Talk:Sam Loxton

Politican

As a student of Victorian politics and as a bit of a cricket tragic, it amazingly never occured to me that this was the same Sam Loxton, but there you go! I added a couple of lines on his political career but the article needs a rewrite and expansion. There must be plenty of stuff about his cricketing career at least as he was a member of the Australian 1948 tour of England. Teiresias84 02:06, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

1. Well written?:

Prose quality:

• Loxton scored 80 and took three wickets on debut. Having no knowledge of cricket, a link for wicket would be useful.

• Done. Aaroncrick (talk) Review me! 03:50, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

• before going off to hospital with concussion, is missing, the.

• Done, but is it really necessary? Aaroncrick (talk) Review me! 03:50, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

No original research:

3. Broad in coverage?:

4. Reflects a neutral point of view?:

Fair representation without bias:

5. Reasonably stable?

No edit wars, etc. (Vandalism does not count against GA):

6. Illustrated by images, when possible and appropriate?:

Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

• Images need WP:ALT text.

• Do they have to for GA? Aaroncrick (talk) Review me! 03:50, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

• I'm almost 100% sure they do, but as I've done in the past, I'm not going to hold this article up because of it. Thus, I'm going to pass the article although I still encourage the addition of the alt text.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 03:53, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Overall:

Pass or Fail:

Finished reading through it earlier today, and this is all I got. I'll put it on hold on to allow for these minor changes to be made.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 23:48, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Sam Loxton

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 Sam Loxton'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 "haigh":

• From Ron Saggers with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948: Haigh, Gideon (2007-05-26). "Gentrifying the game". Cricinfo. Retrieved 2007-06-01.
• From Sam Loxton with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948: Haigh, Gideon (2007-05-26). "Gentrifying the game". Cricinfo. Retrieved 2007-06-01.

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⚡ 07:11, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
