List of international goals scored by Emmanuel Adebayor[edit]

Featured list candidates/List of international goals scored by Emmanuel Adebayor/archive1

Nominator(s): Idiosincrático (talk) 04:43, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Emmanuel Adebayor is a Togolese former footballer who played for the Togo national team for almost two decades, he also played for European giants such as Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid. With the national team he scored 32 goals in 87 caps (excluding a non-FIFA rec cap, according to the RSSSF), cementing himself as arguably the greatest football export from Togo.

I created this list a few months ago and I now believe it is FL standard. This is the 7th list of international goals I've nominated for featured status and I think these are almost always a speedy review due to their simplicity. Thanks in advance.

Comments

"87 FIFA recognised" => "87 FIFA-recognised" (also in the image caption)
"He made his international debut against Zambia on 8 July 2000 in a FIFA World Cup qualification match, he scored" - comma before "he scored" should be a semi-colon
"qualification win against Swaziland (Eswatini since 2018) on 11 October 2008, he scored four goals in the match" - so should that one
"Adebayor helped Togo qualify for their first and only FIFA World Cup" - I would change that to simply "their first FIFA World Cup", as it might not be their only one forever
"With the remainder of his goals, five, have come in friendlies." => "The remainder of his goals, five, have come in friendlies."
"Adebayor scored in his final game for Togo against Benin in March 2019, he later" - comma should be a semi-colon
"helped glorify Togolese football" - I really don't think that "glorify" is the right word here. I would suggest "helped raise the profile of Togolese football"
"Does not include the match against Burkina Faso on 14 August 2012, it was not considered a full A-international match by FIFA, but it is for the Togolese Football Federation." => "Does not include the match against Burkina Faso on 14 August 2012. The match is not considered a full A-international match by FIFA, but is by the Togolese Football Federation."

MyCatIsAChonk/Source review

I see no issues with the content and prose, so great job! I'll do a source review while I'm at it- no spotcheck needed, looking at formatting/reliability. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 11:51, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is AfroSport Now reliable?
All the links to National Football Teams are showing up dead for me. If that's the case for you too, add "dead" to the url-status= parameter

Idiosincrático, I got nothing else, very nice work MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 11:51, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't 100% sure on the AfroSport Now citation as it seems to be a relatively new outlet, I've changed the phrasing a bit and replaced it with a few other sources including Sports Illustrated, Goal and Vanguard Nigeria, which is seemingly rather reputable. As for the National football teams sources, each of the links are working for me and the website is working very well, its a site used commonly on these types of articles. Perhaps the site is geoblocked for where you live, or maybe an ad-blocker? Cheers @MyCatIsAChonk. Idiosincrático (talk) 05:46, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
