Comment - Thanks, the first para has a source; however, I need to work out how to use a magazine to source. Aaroncrick (talk) Review me! 04:44, 19 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

First up, I'm a bit of a cricket fan, but I'll try to spot jargon if it is there. Like a lot of people, I had no idea who this bloke was when he got a century earlier this year, and this was the first place I turned. Good to see it in good shape.

That's it for now. When you've sorted through this, I'll do a second pass, and have a look at the references. Cheers, Apterygial 04:48, 19 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Done the rest I think. Aaroncrick (talk) Review me! 08:22, 19 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
I've crossed off the ones which have been dealt with. Where there has been no change made, could you please explain why? Chances are, there is a great reason, in which case it will stay as is. Apterygial 22:42, 19 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
Just that ref that needs sorting out. I give it a read-through tomorrow with a view to close, so obviously I'm not going to hold you to the 7 day rule. Apterygial 12:28, 26 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Believe it or not, my phone line (and hence my internet) went down in a thunder storm on Friday, when I was halfway through doing the final sweep.

    B. Focused:  
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:  
    Would prefer few quotes, but within acceptable limits.
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:  
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

Overall, it passes the GA criteria. The key thing with an article like this is to continue to keep updating it. Nice work. Apterygial 05:51, 30 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

GA Reassessment

edit
This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Tim Paine/GA2. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

This article became a good article in 2009. since then the quality of keeping up with Paine's career is not GA quality. there is a large chunk on his Test debut in 2010 which may be WP:UNDUE we don't normally write that long on their debut. text like this "Controversy arose in Pakistan's following series against England, when a report by News of the World said that Pakistani players Mohammad Asif, Mohammad Amir and Salman Butt had accepted bribes from agent and bookie Mazhar Majeed to purposely under-perform at certain points in the Fourth Test at Lord's" is not related to Paine.

and hardly anything on his career since 2011.

It therefore does not meet the criteria: 3.Broad in its coverage(lacking detail from 2011) 4.Neutral (undue about 2010 debut) LibStar (talk) 00:00, 10 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'll have a crack at chopping down that wall of text about his test debut in the next few days. The problem about covering his career post-2011 is that there hasn't been much of it, he's sort of dropped off of the radar, although he's gotten a few games in the BBL that can be mentioned.

I am going to delist this article as GA, as I've kept this discussion open for 5 months. it still has a significant gap from 2011, yes his international career has waned but this should be detailed or at least his state and IPL career. LibStar (talk) 04:05, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

"Former"?

edit

The opening calls him a "former" cricketer. I know he may have played his last game, but it's not impossible that he will play again. Should this really call him "former"? --Quark1005 (talk) 19:25, 20 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Agree. He said he was taking "indefinite leave" from all forms of cricket, not permanently retiring from all forms of cricket. He plans to return, but he can't say when at this stage. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 19:33, 20 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Agree - fixed. If we remove the word international we can get away with what we have pretty much I think. Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:03, 20 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
