Why image deletion?

There used to be a photo in this article of a girl playing cricket. Why was it deleted in February 2010? Wi2g Wi2g 21:53, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Women's cricket

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Women's cricket's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "mostruns":

From List of international cricket centuries by Younis Khan: "Records – Test matches – Batting records – Most runs in an innings". ESPNcricinfo. Retrieved 8 December 2012.
From List of international cricket centuries by Chris Gayle: "Records / Test matches / Batting records / Most runs in an innings". ESPNcricinfo. Archived from the original on 5 March 2010. Retrieved 3 March 2013.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 12:55, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Plan for Improvement

When I start on a biography or piece of women's history, I like to leave my thoughts and intentions on the Talk page. It's a way for myself and others to see what I have planned, as I may be working on and off on a page for some time. It also provides a place for other editors to add suggestions and discuss intended improvements or contribute themselves.

Women's Cricket: Initial plan is to take pages such as Women's association football, Women's Australian rules football and Roller derby as examples and build the page out from there.

Olympics

The statement on the 2028 olympics is to definitive. The decision follows in October in Mumbai and the source seem to be from last year, but includes a newer date. The decision was not made in February as the cited Article claims.--Maphry (talk) 22:33, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing that out to me. I've reworded it and added an additional source about the final decision. MsJoat (talk) 11:41, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
