Talk:West Indian cricket team in England in 1988

message: In section two the article notes that "the captain has a crucial role in on-field tactics and may also have an important say in team selection and other off-the-field issues, such as Mike Gatting's ill-fated support of the 1990 tour of South Africa." I'm relatively new to cricket and don't know what this is talking about. Some context might be helpful for folks like me.--Eva bd 14:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I've made the usage of "First" (etc) Test consistent (ie not "1st"). Ditto for One-Day International. Waiting to edit for man of the match, per this diff () --Dweller 16:42, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the squad section be one of the first things you read? Certainly before the tests I would have thought... SGGH speak! 07:56, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. The squads are incidental to the main body, and it is not required to know the squad before reading about the tour itself. They are supplementary material, as it were. Andrew nixon (talk) 08:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm in two minds. The England players' list is not a "squad" in its normal sense - it's a listing of all the poor fools who had the chance of having their heads knocked off that summer. The WI tour party might be worth listing higher, but hopefully the prose makes it less necessary. What do others think? --Dweller (talk) 13:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

message: It may be me but I read the phrase "an alleged off-field indiscretion with a barmaid" as being irritatingly imprecise. What was the "indiscretion" (alleged or otherwise)? Andeggs (talk) 18:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point. I'll see what I can do to fix informatively, but appropriately. --Dweller (talk) 19:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The cited source had useful additional information without descending into being scurrilous. Hope that does the trick. --Dweller (talk) 19:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I see paragraphs of uncited paragraphs and in it's current state it isn't up to 2014 FA standards. I will leave this here for 10 days and if no-one responds I will take it to WP:FARC, but if someones willing to work on it I will collaborate with them to make it upto FA standards - NickGibson3900 Talk 10:37, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Nick. I'm happy to work on it. Slowly. I'm guessing User:The Rambling Man might, too. --Dweller (talk) 11:44, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

message: Since the 2014 notice regarding the quality of this article, there are still a number of outstanding  templates, and plenty of other chunks of text without proper referencing. The tables do not meet the accessibility requirements of MOS:DTT, the ODIs are missing any prose description at all. Hopefully, someone will be able to address the sourcing and add more content for the ODIs, otherwise this article should be submitted to Featured article review. Harrias talk 15:06, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
