I believe this article should be a Featured List because it meets all the criteria.Blackhole77 talk | contrib 16:59, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Current ref 6 is lacking a publisher.
    •  Done
Otherwise sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:35, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

  • " International Cricket Council(ICC) on this list are recognized by the ICC" - space after the Council. Not keen on the US English too - recognised.
    •  Done
  • "founded in Lord's" - in or at? And explain what Lord's is to the uninitiated.
    •  Done
  • " These members were soon joined by India, New Zealand, and the West Indies in 1926 and later joined by Pakistan in 1953.[2]" - this implies India, NZ and WI joined in same year but it doesn't make it explicit - is that what you mean? Also - "joined" used twice quickly reads badly.
    •  Done
  • "South Africa resigned due to South Africa " - awful prose.
    •  Done
  • "new rules " - did you mention the original "old rules" anywhere?
    •  Done
  • "Associates" - did you mention the new rules only allowed new members to be Associate members?
    •  Done
  • "this time the International Cricket Council." -poor prose again, at least "this time to International Cricket Council" or similar.
    •  Done
  • Full Member - I guess I missed the bit where you discussed the difference between a Full and un-Full Member?
  • No, I didn't - I just didn't get there. If you use terminology like that then you should explain it before you use it rather than afterwards.
  • "Although in a few Affiliate Members cricket is the national sport e.g. Bahamas." - is this a full sentence?
    •  Done
  • Is it "associate member" (per caption) or "Associate Member" per lead?
    • Per lead
  • "Representative teams" - why capitalise R?
    •  Done
  • The section before the Full Members section seems to be a brief rephrase of the last para of the lead.
    •  Done
  • "15 July 19091 [3]" - remove the space before [3]
    •  Done
  • In fact, since every Full Member is referenced with [3] then you could just reference the member since heading.
    • What do you mean by referencing from heading?
  • "Top six Associates are awarded " - what is Top six?
        •  Done
  • "laws ..." or "Laws... " of Cricket?
    • Laws

SatyrTN comments
  • I don't think being able to sort by "Governing body" is helpful, since that's free text.
  • "All the Full Members' representative teams from each of the Full Members are qualified to play official Test matches." That sentence is confusing to me. Do "Full Members" have several teams they represent? "from each of the Full Members" - from each of the Full Member nations? I don't understand :)
    •  Done
  • From what I gather, there are qualifications to being a Full Member - are these listed somewhere?
