List of international cricket centuries by Greg Chappell edit

Nominator(s): Harrias ^talk 11:34, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Greg Chappell was without a doubt one of the best players of his generation. His statistics would be even more impressive if he hadn't had a spell out of official international cricket to play in the unsanctioned World Series Cricket. This list was previously nominated in 2013, but I have completely overhauled it since that nomination by the now inactive Vibhijain. I have tried a couple of new things out in this list, that differ from previous similar lists. Rather than clutter up the "score" column with symbols, I have moved them into a separate column entitled "Notes", as they don't necessarily directly relate to the score anyway. I have split the Key into two tables to try and eliminate some white space, but this might be an issue on narrower monitors, let me know, and I can change it back easily if needed. As always, all comments and thoughts are welcome! Harrias ^talk 11:34, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"played less matches " fewer.
"against England." could qualify this with the number of the Test and the Ashes series in question.
"he recorded his" last guy you mentioned was Ian, not Greg.

I've changed this to "Chappell recorded his", which I realise in this case is still slightly ambiguous, however given that I've only referred to Ian Chappell as "Ian", and Greg Chappell is the topic of the article, hopefully it clarifies it enough? Otherwise I'll have to look at reworking it entirely. Harrias ^talk 19:35, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Most of these series have links, most of the articles they link to are rubbish, but it's probably worth a link just to encourage traffic to them.

I've added links where it seems obvious to, but I don't want to make the lead clunky just to fit them in! Harrias ^talk 19:35, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note [a] appears to be unreferenced?

I didn't really think about it, as it is covered by the same reference as the fact, but I've clarified this. Harrias ^talk 19:35, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Minor issue, the key seems to be out of order with regard to the table. It's not a major issue but normally it works that the key goes from top to bottom as the table headers go from left to right...

That's all I can see in a first review. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:15, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review. I've fixed them all as suggested, though I've made notes on a couple. Harrias ^talk 19:35, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The key thing? The Rambling Man (talk) 20:08, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've reordered it slightly, so if you go down the left table, then down the right, it should be in order? If it's causing more problems than it's solving, I'm happy to merge it back into one long table. Harrias ^talk 20:28, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm good with the fixes, just one thing, the "by over 150 other " shouldn't that be "by more than 150 other"? The Rambling Man (talk) 20:35, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You're quite right, fixed. Harrias ^talk 20:37, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support meets the criteria as far as I can tell, nice lead image, albeit not of Chappell but we have to go with what we have. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:41, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

Is there any reason The Gabba is piped to the Brisbane Cricket Ground? Seeing as it's commonly referred to as The Gabba and that is the article name it seems strange to pipe it

That is the only issue I can see, so I'm going to Support. Great work. NapHit (talk) 17:49, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

In the key, I believe the brackets around "1/3" in the sentence "(for example, (1/3) denotes the first Test in a three match series)" would more appropriately be quotation marks (i.e. (for example, "1/3" denotes the first Test in a three match series))
Again in the key, it might be worth clarifying under the definition of "date" that it refers to the day on which the match was began (tests), or was played (ODIs).
