Talk:Hashim Amla

Plagiarism?
This article appears to have been taken from Cricinfo's player profile, and left unedited, and then not having given any reference to using Cricinfo as a source...In other words, it's been pretty blatantly ripped off! I shall quote the Cricinfo article I am referring to:

[...]

Notice that some of the sentences are the same? I suggest we revert to an older revision, pre April 25

Sponsor Logo
I find the wording a little emotive and a little criticizing of Amla's position "which has led to campaigns to remove all alcohol-promoting logos from merchandise and playing gear. He objected to the advert for Castle Lager beer on the South African team kit and has been allowed to wear a shirt without the logo of a brand of South African Breweries, one of South African cricket's biggest sponsors."


 * did he cause the alcohol logo removal campaign to happen? Were there even a mentionable campaign?
 * did he object or did he politely ask for permission not to wear the logo?
 * Why is it relevant that SAB is the biggest sponsor?

I think the writer is making their own opinion known. I suggest we tone it down to being factual. If the writer has a source they can quote then I will happily back down

 * Agreed. The current wording is much better: "He has successfully requested that alcohol-promoting logos should not be shown on his merchandise and playing gear." StewieCartman (talk) 20:08, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

 * "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". As is, I simply do not understand what needs to be changed. Can you be more specific? Thanks! Avic enna sis @ 07:39, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
