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

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 good now -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:15, 3 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]
