Shikha Pandey

(

)

~~... that Shikha Pandey is the first Goa-born cricketer to play International One Day and Twenty20 cricket and the second player after Dilip Sardesai to play Test cricket for India?~~

Reviewed: 2002 ICC Champions Trophy Final

5x expanded by Vigyani (talk). Self nominated at 02:23, 28 November 2014 (UTC).

The article has been expanded 5x times and nominated within permissible time. Written in neutral tone, the article uses at least one inline citation per para. QPQ has been done. No plagiarism has been detected. The ICC source says that she is the 1st player from Goa to be selected in national team. It doesn't talk about her being the "1st Goa-born cricketer to play ODIs and T-20". The TOI source is speculating this claim (although she has achieved this feat). I'm sure another source saying this fact can be added. Thanks for expanding this article.--Skr15081997 (talk) 12:49, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I have added a Marathi reference, which states that "she is first woman and 2nd overall test player to represent goa". Hunting for more references. --Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 05:21, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

@Skr15081997: Its been difficult to find explicit references, so I am suggesting some hooks, which maybe okay with present sources. Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 06:20, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
ALT1... that Shikha Pandey is the second Goa-born player ever after Dilip Sardesai to play Test cricket for India?
ALT2... that Shikha Pandey is the first Goa Cricket Association affiliated cricketer to play international level cricket for India?
ALT3... that Shikha Pandey is the first cricketer to have played both state level cricket for Goa and international level cricket for India?

In "After Dilip Sardesai, she is the first player from Goa to be selected for any cricket national team" change "selected" to "play for" or reword according and add an immediate citation for this.--Skr15081997 (talk) 15:04, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Changes made and inline citations also done.--Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 01:44, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Goa Cricket Association isn't present in the article and the fact "first player to have played both state level cricket for Goa and international level cricket for India" is also missing. These facts need to be directly stated in the article. My review might look annoying and I'm sorry for that. BTW Chaar Sahibzaade has become the first Punjabi film to gross more than Rs. 20 crores at the box office. Thanks.--Skr15081997 (talk) 10:17, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Not annoying at all. Good reviews make the article better. I will make the changes. When I proposed these hooks initially, I didn't check the wording in the article. I thought, once you select some hook, then I will make modification according to that. Yeah, I noticed Chaar Sahibzade's box office performance. In addition to it being based on Sikh history, it provided a much needed breathing space for audience as all other movies since 3-4 years have been focussing only on comedy (with increasingly poor quality). --Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 10:29, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Changes made. Vigyani_talk^{ਯੋਗਦਾਨ} 07:12, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

AGF on Marathi sources. Good to go.--Skr15081997 (talk) 12:10, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
