Ricky Ponting[edit]

I have reorganised and partly rewritten this article, which is about the captain of the Australian national cricket team, who is also regarded as one of the very best players in the world. I would like to get the article up to Featured Article quality, and whilst I am aware of an uncited statement near the bottom of the article and also aware of the need for a better photo (I can personally solve that problem), it needs a good neutral reader to identify any remaining weaknesses. Thanks. Darcyj 12:00, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed the reference tags are misplaced. It should be after the full stop and no space after it, ex leading to favourable comparisons with Don Bradman.[2] Also the sources are not cited check [1] It will explain how to cite them so that references will display the author, date etc to make it more verifiable.

  • I was attending to the reference tags - as well as correcting some and adding more references - last night when a browser crash wiped out my work. Regarding the length of the leading paragraph, per the automated review suggestions, I will move part of it to a new section. Darcyj 00:04, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Key achievements" needs to be moved to the end of the article, and needs to come from NPOV - right now it reads like something a fan has written. Also other article sections need prosifying. LuciferMorgan 02:41, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
