General issues

• Images may not meet current strict requirements, and YM himself acknowledged that he'd changed his views on images in his later FAs.
• Overuse of name of subject
• Minor POV/jargon terms which might be pulled up at FAC today.

Biographies

Harbhajan Singh

Major problems; BLP. Changes since FAR in 2008; prose issues in lead. Career since 2009 hardly covered and nothing recent. Proseline for later text. FAR needed, quite urgently?

Needs a fair amount of work to clean up prose additions, prune cruft, and ensure BLP compliance; agree that this will need FAR. Maralia (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:Harbhajan Singh's Pepsi promotional event 'Change The Game'.jpg - Fine
• File:HarbhajanSinghBowling.png - This is now seven years out of date. Really needs to be updated, or excluded. Also (and this appears to be a problem for all such charts) what's the source for the data?

• Removed this now. Sarastro1 (talk) 21:11, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:Harbhajan Singh bowling.jpg - Fine
• File:Harbhajan Singh.jpg - Fine
• File:Cricket Partnership.jpg - Fine
• File:Sreesanth.jpg - An image of this poor technical quality probably shouldn't be used.
• File:Bhajji.jpg - Generally I'd be suspicious, as this is of web resolution and lacks EXIF data... but the technical quality leaves a lot to be desired, and most copyright infringers take good images.
• File:Harbhajan Singh.png - Up for deletion, and for good reason.
• File:Harbhajan Singh bowling against Australia, October 2010.jpg - Fine
• File:Ricky Ponting YM.jpg - Looks okay, but it doesn't have the EXIF data so I can't see if the camera's make and model was the same as the other images by the uploader
• File:Anil Kumble.jpg - Fine — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:50, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Bill Brown (cricketer)

No huge issues. Largely unchanged since 2010 FT topic candidate, maintained by YM until then. A few too many Brown's; images may be questionable as policy tightened since 2008.

Fine but there are 2 images with permissions issues. Maralia (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:BillBrown2.jpg - Needs a US PD tag

  PD-URAA added. Maralia (talk) 03:23, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

• File:BillBrownNSW.jpg - When was this taken? If before 1946 (i.e. the URAA didn't apply), this needs a US PD tag. If in 1946 or later, it needs to go.
• File:Fingleton brown.jpg - Needs a US PD tag

  PD-URAA added. Maralia (talk) 03:23, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

• File:BillBrownQLD.jpg - Needs a source for this digitization, and the author. The date needs to be more specific as well; if in 1946 or later, it wouldn't be free in the US
• File:BillBrown1.jpg - Needs a US PD tag. Also, should note where in Australia this was taken (if elsewhere, other copyright laws apply).
• File:WABrown.jpg - Date? Author? US PD tag? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

The State Library Queensland has a PD-Australia image that is government owned/published more than 50 years ago; see here. It's from the cover of the weekly The Queenslander, defunct since 1939. Maralia (talk) 05:33, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:Bill Brown graph.png - Sources were missing but have been added. Maralia (talk) 03:15, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Charlie Macartney

TFA in 2012; survived that unscathed, and these are the changes since then. Again, too many "Macartney's" and the licensing of the photographs worries me.

Fine but there is 1 image permission issue. Maralia (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:CharlieMac.jpg - File is a complete mess. No source, no author. Date field is empty.
• File:Victor Trumper.jpg - Source link is dead. No indication of pre-1923 publication; US tag should be PD-URAA
• File:CGMacartney.jpg - No source, no author. No US copyright tag.
• File:Charlie Macartney graph.png - No source for the stats.

• @Crisco 1492: There is a citation given in the caption, but should there be one in the image data too? (For the record, I hate these graphs and would quite happily remove the lot.) Sarastro1 (talk) 21:13, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

• My position has always been that the image pages should be self-sufficient, and that the source of a graph's/map's data should be on the image's description page. This means that, if the graph is used elsewhere, it is still referenced. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:53, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Have added references to the image page. Maralia (talk) 03:10, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:Bradman&Bat.jpg - Source link is dead.
• File:Aus1920Team.jpg - Date should be date of the photograph. Source link is dead. Needs a US tag.
• File:Charlie Macartney.jpg - Needs a US tag. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:58, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Don Tallon

2010 FT candidate when YM active: Changes since then not huge. Over focus on one incident from 1946-47? Image problems, odd section headings and some POV issues, but all very minor. Strings of refs identified by Maralia; removed as OR on average number of byes.

Fine now, with exception of 1 iffy image. Maralia (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:DonTallon.jpg - Source link is dead. Needs a US PD tag. Pre-1948 is not enough to confirm the file is free in the US; needs to be Pre-1946
• File:Don Tallon.jpg - Needs confirmation that this was before 1946; pre-1953 is not enough to determine the US copyright. Then it needs a US PD tag,
• File:ColinMcCool.jpg - Date field should be fixed. Needs confirmation that this was before 1946; pre-1950 is not enough to determine the US copyright. Then it needs a US PD tag,
• File:Don Tallon batting.jpg - Taken 1946-47, so not PD in the US.
• File:DonTallonCigCard.jpg - Date field should be fixed. Needs confirmation that this was before 1946; pre-1953 is not enough to determine the US copyright. Then it needs a US PD tag,
• File:Don Tallon graph.png - Same as usual for these graphs.

