Squads section debate edit
First of all the current way is an absolute mess with flags and lists of stats in senescence's which can easily be displayed bullet pointed as I have done - stat unchanged, just displayed better. The stats "Longest serving coach" is not plural so why have multiple coaches, only needs to be Gatland. All the information listed to Gatland is on his page, don't need it all on this page - if he has been in charge since 2007, then it's obvious he was there in 2011 & 2015! Ditto for Steve Jackson, details around his appointment should be on his page - this is for only the stat hence the STATISTICS in the title.
The Barrett stat is already listed within the Rugby World Cup pages, noted on the specific game it happened, doesn't need to be on the full stat page otherwise we may aswell list every single note that happened in each game - which would be a bad idea.

You are entirely correct to have an opinion on the graphical representation with flags but it remains that. I doubt if the majority on this page will agree with you on the lack of aesthetics with those flag templates. It is far from a mess that you talked about and certainly not an absolute mess. You mentioned about a stat not plural and I can't sincerely fathom what you are all about since this is an article and only one liners can't say it all. The others being mentioned were edited out at your whim instead of finding a way to incorporate them in a newer version. You omitted the stat on Barrett brothers claiming they have been mentioned somewhere else on wiki ... so what? You believe it can't be listed in a general stat page too? If I add the stat on fastest hat-trick by Cobus Reinach now, you will complain because it is also listed elsewhere? You removed references that shows November 2007 as Gatland's appointment which is necessary because a rugby world cup was also held in 2007 and to provide context. You used "from" instead "of" to address coaches, and want to reduce instead of increase the materials on the squad stats as it relates to other long serving coaches given an honorable mention. In all, I see your edit to be done in bad taste. It will be better for you to leave it as is or wait for a consensus. I have no more further comments. Thanks.
