Obviously this is really pleasing for our cricket
coverage; Cricinfo may
be 'only' a website but it's one that every cricket fan with an Internet
connection uses (not to mention one that we ourselves have raided
mercilessly for information as a source!), so this is a nice recognition
of the quality of Wikipedia's articles in this area.
Yes, they're copious and largely good.
A quibble I have is that you find things like Viv Richards introduced as
'West Indian cricketer'. Well, he is; but he is Antiguan by nationality.
He played for the West Indies team; and I suppose if you go back to the time
of the British West Indies then there is some further discussion to be had.
But I think it would be an improvement if the leads went the extra 22 yards
and made it 'Guyanese' and so on. I feel slightly embarrassed about how it
is now.
