Hot on the heals of Healy's list, I present the other Ireland top international scorer list. As always, your time and energy in contributing to the process is much appreciated. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:43, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comments: Me again! I am almost tempted to tell you: just transpose most of what you have on Healy's page to this one and you're fine. But, I'll follow common featured candidacy protocol instead and give you my (non-copyediting-related) comments:
The lead image does not have alt text.To be consistent with the table layout in Healy's list, I'd center-align the content in the "Cap", "Score", and "Result" columns.Add to the "Statistics" section hatnote an explanation of what the "Score" column indicates.Move the statistics source citation tag to the end of the caption of each table.Now that I look at it: why not adding also the also appearances to the by-competition table? If you do, don't forget to update the caption accordingly.If possible, wikilink (at least) the first instances of thenewspaper
/website
and/orpublisher
parameters in citations, as they appear on the reference list.- Colonies Chris will just unlink them in due course though... The Rambling Man (talk) 20:51, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ref. 7 has some problems. Also, can you format ref. 8 with a citation template?
I think it's better to let other reviewers post their comments before attempting some copyediting on the lead. That's it for now. Parutakupiu (talk) 20:48, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Parutakupiu Ok, addressed or responded to your comments above, thanks for taking the time again to look at this. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- The Rambling Man, I've also performed a quick copyediting of the lead and tweaked the format of a few references. Please, check if the changes are OK for you. Nonetheless, I'm happy to support this candidate. Parutakupiu (talk) 14:16, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:
- From an image review perspective both images are properly licenced though the lede image still has no alt text.
- Alt text added. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Citations look fine with Checlinks though several BBC links are redirects but they do preserve the link, so are only a very minor issue that could be easily fixed. I fixed citation 7 that had errors.
- Thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Personally I would prefer to see many fewer wikilinks in the tables, per WP:OVERLINK even though repeated links are permitted they really don't help the reader understand the topic; 22 Lansdowne Road and 44 Dublin links is just too much. Even just linking the first instance where there are multiple instance would be so much better IMHO.
- I understand the concern. I am just trying to be consistent, not just internally, but across similar articles. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's about all I can offer you but I like it. ww2censor (talk) 12:18, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for your comments! The Rambling Man (talk) 11:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
- "in which he scored a hat-trick against the Faroes for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification." for the doesn't read right to me, perhaps during?
- ref 9 is not formatted properly, no accessdate. Also can it be considered a reliable source?
- I don't know, it was there before I edited the list and uses a template {{NFT player}}, it isn't needed so I've removed it. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:52, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good otherwise. NapHit (talk) 09:33, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Cheers for the comments, both addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:52, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Happy to Support now. Great work. NapHit (talk) 23:02, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support on prose and style. Just two quibbles about referencing:
- (Pedantic!), but Ref 2, 9 and 11 are BBC News articles, its Sport page didn't launch until 2000.
- Publish date for Ref 33? Lemonade51 (talk) 04:10, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- The BBC refs do work and are online dates as stated and are listed under news not a specific sports section. However, sometimes the first click does not load the pages, but when you hit the reload button, the url works. I have dated ref 33. ww2censor (talk) 11:03, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Cheers both. The BBC website isn't behaving particularly well for me this morning. 2, 9 and 11 now published by BBC News. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:08, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Closing note: This candidate has been promoted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FLC/ar, and leave the {{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. --PresN 03:24, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
