List of New Zealand cricketers who have taken five-wicket hauls on Test debut[edit]

Featured list candidates/List of New Zealand cricketers who have taken five-wicket hauls on Test debut/archive1

Nominator(s): Lugnuts, Khadar Khani (talk) 06:19, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This list was created by User:Lugnuts, and I would like to have him as a co-nominator. I expanded the lead and organised the table a bit. I think this is now a very decent list and should have a place in featured lists. Look forward to your comments and suggestions. Regards, Khadar Khani (talk) 06:19, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Suitably link "New Zealand cricketers" to the national team.
" occasions,New Zealand won the match three times, drew three times, and lost two games" space before New Zealand, and "lost two games"->"lost twice".
"most recent of them" _the_ most recent.
In fact, " most recent of them have come at the" ->"the most recent was taken at..."
"best bowling figures by a New Zealand bowler on debut" no need for bowler. And do you mean in international cricket as a whole because you go on to say " the best bowling figures by a New Zealander in a Test match on debut" so either there's an odd repeat here, or I'm missing something.
"Paul Wiseman is the most economical," no, his fifer was the most economical.
"is the only spin bowlers to " bowler.
" with rest of the seven being fast bowlers" -> "the others being fast bowlers".
Wiseman's article says he was a spinner too....
Taylor's article states " scored 105 and took 5-86 for New Zealand on Test debut against India at Calcutta in 1964-65, the only man to have completed this all-round feat on debut. so this is noteworthy (if verified) and can be included in the lead.
"R Premadasa Stadium" has a full stop after the R.

@The Rambling Man, I think I've sufficiently done with your concerns. Please take a look and let me know if there is something missing. Thanks for the review... Regards, Khadar Khani (talk) 04:23, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi guys, this is looking pretty good. I have just reviewed this for DYK. I updated "November 2016" to "December 2016" and corrected some links. My only comments are the ESPNcricinfo needs to be unlinked in ref 5 and the image needs alt text. Cheers -- Ianblair23 (talk) 10:56, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ianblair23: done with your concerns. Thank you...! Khadar Khani (talk) 18:20, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great job. Cheers -- Ianblair23 (talk) 03:05, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sahara4u: I have picked up a few things:

In the first sentence, directly link to Bowling (cricket), Wicket#Dismissing_a_batsman and Innings.
Replace ref 7 with this link as this shows that information that your stating much clearer.
Add the following refs to after win, lose and draw: [2], [3] and [4]
"the Hagley Oval" and "the Eden Gardens". Drop the "the".
"Paul Wiseman's fifer is the most economical, ..." link to Economy rate (cricket)
Ref 14 replace with this link for the spin bowlers and add this link to the pace bowlers.
In the key, fix links to innings and Economy rate (cricket), remove the duplicate listing of Econ, remove draw and just link to Result (cricket) under result.

Comments –

"As of January 2017, 147 cricketers have taken a five-wicket haul on their debut on debut in a Test match." The second "on debut" should definitely be taken out.
"the" could be added in "Bruce Taylor is only player...".
Is it normal for New Zealand-related lists to sort by first name instead of last name? I know it is for some of the other top cricket-playing countries, but I'm not sure about this one.

Now sorted by last name. Khadar Khani (talk) 14:45, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Minor point, but the Google Books link in ref 4 doesn't really need the access date. It can be treated as a convenience link to the paper book, which is the real source; in that case, the access date is not required. Giants2008 (Talk) 00:15, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Giants2008: resolved. Thanks for the review...! Khadar Khani (talk) 13:32, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support – All of the edits look good, and I think it's up to standard now. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:02, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Harrias ^talk

Don't use "fifer" in the prose. It's fine to mention it in the first sentence, but it is slang, and does not constitute encyclopaedic language.

Done. Khadar Khani (talk) 02:11, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've been away from the encyclopaedia for a while; have we moved away from needing row and column scope per MOS:DTT. The Rambling Man used to be hot on this? Harrias ^talk 09:14, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, you're absolutely right, my oversight. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:18, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In which case, I'd recommend that the nominator use List of five-wicket hauls in women's Twenty20 International cricket as a guide, as that article is a similar to format to this one. Harrias ^talk 09:20, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As punishment to myself, I've added the row and col scopes, hope nobody minds. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:20, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the edit. Khadar Khani (talk) 02:11, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support, nice work, well done. Fancy taking a look at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/England cricket team Test results (1920–39)/archive2 for me? Harrias ^talk 07:28, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
