Talk:Wally Hammond

message: I don't know if anyone else has read this, but I was wondering how reliable some of the details are. While a good book, it does not have any references or any indication in some places which parts are conjecture by the author or facts from other places. I have left out some of the details which seem difficult to prove, such as Hammond's thoughts or motivations. What do other people think?--Sarastro1 (talk) 16:09, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wally Hammond: The reasons why 

message: As he played football, we could do with adding a football infobox - but should it go under the cricket infobox or adjacent to the Football career section? --Jameboy (talk) 23:13, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: My own thought would be that if it fits within the football section, put it there. Failing that, put it under the cricket infobox. I'm not sure if there is a standard way to do it. I checked a few other football-cricketers but both ways have been done and I'm not aware of any FAs which would be a model to use. --Sarastro1 (talk) 23:42, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Is this a former or alternative name for Sparsholt College?
Researching Eric Hill recently, I came across the sad anecdote on p.265 of "The reasons why" - Hammond drinking on his own in bar in South Africa in 1956 or 1957 while Peter Loader and Brian Statham are celebrated nearby. -- Testing times (talk) 20:36, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Possibly a former name, but I'm not sure. Everything I've seen says Winchester Agricultural College, but I think it is the same place. --Sarastro1 (talk) 20:45, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Wondering if for the sake of comprehensiveness, whether we should note that Hammond did not participate in either of the split Test tours of West Indies and New Zealand in 1929-30. I realize this was not extraordinary—Sutcliffe and Hobbs, for instance, didn't tour that winter either—but it might make sense to settle the question for readers who come across the fact that there were two M.C.C. touring parties that season.—DCGeist (talk) 14:32, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Doesn't that rather depend on which style of referencing you're using? Which, unless it's changed recently, I don't think Wikipedia specifies. APA.7, for example, specifies non-italicised website names or urls. Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:27, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
