The latest list of country number one songs by year. So far this little project of mine has produced 35 FLs and another is close, so here's the potential #37........ -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:26, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- I am uncertain about this sentence: "At the start of the year, the number one single was "Kiss an Angel Good Mornin'" by Charley Pride, its fifth week in the top spot." It reads a little awkwardly to me, and I think it could be made more concise. Maybe something like the following, "At the start of the year, Charley Pride's "Kiss an Angel Good Mornin'" spent its fifth week in the top spot.", would be better?
- I have a question about this part: "totalling 11 weeks in the top spot with "My Hang-Up Is You", "Bless Your Heart" and "Got the All Overs for You (All Over Me)". Is "totalling" intentionally spelled like that? I am not sure if it is a spelling variation on totaling or a typo so I wanted to ask to make sure.
- This sentence, ""My Hang-Up Is You" had the longest unbroken run at number one, spending six weeks at the top of the chart in the spring, twice as long as any other song spent at number one in 1972.", reads rather awkwardly to me, specifically the phrase beginning with "twice...". I understand what you mean, but I am wondering if it could be revised to read a little better. Apologies for the somewhat vague comment, but I am not entirely sure how I would reword myself.
- It may be better to revise this part, "Jerry Wallace achieved the only country chart-topper of his career", to something like the following, "Jerry Wallace achieved his only country chart-topper", to be a little more concise with the prose.
- For this part, "after being featured in an episode of the TV show Night Gallery", I believe it should be "television show" instead of "TV show".
- For this part, "Tillis co-wrote the song with Webb Pierce, whose version went to number 2 on the chart in 1959,", I would spell out "2" as "two" since numbers under ten are spelled out with words rather than numerals in other parts of the lead.
- Since you specify the year in two of the image captions, I would do the same for the ones for Hart and Fargo.
- When I first read through the list, I noticed a few odd spacing issues where there were sometimes double/triple spaces left between sentences. I think that I have corrected all of them, but I would encourage you to check again and see if I missed any other instances.
Awesome work as always. Your productivity and consistently good work is very admirable. I enjoyed reading through the list, and it inspired me to check out some of these artists in the future, specifically Donna Fargo since I have a preference for female singers. Once my comments are addressed, I will be more than happy to support this for promotion. Have a great start to your week! Aoba47 (talk) 03:25, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Aoba47: many thanks for your comments, which have hopefully been addressed to your satisfaction. With regard to "totalling", that's how I would spell it but then I am British and I appreciate that this article should be written in US English. I am not 100% sure what the correct US spelling would be, so I have used alternative wording which hopefully avoids the issue altogether..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:30, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for addressing everything! I support this for promotion. Upon further investigation, the totaling/totalling difference is really just an American/British spelling difference. I guess American English drops the double l for a single l. Either way, have a great rest of your day! Aoba47 (talk) 14:54, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment –
I had to strain to find anything worth complaining about, but is the space before the comma in the title of ref 1 meant to be there? If it's there in the original, it wouldn't be the worst idea to take it out for our purposes.That's the only (tiny) issue I saw.

Comments from Teratix
(pictured in xxxx)
I would avoid including this phrase in the caption unless it's relevant and necessary to mention (e.g. Joe Bloggs (pictured in 1999) suffered severe facial disfigurement in 2000).... Charley Pride and Merle Haggard each achieved three number ones in 1972, spending seven and six weeks respectively ...
1) You have already referred to Pride in full in this paragraph, so there's no need to mention his first name. 2) I would swap the order Haggard and Pride are mentioned, so that "six" and "seven" are in ascending order (and the artists are alphabetised by surname).Tillis did not record the song himself until 1972, when he went one better than Pierce to gain his first number one.
"went one better" is slightly informal phrasing and awkward when near another instance of "one". Replace with "improved on Pierce's version's performance" or similar.Every number one in 1972 was by a solo artist; no bands topped the chart during the year.
Without a source mentioning this, it seems like original research. But I concede it is evident after a glance at the table. Could be a "routine calculation". Not sure here.Artist(s)
As all of the songs are by solo artists, there is no need for the (s).- Ref. -> Ref. (

