Featured list candidates/Australian Cricket Hall of Fame/archive1

Nominator(s): The Rambling Man (talk), Mattinbgn (talk) 06:16, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Australian cricket again? I took this up from a load of great work by Mattinbgn (who I've taken the liberty of co-nominating) and polished it, twerked the sorting mechanisms and added some more lead material. As ever, I will work tirelessly to address any and all comments made here, thanking you in advance for all your energy. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:16, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That is all for now. Cheers – Ianblair23 (talk) 01:20, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TRM, I have made the spacing in the table consistent, added commas to the figures over 1,000 and corrected some of stats. Further things required are below:

Sorting for the high scores needs correcting (not out scores to come before those scores where the batsman was out)

Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:35, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorting for the balls, maidens, runs, wickets, best and stumpings needs correcting

Done, I think. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:35, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers – Ianblair23 (talk) 03:20, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support Comments from JennyOz[edit]

Prose

"The Australian Cricket Hall of Fame was an idea conceived by the Melbourne Cricket Club to honour Australia's legendary cricketers." - is verified by prev ref, perhaps move ref?
There are (by necessity) many mentions of Australia/n so maybe at "It was inaugurated on 6 December 1996 by the Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard.", remove 'of Australia'?
Change 'inaugurated' to 'opened' (to differentiate other inaugs plus the Howard transcript ref uses 'opening'.)
Selection committee, Peter King - wlink to Peter King (cricketer) - confirmed same fellow per ESPN Peter Denis King and MCC website and VMA.
"New members are inducted at the Allan Border Medal night." - insert 'annual' before Allan.

TRM, I will look at table next but can you pls confirm 'matches' column is intended to be within batting group? Thanks. JennyOz (talk) 14:40, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JennyOz, all done, and I moved matches out so it's no longer just within the batting column, great spot, thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:51, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

TRM, There are a few old iffy figures (eg Simpson's batting average 46.82 v 46.81 - maybe espn changed their rounding parameter??, some first class instead of Test stats) - do you prefer me to make the changes or list them here? Also, if debut is in say a 86-87 series but player's 1st Test match is in the January, we use 87? JennyOz (talk) 05:23, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JennyOz, its altogether possible that I made a typo or inherited one or two, feel free to make the changes you deem necessary. Test debut I would imagine we should use the actual year not the start year of the series. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:20, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

McCabe can be archived now
Key General - Career - clarify only Test career span?
Key Batting - remove Matches now?
Key Batting - add NO Not Out
Key Bowling - add Runs - runs conceded

I reckon I'm done. Thanks! JennyOz (talk) 13:10, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

JennyOz I've done the key changes, I don't seem be able to get the archive bot to work right, but I will try again. Hopefully that doesn't stand in the way of your support. Thanks for all your comments. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:23, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Added archiveurl manually, hopefully all done now! The Rambling Man (talk) 13:31, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Happily signing for support. Thanks for the fixes and your patience. JennyOz (talk) 13:52, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support I've made some small tweaks, all the issues here have been addressed. Nice work! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 19:41, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
