This list is based upon featured lists of the similar catergory. I feel this is according to the FL criteria. As always, I'll respond to comments/suggestions, from anyone! Cheers, Zia Khan 23:33, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • "He played 79 Test and 245 ODI matches for Pakistan scoring 6,565 and 6,824 runs respectively." Needs a comma after Pakistan.
  • Add "a" to "Khan scored century on his Test debut...".
  • "Pakistan never lost any of the games whenever he scored a century." "whenever" → "in which"?
  • The S/R for Test number 19 isn't sorting correctly.
  • The ODI table has the Balls column sorting improperly, in addition to its S/R column.
  • Note 1: Opening needs changing to "The previous Pakistan players to score a century on their debut were...". Giants2008 (Talk) 21:27, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Fixed all! Thanks for the comments. Zia Khan 23:27, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • and "the: , I wouldn't quote "the" because it is a basic term
  • "Khan scored a" don't link "a" in there, due to the fact that it is, again, a basic English term
  • "he is fourth in the list of Test century-makers" I think "the list" part is redundant, and that little "the list" part should be removed. Rest of the sentence is fine.
    • I think, the sentence flows better in this way. Zia Khan 04:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "List of Test centuries" fails WP:DTT a little bit right now, as it states a table caption shouldn't act as the reader knows the meaning from the title; in this case, "List of Test centuries" should be changed to "List of Test centuries performed by Younus Khan"
    • Although it's not necessary because the article is about Younus Khan's centuries, but I did according to your suggestion. Zia Khan 04:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Same goes for other table captions used, other than the caption for the key table, which seems fine

  • No need to link "cricket" in the lead image caption.
    • Done.
  • " in Test and One Day International (ODI) matches on twenty and six occasions respectively during his international career" Test and ODI imply international so I don't think you need "his international career".
    • Removed.
  • "He played 79 Test..." has he retired then? If so, this should be noted, if not, this tense needs to be changed.
    • Done.
  • Where does his 20 Test centuries place him in the worldwide list?
    • Added.
  • "s of October 2012, he is fourth in the list of Test century..." what about the list of Pakistan ODIs?
    • Added.
  • "centuries performed by" seems a little odd to say "performed", maybe "scored by"?
    • Done.
  • In the key, complete sentences should have a full stop.
    • Done.
  • " made a triple-century there in 2002." do you mean 2009?
    • Corrected.
  • You link ESPNcricinfo in ref 1 and ref 8 but not for the others. Seems odd.
    • Unlinked ref 8. Zia Khan 00:17, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • If he is commonly known by the name "Younis Khan", then why the article is named "Younus Khan". It should be "Younis" per WP:COMMONNAME.
  • Younus Khan has scored 26 centuries for Pakistan in international cricket. It's widely understood that whenever he played for Pakistan, it's an international game.
  • In the ODI table, 101 (109) is better than 101 (119).
  • He has retired from T20s, isn't it?
    • Yes, that's why it is "Khan played 25 Twenty20 International (T20I) matches between 2006 and 2010". Zia Khan 06:59, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments now that I have an Ipad I can contribute a bit more, so am now able to comment on this list.

  • noneed for overall in the bit about all time test scores
    • Done.
  • using words like "having" as its an example of NOUN+ ing would change the start of the first sentence in the third para as a result
    • Done.
  • the bit about Pakistan never losing an ODI when Khan scored a century needs a ref
    • Couldn't find a ref for that but I think this is not necessary because every century is referenced in the table.

Thanks for the comments! I'm a little bit busy too, with my favourite subject. Zia Khan 02:08, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
