Excellent candidate. The nominator has turned this into a fine article, highly suitable for a front page mention, and the suggested hook is splendid. Tim riley talk 19:56, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:14, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, and wonder if there's a reason you're not calling him "Sir William Sterndale Bennett", as in the article? Yoninah (talk) 23:01, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

@Yoninah:Two reasons: 1) He wasn't a 'Sir' when he introduced cricket to Germany (in fact, not until very much later). 2) As mentioned in note i to the article, he called himself 'Sterndale' as a given name, rather than William. Best - and thanks - Smerus (talk) 07:33 22 February 2016

OK, thanks. Restoring tick per Montanabw's review. Yoninah (talk) 10:54, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