- Source review by Cowlibob
- The Billboard sources are tripping the external links tool as they should have https:// in front of the www.
- The Rolling Stone link is redirecting to this link "https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country-lists/10-great-songs-you-didnt-know-mel-tillis-wrote-125819/webb-pierce-i-aint-never-1959-126176/"
- I would recommend archiving the source using IABot to preserve for the future. "https://tools.wmflabs.org/iabot/"
- I think Ref 4 should be replaced by ref 13 as it verifies that it was charted as number 1 for 5 weeks.
- The book ref "Encyclopaedia of Country Music" should have a page number
- Spot checks verify information in article

Then in the next page, you type out the name of wikipedia article, you want the bot to edit. The default is to only archive dead links but if you tick the box below where it says "Add archives to all non-dead references", it tries to archive every link it can. Very nifty bot.

I am nominating this for featured list because the history of maps of Jerusalem is one of the most important topics in cartography, this is the best resource for the subject on the internet, the article has collated images of every single one of the most notable maps of the city, it clearly explains the reasons for the notability of each, uses the most respected sources on the subject, and this is the best of wikipedia's lists of maps and so may inspire further effort on an under-represented topic.

- I also agree with ChrisTheDude that sentences or sections should not be put in bold. I believe that this is typically discouraged.

- This is more of a clarification question, but I noticed that some of the "date" columns have a reference while others do not. Is there any particular reason for it? I am not saying it needs to be changed, but I was just curious about your reasoning for it.
Y this was because some of the refs for the exacts dates were different to the refs for the descriptions. I have now added these where they were missing, so it is consistent now. Onceinawhile (talk) 22:26, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I have a question about the current citation format. There are instances where the page number is given in the "References" section with a link to the "Bibliography" section with the full book citation, and other cases where the full book citation and page numbers are put in the "References" section. See Reference 3 vs. Reference 25 as an example. Any particular reason why it is done this way?
Y fair point - I have fixed these and moved all the books and journal articles into the bibliography. Onceinawhile (talk) 23:13, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- It seems that the list mostly does not use the Oxford comma as in this part "including parchment, vellum, mosaic, wall paintings and paper", but the Oxford comma is used in this list "original factual maps, copied maps, and imaginary maps" so I would remove it for consistency.

- I really like this list but I don't see how this passes criterion 3a. The crusader maps are based on a catalogue, but the other three sections appear to be entirely subjective inclusion criteria. They're very interesting examples but how do I know nothing important is missing? If the Illes Relief is included why is the Holyland Model of Jerusalem relegated to a see also? Isn't the city model at city hall relevant to modern cartography? The Jewish Virtual Library has many more maps that seem important to the history of the city's cartography.
- One of those lists the Brandis map as being the first printed map, pre-dating the Reuwich map by a decade (though with less detail of the city itself)
- There isn't really a broad storyline connecting these maps either, such as discussing differences between the maps, how they improved over time, and how they were used. This is more of a "List of [selected] maps of Jerusalem" instead of "Cartography of Jerusalem", which I would expect to go into more detail about the study and process of mapmaking and the relevance to Jerusalem.
- Hi @Reywas92: thank you for your thoughtful comments, and for addressing what I think is the single most important question for this FL proposal. This was the question I was most focused on from the moment I began this article. Per the comments from other editors above I have had to remove a couple of self-referential sentences which tried to explain the scope of the article.
- In summary, this article lists all the maps which progressed the cartography of Jerusalem; that is its broad storyline. It does not include “imaginary maps of ancient Jerusalem” (a topic which could certainly merit an article; this would include the Brandis map, the Holyland model, and most of the Jerusalem maps listed at JVL [which is usually non-RS btw]), nor does it include either copies of existing maps which didn’t progress it in any way or maps which were materially less detailed than maps already in existence. It stops at “the rise of modern surveying techniques” because after that mapmaking became commoditized. My conviction in building this article with this scope is that an attempted list of every map ever made of Jerusalem – if it was even feasible – would dilute the impact of the maps which were historically significant in the cartography of the city, making it harder for readers to “see the wood for the trees”. Onceinawhile (talk) 08:45, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, that makes sense but the lead needs to define these inclusion criteria, best with a clear explanation for how we can trust that what's listed here is comprehensive and tells the story of cartography rather than just being a selection of maps. The commented-on part above mainly concerned "This article" and the rest can be rewritten. Reywas92Talk 18:31, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Reywas92: thank you. Could you help me understand how I should write this without self-referencing? I have read MOS:SELFREF which says what not to do, but doesn’t say how to explain the scope of a list to readers. Onceinawhile (talk) 21:00, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Could be something like "The maps below represent the progression of mapmaking across the history of the city...They are the most historically significant..." or "All maps marking milestones in the cartography of Jerusalem are listed here...This is a collection of the most important maps, because they show how mapmaking and surveying improved and outsiders could better understand the city."

