Melbourne Cricket Ground

• ... that the 1988 Women's Cricket World Cup Final had an attendance of 3,326 at the 90,000 capacity Melbourne Cricket Ground (pictured)? Source: "The crowd, given as 3,326" (The Times) and "where 3000 fans rattled around the 90,000-seat stadium" (New Zealand Cricket Museum).

• Reviewed: Palo Alto station

Created by Harrias (talk). Self-nominated at 09:51, 8 April 2020 (UTC).[reply]

• Y Article is long enough (8334 characters), new enough (moved to mainspace on 8 April, nominated same day), and article is within policy. Copyvio is at 16% but it's a false positive, as the text flagged is just scorecard text and "won the toss and batted first", both of which are sensible to be the same as the source
• Y The hook is short enough and interesting, and is supported by the combination of the two sources mentioned above
• Y Image is PD, looks good at low resolution, and is used in the article
• Y QPQ done
• Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:47, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Will be reviewing this article as part of the GAN Backlog Drive of April to May 2020. MWright96 (talk) 13:47, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, will take a look through in detail tomorrow. Harrias ^talk 20:42, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• "England had won the first world cup" - World Cup
• "Australia had beaten England" - defeated
• Wikilink wickets to the relevant article

• "once against Australia and once against New Zealand." - possible minor rewrite to avoid repetition of the same phrase?
• "Ireland and the Netherlands were well adrift," - behind

• "in Melbourne, Australia on 18 December." - comma after Australia please
• "Heather Smith, of The Sydney Morning Herald suggested that," - the first comma isn't needed I think
• Wikilink the first mention of the term "crease" to the relevant article and the same for the terms "delivery" and "over"
• "earning praise from both The Sydney Morning Herald and The Times,[9][6]" - refs in numerical order

• The MOS specifically states this is not necessary: "References need not be moved solely to maintain the chronological order of footnotes as they appear in the article..". Harrias ^talk 20:42, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's a part of the MOS that I don't agree with but it's no deal breaker MWright96 (talk) 08:17, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• "and in the fourteenth over," - 14th

• Both mentions of "world cup" should be spelt as "World Cup"

@MWright96: Other than the point I responded to last night, all have been changed as suggested. Thanks for the review. Harrias ^talk 08:53, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• @Harrias: Am satisfied with the changes and will be promoting to GA class. MWright96 (talk) 12:02, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
