Orphaned references in Colin McCool with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948[edit]

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 Colin McCool with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948'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.

Does this merit a separate article from the simple Colin McCool article?[edit]

I don't think so. I don't know that this article actually violates any part of Wikipedia rules, but it seems incredibly redundant. An article for Colin McCool is important, as is an article for The Invincibles. However, a separate article "[Player Name] with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948" for each of the players involved is completely unnecessary. The information in this article should be merged into one of the two aforementioned articles (Colin McCool and/or Australian cricket team in England in 1948) and then this article should be deleted. Same with its counterparts (Doug Ring with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948, Ron Hamence with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948, etc.).

Undue is the obvious reason, otherwise if all tours were treated the same the article would be uncontrollably big. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 02:00, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
