Can you not use his first name (in sentences) instead of last name to avoid confusion? His father appears to have the same first and last name as well.
Given that, as you say, they also had the same first name, I don't think that would make it any clearer. There is only one sentence about his father, and I think it is reasonably clear which that is. Harriastalk15:57, 11 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
Ha, I got confused while reading the bit about his brothers. Ignore this one, it's better to leave this as it is.
If "gentleman" is a technical term link it appropriately, else add a foot note.
"His best performance for Somerset during that time was against Kent, against whom he claimed six first innings' wickets". Consider rephrasing the last part of the sentence, something like " ... was against Kent; he claimed six wickets in Kent's first innings.
"a performance bettered for the university only nine times" – Doesn't sound great. Also, it should be noted that he didn't set a record straight away by taking 13 wickets; it was the third-best when he did so.
The article doesn't claim that it is a record. But I've changed it to "the tenth best bowling performance for the university." Harriastalk15:57, 11 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
"Later in the summer he claimed eight wickets against Lancashire, ..." – This sentence is extremely long.
"before Roe himself caught the professional off" – The use of the word "professional" is abrupt here. Again, non-cricket buffs would wonder what a professional cricketer is. You could simply use the name instead.
"Cambridge won the match by seven wickets, thanks primarily to brothers Charles and George Studd." – "thanks primarily to" reads pretty much like an editorial.
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
In the sentences "In the University match against Oxford, Ramsay was largely ineffective," and " His batting was less effective" you need sources to back up the "ineffective" part.
I'm torn on this. I guess it is sort of OR, but taking two wickets in a match is ineffective. I've changed it to "had little success" which is more factual, given he had just two successes. I have reworded the second instance. Harriastalk15:57, 11 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
