798:, where does this stand now? I don't see a single edit to the article from Perry Middlemiss since September 22, and it's November 1. I realize that this nomination dates back to April, and deserves some special consideration, but six weeks without progress is significant. Perhaps the nomination could be formally put on hold with a deadline set (one week? two?) by which meaningful progress needs to be seen? I hope this stalled nomination can get moving again soon. Thank you.

matches even with the Test players available" shows that a number are skipped over. The section details those incidents in his early career which are significant and I think this is important as it describes the ups and downs of a young sportsman finding his way. I think it's of reasonable length and detail.
606:"Benaud was awarded life membership by the New South Wales Cricket Association, but he returned it in protest in 1970 when his younger brother John was removed from the captaincy." I am not seeing a source on this one, which could be classified as "contentious" and should have some sort of attributable source.
848:
I have made some minor changes to the article but I can now see that I'll have to obtain a copy of the main reference book (ie Benaud's autobiography) to complete the work. And given I'm under time-constraints elsewhere I can't see that happening in the immediate future. Therefore I suggest we drop
629:
This gets into a LOT of detail on his matches, not being an expert on Benaud I feel like the sections "Early Years", "Early Test Years", "Consolidation", "Peak Year and captaincy" and "late career" basically recaps every single game he played in. I get lost in the
Cricket lingo and gets a bit TL:DR

I see a couple of quick things right off the bat. All my notes will be below the GA box that will serve as the summary. I will not outright fail any section if I feel like it is something that can be addressed and I am sure everything can be corrected. Word to the wise,I know NOTHING about
Cricket,
641:
I've made a few changes to the "Early Years" section which will hopefully made it more readable, and, in one case, more accurate. I can't say as I agree with the thought that all games are described. The sentence "Benaud was cementing his position and was in the senior team for four consecutive
666:
I am not thrilled with his books being sourced by "googling Richie Benaud Book", that list returns any and all results where Benaud was mentioned or wrote them. the "Book" results at the top of the page did not include all the books listed either. I think something more specific is
738:- So this is getting better, but there is no changes on the image front as far as I can tell, that's a problem for GA and I am not sure how to solve that? Everything else can be addressed with simple copyediting, but the images needs something beyond on that to resolve the issues.
166:
Wow April 15? I almost feel like I should apologise for that somehow. Anyway I am starting the review now and will be going through the article over the next couple of days and putting my comments in so you can address anything I end up findin.
709:
I see some activity going on here and there, considering how long this has sat I am going to give it a bit more time before I go through it and check off anything that has been addressed and see where we go from there.
593:"His instinctive, aggressive captaincy and daring approach to cricket – and his charismatic nature and public relations ability", it is either unsourced or attributed to Benaud's own book (ref 54)?
531:
The info box image has some copyright issue tags that needs to be addressed. Picture is from 1956, the public domain I do on the page refers to "before 1955" so I am not sure this is public domain?
636:
The sentence "In
November 2014, at age 84, Benaud announced that skin cancer had been diagnosed" does not sound right, perhaps "that he had been diagnosed with skin cancer" instead?
769:
It still needs a fair amount of work and I'll look into the image questions. Might need to see if there is anyone in the
Knowledge Australia cricket community who can help out.
596:"His aggressive tactical style brought large crowds throughout the season", there is a source for the attendance of one game, not the season and not attributing this to Benaud.

I think that's it, grammatically it is fine but i get lose in the avalanche of details at times, which is a shame because it's an interesting subject.
813:
My fault entirely as I got distracted by other things. I'll aim to put some work into it over the coming week and we can re-evaluate it after that.
863:
I've closed the GA nomination per your request. You're more than welcome to nominate the article again once you've completed the work. Thanks.

612:"He also walked off the commentary booth" made it sound like he walked away in protest, but he did it to give Smith the microphone right?
518:

There are some terms that kinda stick out as not neutral and no attributable source for the phrase, consider revising some of these.
