Talk:Mustafizur Rahman

Good article status
I was surprised to see this listed as a good article, and see that the review only took place recently. My concern is mainly with the "reasonably well written" criteria. I see that concern was expressed about this in the review, but that the article was subsequently judged as being up to standard. There are quite a few sentences in the article that I find hard to understand the meaning of. Some examples: These issues can probably be resolved pretty easily if someone has the time to proofread the article and check the sources to clarify meanings, but unless this happens then I don't think that it is appropriate for the article to be listed as a GA.

 * "He was embraced heavily in his outset as he took most number of wickets (13) in a debut ODI series". Embraced heavily by whom, and what is "his outset"?
 * "Mustafizur Rahman's interest in cricket rose when he started practising the game 40 kilometers away from home every morning, led by his brother Mokhlesur Rahman". In what way was he led? Did his brother teach him, show him the way to the place 40 kms away, etc.?
 * "He was admitted to the BCB's base of fast bowling". What is a base in this context?
 * "Reluctant to consign him, the BCB would commence a controversy regarding this". Huh?
 * "The match became more eventful as he was fined for the jolting conflict with Indian captain MS Dhoni". What is "the jolting conflict"?
 * "While delivering the last ball of the second match, he felt inconvenience due to shoulder injury". Poor grammar.
 * "Rahman was assisted by captain Mashrafe Mortaza on post-match interview twice, and on a press conference once". Assisted in what way?
 * "Normally, he struggles on media as an individual right from the beginning of his career". Poor grammar.
 * "In his first ODI match, he was whacked by the Indian batsman MS Dhoni on two occasions: the first time they both collided while Dhoni was running and Rahman blocked the crease; and the following collision was pretty much same except Dhoni deceiving Rahman by thrusting him. The incident cost both men to be fined post-match". Strange grammar and choice of words.
 * I started to check some sources, and ran into more problems. The article states that "Batsmen also find it difficult to read his bowling line and length". The source for this claim is about a three-match series, in which "India's top batsmen failed to read his line and length". Can we generalise based on three matches? I would argue not.

 * Thanks for the heads up (and for checking over the article). I will say that I had a number of concerns about the writing, but the particular ones you raised I chalked up to being a different variety of English. I think the article could be better written, which is why I recommended a peer review, and I recognize maybe our standards for "reasonably well written" are a little divergent. I removed the controversial line. If the rest of your issues aren't addressed in a reasonable time and you think the article should not be listed as a GA, I recommend a community reassessment.

 * Thanks for your response, Wugapodes, and for removing that sentence. I do think there are genuine problems with the clarity of the article. I've also just spotted "Rahman assessed in his emergence to international cricket by bowling off cutter". I don't believe that that makes sense in any variety of English. I would normally be happy to proofread the article myself - it's not long - but I do think that any proofreader will need to check lots of sources for meaning, and I don't have time for that at the moment. If things aren't fixed, I'll do as you suggest and list it for reassessment. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:43, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
 * thanks for taking your time for analysis. It seems like I am the only one involved to upgrade this article. Anyways I am done (if not perfect) with the cleanups you suggested. I would appreciate more critics. Ikhtiar H (talk) 10:15, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Ikhtiar H. I hope you didn't take my comments too personally. You've done a good job with the article - I just think that the GA status was a bit premature. Your cleanup has helped, although some of my comments still stand (e.g. what does "Rahman assessed in his emergence" mean?). It shouldn't be all up to you to fix this, by the way. It would be good to get someone else in to help with the copy editing. Cordless Larry (talk) 16:41, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Teams
The article currently lists Rahman as playing for six different domestic teams simultaneously. I know that players often play for a few teams in different countries, but is he really on the books of six clubs at present? Cordless Larry (talk) 10:47, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * He isn't playing 'simultaneously' for different teams. Currently, he is in Sunrisers Hyderabad for the ongoing Indian Premiere League which is held only for a month. I don't know much about Sussex County Cricket Club, but I am quite sure that the season will start on May for around there months. He played for Dhaka Dynamites back in December 2015 in BPL and it will happen this year also. He was selected Lahore Qalandars for this year's PSL season but missed out for injury. A cricketer can skip domestic games whenever there are international matches. Ikhtiar H (talk) 10:19, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . I was aware that cricketers are able to play for different sides in different countries due to the way that seasons work (my use of "simultaneously" was unfortunate), but six seemed a lot and I wondered whether we had failed to notice that he had finished playing for some. Perhaps not, though. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:15, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Revert
Why did you revert this? Unless it is a vandalism, please always explain in the edit summery or the talk page of the article before reverting an edit. - Mar11 (talk) 13:19, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Franchise T20 statistics are irrelevant. I reverted IPL 2016 because the season is not over yet (waiting to summarize the final result). Plus it is unnecessary to note down all the batsmen he dismissed. Ikhtiar H (talk) 09:04, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay. - Mar11 (talk)

GA Request
This article has been tagged for a GA reassessment. A tag on the front asks for it to be updated. This will need to occur. It probably could do with a good copy edit too. In international career it has a subsection for injury problems, yet is not really about injury problems. It just seems a bit light on details in general. AIRcorn (talk) 04:03, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
