message: I've been working through this one as it unexpectedly popped up on my watchlist with a very odd edit. As far as I can see right now we need more to be able to suggest he was an all-rounder or his handedness don't we? Let alone the first great all-rounder? I've not got access to all the books, and am going on trust where I don't, but is there anything that can be cited to show things like handedness? I'm entirely happy that the article exists, and will see what else I can find, but we'll need a bit more to show that won't we? Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:09, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Some of the information, probably including Waymark's batting and bowling styles, came from an unpublished MSS by Goulstone in the 2000s. Verification was much looser then and we tended to add stuff on good faith if it seemed okay. Anything found by Goulstone was given the benefit of the doubt but you can't cite it now if still unpublished. Much of the background info can probably be sourced to Rob Light. John Major and PWT are usually okay for that level of detail. Ashley-Cooper has a contemporary piece about Colchin which says he and the two Bennetts were the best batsmen around in the 1740s, although other sources suggest Newland was. Given WP:V, might be best to say we don't know what Waymark's styles were. Hope the Light citation is okay now: you need to use the editor and work variables in addition to the usual. 92.31.4.56 (talk) 12:00, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. Do you know where the Ashley-Cooper piece is? I don't think anyone would have a problem with Goulstone if you can find any sort of citation for it - in his case I'm not sure it matters if it were formally published; it could always be caveated. I always forget about the helper thing with cites. Blue Square Thing (talk) 15:25, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I should have said. It's in the potted bios on , page 84 of the 26 April 1900 issue. It's from a 1746 magazine of sorts called The Connoisseur. ASW's entry is under Robin, not Colchin or Long Robin as you might expect. Let me know if I can be of more help but I won't be available again till much later this evening. Thanks. 92.31.4.56 (talk) 16:22, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, OK - not sure that helps us too much with Waymark mind. There might be a quote from Major - page 47. If you have a copy. I can source it from somewhere else as well, but it'd be helpful to have that. No rush though. Blue Square Thing (talk) 16:12, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
