself, but for the sheer scale of the task, not wishing to offend anyone and as I'm a newbie I can't move articles, it seems best to get Project consensus on what to do.
I think that the project should try to make an effort for consistency across cricket articles on this minor issue and with an eye for consistency with other sports and what the Manual of Style suggests I think a move to the hyphenated format is sensible. -- Nilfanion 13:53, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
The main reason I haven't done anything substantial is the prevention on new users moving articles - to stop page move vandalism. I am leery of starting work on the dates within the articles to maintain consistency within the article. There is one thing I want clarification on though.
There are 3 Categories (that I found) that need to go to WP:CFD, presumably together: 1971/2 South African cricket season, 2005/6 Indian cricket season and 2005 and 2005/6 Sri Lankan cricket season. The SA and Indian ones are obvious but what exactly is the correct naming for the Sri Lankan one? Should it be just the 2005-06 season, should it be the 2005 and 2005-06 seasons or is the singular the correct name (even though its grammatically wrong). -- Nilfanion 21:17, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
I've gone through as many articles as I can find (mostly South African) and changed everything from 1971/2 to 1971-72 style. I couldn't see more, but that doesn't mean there isn't still an issue. Best part of 200 edits, how fun! -- Nilfanion 12:22, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure what to make of this... a bit like the (now deleted) Memorable ODI batting performance. Are there other such pages out there? -- ALoan (Talk) 16:35, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, it will be alright to delete the page. I was trying to base the page on the cricinfo list stated above and a couple of other interesting lists which used certain mathematical formulas to determine how big the upset was. But it seems too subjective now. If any particular match was rated bigher than another, unless it was generally accepted by everybody, it would be regarded as POV. So yeah, delete it.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Version 1.0 articles - did we finish, or just run out of steam? -- ALoan (Talk) 19:08, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
I am looking for information about R. E. Grant Govan, the founder-president of BCCI. There is very little in the standard sources. All I know about his background is that he was a British businessman in Delhi who ran a company called Govan brothers. There is little data about his activities as the President of BCCI except that he attended certain ICC meetings and some such. (Google provides nothing new or useful, except something about an Anglo Indian old age home in Delhi called Grant Govan homes).
As of now, there is no information about his first name, his date of birth or death, or where he was born or died. Any more information - maybe a pointer to his Wisden obit, or about his grave - will be most appreciated. Tintin ( talk) 10:20, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
This is related to the Indian Cricket Team article: "Note that some of the time periods overlap due to the fact that a captain may have simply been filling in. As is the case of Rahul Dravid's captaincy in 2003." I do not agree with including filling roles in this list. In my opinion, it makes the list confusing and also decreases its utility. For example, if xyz was captain as a fill in role for couple of times in 1993 and then later promoted to full time captaincy in 1997 to 2001, it is grossly misleading and confusing to say he was captain from 1993-2001. -- Blacksun 01:36, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Should this page be a subpage of this project? I ran into it while looking at the new dynamic WikiProject list, and wanted to know before moving it or doing anything. Tito xd( ?!? - help us) 20:17, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
I have proposed {{ Bangladesh-cricketbio-stub}} and {{ Zimbabwe-cricketbio-stub}} at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. All the other Test-playing nations have their own stubs and stub categories, and I think these countries now have enough stubs to merit their own too. Stephen Turner ( Talk) 10:38, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
