### Comments
Hi, AA. This is an easy and interesting read. I'm a Yorkie, and I was amused to read how well Mr Wootton performed against Lancashire! And against the Aussies too, for that matter.
When I do a review, I fix minor things like typoes myself to save time. Please check the ones I've done are okay, though.
There is one sentence that I think is a bit too long: Two months later, after two successive defeats against Derbyshire and Lancashire, he was selected in the Kent side and made his debut in first-class cricket against Sussex at Hove; his arrival at the ground had been delayed, with Wootton late receiving the telegram calling him up to play due to his absence from his home.
I would split that along the lines of: Two months later, after two successive defeats against Derbyshire and Lancashire, he was selected in the Kent side and made his debut in first-class cricket against Sussex at Hove. He was late arriving at the ground because he had been absent from home, and did not immediately see the telegram calling him up to play.
One other point, which is entirely up to you, but I think Frederick Martin should be called Fred. His article, however, is titled Frederick, but I'm sure he was widely known as Fred (apparently he also had "Nutty" as a nickname).
Anyway, this passes CR#1 because it's very well written. It is certainly broad in coverage (CR#3), well within scope, and it presents a concise summary of the man as well as the player. No problems with any of CR#4/5/6 as it is entirely NPOV, completely stable, and there are no images. On the last point, the only image I can find is the one on the Getty site, which is copyright. He might be on a team photo somewhere, of course.
That leaves CR#2 – verification. You've got 21 citations, so I'll select four as a sample, and look them over. I'm a bit short of time right now, so I'll try and do that tomorrow. Hope that's okay, and I'll be back soon. All the best, Jack (talk) 17:08, 22 November 2025 (UTC)


#### Sample citations
#03 – Carlaw. Confirms that he was a horseman, etc.
#05 – Cricket: A Weekly Record of the Game. This is a superb source. No problems here.
#09 – CricketArchive. Confirms his partnership with Dick Penn against Sussex.
#17 – The Cricketer. Confirms the 1894 benefit match.


#### Result
Excellent work which easily meets GA standard. Promoting it now. Very well done, AA, and all the best. Jack (talk) 11:49, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

Thanks Jack, many thanks for your review! I have actioned your suggestions above as well :) AA (talk) 12:03, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
