Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Collaboration of the fortnight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is for discussion on what the WikiProject Cricket Collaboration of the Fortnight should be. Anyone is free to contribute, but please don't nominate or support an option unless you are willing to help it improve if it is elected as the fortnight's collaboration. Only positive support votes will be counted, except in the case of a tie. Please also only vote for a collaboration if you are willing to take part.

Purpose of the collaboration

[edit]

Personally, I think the purpose of the collaboration should be to work up a cricket-related article to featured article status. The articles should either be in a key cricket area (eg pages on the Test nations) or alternatively close enough to featured article status already such that a collaboration is likely to bring it up to FA quality, jguk 12:19, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Propose One of the all-time great cricketers, so deserves a great article! Also about to play in the Ashes. Article is currently mediocre-to-adequate, but would be a good candidate to make really good. Stephen Turner 30 June 2005 13:59 (UTC)

  1. Propose The newest test playing country, lost too many games, but yet from time to time, staged some of the biggest upsets in history (defeated Australia, India, Pakistan over extreme odds). The article is not in a good shape now, it would be a good candidate for improvement. --Ragib 10:32, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Conditional support. I can add limited stuff only & make a map or two. Don't have too much knowledge of Ban. cricket, but will help in whatever way I can. =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:27, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

  2. Support DevanJedi 01:00, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Support and will be able to help. Nobleeagle 22:49, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Support This Article should become of FA status. Srikeit(talk ¦ ) 07:39, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Oppose. He's a worthy subject, of course, but it's too difficult to get NPOV for current and recent Indian and Pakistani players. I feel that the article is likely to deteriorate quickly as supporters and detractors add their own opinions, so I feel that effort would be better spent elsewhere. Stephen Turner (Talk) 10:22, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Support. Hosted 1st intercolonial & 1st Test - Iantalk 13:13, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support. It is indeed a shame that it is so short compared to the Sydney Cricket Ground entry. --J L C Leung 04:35, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
