A WikiProject task force dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Bangladesh cricket. |
Welcome to the Bangladesh cricket task force of WikiProject Cricket.
Scope
[edit]The Bangladesh cricket task force is setting the goals of:
- following the guidelines set down by Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket
- increasing the number of well-written articles relevant to cricket in Bangladesh by expanding all stubs to start-class and improving all start-class articles via C-class and on to B-class at least
- expanding biographies of all Bangladeshi cricketers who have played at the level of first-class, List A or Twenty20 status

Some guidelines
[edit]- Please to be aware at all times of WP:COPYVIO and NEVER copy straight from a source, especially news stories or statistical data. You are expected to use the data found in the source to compose your article and to verify it with an inline citation. Unfortunately, there has been more than one instance of copyright violation in articles about Bangladesh cricket and it cannot be allowed.
- Please to be aware of "defaultsort" parameters in biographies about Bangladeshis who are listed alphabetically by first name and not the British system of listing by second name. In such cases where you see, for example, {{DEFAULTSORT:Hasan, Raqibul}} that is incorrect as Raqibul will be listed under H and not R in all categories. Please to remove the defaultsort line or correct to {{DEFAULTSORT:Raqibul Hasan}} (better to just be removing it altogether).
To-do
[edit]To-do items for members of the Bangladesh cricket task force
[edit]Members may be wishing to help by seeking to achieve these levels of success:
- identifying articles for creation including redlinked biographies in this list
- identifying articles for improvement
- reviewing the importance and quality of existing articles
- tagging talk page of articles in scope with the
|Bangladesh cricket=true
parameter – for an example, please to see Talk:1999–2000 Bangladeshi cricket season and its project banner {{WikiProject Cricket|class=stub|importance=mid|Bangladesh cricket=true}} (please to note this being complete in all in-scope articles existing to July 2016) - finding editors who have shown interest in this subject and ask them to read this page
Tagging articles in scope
[edit]All articles, lists, categories and templates within scope of the task force should exist somewhere in category hierarchy headed by Cricket in Bangladesh. On 7 July 2016, all that were then holding in this category structure had been tagged with the task force parameter.
Please to be aware too that the talk pages of all articles, lists, categories and templates in scope should be displaying other relevant project banners. Any item about a Bangladesh subject must also have the {{WikiProject Bangladesh}} banner on its talk page. For an example, please to see Talk:Mominul Haque displaying banners for the Bangladesh, Biography, Bangladesh Premier League and Cricket projects, the Cricket project in the task force domain.
Please to note that overseas players who have played in the NCL or the BPL are within our scope but instead of the {{WikiProject Bangladesh}} banner their talk pages instead must be displaying the project of their own country. For an example, see Talk:Saeed Ajmal displaying banners for the Biography, Bangladesh Premier League, Cricket and Pakistan projects, the Cricket project in the task force domain.
Articles for improvement
[edit]None are being specified at this early stage of the project. It is for editors to identify articles being of interest to themselves and to be taking responsibility for them. The priorities should be to:
- be aware of biographies which may be causing ambiguity problems and ensure using disambiguation titles, hatnotes and introductory explanations that it is as clear as reasonably possible of which player the article is being concerned
- expand all stubs so that they can be qualifying for a class=start rating in their assessments.
Reviewing importance and quality
[edit]Importance is being, please to pardon a pun, of less importance than quality. We must be having the ultimate aim of "no stubs". Then we must be aiming to improve all class=start articles to C-class at least. Reviewing should be done by using the WP:CRIC B-class criteria. For an example of how to be using this, see Talk:Bangladeshi cricket team in New Zealand in 2007–08.
While tagging the in scope articles, many were seen to be rating C-class which, in truth being told, are really only stubs so there has been some irresponsible use of assessment facility. The C-class articles listed below are genuine C-class and all others relegating now to class=start or class=stub.
The B-class articles below are all certainly rating class=start at least and all are appearing superficially to be C-class at least but all need once more reviewing again by using the B-class criteria and this is first priority in article rating department today (8 July 2016).
Recognised content
[edit]For a full summary of the articles within the scope of the task force, please to see Category:Bangladesh cricket articles by quality. Ideally, we are needing to achieve a higher level of quality in each article so that we are not seeing a majority of stubs and starts in the summary. The following articles are those in which we are so far making satisfactory progress.
