*Comments
    • "In the sport of cricket, an umpire is a person who has the authority to make judgements on the cricket field, according to the Laws of Cricket.[1] " - Too much repetition and the last phrase is redundant (which implies that it is a special rule or similar). I would write: "In cricket, an umpire is a person who has the authority to make judgements on the pitch."
    • " Fifteen of umpires are of Indian nationality, six are Australian, five are South African and three are from New Zealand.[4]" - remove "of umpires"
    • Overall looks very good. I will re-review later to make a final decision. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 12:10, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • no need for "the sport of", just use In cricket  Done
  • "As of the 2010 season, an umpire receives 6 crore (US$1.09 million) as the salary for serving in one season." seems a bit having a of 2010 when its 2012 do you not have figures for this year? would also reword slightly "an umpire receives a 6 crore (US$1.09million) salary for officiating during a season."  Done
  • "Fifteen are of..." umpires should come after fifteen  Done
  • "namely Doctrove" namely is redundant  Done
  • not keen on the table width at all, leaves lots of space which is not nice to look at, would remove the width from the table altogether
  • ref 2 makes no mention of the claim it is supposed to support, think you've linked the wrong page, this goes to an overview page, should go to India's page instead  Done
  • ESPNCricinfo are article has it at ESPNcricinfo  Done
  • ref 3 needs a publication date  Done
  • ref 6 Economic Times is a work so news to be in italics  Done
  • You provide locations for some newspapers and not others, provide them for all  Done However re 3 has no location, so didn't added any.
  • You should use the cite news template for newspaper ref instead of cite web  Done

  •  Done
  • "As of the 2010 season..." it's 2012 now, where's the update?
  • Unfortunately we have no updates for 2012, eiher the BCCI wants to keep its privacy, or the media is only interested in players and cheerleaders.
  • "salary for officiating during a season" regardless of the number of matches they officiate?
  • Yeah, I think so.
  • "The official umpire partner of" do you mean that the umpires are sponsored by Kingfisher Airlines?
  • "The official umpire partner of IPL is Kingfisher Airlines; it gets branded on umpires' uniforms" not great prose at all. Maybe "The umpires are sponsored by Kingfisher Airlines whose branding is displayed on their uniforms" or similar. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:15, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The receiver of the" recipient.
  •  Done
  • "of points given by the umpires" unclear. Do you mean the umpires award each player a fair play score in every match they officiate, and at the end of the season, the player with the most fair play points wins the fair play trophy?
  • You got it almost right. The umpires give point to both the team after the match, and the one with most at the end wins.
  • Have we had the final of the 2012 IPL yet? If not, why is it written in past tense?
  • It has already held, I guess in the start of June 2012.
  • "The list includes those umpires who have officiated at least one IPL match." are there IPL umpires who haven't officiated at least one match?
  •  Done My mistake.
  • "the list is sorted by last name" not true. Dharmasena is listed before Bowden for example.
  •  Done
  • You link Mumbai in the refs but not Bangalore?
  •  Done
  • Why not link Lord's in the refs?
  •  Done
  • Ref 3 and Ref 6 both same work, but only one has a location.

  • Support Well and formatted fine. I would guess it needs a few more references, though not very necessary. @DipankanUpgraded! Tag me! 15:56, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
