Talk:Arthur Morris

Good article nomination on hold

This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of July 18, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Very much so, a comprehensive and verbose account. However, the lead is three times longer than some leads in featured articles, while only two paragraphs, they're overly detailed and I think they need to be trimmed down quite a bit.

2. Factually accurate?: Perry, Benaud, Wisden? Yep.

3. Broad in coverage?: Indeed.

4. Neutral point of view?: Very much so.

5. Article stability? No reason to doubt the stability of the article whatsoever.

6. Images?: All fine.

Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved and please let me know if you'd like me to review again when the various changes have been made. The Rambling Man 18:25, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

I've pruned the lead by about 10%. Hopefully the lead isn't too much of a big deal. Many FAs have leads of a similar and somewhat large size. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:46, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it's not a big deal, it was just something that stood out, and you've pruned it sufficiently I think. It's a good basis for a WP:FA to be honest, so promoting it now to WP:GA is no big deal either! The Rambling Man 08:20, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Arthur Morris

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Arthur Morris's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 06:09, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Test Broadcast

Is it worth mentioning that Arthur Morris's last over in the 1953 series was used for many years by the BBC as a TV test broadcast? Probably means that Arthur Morris has bolwed more balls on British TV than anyone else.... I'll see if I can find a reference.WillE (talk) 22:16, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Interesting, but seems a bit trivial to me. --Dweller (talk) 16:07, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
