I am nominating this for featured list because I have undertaken a great deal of work to improve this list, and make it a more comprehensive description of the cricket grounds used by Sussex. I believe it meets all the FL criteria, and is of a similar than FLs about other counties' grounds (List of Derbyshire County Cricket Club grounds, List of Essex County Cricket Club grounds, List of Gloucestershire County Cricket Club grounds, List of Leicestershire County Cricket Club grounds, List of Somerset County Cricket Club grounds, and List of Warwickshire County Cricket Club grounds).

- The other lists you mention include First Class, List A and T20 matches, but there are no T20 matches on this list. Is there a reason for this? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:10, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Only 2 grounds have hosted T20 matches (County Ground and Arundel). Also, some of the tables in the similar articles look messier because they're too long if you add T20 matches.
- But I can definitely add them if people want. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:25, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @ChrisTheDude: Added them. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:28, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- In the lead you say "Sussex's main ground was Royal Brunswick Ground" but then later refer to it as the Royal Brunswick Ground. Better to be consistent
- "This venue has also has held a single" - think there's a stray extra word in there
- "14 List A matches at Central Recreation Ground, Hastings" - think the word "the" is needed before Central
- "After the ground was demolished in 1996–97,[9] Two List A Sussex matches" - no need for capital on The
- "Eastbourne did not host any Sussex matches in 2001 [...] and have not played another first-class or List A dixture in Eastbourne since" - the subject of the sentence is Eastbourne, so you need to change "have not played", presumably to "Sussex have not played". Also, fixture is spelt wrongly.
- "Between 1908 and 2015, Cricket Field Road Ground" - again, needs "the" before the name of the ground
- Note g: "Excludes two matches where no play was possible, 39 matches played the South team" => played by the South team
- Note j: "Excludes 16 matches where no play was possible" - write sixteen as a word to match the other notes

- @ChrisTheDude: I've made all the changes suggested above. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:43, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Support - looks much better now. Given that the lead underwent a significant transformation, I'd like to know if ChrisTheDude is okay with the current version. —Vensatry (Talk) 08:58, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, I never noticed I was referenced here. Yes, I am fine with the current lead -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:29, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - I might be a nobody to the "professional" editors out here (and my opinion might even be dismissed), but I like the list and I think that it has the potential to be one of the best lists produced in the encyclopedia.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a02:8108:30bf:b168:7511:5200:b7e9:564b (talk • contribs)
- Comments from MPJ-US
Trying to drum up some reviews for my own Featured List Candidate (NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship) and I figured the best way to get it to give.
- General comments
- "mid eighteenth" should be "mid-eighteenth"
- I don't believe you need the comma in "eighteenth century, and had"
- "when the main ground was the Royal Brunswick" should it be "when theRoyal Brunswick Ground in Brunswick, Hove became the main ground"?
- "proposed fixture" is the term "fixture" something specific in Cricket?
- "Fixture" is not something specific to cricket, it is a general sporting term in British English. See the first definition at [2] -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:17, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Table specifics
- It is a shame that the table is too wide for the standard resolution page, but unless the standard is changed completley I am not sure if that can be addressed?
- "The Dipping Pan" should sort by "D" not "T"
- "The Saffrons" should sort by "S" not "T"
Under "Twenty20" there is an issue with the sorting for matches, if I click it twice to have the highest number at the top it sorts "65", "0", "5"?
- Source review
- All look like reliable sources Y
- Formatting looks okay, has accessdates for all, no "date" since the source does not list it so that's all as expected Y
- Not really that many issues, it's a really good list right now, almost a Featured List. MPJ-US 22:51, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- MPJ-DK I've fixed the table sort issues, and I can't fix that it's too wide (lots of tables on Wikipedia are). Changed the general comments, and "fixture" is used a lot in British English sports (to mean match/game), and is the term used in the source. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:20, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Support happy to support this. MPJ-US 09:52, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
