Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Cricket Collaboration of the Month

The current Collaboration of the Month drive is .

Cricket Collaboration of the Month is a means for WikiProject Cricket members to work together and improve an article each month. The aim of the collaboration is to get at least one cricket related article on the main page per month.

Current Collaboration
Not yet selected.

Next Collaboration
Nominations for the next collaboration of the month should be made below; please do not nominate an article unless you are willing to contribute(help out) with the article. Editors who are willing to work on that article should add their signature below that article. When a new collaboration is to be chosen, the nomination with the most active supporters should be chosen.

Ideally, nominations should have a free picture of acceptable quality, so that if articles reach featured status they can be shown on the main page. However, it is perfectly acceptable to nominate an article in order to improve it to good article status.

2007 Cricket World Cup
I think most of the articles on the 2007 CWC is very close to FL/FA status. I think we should take up making any changes and moving all 2007 CWC related articles before it loses our mindshare. Kalyan 05:08, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Support:
 * 1) Strong support: I believe with the ground-work in place we could quite easily get a lot of these topics up to GA/FA standard (or FL standard in the case of the Squads); perhaps even going on to becoming a Featured_topics - which would be our first in the project.

Donald Bradman
I am surprised that it isn't made into a FA when I read that he is regarded as the greatest batsman of all time.--THUGCHILD z  23:26, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Sydney Riot of 1879
Well not now but after the world cup, we need to get this back to FA it can't be that hard. Just lost its FA few days ago.--Thugchildz 03:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

2003 Cricket World Cup
Needs a lot of work done to it - it is brief, untidy, and lacks a lot of prose & citations. Compared with the 2007 Cricket World Cup article, it is pitiful. к1иg--- f1$н--- £я5ω1fт 13:44, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Philadelphian cricket team
This is a very interesting article about a great American team. I've been working a lot on sourcing the statements that were in it, but it needs more work on pre- and post-first-class periods. It has a couple free images which would make it suitable for the main page at some point. It's being Peer Reviewed right now.--Eva b d  20:41, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Virender Sehwag
I have started to clean-up the article for major Indian cricket players and the Sehwag article has gone through a lot of scrubbing. Some work left on it on his test career and then we could probably take it for a peer review. Kalyan 20:45, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Failed Collaborations
Article's below are the articles that were in the CCOTM but failed, although members might want to go back to it.

cricket
Inline citaions needed and bit of summarizing/copyediting needed; should be the main priority before anything else because it is the base article and most gobal attention is going to be on it during the world cup. The renovation is much needed.--Thugchildz 21:29, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
