Hi

Thank you for reviewing this page and giving suggestions. I have edited this page according to the suggestions you gave me and I have given my opinions in were it could not be done Xakimoy546 (talk) 08:28, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

• No need to link India. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:59, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

  I think India should be linked , cricket is also a influential in india and vice versa Xakimoy546 (talk) 06:14, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

  That's not really the point, we don't link major landmasses. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:06, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

• India had to wait until 1952, almost twenty years, for its first Test victory - this should probably say against whom Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:59, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

   Done Xakimoy546 (talk) 06:31, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

• Ledes should be max four paragraphs. No reason to have two tiny ones placed at the end. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:59, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

General

• quadrangular tournament - this isn't really a thing. Can just say tournament. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:25, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

  Actually the name of the tournament is Bombay quadrangular Xakimoy546 (talk) 06:51, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

• was not strong in their batting at - unless this is someone's opinion, we shouldn't be stating it. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:25, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

• Australia won the five-match series 4–0 - a non-initiated person might be confused as to how this happened. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:25, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

  In the next part of the sentence it is stated that it is due the good batting of Australian's like Bradman Xakimoy546 (talk) 07:06, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

   Done Xakimoy546 (talk) 07:07, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

  That's not what I mean - a non-initiated user wouldn't know you could draw matches and it not be counted. How does a five match series finish at 4-0? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:07, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

• Star India and Airtel have been title sponsors previously.[88][89]

Star Sports Network is the official broadcaster until 2023 for all matches the team plays in India.[90] - can we merge this stuff? These are tiny paras. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:25, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

• That list of stadiums could almost be it's own article, rather than a large table in a long article. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:25, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

   Done Xakimoy546 (talk) 07:31, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

• The flags in the table for current squad completely fair MOS:ICON. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:25, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

   Done Xakimoy546 (talk) 08:05, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

  This still fails MOS:FLAG with the last ODI having flags instead of text. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:54, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

• The "pay grade section" is both uncited and unencylopedic. I'd remove. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:25, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

  I think it should not be removed as it is a important part of function of the team  Done I have also added citations Xakimoy546 (talk) 08:16, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

• The coaching section has no prose, which seems to be required. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:25, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

• Icon issues in the tournament history section.Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:25, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
• Things like the "ODI record versus other nations" and similar items seem like WP:TRIVIA and specifically WP:STATCRUFT. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:25, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

  I think that should be part of the article unlike other sports cricket values playing between nations more than clib matches Xakimoy546 (talk) 08:09, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

   Done Xakimoy546 (talk) 08:10, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

  It's not "done" if you make no effort to remove it. I don't see how these are anything other than WP:CRUFT. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:13, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

  For knowing whether a team is strong you need to know Head-to-Head record . You can also see these in page like Argentina,Brazil etc Xakimoy546 (talk) 08:33, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

  That doesn't make it encyclopedic information. We write articles about subjects, not to prove how "strong" they are. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 07:29, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

• Note a seems like Trivia, as well as uncited. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:25, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

   Done I have integrated it Xakimoy546 (talk) 08:25, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

   Done retained orginal Xakimoy546 (talk) 08:11, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

• The current sponsor of the team is BYJU's... Previously, the India - why do these sentences start with a citation? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:12, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