Have added source for the data. Maralia (talk) 03:06, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:Don Tallon stumping.jpg - Taken 1946-47, so not PD in the US. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:57, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

Ernie Toshack

Changes since 2010 FT Candidacy very few. Similar issues to before with jargon/POV, but nothing too bad. Images again look a little questionable to me.

Fine aside from 2 image permission issues. Maralia (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

• Both images nommed for deletion, as their copyright would have been extended by the URAA. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:59, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

Ian Craig

Changes since FA quite substantial and need checking. Minor problems with POV, images. Section headings need work; stubby paragraphs.✓ Done

✓ No major issues and images are okay. Maralia (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:Ian Craig.JPG - Needs a proper date. Before 1955 is not enough; if this was taken in 1946 or later, the URAA would have extended it. If it's free, it needs a US PD tag
• File:Young sportspeople.JPG - Nominated for deletion; if this was taken in 1953, then its US copyright would have been renewed by the URAA.
• File:Bradman&Bat.jpg - Fine
• File:Neil Harvey.jpg - Nominated for deletion; if this was taken in 1948, then its US copyright would have been renewed by the URAA.
• File:Ian Craig defend.jpg - Nominated for deletion; if this was taken in 1952, then its US copyright would have been renewed by the URAA.
• File:Ian Craig graph.png - Source for stats? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:08, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

Added cites for data source. Maralia (talk) 03:03, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

• I've scheduled this for TFA, as Maralia said there were no major issues, and his birthday's coming up.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:20, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Jack Marsh

Changes since FAC quite substantial but survived TFA this year; a few issues raised on talk, but nothing substantial. A few issues, but nothing jumping out.

I added 1 {{clarify}} tag; 1 questionable image. Maralia (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

tag fixed. Still the image to sort. Sarastro1 (talk) 22:26, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:Jack Marsh.jpg - Needs US PD tag

Done. Maralia (talk) 05:56, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:Sydney Barnes.jpg - Where was this taken? When? By whom? Needs a US PD tag, if it is Australian. Otherwise it needs two tags. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:03, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

Not liking the chances of this having been taken in Australia. Maralia (talk) 05:56, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

Keith Johnson (cricket administrator)

Changes since FAC slight, survived TFA late 2013. Nothing jumping out.

✓ No major issues and images are okay. Maralia (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:Keith Johnson.jpg - Would have been extended by the URAA (taken in 1948, whereas the URAA applied to all Australian images taken in 1946 or later).
  • Nominated for deletion by Crisco. Maralia (talk)
• File:Services cricket team.jpg - So is it 1945 or 1946? If the former, this just needs a US copyright tag. If the latter, copyright would have been extended by the URAA
  • 1945 (they had moved on to India by October)—but taken in England. Not PD in the UK until next year, so certainly doesn't meet URAA. Crisco 1492, take care of this one too, please? Maralia (talk) 19:58, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
    • Will do. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:13, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
• File:Hassett and sismey.jpg - Image was taken in London, so (one would assume) British copyright also came into consideration... in which case this isn't free.
  • Nominated for deletion by Crisco. Maralia (talk)
• File:Sid Barnes, 16 Petersham.jpg - Needs a US copyright tag (PD-1996). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:36, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Done. Maralia (talk)

Sam Loxton

Changes since FAC very slight. However, the subject has died since FAC, and there might be things to add from obituaries, etc. Nothing jumping out.

✓ No major issues and images are okay. Maralia (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:Loxton glances Lindwall.jpg - Need a year beyond "1954, so this is okay". Since Loxton started his first-class career in 1946, it seems impossible that this photograph could have been taken before the URAA cut-off date. I'm nomming for deletion.
• File:Sam Loxton graph.png - Same issue with referencing as all the others. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:41, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

I found and cited the sources used to make the graph. Am nothing if not stubborn. Maralia (talk) 02:57, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Arthur Morris

BLP. Changes since FT slight. Usual minor issues, esp images, but looks in good shape.

I added 1 {{cn}} tag; 1 image permission issue. Maralia (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Sorted cn tag; image remains an issue. Also need to look at references for uniformity. Sarastro1 (talk) 22:33, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:Arthur Morris.jpg - Image was taken after 1945, and thus the URAA would have affected it.

Nominated for deletion. Maralia (talk)

• File:Morris&Bradman.jpg - Another URAA victim.

Listed at WP:PUF. Maralia (talk)

• File:Morris drive.JPG - Taken in the 1950s; would have been extended by the URAA.

Nominated for deletion. Maralia (talk)

• File:Arthur Morris Graph.png - Referenced. Nice.
• File:McCool&Morris1979.jpg - Assuming this is proper, since it has the OTRS tag. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:49, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Brian Booth

BLP: Changes since FAC slight. No image problems as one image has OTRS ticket. Prose looks a bit clunky.

