Plagiarism?
editThis article appears to have been taken from Cricinfo's player profile, and left unedited, and then not having given any reference to using Cricinfo as a source...In other words, it's been pretty blatantly ripped off! I shall quote the Cricinfo article I am referring to:
[...]
Notice that some of the sentences are the same? I suggest we revert to an older revision, pre April 25

- Thanks for spotting it. I've reverted to the version before the copyright violations were added. Stephen Turner (Talk) 18:05, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Sponsor Logo
editI find the wording a little emotive and a little criticizing of Amla's position "which has led to campaigns to remove all alcohol-promoting logos from merchandise and playing gear. He objected to the advert for Castle Lager beer on the South African team kit and has been allowed to wear a shirt without the logo of a brand of South African Breweries, one of South African cricket's biggest sponsors."
- did he cause the alcohol logo removal campaign to happen? Were there even a mentionable campaign?
- did he object or did he politely ask for permission not to wear the logo?
- Why is it relevant that SAB is the biggest sponsor?
I think the writer is making their own opinion known. I suggest we tone it down to being factual. If the writer has a source they can quote then I will happily back down

- Agreed. The current wording is much better: "He has successfully requested that alcohol-promoting logos should not be shown on his merchandise and playing gear." StewieCartman (talk) 20:08, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

- "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". As is, I simply do not understand what needs to be changed. Can you be more specific? Thanks! Avicennasis @ 07:39, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
