Talk:Wes Hall

POV
I understand that this guy is a great cricketer and all, but the tone of this article is completely out of keeping with encyclopedic standards. I hesitate to edit, as I know little about cricket, but I do know enough about Wikipedia policies to know that this does not meet them. Please try to tone down the hagiography.

 * True, it is a little over the top. I'll give it a go later if nobody else gets to it first. -dmmaus 06:56, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

WP Cricket importance assessment
I think "low" was definititely too low. I've set it to "high", though I'm open to being convinced that it should be "med".

Politics
Hall's career in politics could be expanded to a section on its own if I could find some sources. I can find glimpses of it but not in reliable sources. I can't find out when he was appointed to the Senate, for example. He apparently left politics as a result of an 8% pay cut placed on the public service by his government, but no sources actually saying this. It's a bit frustrating. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 20:53, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Also, Hall attended university in the UK. Does anyone know which one? Did he complete his degree/diploma? -- Mattinbgn (talk) 21:44, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Great stuff
This is a really good piece of work. Just wondered about this:
 * Hall himself claimed that it was his finest hour

Could finest hour be placed in quote marks? It would then counter objections that the section header is POV. --Dweller (talk) 10:26, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. It most certainly could and I have now done so. Cheers, Mattinbgn (talk) 13:46, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

To be added. Knighthood by Q.E. II
