[edit] Current squad

Many thanks for the addition of 'Current squad'. The practice is not to date this entry since the squad will change during the season and edits can be made 'as and when'. --BlueValour 03:38, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA on hold

This article has quite a long way to go and needs a lot of work

  • References
  • WP:RS strongly recommends against using slef-references. Most of the article's history section is sourced to LCCC's website, and this needs to change a lot.
  • Missing facets
  • Sections like budget, board of governance, team uniform, salary cap (if applicable) need to be discussed. eg, please see Indian cricket team, which is almost a GA article. (It was delisted)
  • Undue weight
  • IMHO, the records section is excessive and contains some very not so important things like the closest matches, and worst performances and so forth. A fork for List of Lancashire County Cricket Club records is appropriate, retaining only the most important things. At the moment it takes up more than half the article.
  • Results should be at the bottom prefereably in tabulated form for aestehtics.
  • Future prospects
  • This section is written in a newspapery style and there are hints of a POV. If this cannot be expanded, then it should be incorporated into teh contemporary history section.
  • Lead
  • should be a microcosm of the main body. At the moment about 75% of the lead is about the current list of players and what happened this season. It needs to be more representative.Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

More specific things will be provided later if the basics are improved. Happy editing, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Since the author seems to be away for a while, I had failed this article. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:02, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Lancashire logo.jpg

Image:Lancashire logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
