Talk:Charlie Macartney

message: * bowling left arm orthodox spin in addition to his batting." - can't pin-point but something is amiss in the statement. Also, would be good if you could clarify the batting as lower-order batting during his debut
* "regarded as one of the finest stylists in cricket history." - sentence needs copyedits and this phrase require reference
** Trumper comment is referenced when it is expanded upon in the main text and it isn't necesary to re-reference everything in the lead.Blnguyen  (bananabucket) 03:45, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: GA review comments

message: * When i look at other cricket articles, playing style comes after the cricket career section. I am not aware if that is a rule (style after career), but if it is, please changes else ignore this comment.
* Lots of small paras in the career section. i think they can be combined to make larger paragraphs
* "in December 1921, and thereafter described himself as a civil servant. " - but he played cricket till mid/late 1930s. the reference to civil servant needs clarification
**In those days cricket wasn't full time, so this was his dayjob I think. Blnguyen  (bananabucket) 05:11, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Review

message: I'm surprised that no-one has commented on the WP Cricket importance rating. A rating of "low" seems ridiculous to me. If the article were truly of low importance, there would have been little point in expending so much effort to raise it to GA status. I think it should be "high", and am about to amend it accordingly. JH (talk page) 20:51, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Importance

message: That rating was nowt to do with me.  He is definitely a high.  I suspect he was low because he played more than 18 years ago.  I have an issue about the name.  Why Charles when he was universally called Charlie?  Unless someone proves otherwise I am changing that.  --BlackJack | talk page 21:07, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have done it anyway.  All verifiable sources in my possession are clear that he was always known as Charlie.  The Don himself called him Charlie.  --BlackJack | talk page 09:04, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dweller's comments 

message: I'm not sure if this is cool or not, because it doesn't technically pertain to the article, but what kind of hat is Macartney wearing in the pictures? It looks a little different from a poorboy/newsboy. Like, the top part isn't ruffled or anything, but rather very simple. I like it. I also really like the design on the front. If anyone has any information on that hat or others like it, please respond to this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.44.116.20 (talk) 02:44, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
