David Warner (28) is second only to Virat Kohli (33) in terms of centuries scored over the last five years in international cricket. I've modeled this based on similar lists. Look forward to comments and suggestions. —Vensatry (talk) 19:12, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

:@Vensatry: My comments are below:
  • alt text comes before the caption
  • Lead:
    • carried the bat in the fourth innings of the match... link to innings
    • As of January 2017 change to {{As of}}
    • against India, New Zealand and South Africa link teams
    • 163 against Sri Lanka link team
    • As of December 2016 update to January and change to {{As of}}
    • he has played 63 T20Is remove as this is mentioned in the first paragraph
    • his highest score remains 90 not out unlink not out
  • Key:
    • Add in as the third row: Balls = Deliveries faced
      • Not done, sine I've not used the 'balls' column —Vensatry (talk) 15:01, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Link directly to Innings
    • Move strike rate to after Test
      • I've listed down the items based on the order in which they appear in the tables (1 followed by 2). —Vensatry (talk) 15:01, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Fix link to Result (cricket)#Draw
  • Test table:
    • Missing the balls column (should be the third column)
      • We don't use this column for these lists. —Vensatry (talk) 15:01, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Missing the strike column (should be the eighth column)
  • ODI table:
    • Missing the balls column (should be the third column)
      • This is redundant as we have a column for strike rate. —Vensatry (talk) 15:01, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • "H/A" should be "H/A/N"

@Vensatry: Looking at the recent promoted FLs you seemed to be correct with regards to format. What I was looking at was the Younis Khan's list and that includes the balls in both as well as the strike rate in the Test table. This is also the format for Chris Gayle's, Mohammad Yousuf's, Nathan Astle's and Aravinda de Silva's list but it seems that these are the exception rather than the rule. Nonetheless, I would argue that having the number of balls faced is a vital piece of information that certainty worthy of inclusion. After all, the following articles include it:
So, we seem to be inconsistent across our lists. I would also argue that for someone like Warner, arguably the most aggressive man ever to play Test cricket, we get no sense of how aggressive he is in the Test arena with absence of the balls faced and the strike rate. Thoughts? – Ianblair23 (talk) 09:13, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Ianblair23: True, I'm guessing that it was Sahara4u who started this 'trend'. The format used in this list has been adopted from the earliest ones. Agree with your penultimate point, but I don't think we can really set a precedent. Gilly's and Sehwag's lists don't have the balls column. Looping in: @The Rambling Man, Harrias, and ChrisTheDude: —Vensatry (talk) 17:30, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd add in the balls faced and/or the strike rate... The Rambling Man (talk) 09:28, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    @The Rambling Man: Added strike rate —Vensatry (talk) 09:56, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ianblair23: Are you willing to revisit the candidate? —Vensatry (talk) 07:00, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    @Vensatry:, Ok thanks for adding in the strike rate. I did bit of copyediting (diff) cleaning up a few things. The only thing left is could you please directly link to innings in the key and make the no. column sortable. One other thing to note is that Warner has scored three centuries since this nomination was open on New Years Eve. With Warner only just turning 30 he still has many years left him and no doubt the centuries will continue to flow. So list will need to be continually updated until he retires. – Ianblair23 (talk) 01:14, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ianblair23: Fixed both. I'll make sure the list gets updated. —Vensatry (talk) 14:14, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Harrias talk
  • Typically in these lists, we specifically define a century (see the Tendulkar list for example).
  • Support – Otherwise, this looks a great list, so I have no issue with supporting the promotion of this list, nice work. Harrias talk 09:27, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Done, thanks. —Vensatry (talk) 17:48, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Tend to avoid "currently", prefer to use "as of", e.g. for the "current vice-captain" claim.
  • "In the next game at the WACA Ground, Perth, he scored 253 runs," avoid "runs" here as it could be interpreted that it was a total of 253 across two innings.
  • "year.[e]. " spare full stop.
  • Sorting by reverse date, 13 and 14 are out of order (that's the pair of centuries he got in the same match), so you need to do some hidden forced sorting there.

That's it, not much to address at all. Good stuff. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:22, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Fixed all, thanks for the comments —Vensatry (talk) 15:35, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