E.g. the Hague map is called "the most famous" but does not give any detail why and I don't have access to the cited book to learn more about its importance.

- There is no point in having the Madaba map as the lead image as it is shown identically immediately below. You need some variation, such as a different image, part of one of the other maps or a much larger image of the Madaba map.
Y very fair point. I put a modern photo instead for comparison purposes. Onceinawhile (talk) 23:08, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- "Most extant maps known to scholars from the pre-modern era were prepared by Christian mapmakers for a Christian European audience." This implies that there are a significant number of non-Christian maps but ref 2 says that there are almost none. I suggest changing to "hardly any". Are any non-Christian maps known?
Y changed to “almost all”. I think the reason the sources don’t say all/none is because there are likely a few known non-Christian sketches or illustrations on bigger maps like this one, but none which advanced the cartography. Onceinawhile (talk) 23:36, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- "Early religious / pilgrimage maps" It would be helpful if you added dates to this sub-heading.
Y done Onceinawhile (talk) 05:56, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- The dates in the left hand column should be as c.680 when the exact date is not known.
Y done. Onceinawhile (talk) 04:31, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- The table heading 'Description' is misleading. 'Comments' would be better.
Y done. Onceinawhile (talk) 23:48, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- The text in this column is very brief, particularly as it is such a short list. "Dated to the mid 12th century" just repeats the date column. It would be helpful to expand the information, although I realise that in some cases information may not be available.
- Dudley Miles (talk) 14:40, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Y I have expanded these throughout where information is available. Onceinawhile (talk) 21:47, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- @Dudley Miles: thanks for your copyedit, which I am fine with, and for your comment above.

