I shall be reviewing this against the GA criteria as part of a GAN sweep. I'll leave some comments soon. JAGUAR 13:17, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm so sorry to do this, but I'm going to have to quick-fail the article as it doesn't meet the GA criteria yet. It lacks in comprehension; the lead itself is too short and there isn't enough general content in the body to make it a comprehensive enough article. Can more be added about Wainwright? Also, I think there's a format error in the Cricketing career section, the quote isn't meant to go off into italics - just de-italicise it! "Standing over 6 feet tall" needs a metric conversion, and the death section can be merged into a life section. Once the article is expanded, I'll be happy to review it again! Let me know if you have any questions. I really hate failing articles as a whole... JAGUAR 21:39, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jaguar, your feedback is important as it helps editors understand how to improve articles. Thank you. If I find more material on Wainwright, I shall add and reapply for GA (and would ping you in that case). Thank you. Xender Lourdes (talk) 19:20, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I'll be more than happy to review this again. JAGUAR 19:24, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
