Wikipedia:Peer review/Kenya national cricket team/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article looks good and is fairly sourced, what do the reviewers think needs to be done to give it a FA push.--THUGCHILDz 00:21, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a few suggestions:
  1. The intro should be expanded to summarize the entire article. Usually two or three paragraphs. See WP:LEAD
  2. Are there any free-use pictures that can be added? -- Underneath-it-All 02:10, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'll look for some pictures and will get to work at the lead too, thanks.--THUGCHILDz 02:16, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My review, just some quick pointers to improve the article.

  • The lead should be expanded due to the size of the article
  • In the History section, here are some suggestions
    • Merging stubby sections like "Early Days", "ICC Membership", "1996 World Cup".
    • Can the tournament History section, with all the statistics be moved into tables, it would look better. Like
World Cup
Year Details
1975 First round (as part of East Africa)[8]
1979 Did not qualify (as part of East Africa)[85]
so on
    • Can the "The Future" section be a sub section of "History", which although it isn't history, it is going to be and that section should be expanded.
  • Maybe a table for the current players
  • Use {{dablink}} to link List of Kenyan ODI cricketers and List of Kenyan first-class cricketers
    • Here, add {{dablink|For a full list of Kenyan ODI and first-class cricketers see [[List of Kenyan ODI cricketers]] and [[List of Kenyan first-class cricketers]]}} to the top of the "Players" section, and remove the section "List of Players"
  • May use tables for the "Records" section, which may need expanding. It may be better to type the Records section.
  • Avoid red links, there are a few throughout the article, just leave them without links.
  • Categories need to be in alphebetical order (numbers 1-9, then, letters A-Z)

Thats a quick review. SpecialWindler 09:36, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
