Removing that tag is meant to be part of the publication process. Sometimes it gets missed by accident. This has been pretty much finalized since Monday. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 11:56, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Simply south: As to why we do that: You'll note that at the bottom of this article, there's a next button. If you click it, you'll find an article that is in no way finished - so we keep a draft notice on article until then. There's probably a better way to do this, though. Hmm.

Really enjoying the "featured terror" section header. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 21:03, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know anything about cricket, but yes I would certainly believe that one hundred runs in one game is an accomplishment.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 22:00, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @Vchimpanzee: I believe cricket tends to be quite a bit higher scoring than some types of games - the method of racking up points is switching between the wickets, so you can score multiple times on one hit - but a century is still very good; you'll note the list is not hugely long. However, there's often a lot of unstated background to sporting articles - and I really don't know that much about sports - so if I can't find someone else to do it (and I usually can't) I'd rather be chatty and slightly tangental than risk misleading.
