  • ... that Didier Drogba (pictured) is the Ivory Coast's all-time top scorer? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)
    • ALT1:... that Didier Drogba (pictured) scored twice for the Ivory Coast in a match which was abandoned after fans rioted, throwing food and drinks onto the pitch? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

  • New, in time, long enough, sourced, inline hook citation checks out for ALT1, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done. The Rambling Man, for ALT0 to work, you need to say that he is still the top scorer in the article (and have a supporting citation); right now it just says is that that was the case three years ago. If you want to do that, ping me and I'll unstrike it, but for now ALT1 is approved. Also, I might clarify what a "brace" is. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:51, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Heh, that's funny, I'd need a source which changed with every match to say he was still top scorer. But I get your point. I prefer Alt 1 anyway. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:19, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
  • The Rambling Man, I get your point, and I thought of that too. But three years just feels too far out of date, especially without knowing how far behind the next active player was. This would do the trick. Man, it's not even close! --Usernameunique (talk) 05:25, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
  • No, I'm not clear on the reliability of 11v11 so have worked to avoid it. Last time I looked, it contained errors in any case. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:29, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
