Talk:West Indian cricket team in England in 2007

message: Anyone else think the Quadrangular series should now be split? Not only is it not actually hosted in England but with 4 teams participating I think it could do with it's own page, perhaps Quadrangular Series in Ireland in 2007? AllynJ 22:03, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree. With the 6 matches and some background story it could have its own page. Wild8oar 07:38, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Could do with some more information but there's not much floating about yet; whilst Cricinfo have a page on it it is (almost literally) empty, and CricketArchive haven't got it listed yet. I'm sure closer to the time there'll be plenty. :thumbsup: AllynJ 18:40, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Splitting the article 

message: In previous seasons, layouts of a series have seen matches individually titled as well as being under a seperate title. I've changed the Tests to show what I mean, but there may have been some discussion to scrap this I'm unaware of. If not shall I change the ODI matches? I think it looks nicer anyway, also that way you could have the matches in chronological order rather than by match grouping (so the tour matches are placed properly) as the title shows clearly the match. Not that the last part has to happen because of the first. Tony2Times 01:19, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think there was any discussion as such, however it seems a bit odd to put dates in the title when they're listed just one line below in the mini-scorecard; other than that, yes, it's a good idea I'd say. :) AllynJ 11:27, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Titled matches

message: Er... is it just me who thought it was a _good_ idea to have them? User:Greatestrowerever just removed them, but I think that's a) not the way to go about it but b) also a bad thing for the page. Thoughts? AllynJ 15:33, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well naturally I'm slightly biased because I wrote it, but as I said it was probably over detailed as I got carried away. Still though, taking it ALL away? Some interesting things have happened in the match, and if you don't want to read it - skip over it. It used to be the way that all matches had brief commentary written after them and it was one of the reasons I came here rather than CricInfo. I'm up for returning back to the previous edit, but I don't know how.Tony2Times 16:05, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't even have a problem with the length, personally... Maybe if it was going to FAC it would need to be shortened for general summary style, but I definitely think removing it was bizarre. I see no precedent for removing it either, the excellent West Indian cricket team in England in 1988, a Featured Article, has reasonably long prose on every single Test match after all.

text: Reports are key if the article is ever going to progress beyond a glorified stub. Clearly needed. Sam Vimes | Address me 17:13, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I edited over someone else's commentary due to some habitual clicking, someone might wanna roll back to the previous edit.Tony2Times 18:12, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hope you don't mind - I felt that the old version lacked sources and had the occasional English bias, think my version is a bit more sourced and neutral, but you're of course free to improve it. I'll read through what you wrote and try to incorporate that too. Sam Vimes | Address me 18:18, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Match report 

message: This article does not state all the captains in the main heading, for example Darren Ganga was captain after the second test. Chris Gayle captained the West Indies in the Twenty20 games and the first 2 ODIs while Andrew Strauss captained England on the first test. Paul Collingwood also captained England in the limited overs games. This should be included in the article as it is a important piece of information and should be in a obvious area such as the main table at the beginning. Monsta666 13:44, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