Source review –
What makes National Football Teams (reference 11) a reliable source?
- I've replaced it with another source. Nehme1499 (talk) 00:05, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
References 7 and 14 appear to be in a non-English language, which should be mentioned in the citation (as is done in ref 4).
Refs 9, 14, 16 and 19 are to print publications, which means their publishers should be italicized.
- When I try to italicize them, an error message comes up stating: "Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher=". Nehme1499 (talk) 00:05, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keanu Reeves is a Canadian actor who has had an extensive film career. He is known for his roles in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), The Matrix (1999), and more recently John Wick (2014). This list describes the roles he has had throughout his career with appropriate referencing. As always I welcome constructive comments on how to improve it. Cowlibob (talk) 13:19, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, you learn something new every day. I never knew Keanu was Canadian......
- Comments
- "The following year, Reeves appeared in the crime film River's Edge. In the same year, he starred in the television films Babes in Toyland, Act of Vengeance, and Brotherhood of Justice." - I would combine these two sentences as the first is very short.
- "dies of suicide" is an odd and unnatural sounding choice of words. Why not just "commits suicide"?
- "He played time-travelling slacker Ted "Theodore" Logan in the science fiction comedy Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) with Alex Winter.[3] It was his breakthrough role, and the film was an unexpected commercial success" - again, I would combine this, maybe as "His breakthrough role came when he played time-travelling slacker Ted "Theodore" Logan, alongside Alex Winter as Bill S. Preston Esq in the science fiction comedy Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), which was an unexpected commercial success"
- "In 1991 he starred in action film Point Break with Patrick Swayze. In the same year, he appeared in the science fiction comedy sequel Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and independent drama My Own Private Idaho" - again very "choppy" short sentences, which I think could be combined
- "He starred as a police officer in the action thriller Speed (1994) with Sandra Bullock.[6] The film was a commercial success and garnered critical acclaim" - same again
- "He reunited with Bullock on the 2006 romantic drama" - I would say in, not on
- In the TV table, two titles starting with "The" sort under T, when they should sort under the next word
- Think that's it from me. My main advice is to eliminate some of the really short sentences in the lead -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:12, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- I have to really try and find things to comment on, good work from Cowlibob as always. I only have a few things:
- On the sort for his characters name, Don Jon, it's sorted by "Don", shouldn't it be by "Jon"?
- For his image, I would remove the image restraint of 200px and add "upright=1" or "upright=1.35" for the lead image
- Regarding the references in the lead section - if the film and role is already referenced in the table below then I would remove the references from the lead. If it's referencing how well the film did then it could stay. Just try to remove the redundancy.

Norway has a bunch of interesting World Heritage Sites, and not all of them are fjords (though some are!). The style follows that of a series of other countries, the most recent promoted being Austria. Per comment on one of the previous nominations, this time all descriptions are written from scratch and not only modified from exisitng article (when those articles were first created, there was a tendency to simply copy the description from the UNESCO site).

Comments by Dudley
- "incorporates elements from the prior Viking church from the 11th century." The earlier church was not Viking. The citation refers to 'wood carving and sculpted decor of exquisite quality on the outside includes strap-work panels and elements of Viking tradition...which constitute the origin of the "Urnes style"' in the earlier stave church.
- "Røros is a town where the copper mine was active from the mid-17th century to 1977, when the company went bankrupt." This sounds awkward and there were several mines, not just one. Maybe "Røros was a copper mining town from 1644 until 1977, when the mining company went bankrupt."
- Rock Art of Alta. I would mention that there are thousands of paintings and carvings. Also the dates are approximate.
- Vegaøyan – The Vega Archipelago. There is no point in mentioning inhabitation over 10,000 years as that applies to countless places and the designation is for the cultural landscape of the last 1,500 years. Also you should mention the physical remains: "fishing villages, quays, warehouses, eider houses (built for eider ducks to nest in), farming landscapes, lighthouses and beacons".
- "who first carried out an accurate measurement of a long segment of a meridian – and along with it the size and shape of the Earth." This is an exaggeration. The citation says that he carried out an accurate measurement of a long segment of a meridian, but not the exact size and shape of the planet, which he "helped to establish".

I currently have one FLC active however, it currently has three supports and no outstanding comments so I believe it's OK to move ahead nominate a new page. This is another international player list, this time a slightly longer one given the history of the nation. I believe it meets the standards of the previous lists and is ready for FLC. I look forward to any comments. Kosack (talk) 16:50, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- "The team is governed [....] and compete" - singular/plural disagreement
- "Austria have played 777 international matches since its debut" - and again
- "including three hat-tricks and six braces" - "brace" is not wikilinked, and I suspect many people would not know what it means
- "his final international goal but, Horvath went on to score two more goals" - I think the comma should be before "but", not after
- "If the number of caps are equal" - the subject of the sentence is "number", which is a singular noun, so plural verb is inappropriate
- Note a (at least on my screen) has a line break in it. Can't see any need for this.