Someone wikilink-bombed this. I cleaned up tons of overlinking; could use another check. Maralia (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:BrianBooth.jpg - Assuming this is correct. I'd remove the "move" template, though

Done. Maralia (talk) 16:57, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:Brian Booth graph.png - Referenced. I'm happy.
• File:SRWaugh.png - Feasible that this could have been created by the uploader. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:54, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Ian Meckiff

BLP. Changes since FAC minor. This one had quite a going over at FAC! Looks OK, but the usual little issues in the stats sections.

✓ No major issues and images are okay. Maralia (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:Ian Meckiff graph.png - Only one image. Referenced. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:56, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Other

John the bookmaker controversy

Changes since FAC slight. Images fine. Looking very good, with only a few nitpicks here and there. Lousy title.

Fine, with no image problems. I'm ready to remove this one, but I'd like to see it BLP tagged. Maralia (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

BLP done. Sarastro1 (talk) 21:30, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

✓ No major issues and images are both believably PD-self. Maralia (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:Shane Warne.jpg is a terrible image. File:Shane Warne February 2015.jpg is better looking, and free. Or File:Shane Warne bowling 2009.jpg. Either one has the benefit of not looking like a mugshot.

• Replaced with the Feb 2015 image. Sarastro1 (talk) 21:15, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

• File:Bob Simpson001.jpg - Convincing that this could be PD-self. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:02, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Early life of Keith Miller

Few changes since FAC but needs a check for prose and sourcing against recent standards. A little reliant on Perry? I suspect the images are dodgy! (Sorry Crisco!) (On a side note, odd that this is an FA but Keith Miller is not.)

Keith Miller in the 1946–47 Australian cricket season

Few changes since FAC, and it had some decent review there; maybe a little prose polish needed, but largely looks good. Arguably over-detailed, but I don't think too much at just over 4,000 words. Images (obviously) a problem though.

1948 Ashes series

NB I reviewed quite a few of this series at FAC, but would perhaps be a little more critical based on present standards for FA. I also have, unfortunately, a few doubts about the tone. It would fit in a cricket book or a newspaper report, but I have to wonder at the encyclopaedic tone. I'd appreciate the eyes of a non-cricketer on these; I suspect they would be impenetrable and a bit stodgy.

First Test, 1948 Ashes series

This was part of the 1948 series, and changed quite a bit after FAC; most of it done byYM but looks to be over detailing, and I think we were borderline on that anyway. This one needs a closer look, from a prose and a cricket viewpoint.

Second Test, 1948 Ashes series

Changes since FAC quite substantial and again borderline over detailing. E.g. "Before the toss, Bradman had spent an unusually long time inspecting the wicket, and after correctly predicting the side of the coin, he looked at the surface for another period before announcing Australia's decision to bat." Needs a closer look.

Third Test, 1948 Ashes series

Changes since FAC. Again, over-detailing.

Fourth Test, 1948 Ashes series

Changes since FT candidate. Not quite as bad as the others, but needs to be looked at closely.

Fifth Test, 1948 Ashes series

Changes since FT again not as bad, but needs to be looked at.

1948 Australian player articles

These look largely unchanged. They seem to have been expanded slightly by YM, but not much more added. Just need checking for images, prose and over-detailing. To be honest, these will take a while to get to as they are a little tedious, even to a cricket fanatic like me!

• Watch out for recycling
• Too much detail about the tour in general in each article?

Donald Bradman with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948

Changes since FT. This looks over detailed at 9774 words for one tour. Needs looking at. Probably some of the images could be iffy too.

Doug Ring with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948

Changes since FT. More reasonable length, just the one image (which may be superfluous) that has no issues.

Ernie Toshack with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948

Changes since FT. Similar to Ring, just the one image again.

Keith Miller with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948

Changes since FAC. Three images, maybe a problem? As the others, some expansion, looking long at over 8000 words. Check for over-detailing.

Lindsay Hassett with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948

Minor additions since FT. 6000 words seems relatively reasonable. Just the one image, the stats one. Like all these articles, a lot of recycling and a lot of detail unconnected to the subject.

Neil Harvey with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948

Few changes since FT. Length looks OK. Other than stats image, other two look dodgy.

Ray Lindwall with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948

Quite a few changes since FAC which need looking at more closely. Just the stats image. A few cases of long strings of refs, and one piece of OR with the batting position. Looks long at 8000 words.

Ron Hamence with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948

Changes since FT few. Long strings of refs, some OR like Lindwall in 48.

Sam Loxton with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948

Some additions since FT, but not many. One OR on batting position; a few long ref strings. One image, the stats. Around 5000 words.

Sid Barnes with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948

Quite a few additions since FAC and quite a lot of new material. Another piece of OR on batting position and long ref strings. 7000 words: a bit long? Two images, the stats one and an image which looks questionable as to where and when it was first printed.
