List of South Africa women Test cricketers

 * Nominator(s): Harrias (talk) 11:08, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that it comprehensively covers the topic. The list is unlikely to expand at a rapid rate as women's Test matches are not played that regularly. This is laid out in the same format as the current FL (List of India women Test cricketers and I have read and used the comments from that FLC when creating this list. All comments and questions are welcome, happy reviewing! Harrias (talk) 11:08, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Comments –
 * "the SA&RWCA accepted an invitation from the Women's Cricket Association to join an International Women's Cricket Association along with Australia and New Zealand, and that international matches would be played between the four nations." Second part of the sentence doesn't match grammatically with the first; more specifically, "accepted the invitation" ... "and that" is the problem. A rewording is in order.
 * Done: have added agreed into the sentence, hopefully it makes more sense now.
 * "The first Test involving South Africa national women's cricket team...". Add "the" after "involving".
 * Done: changed as siggested.
 * What makes http://beta.ancestry24.com/articles/women-in-cricket a reliable source? I fail to see how a genealogy website would be considered reliable.
 * I have the same concern as you here, however the article itself is taken from Die Burger, a reliable daily newspaper from Cape Town. I have been trying to find an original or better source of this article, but living in England, that's the best I've been able to get unfortunately.
 * If this is from a newspaper, you could have an offline citation for the newspaper story with a page number. Instead of sourcing from a shaky website, why not cite the paper itself? There's no requirement that reliable sources have to be online, either here or in general. Is that what you mean when you can't find an original, or can you not find it on Die Burger's website?

 * To clarify; the source I cite lists Die Burger at the bottom as the source of the article. However, beyond that I can't find it; Die Burger's site is in (I assume) Afrikaans, which I'm not too good at, and finding an original of a foreign paper is beyond my means..

 * Done: until I can find a better source, I have removed the part regarding the Dutch team; as they were unofficial Test matches it's not vital information. Harrias (talk) 08:06, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Is an image possible for the lead?  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 23:25, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I wish it were! I've scoured the web for PD or free use images to put here that show South Africa played Test cricket, but the only image I can find anywhere is one I took myself of them at a Twenty20 presentation, which wouldn't be appropriate. Harrias (talk) 08:35, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Is it better than nothing?  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 23:01, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It does the job. Needs alt text, however.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 00:16, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Alt text appears to be there (as far as I can see) at the moment - is it sufficient for you? The Rambling Man (talk) 15:14, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