of all-time
this phrase is superfluous everywhere it appears. Also, why is it hyphenated when it's not used as an adjective? - RemovedAustria has played 777 international matches since its debut
. The use of "since" implies this tally does not include the team's debut match, when in fact it does. Reword to "Austria has played a total of 777 international matches" or similar. Also, the tally has changed over the course of this nomination so you may wish to update it.
- Reworded,
I'm preparing to update the list over the coming weeks along with the other promoted ones.Kosack (talk) 09:15, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Updated now. Kosack (talk) 08:59, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Reworded,
forced to wait nearly two years
What does "forced" mean here? Was someone or something actively preventing Blum from participating in internationals? If not, reword. - Rewordedunbroken consecutive spell
"unbroken" is a synonym for consecutive, use only one or the other. - Removedmost goals scored in a single match by one player in the nation's history
-> "most goals scored in a single match by an Austrian player". - Reworded- In the table: "National team career" -> "National career". - Done
- Instead of a separate notes column, put the three footnotes next to the players' appearance tallies.
- Unless there's a policy based reason, I'd rather keep this if possible to remain inline with previous list promotions. Kosack (talk) 09:15, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Surely there's space for a few more images beside the list? - Added

First of, I am part of the 2020 WikiCup and will be getting points for this as long as it is a comprehensive review. I also have my own FL candidate I just posted yesterday and as such is helping pay back for the input of other FLC reviwers. Looking at the age of the nomination I sympathize as I've had several die on the vine over the years. Let's hope this doesn't happen here.
- Players
composed of FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship and
- to me there seems to be a word missing or something? is itFIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship matches
?
- Should have been plural for Championships, amended. Kosack (talk) 09:12, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Key
- The link for the first entry goes to ""Austria national football team#Current squad", but the note mentions "eligable to be called up" - that seems to be two different criteria?
- The link is for being active, which links to the national side. The note is not really a criteria it just describes that, due to the fact that the majority of international players will never officially announce their retirement, any active player is still considered active unless sourcing can be provided to show he is retired. Kosack (talk) 09:12, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- List
- Since the first column does not sort there is no way to "reset" the list except to refresh the article. Is there a specific reason why the first column isn't sortable?
- The table is ordered by number of caps, so the position and caps column are listing the same value. Therefore it makes it rather unnecessary for them both to sort. Kosack (talk) 09:12, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- All sources cited for the table were checked in August 2019. So in other words the table is sourced up until August 2019 - Has the Austrian national team not played any matches since? and the article does not mention this date? shouldn't it?
- The table has been updated now. Kosack (talk) 09:12, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Notes - is it really that important that 3 of the 128 players also played for a different country? Enough to give it its own column?
- Well it's rather unusual and is simply to denote the shared allegiance. As I mentioned to the user above, the column is not there just because of that, it is a design that has gone across several FL listed international player lists which I would rather keep to maintain consistency in these lists. Kosack (talk) 09:12, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- but the accessdate for the sources state "25 August 2019", if the table was udated based on the data in the sources I believe the "Accessdate" should be updated to make sure it's clear. - Updated

