List of international goals scored by Alexis Sánchez edit

Featured list candidates/List of international goals scored by Alexis Sánchez/archive1

Nominator(s): The Rambling Man (talk) 16:37, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Probably the last of these for a while as I think we've hit our limit. Sanchez used to be decent, then he moved to Manchester United and it was all over bar the shouting. This could be his final tally... The Rambling Man (talk) 16:37, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comment~~: Great job here! I have a couple of questions I'd like some clarification on. In the sentence that says "... Chile failed to qualify for the finals", wouldn't it be better if we rephrase to "... Chile failed to qualify to the 2018 FIFA World Cup"? That was linked in the DYK hook but apparently not in the body paragraphs. In addition, for the phrase "... two in FIFA World Cup finals", wouldn't it be better to put "... two in FIFA World Cup games" instead? One of them happened in the group stage (against Australia) and the other in Round of 16 (against Brazil). "Finals" from my understanding are the last stages of the tournament (or in other words, in the knockout stage). Could be wrong. MX (✉ • ✎) 02:14, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hey MX, thanks for your comment. My usual take on "finals" is the tournament post-qualification, i.e. it includes the group stages and then the knockout rounds to the final. It doesn't include the years of qualification games. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:20, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Got it. That's all I have. I think the article is ready for promotion. Please check the changes I made to the article. Feel free to revert any of them you don't think are necessary. Nice job again! MX (✉ • ✎) 18:27, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - the only thing I have is this minor grammar issue: "Despite scoring seven goals [....], Chile failed to qualify for the finals" - should probably be "Despite Sanchez scoring seven goals"..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:53, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed that, cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:36, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support - muy bien, El Hombre Divagante ;-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:25, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Good as always. Great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 00:41, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Source review – All of the references used look sufficiently reliable and well-formatted, and the link-checker tool reveals no problems. Spot-checks of refs 6, 27, and 32 revealed one small issue: ~~ref 27 lists the date as June 14 (at least for me in the U.S.), while the article lists June 15. It's possible the date shows up differently for you in Europe, but please do double-check it.~~ Giants2008 (Talk) 22:19, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers for the review. Both source and ref say 15 June at this point... The Rambling Man (talk) 17:13, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Must be a U.S./U.K. difference then. I had a feeling that was the case, but thought it was worth confirming. As that was the only item I found worth commenting on, the source review has been passed. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:03, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
