message: Are there any female participants or anybody with a good knowledge of Women's cricket in WikiProject Cricket? I think we need some because every single article on women's cricket is terrible. I think all of them are stubs! DaGizza 07:16 20 September 2005
:Yeah - it's been pointed out for quite a while, but no one has actually gotten round to fixing it. I think a good start would be to make List of Australian Women's Test cricketers, for example. Sam Vimes 07:23, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I can honestly say that I don't know a thing about womens cricket, or most sport for that matter. But I think a better way to build up the area would be to start with major competitions, teams and then down to players since many players may not be interesting enough for a biography article (i.e. too little information about to write an article longer than a stub).--nixie 10:25, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

text: Entirely agreed - and I say that as the author as a few of those stubs! I think "terrible" might be a little harsh, but "totally inadequate" wouldn't be. Women's cricket itself is still a redlink, which is just embarrassing. Loganberry (Talk) 22:39, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Women's Writing Woeful! 

message: Just a question: I know Donald Bradman is the current collaboration of the fortnight, but where exactly is it being discussed? I'm interested to know what improvements are being made, and if there is anything people think the article needs that I might be able to provide, but I can't find any evidence of collaboration on it anywhere: not on the article talk page, not on the Collaboration of the fortnight talk page and not on this talk page. I'm sure I'm just not looking in the right place, but where exactly is it being discussed? I posted a comment on the Don Bradman talk page about a new picture I found, and to my surprise this was the first comment on the page. I would have thought that the talk page would be very busy.

replies: text: I think if discussion is needed, it should take place on the article's talk page. Stephen Turner 10:41, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Exactly, and I wouldn't have thought you could have collaboration without discussion. I'm just wondering where the discussion happens to be. Raven4x4x 05:05, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

text: That isn't the sort of discussion I'm talking about. That page and the  talk page there is all about what should be the COTF, changing the COTF and improving the COTF process etc. I'm looking for discussion about the Bradman article itself, ways it can be improved etc, which is discussion I'm sure should be happening for the COTF. I'm very surprised that such discussion isn't going on the talk page of the article in question (there is still only my message on there, with no replies), and I'm asking where that discussion is.