Anne Baxter was an American actress who had extensive film, television, and stage career over five decades. This list discusses her career. She received the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for The Razor's Edge (1946) for portraying a bereaved woman who suffers from alcoholism. Perhaps her best known roles are as an ambitious understudy in Joseph L. Mankiewicz's All About Eve (1950) and an Egyptian princess in DeMille's The Ten Commandments (1956). As always I welcome constructive comments on how to improve it. Cowlibob (talk) 19:55, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- In the tables, it should be Year then Title per WP:FILMOGRAPHY
- I'm not a fan of Networks being in television tables because they change or become outdated or don't apply to how people watch them, just seems excessive - WP:INDISCRIMINATE
- Same for the Directors column - for a single actors filmography, I just find the inclusion of Directors too much. If we include them, why not include the producers and writers and costars, etc. I have a whole conversation on this going on, trying to have something added to MoS to exclude that type of thing to actors filmography
- I would maybe suggest moving the Stage table below Film and Television? Seems like she's known more for her roles in films than theater
- "a ruthlessly ambitious understudy" - seems a bit peacockish. I would just remove "ruthlessly".
- I would remove the image restraints (ex: 200px) and add "upright=1" to all the images; add "upright=1.35" to the main image so it's a bit bigger than the rest.
- The certain rows with 3+ references, I would maybe put a break in the middle so the reference column isn't so big. Batman, The Name of the Game and Marcus Welby
Rest is very well referenced and looks good :) LADY LOTUS • TALK 18:38, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Lady Lotus: Thanks for your review. I've think I've dealt with the above. I have removed both the director and network columns. On balance, director collaborations are probably better off dealt with in the lead than as a separate column. Cowlibob (talk) 15:28, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Source review – The reliability and formatting of the references both look okay, and the link-checker tool shows no issues.

- Comments from ChrisTheDude
- The only thing I have picked up on the lead is that you seem to use "would" an awful lot, and I'm not sure it's actually necessary in most cases. For example, rather than saying "While comic book films would form the bulk of Evans' filmography from the late 2000s through the entirety of the 2010s", why not just say "While comic book films formed the bulk of Evans' filmography from the late 2000s through the entirety of the 2010s"?
- The key shows colour and a symbol for upcoming projects, but then you haven't actually put the symbol against them :-)

Source review –
What makes CelebMix (ref 39) a reliable source? The publisher itself seems shaky on reliability terms, and the article looks like a low-quality listicle.
- Paper Boy is one I've really struggled with, as information on it seemingly does not exist anywhere on the internet. (Even the Chris Evans fan fourm bemoans as much.) The film clearly exists and Evans starred in it (per the American Illustration and Backstage sources), but I can't find any source confirming that his character was named "Ben" and that it came out in 2003, outside of IMDb. (Sources are also divided on whether it's Paper Boy or The Paper Boy, but the director and film poster refer to it as Paper Boy so that's how I've erred.) CelebMix is clearly a low-quality source, but was the only non-IMDb source I could find confirming this info. Do you have any suggestions/ideas for a remedy?
- If you can't reliably source the name, I'd just remove it and put a dash in the table. Giants2008 (Talk) 20:02, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ref 63 (the Donatelli book) is classified as juvenile nonfiction, so I don't think it's that strong of a source. Other than these couple of references, the source reliability looks okay.
- Replaced with higher quality sources.
One formatting issue is worth noting: all caps in the title of ref 18 need fixing.

Comments Support from Teratix
a score of one hundred or more runs by a batsman
I'm not too familiar with the terminology of women's cricket, but given the subject of the article, isn't it appropriate to use "batter" or "batswoman" throughout?
- As per the Summary of changes to the Laws of Cricket 2017 Code released by the MCC in April 2017, "The new Code of Laws is written in language applying to all persons, regardless of gender. The new Code includes an increased use of generic nouns like "fielder" and "bowler" and uses "he/she" when required, together with a broadened disclaimer covering all genders. The term "batsman" remains, however." So, it seems that those who were consulted on the updated Laws were happy for term to apply to the fairer sex, so that is the term that we shall use. – Ianblair23 (talk) 11:54, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
A women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) is an international cricket match between two teams, each having WT20I status, as determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC). In a women's Twenty20 match, each of the two teams plays a single innings, which is restricted to a maximum of 20 overs.
Switch the order of these sentences, so the format is explained first, and shorten: "In a women's Twenty20 match, each team plays a single innings, which is restricted to a maximum of 20 overs. A women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) match is played between teams with WT20I status, as determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC). " Also put the A and B footnotes here.
an international cricket match between two teams ... each of the two teams plays a single innings ... New Zealand defeated England by nine runs
"cricket", "innings" and "runs" have already been linked in the first sentence.

