Tables need column scopes for all column header cells, which in combination with row scopes lets screen reader software accurately determine and read out the headers for each cell of a data table. Column scopes can be added by adding !scope=col to each header cell, e.g. ! Year becomes !scope=col | Year. This needs to be done for every column header cell and not just the first one.
Tables need row scopes on the "primary" column for each row, which in combination with column scopes lets screen reader software accurately determine and read out the headers for each cell of a data table. Row scopes can be added by adding !scope=row to each primary cell, e.g. | Afghanistan becomes !scope=row | Afghanistan (on its own line).
Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. The above need to be done for every table.
There are 2 "Cite errors" in the notes section.
~~Only a few of the refs have archive links.~~
The lead has 4 somewhat short paragraphs. You should reorder it to have 2 meatier paragraphs instead. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 12:11, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Will add the row scopes, all else done. Vestrian24Bio 16:16, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@MPGuy2824 done now. Vestrian24Bio 12:51, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The key table in the "Associate members" section also needs col scopes for the header. Alternatively, you can replace it (somehow) with the {{Legend}} template.

Support on table accessibility, in advance since I trust that you'll get this done. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:51, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, and I've replaced the key table with the {{Legend}} templates as well. Vestrian24Bio 13:41, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mention that teams can be expelled.
I would merge the two paragraphs in Former Members
I would add a paragraph in front members details what it takes to be removed.
Any more specifics regaurd removals? What specific guidelines were violated?
Associate members with ODI status uses external links instead of a properly formatted citation

@OlifanofmrTennant:

I did try adding a bit more about the membership guidelines a few days ago, but was removed for COPYVIOS, will try adding a summarized version.
Associate members with ODI status sources are dynamic refs, and there formatted as such across cricket articles (e.g: ICC Men's Test Team Rankings, ICC Women's ODI and T20I Team Rankings, ICC Men's Player Rankings etc.).

All else done. Vestrian24Bio 16:16, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@OlifanofmrTennant: all done. Vestrian24Bio 13:30, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A key/legend is needed for List of International Cricket Council members#Associate members with ODI status for the red X and the emdash in the table.
Make sure you use the !scope=row like what MPGuy2824 said but make sure you use it in the correct row, do it in the country row and not the number row because the scope of the row for that table is on the countries.
The very light gray color you used for "Teams" under the first table is almost non-existent to people who are visually imparied and failed the WebAIM contrast checker. The text and color should be removed as it serves virtually no purpose.
Under List of International Cricket Council members#Regional bodies, there is no explanation on what "Full" and "Associate" means and it should have an explanation of what they are.
Issues with MOS:OVERLINK should be dealt with.
Thats it for now. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 22:52, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cowboygilbert:

the red X and the emdash are explained in adjacent notes, is a separate key/legend necessary there?
Linked "Full" and "Associate" in the regional bodies table header.
Could you detail what you mean by MOS:OVERLINK...

All else done. Vestrian24Bio 16:16, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, yes. The way you are doing it now is to explain why the special colors and symbols are there and not what they mean. You don't have to get elaborate in the key/legend but just say like "Teams that does not have an ODI status" and "Teams that are not ranked on ODI rankings".
I meant to link WP:DUPLICATELINK. This is only for the prose, not the tables. For an example: "World Cricket League" is mentioned three times and is linked twice, it should be linked once.

History6042

"competitions organised by ICC." -> "competitions organised by the ICC."
"Twenty20 International" -> "Twenty20 Internationals"
"of which of which 5 have men's ODI status"->"of which 5 have men's ODI status"
Delete the space after "interference in the board."
"Full Members are the governing bodies"->"Full members are the governing bodies"
"Afghanistan women's team played their first match"->"theAfghanistan women's team played their first match"
In the table there should be the new Afghan flag unless this was a decision made by the ICC to recognize the old flag.
Everything in the table is linked to the nation but West Indies is linked to the federation, this should be consistent.
"Associate Members are the governing bodies"->"Associate members are the governing bodies"
"which does not qualify as a Full Member"->"which does not qualify as a full member"
"a series of international one-day cricket"->"a series of international one-day cricket matches"
"went to only the teams qualifier"->"went to only the teams qualified"
"Netherlands ensured"->"The Netherlands ensured"
"and United States"->"and the United States"
"five Associate teams"->"five associate teams"
"in the top four of 2023 Qualifier"->"in the top four of the 2023 Qualifier "
Ping when done please. History6042😊 (Contact me) 11:56, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@History6042:
- ICC still recognizes the old flag, even ACB's official website still uses the old flag.
- West Indies link is generated by the {{Flag}} template, which I don't know why links there but there must be a reason.
All else done. Vestrian24Bio 13:22, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
