List of international cricket centuries by Chris Gayle[edit]

Nominator(s): —Zia Khan 01:53, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This list was previously at the FLC but didn't get sufficiently reviewed. I'm nominating the list because I believe this is according to the FLC criteria. Comments/ suggestions appreciated! Regards, —Zia Khan 01:53, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:

No dead links. Files check out in terms of copyright.
All tables sort correctly, as far as I can tell.
My only comment is that the Template:Dagger and Template:Double-dagger used throughout the list should have alt text, as explained at the respective pages. Otherwise, it looks like it meets featured standards. Excellent tenacity on the part of User:Sahara4u. Seattle (talk) 18:41, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Seattle: I don't think this is necessary as the pages say "either the symbol or the alternative text is displayed according to the browser". In this case dagger and double-dagger are explained in the Key section! Other featured lists of the same kind (Gavaskar's, Lillee's, Steve Waugh's etc) don't have alt text for these kind of symbols, too. —Zia Khan 20:24, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I interpret the term "either" to mean one or the other. Meaning, the dagger will display on some browsers, or, the alternate text will display on other browsers. On the some browsers that won't display the dagger, if the alternate text isn't there, they won't be able to tell what the dagger represents because it won't be visible. No one will be able to tell who the dagger represents without the alternate text. Seattle (talk) 21:33, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done, alt text provided! —Zia Khan 21:57, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Cowlibob (talk) 10:59, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment Overall a good list. Leaning to supporting. A few suggestions for improvement.

I think it reads better if you keep scores as numbers and the other numerical stuff as words. Examples:

He has scored Test centuries at 12 different cricket grounds, including 8 --> twelve different cricket grounds, including eight

Gayle has scored ODI centuries at 16 different cricket grounds, including 17 at 13 --> sixteen, seventeen and thirteen

The above sentence could also potentially be split into two to make it clearer. I thought it was a bit confusing to read as one sentence.

one of 11 players --> eleven

first player to score a century in T20I --> score a century in a T20I
