Nominator(s): Harrias talk 10:30, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it meets all the requirements. It is modelled off lists such as List of Afghanistan ODI cricketers and List of South Africa women Test cricketers that have already attained FL status. Harrias talk 10:30, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Our own I Zingari article seems to imply there were Australian "gypsies" too?
  • There were, but they didn't play any first-class matches, and to be honest I'd call them seperate sides; I suppose I could add a note in though.
  • I think something needs to be added because you link to that article in the lead, and it'd be odd not to at least mention it in passing. With a ref, obviously! The Rambling Man (talk) 20:30, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Added something in now, what do you think? Harrias talk 11:02, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think you mean "Old Harrovian" rather than "old Harrovian".
  • I do indeed, fixed!
  • "opposition; the Gentlemen of England and county sides became frequent opposition" opposition too quickly repeated for me.
  • Changed second usage to 'opponents', if that is still too similar, I'll change it further.
  • " who included W.G. Grace and two of his brothers in their side." maybe "whose team included W.G. Grace and two of his brothers."?
  • Changed as suggested.
  • "Their next first-class" - lost who "they" is (last team mentioned is The Gentlemen)...
  • Changed to "I Zingari's next first-class.."
  • "although the highest " perhaps "while the highest..."?
  • Changed as suggested.
  • The ? need a note to explain what they mean.
  • Will add one in.

The Rambling Man (talk) 18:56, 1 November 2010 (UTC) Thanks, as always, for your comments, some of my responses probably needs replies back from you! Harrias talk 19:54, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support (never 'eard of 'em) enjoyed it, decent list, up to scratch as far as I'm concerned. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:34, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments – Just a few nit-picks in an otherwise fine list...

  • Little redundancy here: "while the highest score for I Zingari was 147, scored by Teddy Wynyard." The "score" and "scored" is what I'm referring to.
  • "Members of the peerage also played for I Zingari; including...". The semi-colon should probably just be a regular comma.
  • The publisher for reference 1 should be in italics, since the Wisden Almanack is a printed work. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:14, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Good work, meets standards, and I'm not finding anything to nit-pick about. Courcelles 20:47, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support You might want to include a bit about the derivation of the name if you can find a source, although that's not enough to make me oppose. I made a couple of copy edits you'll want to double check, but otherwise the lead seems fine; it provides a good summary of the main points of the table and is a good introduction to the subject. I like the layout of the table, it's fairly standard and the sorting works fine. As there are 85 players I haven't gone through all the sources to double check if they're correct, but did spot-check five (from working on similar lists I know transcribing errors can creep in as you're doing the same thing over and over) and everything checked out fine. Well done Harrias on the good work. Nev1 (talk) 15:23, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
