Prose

• Both counties mentioned are wikilinked in § Life but not in the infobox.
  • Linked. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 10:00, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
• I am sure you have searched extensively, but are there any RS sources on who his mother was?
  • Sadly not. Based on Ancestry, I can tell you she was Mary, but even with that information, I haven't been able to find a RS to support it. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 16:16, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
    • I see. Thanks for trying! ツLunaEatsTuna (💬)— 16:39, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
• I would wikilink Brighton as a good chunk of non-English readers are likely to not recognise it.
  • Linked. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 10:00, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
• The sentence starting "He played second-class cricket" is on the longer side. I think "and during the 1895 season" could be split into its own sentence.
  • Split and trimmed. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 10:00, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Looks good.
• Add a citation to the efn note.
  • Any update?
    • @LunaEatsTuna: Sorry, I did independently remember that I'd missed this! Added now. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 17:04, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
      • It happens! I happened to be online when you pinged me :)
• "By the end of the 1897 season Cricket" – I believe this needs a comma?
  • Added. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 10:00, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Refs

Passes spotcheck—no concerns with refs 2, 6, 7, 10 or 15. I have access to BNA. Formatting:

• The title of ref 9 is missing a space.
  • Added. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 10:00, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Other

Short desc, section formatting, external link and cats good.

• Recommend adding WP:ALT text to the image with the alt = parameter.
  • Added. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 10:00, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Nice work!

• Hi Onegreatjoke (talk), review follows; article promoted to GA on 16 February; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing in a spot check on source and Earwig is clear; hook fact is interesting and mentioned in the article, AGF on offline sourcing (though other sources I checked confirm the fact); a QPQ has been carried out.
