Zlatan just made it to the bronze star, so this list, what I went and did all on my own, follows in the Swede's large footsteps... The Rambling Man (talk) 21:10, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments from BeatlesLedTV
  • Link association footballer to association football
  • Gotta have that alt text
  • Link Hat-trick in lead
  • Is Drogba still the country's all time top scorer as of this year?
  • "twenty-four" → 24 (if you spell out two worded numbers you'll want to do it everywhere or vice versa for consistency)
  • Again, either "nineteen" → "19" or "19" → "nineteen" (as well as the instance of 18)

Everything else looks good to me. Once again, great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 23:09, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BeatlesLedTV I think I got 'em all, thanks! The Rambling Man (talk) 23:26, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Rambling Man I would also spell out 23 if you spell out 24. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 23:34, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not seeing that. The Rambling Man (talk) 23:36, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"with 23 in 42 matches." BeatlesLedTV (talk) 23:37, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, that's fine in its own sentence, per MOSNUM. The Rambling Man (talk) 23:39, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – Alright I see it. Another great list. Great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 23:41, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, although it might be worth changing "Nineteen of his goals were scored in his home stadium of Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Abidjan" to "Nineteen of his goals were scored in his hometown stadium of Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Abidjan", as the former version could be read as suggesting that it is the home stadium of the team he plays for..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:39, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks, adjusted. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:22, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I've got nothing, other than perhaps explain explicitly or link to something for what a "brace" is. Courcelles (talk) 22:39, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Courcelles I just did away it and used plain English. Thanks for your review and your support. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:51, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Ivorian is linked in the opening sentence, WP:OVERLINK states against linking nationalities.
    I'd buy it if I could guarantee that more than half Wikipedia's readers knew what Ivorian meant, let alone had heard of the Ivory Coast. I think common sense trumps MOS here. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:50, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • 2004 African Cup of Nations qualification is linked in both the first and second paragraph, overlink again.
    Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:50, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • A number of the FIFA references are dead links, such as 32, 33, 34, 35 and 53.
    That's why they all have archive links. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:50, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 53 has a possible typo in Cote d'Ivoire.
    And more importantly, it's dead, so completely replaced. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:50, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 55 appears to take me to the Yahoo homepage.
    Did you click on the archived link? Works fine for me. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:50, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just a few minor issues I can see. Kosack (talk) 16:07, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kosack, thanks very much, I've responded inline above to each of your comments. Cheers, The Rambling Man (talk) 19:50, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@The Rambling Man: Even the archive links for the FIFA references don't work for me but perhaps it's my issue? Do they work for you? The Yahoo one is fine, I misclicked the link on that one. Kosack (talk) 20:03, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well to be honest I only tried the first one. Stand by. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:06, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The refs are slow but functional for me. Courcelles (talk) 20:07, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, they're slow but they all work. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:07, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Must be an issue my end then. AGF on the links from nominator and uninvolved editor. Kosack (talk) 20:15, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - My minor issues addressed. Another fine list. Kosack (talk) 20:15, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

PresN, good to go? The Rambling Man (talk) 14:17, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Source review passed; promoting. --PresN 16:14, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
