    Changes to the project banner

    [edit]

    Hi! I have made some changes to the project banner in its sandbox version:

    Others, please let me know what your thoughts about this are... Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 11:44, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Also, why is the to do list on a talk page, instead of a project page...? Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 11:53, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @AssociateAffiliate, Bearian, Jhall1, Joseph2302, Jpeeling, ReturnDuane, and Spike 'em: or anyone else: what are your thoughts about this... Vestrian24Bio 02:55, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I have no opinion. Bearian (talk) 02:56, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Help with a rejected Article for Creation...

    [edit]

    It's me again, without a research question. If you pay attention to the front page, you'll notice my Article for Creation request on John West. Today (25 February), it got rejected for what's said to be the same reasons that the previous version got deleted, even though it doesn't have much of a resemblance to the version deleted in 2022. I bring it up here because I'm wondering what anyone interested in reading it thinks about it, and whether I should take it through another process to get it back on Wikipedia. I've poured over a lot of old newspapers to find mentions of him (one I found actually isn't the article because I don't know where to mention how he had a reputation for hitting the ball hard), so I hope I've done him some justice. -- JustJamie820 (talk) 05:42, 26 February 2025 (UTC) (P.S. Sorry if this brings up any uncomfortable memories...)[reply]

    Second time was a charm; it passed this time. As you were... -- JustJamie820 (talk) 06:46, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    ICC Champions Trophy

    [edit]

    This article was hit by multiple vandals today. I've protected the article for now just to stop the abuse, but I don't know enough about cricket to identify a "good" version to revert to. I'd appreciate any help from people with more cricket knowledge than I have. Joyous! Noise! 17:37, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Requested move at Talk:Cricket World Cup#Requested move 9 March 2025

    [edit]

    There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Cricket World Cup#Requested move 9 March 2025 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Vestrian24Bio 12:55, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Infobox cricket tournament

    [edit]

    I am proposing some changes to the Template:Infobox cricket tournament, I've already worked up a sandbox version.

    • Reason: The |host= parameter is currently being used to refer to the country(s) the event was held, but the ICC considers the relevant governing body as hosts. This has led to many editing disputes (from 2021 Men's T20 World Cup to 2025 ICC Champions Trophy).
    • Proposal: All the current usage of |host= parameter should be switched to a |country= parameter and the |host= parameter should be for host bodies (only for ICC events).
    • Summary: If hosting body and location are the same, they should only have the |host= parameter with governing bodies instead of the countries, if they vary should have both parameters.
    • Note: This should have no impact on domestic events (including franchise leagues), because they won't be using either parameters, just as how they're now.

    I think you always want to show the country(s) where the tournament took place, in preferences to the organisation providing (some of) the stadiums. Spike 'em (talk) 13:20, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    "always want to show the country(s) where the tournament took place" - that's what currently being done, I just want to add a separate parameter for the actual organizers. Vestrian24Bio 13:29, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Example 1 shows the cricket boards instead of the countries. Every other major supporting event (football WC, Olympics/ athletics, rugby WC) shows the host city or country and then maybe the organising committee. I think cricket articles should continue to do the same, even if the ICC is a complete clusterfuck. Spike 'em (talk) 16:12, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, having a field labelled "country(s)" could be seen as listing competing countries, rather than where the tournament took place. Spike 'em (talk) 16:16, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps, we could come with a better label for it, it's just a proposal - I am open for suggestions.
    My point was that, every time organizing body and locations defer, we end up having edit wars and long talk page discussions. This could work as a solution to avoid repeating that every year. That's all. Vestrian24Bio 16:27, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Amelia Kerr

    [edit]

    Should information about Amelia Kerr’s 2024 Women's T20 World Cup be in the lead for her article? I was going to remove it myself but decided it would be better to discuss with other editors before doing so Servite et contribuere (talk) 12:53, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Also, why are WPL and WBBL stats separated rather than being T20 stats? Servite et contribuere (talk) 12:54, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd keep the prose in the lead, but see no reason why the T20 stats are not merged, as they are done for every other player I've ever seen. Spike 'em (talk) 14:16, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
