[edit]Seen your request on Sarastro's page, so thought I'd drop in.
- "Taking over 300 wickets across a playing career is considered a significant achievement in Test cricket." -- Who considered this?
- "Achieved" used in close succession. Could you think of another word?
- "As of August 2013, Sri Lankan bowler Muttiah Muralitharan..." -- Definite article would be better.
- Didn't get you? Zia Khan 14:52, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
- The definite article would be: "As of August 2013, the Sri Lankan bowler Muttiah Muralitharan..."
- There are two schools of thought on this, but personally I prefer "among" to "amongst", as the latter preposition is a bit old fashioned now. "Among" is also the preferred choice of both The Gaurdian and The Times here in blighty.
- I think the second image looks awkwardly placed.
- Removed. Zia Khan 14:52, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think a full stop is required within the image caption.
- A complete sentence should have a full-stop, I think?! Zia Khan 14:52, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
- Solved by the above removal. -- CassiantoTalk 15:27, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
I will leave the technical stuff for someone a bit more technically minded. -- CassiantoTalk 11:10, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comments. Zia Khan 14:52, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
- No problem, looks like a good little list this! -- CassiantoTalk 15:27, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
Comments from Harrias
[edit]- The flags are in breach of MOS:FLAG, which states that the name of the country should be provided alongside the flag.
- The flags also mess up the sorting: the players should list alphabetically by surname.
- The "tiebreak" criteria should be specified: why does Lillee appear ahead of Vaas?
- The key is missing a number of the column titles, and some are labelled incorrectly: (Ave, Avg for example).
- As the title of the table is "Bowlers who have taken.." I think the row scopes should be the bowler, not the number of wickets. Harrias talk 12:12, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
- The above concerns have been sufficiently addressed, I guess. Zia Khan 05:07, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
Comments by Rejectwater
[edit]- What is a wicket? Being able to understand this term is critical to being able to understand the article. I don't think a wikilink suffices. I really have no idea, and I doubt I'm the only one.
- Many of the date ranges in the Period column are not formatted properly. See WP:YEAR.
- "Ref(s)." should be "Ref(s)" (no period) and I imagine included in the key as well (there are several columns that have an unneccessary period after the column header).
- Image alt text. See WP:ALT, especially the Bush/Blair and Queen Elizabeth examples. Rejectwater (talk) 23:34, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
- Done, thanks for the review.Zia Khan 05:43, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
