Somerset County Cricket Club in 1882 edit

(

... that in Somerset's 1882 cricket match against Lancashire, the stumps had to be moved, because the pitch was "a puddle"?

5x expanded by Harrias (talk). Self nominated at 22:53, 23 January 2015 (UTC).

Article expanded sufficiently, long enough, neutral, cites sources and has ample in-line references. Hook appropriate length, correctly formated, interesting, cited (albeit to a pay-walled newspaper archive) and neutral. QPQ started but not yet complete; once that is done this is good to go.

@Arb: The QPQ is now completed. Harrias ^talk 16:23, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Grand. So is this. -Arb. (talk) 17:53, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I came to promote this but noticed that the part about the stumps being moved isn't cited, per DYK rules. Yoninah (talk) 22:07, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Oops, not really sure why the ref was in the middle of the sentence rather than the end. Presumably because of the quotations. Either way, I've now stuck it at the end of that sentence, covering the puddle and the stumps moving. Harrias ^talk 22:12, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Great, thanks. Since the hook ref is offline, restoring Arb's approval with a gray tick. Yoninah (talk) 22:24, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
