Philadelphian cricket team[edit]

This is a very interesting article about a little-known American sports team. One reviewer has already requested that more information be given on non-first-class cricket matches. Surely the team played less important matches, but I've not found information on those yet. The article seems to me to be a bit to much of a match summary, but I'm not sure how to remedy that. Any information that can be provided to make this article better would be much appreciated. I'd like eventually for it to become a GA with a view towards and FAC. Thanks a lot.--Eva bd 13:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A credit to the editors after my first read this article is in better shape than most that appear at FAC. Its well referenced, appears to cover the subject except for the period between the last Australian visit and 2004. Question what happened after 1912 did everybody just pack up their kit and walk away? Gnangarra 13:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
An excellent question. That's what I'm looking into right now. I'm trying to get my hands on a couple of books that will explain the prehistory of this article as well as what happened after the first-class span ended. Hopefully I'll get to that soon. If anyone else has any sources on it, they are welcome to add. Thanks for the compliments.--Eva bd 13:52, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Needs a copyedit
  • What was the home ground of the team? Can a picture be sourced of the ground today?
  • Team logo (if possible)
  • Graph of the FC wins/losses

  • I agree that it needs a copyedit. I think that ought to wait until all of the bits and pieces have been put together properly.
  • I'm not sure that the team ever had a "home ground." Most of their matches in the states seem to have been played at Germantown, Belmont, Merion, and Philadelphia. There are images of at least three of those on the commons (I'll have to check to be sure). We could add a section listing which grounds the matches were played on.
  • I'm not sure if there was ever a logo. Did sports teams in this period do that sort of thing? I'm still working on getting my hands on Lester's book that may have a lot more inforation.
  • Graph of the FC wins/losses--good idea.

Thanks for your input. I'll do my best to get all of this implemented soon.--Eva bd 13:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's been about a couple weeks since this PR was updated. I think it can be closed now and we can implement the suggested changes. I've added a todo list to the talk page using these suggestions. Thanks all.--Eva bd 14:47, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
