List of Scotland international footballers[edit]

Yesterday I noticed that the first FLC for this article had seemingly stagnated and that outstanding issues weren't being addressed. I therefore decided to get involved and fix up all the outstanding issues, which I believe I did, only to then find out that the FLC had in fact already dropped into the failed log before I'd started! After obtaining Matthew's blessing, however, I have re-nom'd the article myself, as I believe all the outstanding problems from the first FLC had been addressed. Hope that all makes sense :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:26, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support. All of the problems which i had found in the article that were added to the previous FLC have all been dealt with as Chris has mentioned above. Eddie6705 (talk) 17:48, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- Previous issues from old FLC are resolved to meet WP:WIAFL standards in my eyes.--₮RUCӨ 21:34, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • In the opening sentence, "the first official international match" needs a reference: the match in question has its own article, Scotland v England (1872), so you might well find one there :-)
  • Denis Law being joint-top scorer made me ask "who with": could you work Dalglish's name into that sentence somehow?
  • Key. Not sure the as-of date should be in with the definition of pink(?)/asterisk;
  • and, the positions key looks really awkward, with the centred heading miles to the right of the position names.
  • Should the Mac/Mc names sort together? like we use {{DEFAULTSORT:Mackay, ...}} to get all the Mackay/MacKay/McKays sorted together in category lists.
  • John Wark's caption needs a full stop.

Stuff I raised at the previous FLC has been satisfactorily resolved. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 18:33, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    • All done. All the Macs/Mcs now sort as "Mac", which means that Lou Macari gets sorted in with them as well, but I don't think there's any way round that..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:26, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support All issues resolved, list satisfies criteria. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:16, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 12:08, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unrelated to the article, do you think you should put Jmorrison's username in the nominator line?
    • Done, he has replied to state that, although he doesn't plan to do any more work on the article, he is happy with the renomination
  • UEFA European Championship redirects to UEFA European Football Championship.
    • Changed
  • "maintains a roll of honour for all players"
    • Changed
  • "including the players who were selected but" Add "for" after "selected".
    • Changed
  • Image caption: "Darren Fletcher became Scotland's youngest captain for nearly 120 years when he led the team against Estonia in 2004." I think you mean "in", not "for".
    • No, I mean "for". In British English, to use "in" in that sentence would render it grammatically incorrect.
  • Is this list not redundant?
    • Probably. Until you mentioned it, I wasn't aware that article existed. Its existence doesn't affect whether or not this one meets FL requirements, though, surely....?
  • Many thanks for your comments -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:05, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:23, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment There is over-linking in the references section. Does Scottish Football Association really need to be linked almost 200 times? (If you address this within the next three hours, let me know and I'll promote it). -- Scorpion0422 20:53, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • If someone who had AWB could do it, it would make life much easier. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:55, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
