Talk:Graeme Hick

message: This isn't very likely unless he keeps playing for at least two more years, and plays more one-day games than he has of late, but should Hick score another 1,032 List A runs before retirement, he will overtake Graham Gooch as the heaviest List A run-scorer of all time.

thread_title:  Heads-up for possible record approaching 

message: I've just checked the relevant section of WP:CITE, and it says:
:Page numbers must be included in a citation that accompanies a specific quotation from, or a paraphrase or reference to, a specific passage of a book or article.
So my comment above is wrong, and the guideline seems pretty clear: we can only use quotations for which we have both exact wording and definite page number(s). Still, it shouldn't be impossible: my draft as it stands now has around 30 sources cites even discounting those which don't fulfill the aforementioned requirements!

thread_title:  Page numbers 

message: I've just noticed that if you ignore the three seasons 1993-95 inclusive (ie go straight from 1992 to 1996) Hick's English-summer average rises then falls in alternate years through his entire career. Whether there's something in that I have no idea! Loganberry (Talk) 02:53, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No it doesn't: 2002 just fails to comply with the "rule". Never mind; I did say it was trivial! Loganberry (Talk) 02:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia 

message: The revised version I have just uploaded is a great deal longer than its predecessor, but in Hick's case I think that's entirely justified. If footnotes, infoboxes etc are stripped out then the body text itself weighs in at around 30K, which for one of the most discussed English cricketers of modern times and a man with more than twenty years in the first-class game I don't think is unreasonable. The one thing I really would have liked would have been a photo, but sadly there seem to be no suitably-licensed pictures of Hick available. Loganberry (Talk) 01:01, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Length again 

message: I removed the photo that User:Ernst Stavro Blofeld added, for which he used the  template, and repeat here what I said on his Talk page:
About the photo you added to the Graeme Hick article... it's nice, but I don't think it's going to be acceptable, because the criteria listed in the tag template include:
:where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it
That's clearly not the case with Hick: he's both still alive and still appearing in public (ie by playing cricket), and it's perfectly possible for someone to take a photo of him. Whether a free image has been created is not the point: the tag specifically requires that it could not be created. Loganberry (Talk) 23:06, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have replaced it anyway, (I am 95% sure its him now) but could someone work out how to make it bigger? SGGH speak! 16:54, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
