List of Gloucestershire County Cricket Club grounds

Featured list candidates/List of Gloucestershire County Cricket Club grounds/archive1

Nominator(s): AssociateAffiliate, ChrisTheDude

AssociateAffiliate started this article and created the table, I have added an extensive lead and generally tweaked it a bit, and now feel it meets the FL requirements. It follows the same format as three similar lists which have been recently promoted to FL, and all feedback from those FLCs has been incorporated into this article too..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:12, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"It has since played first-class" maybe "played host to..."
What's an "out ground'?
Could link First-class cricket.
You don't actually link the Clifton ground in the lead, just the college.
You use both Bristol County Ground and County Ground, Bristol as links, I'd be consistent.
I'm not sure even the Gloucestershire Country Cricket Club article links to this....

All fixed, hopefully to your satisfaction. Thanks for takiung the time to comment -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:26, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments – looks good

~~Lead image needs alt text. In other images, alt text should simply name the ground.~~
- Done -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:33, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
~~In the table, you could add the actual dates instead of "no other matches to date".~~
- The previous three such articles I've got to FL status all used this format, I'd rather stay consistent.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:54, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
~~The footnotes are unsourced.~~
- Done -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:40, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Relentlessly

"Gloucestershire County Cricket Club is one of the 18 member clubs of the English County Championship, representing the historic county of Gloucestershire." Two separate things there. How about "Gloucestershire County Cricket Club is one of the 18 member clubs of the English County Championship. It represents the historic county of Gloucestershire."
- Altered, although in a different way to how you suggested to avoid too many short sentences. What do you think.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:54, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"It has since played host to first-class cricket from 1870, List A cricket from 1963 and Twenty20 cricket from 2003." Clubs don't "play host". They "play".
- Altered -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:54, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"The club's debut home match" Journalese. "The club's first home match" is better.
- Altered -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:01, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"Bristol has been considered an independent county since 1373, though it was officially part of the county of Avon from 1974 until 1996.[9] Somerset have played first-class matches at other venues in the city." These are odd sentences, coming right at the end of a totally unrelated paragraph. They need to stand alone or move somewhere else.
- Not really unrelated, as it comes right after extensive stuff about the club playing at Bristol and clarifies that Bristol isn't technically in Gloucestershire. I think it is relevant at that point.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:00, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"before its use was discontinued in 1992." You mean "until".
- Altered -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:00, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I find it odd that our article is at Trowbridge Cricket Club Ground but you call the ground "County Ground".
- Cricket Archive calls it the County Ground, as does The Cricketer magazine and, most tellingly, Trowbridge Cricket Club themselves. I think this article is right and the article on the ground is titled wrongly -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:58, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Generally this looks good, though. Relentlessly (talk) 14:31, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Closing this FLC as passed. Consider nominating the list at WP:TFLS, and remember that the best way to make sure that nominations get through the process faster is to review other nominations. --Pres N 16:28, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
