Comments
- " in both duration and in the number" -> "both in duration and the number"
- " the West Indies withdrew in protest at the 1981 South African rugby tour of New Zealand." I know the point is to expand this in the prose, but this on the face of it is so bizarre, a hint in the lead wouldn't go amiss...
- Tried to explain this a bit more, how is it? Harrias talk 09:27, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Kick those refs out of the lead, they can go where the points are expanded upon in the main body.
- You assume the readers know what "runs", "wickets" and "spinners" are in the lead.
- Linked. Harrias talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- " filled in a gap to play" I may have missed this before, but should this be something like "a gap in their playing schedule" or similar?
- Changed to "filled in a gap in their schedule to play". Harrias talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- MCG is abbreviated but never used.
- "a forty overs per side contest" ugh, I think that "forty-overs-per-side" is being used adjectively here so should be hyphenated. Or better, rewrite to avoid.
- Hyphenated for the moment: brain isn't sharp enough to rewrite at the moment. Feel free if you can think of a suitable alternative. Harrias talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- "a 60-overs per side contest" likewise. And perhaps some consistency forty/sixty vs 40/60.
- Should be sorted now. Harrias talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- "Invitations were sent to five teams; Australia, England, India, the Netherlands and the West Indies. As in 1978, Sout" Perhaps "Five teams were invited: ... but as in 1978..." to avoid the second short sentence.
- Yup, that works. Harrias talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- " in protest that New Zealand had" I guess this is apartheid-related but it needs to be spelled out.
- Small change to "that New Zealand had hosted the apartheid-era South African rugby team in 1981". Harrias talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- I think we may have a MOSFLAG issue with the invitational XI. Firstly it's almost impossible to see the difference in the Oz and NZ flags, secondly you have a Welsh flag despite the individual having played for England, and thirdly we would normally expect to see these flag names explained the first time of use.
- I've done a host of tidying here. Ultimately, I think it will be replaced by a breakout 1982 Women's Cricket World Cup squads, in the style of 2009 Women's Cricket World Cup squads. But done for the moment. Harrias talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Heyhoe-Flint is inconsistently hyphenated.
- Sorted. Harrias talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Our article on Lopamudra Bhattacharji has an "i" at the end of her name.
- Sorted. Harrias talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Marie Cornish is piped to a redirect back to itself.
- Sorted. Harrias talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- I think you could fit all five team columns in one row and eliminate that nasty blank team cell.
- Sorted. Harrias talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Wanganui normally has an h.
- The source uses "Wanganui", and our article says "Whanganui or Wanganui", no change made. Harrias talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- I would make the venue table unsortable, when you sort it you get multiple instances of that rowspanned map and it looks dreadful.
- OORRRR put the map to the right of the table outside the wikitable class....
- Made it unsortable, it looks tidier, and for such a short list, the sorting didn't add much. Harrias talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- "was broken only two days later," no need for "only".
- Removed. Harrias talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- Lots of bold text in these cricket templates, why?
- That's just how they are designed. WT:CRIC would be the best forum to discuss changing that, I would guess. Harrias talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- "Bird became" full name and link first time.
- No images of any players available?
- Not any that were notable in this tournament that I can find, no. Harrias talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- "just ahead of the" no need for "just"
- Removed. Harrias talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- " Barb Bevege's " she was Barbara before.
- Sorted. Harrias talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- Link "bowling figures".
- Linked. Harrias talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- And "five wickets in an innings".
- Linked. Harrias talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- Is the C in ESPNcricinfo" capitalised or not for the references?
- And italics or not?
- Consistent, e.g. The Age is linked second time (I think) in the refs.
- All three should be sorted now. Harrias talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
That's enough for a first quick pass before my battery runs out. It's on hold. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 10:32, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- @The Rambling Man: Well, turns out I left this as a pile of poo. Will start tidying this afternoon. Harrias talk 12:02, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Fear not. Nothing like some of the GAs I've reviewed!! The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 12:08, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- @The Rambling Man: Okay, back for more, please. Harrias talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- The only thing I didn't note the first time round is the "n.a."s in the fair use justification, those need to be fixed. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 07:55, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- @The Rambling Man:Cheers: I've changed it to a logo specific rationale table, which should have sorted that. Harrias talk 09:16, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
