replies: text: I disagree that it's lifted from Cricinfo. However, the link to Cricinfo should certainly be listed as a Reference not an External link, so I've changed the section heading. Stephen Turner (Talk) 21:47, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Duncharris: if there are 'numerous sources' then cite them. Repeatedly introducing unsourced negative information into biographies of living people amounts to vandalism. --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\talk 12:01, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Unspecified reasons' 

message: There are plenty of reliable sources which confirm that Trescothick has been suffering from depression indeed he has admited this himself: . It is important to state this both for accuracy and also to show that there is no need for obfuscation on the nature of the man's mental illness - any more than there would be if we were writing about a physical rather than a mental ailment.

message: I used this spot to construct those two tables, they are done now. I dunno how you feel about the two paragrapsh of stats, they can go if you like I just compiled them quickly. Tables look good though don't you think? SGGH speak! 19:25, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice tables. Not sure the stats are necessary really, I'll move them to here for now. The trouble with those are that they will always be changing, and therefore need constant updating as well as citing the date the stats are taken from, it's not so bad in tables where they are in one source, but it would be quite a lot of work. Any major ones could possibly be incorporated into the prose if they warrant it. (Be careful that you spell Trescothick correctly, and use the apostrophe in Trescothick's!)–MDCollins (talk) 10:19, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I was typing rather quickly to get through it all, then got called away before I could spell check :D SGGH speak! 15:16, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Do you think we should merge the 1st class and international infoboxes like they have at Paul Collingwood? SGGH speak! 16:54, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not if we can help it, I think it looks terrible! It was an anon ip that made the change, I've posted a question at WT:CRIC to see if anybody actually agrees with the merge. Not only does it make it harder to edit, I don't like the way it obscures the section breaks. Also it is incorrect in that it divides the domestic career into List A and First Class - obviously the First Class stats contain the Test Match information so the heading should actually be International and Domestic combined! –MDCollins (talk) 09:51, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Tis true. SGGH speak! 11:46, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

text: User:Johnlp has suggested that the Collingwood edit should be reverted and mentioned that the First Class summary box may be omitted until the end of a career- in most cases this would be true, but in aiming for FA for a current player it would be nice. –MDCollins (talk) 22:02, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Infobox

message: " the "belligerent" batsman scored his second consecutive ODI hundred" does that mean his first ever ODI hundred was in the previous match? Or that this was his second set of consecutive ODI hundreds (i.e. he had hit two consecutive ODI tons before) SGGH speak! 23:12, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it just means two consecutive hundreds, not that it was his 'second hundred' - just two on the trot. - can't think how to express it better at the moment. –MDCollins (talk) 10:02, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just put "he scored two consecutive hundreds" SGGH speak! 16:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Which would be fine if they were both in the Champions Trophy (the first was in the amazing Natwest Final against India) - i've had another go. –MDCollins (talk) 21:59, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oooh I see. I'm following you now. How about something like "scored consecutive One Day match hundreds in the Natwest Final and then the Champions trophy" SGGH speak! 09:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Hundreds

message: "His batting technique has been likened to that of former England captains Graham Gooch and David Gower" - That struck me as odd so I had a read of the source. From cricinfo "he is described by Nasser Hussain as a left-handed Gooch, but his ease on the big stage and his blazing one-day strokeplay are just as reminiscent of David Gower." Now to my mind that compares his stroke play not his technique to Gower. He is very reminisent of Gooch in technique - both classic biffers - but the only comparison I can make with Gower is that they are both left handed and look to score freely. --LiamE 22:07, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well spotted, I've tried to address this but feel free to have a better go (expanding from the source). I did think of removing it all together but I think that comparisons with other players is useful for context. –MDCollins (talk) 22:24, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Quiet for a while, how is it coming? What do you think about GA? Step on the road to FA. SGGH speak! 18:07, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry - been busy with the new infobox. In my experience it isn't worth bothering with GA - it would almost certainly pass, and there is a large backlog there. I'll try and have another look in the next couple of days, but I am away next week, so wouldn't be able to help with all the problems. Can you request copy editing at WP:LOCE - that should help. –MDCollins (talk) 10:21, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Will do SGGH speak! 14:44, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Going through a few copyedits and proof reads along with Red Gown who's been working hard! :) SGGH speak! 23:08, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi, I noticed that this article was up for GA nomination. It's generally well written - I've just done a copy edit for about half of the article - but length is the major problem right now. There's a lot of unnecessarily specific information there right now - for example, too much on his performances in warm-ups and too much description of events in matches. I'll see what I can do over the next few days to cut it down. Damanmundine1 11:59, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, it is appreciated SGGH speak! 15:30, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've cut it down a fair bit now, don't think it needs too much more. Its length is now a bit less than the Adam Gilchrist article, which made it to FA, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem anymore. Hopefully what I did has helped :)Damanmundine1 11:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it ready? GA is seemingly never going to get around to it. SGGH speak! 10:07, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Forget GA! I've come back after a while off and given it a thorough nit-pick. As a result, I've copyedited the article, and therefore am ready. –MDCollins (talk) 12:57, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, let's go for it SGGH speak! 16:02, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

text: I don't know, it had one support and a load of comments, some of which would have turned to support as all the issues were addressed. I don't understand that one, perhaps message the closing user? SGGH speak! 09:53, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

text: It was the gimmebot, which is why I thought it was a time issue. I'll see if we can re-open it for a minute. We need to chase up the commenters (politely badger them for 'support'. Perhaps message a couple of WP:CRIC users (Tintin, Binguyen etc) to see what they can add to the discussion.–MDCollins (talk) 10:03, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Good idea, make a question on the FAC talk page asking why it was closed, and ask to be reopened because we essentially had about 3 or 4 support votes as all the issues had been dealt with. I know it sounds like I'm not going to do anything myself but a) I am drowning in Uni work and b) my laptop is bust! Will be fixed by this weekend so I'll get on it then. SGGH speak! 11:10, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
