Article status
editI have decided to adopt this article about one of the greatest cricketers of all time as it is currently no more than a loose collection of brief notes. I've given it the beginnings of a structure and checked the infobox but, as the rating criteria provided above reveals, there is a lot of work to be done before it can rise above class=start. --Mykleavens (talk) 11:47, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
Wales
editHow did Barnes end up playing for Wales? Wasn't he from Staffordshire? – PeeJay 00:29, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
- It's a good question. Perhaps he was living in Wales at the time? JH (talk page) 08:39, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
Useful source material

Problems
editHey, article has citation requests so cannot be classed C with "no major omissions or inaccuracies". Start class only. Nowhere near complete. Here's an issue. Lead says he "took 1,432 wickets for Staffordshire at less than 9 runs each and played for the county until he was 61" and text says his "record for Staffordshire was 1,441 wickets at a cost of 8.15 runs per wicket". So. Which, if either? And CricketArchive doesnt help. --Bill (talk) 14:22, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
