Another cricket centuries list. This is based on all of those that have gone before, with hopefully a combination of the best of each. The Chanderpaul article is a little on the short side at the moment (just over 2,000 words of prose), but I am in the process of expanding it, so I don't think there should be an issue with this seeming like an unnecessary content fork. I currently have another FLC open, Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/2009 Women's Cricket World Cup squads/archive1, but the issues there have been resolved, and it has the support of three users, so I hope the community accepts this nomination. This is a joint nomination, as we both (coincidentally) starting working on this at the same time. Harrias talk 16:12, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Quick comment – The publisher of reference 4 (The Independent) should be italicized since it is a print publication. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:18, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "but he was not required to bat as the West Indies beat India" - this is a little confusing. Please explain that his batting did not came since WI already achieved the target.
  • Link not out.
  • "but he proved his critics wrong" - Such things need to be quoted, unless it will be considered as OR.
    • I disagree; it's a factual statement. He was criticised for not converting half-centuries into centuries, and in that series he scored three centuries. Harrias talk 07:37, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Despite being well known for his patient batting" is a little violating with NPOV. This seems to be criticizing him for scoring a fast century.
    • Again, I disagree. I guess it might soften it slightly if "despite" was changed to "although", but the words are synonymous. Harrias talk 07:37, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Link strike-rate.
  • "has scored more centuries against India than any other team" - how many?
  • "Chanderpaul has not been selected to play Twenty20 International cricket since 2010" - needs to be sourced.
    • It is, at the end of the sentence, to his profile page at ESPNcricinfo. Harrias talk 07:37, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Which innings of the match he scored his century." - "The innings of the match."
    • Tweaked, but not to exactly what you have suggested. Harrias talk 07:37, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Link North Sound.
  • "a strike-rate of quicker than a-run-a-ball in ODI cricket" ---> "a strike-rate slower than a-run-a-ball in ODI cricket"

Quick Comments-

I know very little about cricket, so if any of my comments are blatantly moronic, please bear with me…

  • H/A/N
In the key “opposition’s home” might read better as “opponent’s home,” and is “neutral” a standard term for a third-party host?
In Tests, #21,22, and 23, H/A/N is “Drawn.” This seems to be an error.
  • There don’t seem to be any ties, is this correct?
    • Yes, ties are very rare in cricket. Harrias talk 13:38, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Possible terms to link in the lead (first appearance): crease, man of the series.
    • I've linked man of the series, but crease is within a quote, and the MOS suggests not to link terms in quotes. Harrias talk 13:38, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The prose seems straight-forward and easy to read. -Godot13 (talk) 10:02, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments—
  • "...but he proved his critics wrong during the 2001–02 series against India when he scored three centuries during the five-match series, earning him the man of the series accolade. During that series,..."
  • Too many "series" in one line.
  • I think "during the five-match series" is redundant.
  • "...he batted for 1,513 minutes between dismissals,..." → You mean he batted for 1,513 min in an innings? Or in both the innings?
    • Between dismissals cannot happen in a single innings —Vensatry (Ping me) 08:09, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • So, what do you mean by "he batted for 1,513 minutes between dismissals" here? Zia Khan 00:33, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        • He spent 1,513 mins at the crease between two occasions he got out. —Vensatry (Ping me) 12:56, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • well known → well-known, I guess.
    • I guess you're right —Vensatry (Ping me) 08:09, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, the original non-hyphenated version was right. Harrias talk 08:49, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        • Harrias, from the online research I've made it appears that compound modifiers should be hyphenated if they come before noun. English isn't my first language, so correct me if am wrong. —Vensatry (Ping me) 17:16, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "...more centuries against India, (seven centuries,) than any other team." → Not sure that comma should be inside the brackets? Or at least no need of centuries after seven??
  • You may replace the first "required" in the first sentence of the second-last para.
  • "century innings" → may be century-innings
  • In the Key, incomplete sentences shouldn't end in full-stop.
  • Still not done (Pos. and S/R). Zia Khan
  • Suitable alt text for the ground's image
    • Since this isn't an article about the ground, "Alt text" should name the subject rather than describing its appearance. —Vensatry (Ping me) 08:09, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the Tests table the centuries for the same scores, earlier he scored should come earlier while sorting in ascendent order (i.e #16 and #5)??
  • Link ESPNcricifo at first usage like BBC Sports and The Observer.

  • Support: meets the standards. Zia Khan 11:51, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
