Talk:W. G. Grace/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The quality of the cricket-related content is high, but the language could be clarified a little for the general reader. The total lack of inline citations is a definite drawback. More attention could be paid to his life outside out of cricket, and the sections regarding his various career accomplishments could be shortened a little. The frequent praise of the subject also calls into question the NPOV of the article, and makes me think that right now it reads too much like praise from a fan to be what is generally thought of as an encyclopedia article. I might suggest reading some of the other good articles and featured articles about sports figures, like Brian Close and A. E. J. Collins, for ideas on the proper tone of the article. As it is, there is far too much information for the article for anyone to think of it as being "Start" class or lower, but serious and enough drawbacks to keep it from being "Good Article" status without some major editing. And the need for inline citations is critical. Badbilltucker 14:54, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
