Citation needed for the struggling to remain financially solvent
Is covered by ref #1.
Same as above for the move into the Athletic Grounds

"widely accepted that", MOS:WEASEL violation
Tweaked. Harrias (he/him) • talk 13:26, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
The sentence in the Squad section that begins "In his history of Somerset cricket,....", it's quite a long run-on sentence and should be broken up
Split. Harrias (he/him) • talk 13:26, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
The source in the Squad table lists the county as "Somersetshire". Was that a common name for Somerset at the time? It should be included and clarified in the main body of text.
Added a note in the background section. Harrias (he/him) • talk 13:26, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
In the County Cricket Summary section, the first mention of century should be linked to assist those who don't follow cricket
Wikilinked. Harrias (he/him) • talk 13:26, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
Where did Somerset play Surrey and Hampshire in the second paragraph?
Added. Harrias (he/him) • talk 13:26, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
The third paragraph with the wet wicket is a run-on sentence
Split. Harrias (he/him) • talk 13:26, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
The batting and bowling tables are missing sources
No, the source information is provided in footnotes b and c, as listed in those tables. Harrias (he/him) • talk 13:26, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
In the Aftermath section, why did Somerset lose First Class status? Was there an official process back then? Was it for poor performance or because someone in the MCC just decided they didn't fancy Somerset? This needs to be clarified
The sources don't explicitly say. I suspect all it means is that Wisden, and thus modern statistics, stopped considering them a first-class side. But all I have from my various Somerset books is that they were stripped of first-class status. Harrias (he/him) • talk 13:26, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
All online non-CricketArchive references need accessdates
I believe they do. Newspaper and Magazine sources don't need accessdates, even where online links are provided, as these links are for convenience only. Harrias (he/him) • talk 13:26, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
External Links is an empty MOS:HEAD

@Harrias: In all it looks good, just need the above amended and I can pass it. Please ping me when this is done and I will have another look at it.  The C of E  God Save the King! (talk) 10:54, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
@The C of E: Cheers, replies above. Harrias (he/him) • talk 13:26, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
I have had a look at WP:PAGENUM to check and from a strict reading of it, it appears you are correct on that @Harrias: as there is a published date so I am able to pass this. Well done.  The C of E  God Save the King! (talk) 07:22, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
