[edit] Harbhajan Singh

This article has had a peer review Wikipedia:Peer review/Harbhajan Singh/archive1, it has been copyedited by ALoan, and the article is a comprehensive account of the life and career of India's most successful off spin bowler and the first Indian cricketer to take a Test hat trick. It is part of WP:CRIC's {{CWC Advert}} FA Drive for the 2007 Cricket World Cup. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:26, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Support Good work on the article/bio but can you please fix the two red links, ICC referee already have an article. I think, its icc elite referee or something like that so just redirect it.--Thugchildz 07:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

• • Sure, already done so.. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:49, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Support - Well done on a brilliantly written article. Full support. — Nobleeagle ^[TALK] [C] 08:02, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: I'll look into the article content, but at first glance, the article seems to lack images. There are only 3 right now. I understand that you might be excluding FU images, but still, some more images can enhance the article. --Ragib 08:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

• Support - qualifies all criteria. cheers, Casliber | talk | contribs 10:40, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

• Support–Great article. Well done.--Eva ^bd 14:00, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

• Support At least as good as Paul Collingwood, which is an FA, so why should'nt this be? к1иg---f1$н---£я5ω1fт 16:30, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

• Support well written article with detailed info. But same problem as ragib, lack of images or more specifically, lack of good quality images --Agεθ020 (ΔT • ФC) 22:20, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Support. Incredible article. I am very impressed. - NYC JD (make a motion) 22:45, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

• Support Interesting, impressive, well qualified for FA--– Dakota 04:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

• Support, I just gave this +GA, and I agree that it probably is FA standards. Nice work! Daniel Bryant 06:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

• Support. I have copyedited, as noted above, but I am sure more eyes would be good. As I said on the PR, it does seem a little heavy on the statistics (and thus a bit light on the "brilliant prose"). Also query whether a summary of his Test (and ODI?) career statistics, like those at the bottom of Paul Collingwood and Adam Gilchrist would be helpful. A batting Manhattan graph is unlikely to be very instructive, but what about a similar thing for bowling average? -- ALoan (Talk) 11:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Support, excellent dedicated work. Well done. The Rambling Man 19:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

• Support. Nice effort in including a lot of details and weblinks. I would like to see that the controversies and criticisms in his career seperated out at a later point in time.Kalyan 10:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• Weak support - Could use more images though. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:04, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• Support - A captivating article.Bakaman 03:50, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

• Support but with one comment Genrally speaking, a excellent article. But what does India's most successful off spin bowler in the opening paragraph refer to? The current team or in India's entire history? I suggest someone insert "currently" to make it more clear. Gizza^{Chat ©} 07:02, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

• Support. Brilliant prose indeed. Michaelas10 (Talk) 18:44, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
