Hey all,
Some of the WikiProject Cricket editors have spotted that Cricinfo, the largest cricket-related website and part of main cricket publisher the Wisden group, has started using (and crediting) Wikipedia as a source on its articles and player profiles:
* Thompson, J, 'When Test cricket came to India', 29th April 2006 http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/columns/content/story/245528.htm
* Williamson, M., 'A familiar tale of riots & betting', 15th April 2006 http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/columns/content/story/244384.html (sourced from our featured article [[Sydney Riot of 1879]])
* Player profile of Edmund Barton (first Prime Minister of Australia) http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/columns/content/player/4432.html (credited and GFDL-marked copy of [[Edmund Barton]])
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.
Cheers,
N.