Dottin, Danielle Wyatt of England and Australia's Meg Lanning and Beth Mooney all lead the list with two centuries each
the sentences before are talking about WT20I centuries scored by players batting at number five or lower, so it's not immediately clear what "the list" refers to here.
- Reworded and moved to the end of the paragraph – Ianblair23 (talk) 11:54, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The oldest player to score a WT20I century is New Zealand's Suzie Bates who was aged 30 years and 277 days
I would put a comma after "Bates", just to break up the sentence a bit.

This sentence takes a very long time to come to its key point. Change to "Despite Chamari Atapattu of Sri Lanka reaching triple figures during the second innings, Sri Lanka lost the opening match of the WT20I series against Australia in September 2019".
a team was defeated with player scoring a century
change to "a team was defeated despite a player scoring a century."

shorten to "Alyssa Healy posted the highest innings score", as "highest" already implies "record".

- I would just like to note I disagree with Dey subrata's three unresolved suggestions. They will make the lead excessively lengthy and will cause the introduction to dedicate too much time to comparatively insignificant details. The reader can find the information themselves in the table. – Teratix ₵ 14:24, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks Teratix, I agree and have responded to Dey subrata's comments below. Cheers – Ianblair23 (talk) 05:55, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- (Responding to Dey subrata) The purpose of the lead is to introduce the topic of the list to the uninitiated reader and note significant aspects of the list, that are not adequately covered in the table, in prose. Records are certainly a key aspect, but it’s possible to be indiscriminate and include excessive and trivial records, which I think is the case with the proposed changes. Additionally, the edits included grammatical errors (e.g. “two centuries scored by players of same team”).

Comments from Dey subrata
- Necessity of paid subscription citation? Better remove refs. 41 and 46 already 40 and 45 showing the stats.
- This was to show that no player of the match was recorded in either ESPNcricinfo or Cricket Archive. But I happy to remove it. – Ianblair23 (talk) 11:27, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Repeated links of ground and places, link once, like that of Manuka Oval, Canberra or County Ground Taunton per MOS:LINK.
- As per MOS:REPEATLINK, links can be repeated in tables which I have done here. Every link only appears one in the body of the article. – Ianblair23 (talk) 11:27, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- It says, "...may be repeated..". Here I don't see any requirement of linking in consecutive rows, like "Manuka Oval, Canberra" in 5 & 6, "County Ground, Taunton" in 8 & 9, "Rwanda Cricket Stadium" consecutively in four rows 12,13,14,15, same with "North Sydney Oval, Sydney" and "Pokhra Stadium" consecutively twice. Better to avoid such. Dey subrata (talk) 22:09, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- In this instance, as the table is sortable I have chosen to link every venue. – Ianblair23 (talk) 05:55, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- There have been three instances where a player has scored a century in the second innings of a WT20I match. You must include the other two centuries here and seeing the importance of Danielle Wyatt's centuries and both the centuries were scored in second innings and a record itself. Include it before (Despite Chamari Atapattu of Sri Lanka reaching triple figures during the second innings, .....)
- Include Beth Mooney century, which is the only and first instance to lost match after a player scoring a century. Include after (– one of only two occurrences where a team was defeated despite a player scoring a century.)
- (This match was also one of three occasions where two WT20I centuries were scored in the same match.) After including above information, this line become insignificant and will be included in the last line, before that include (This is the first (the line is about Beth mooney's century) out of three occassions where two WT20I centuries were scored in the same match. The second instance was when Prosscovia Alako and Rita Musamali of Uganda scored centuries against Mali, which is also the only instance where two centuries scored by players of same team in a match. The third instance was on 29 September 2019 when Beth Mooney scored her second century in the first innings and Chamari Atapattu scored her century in the second innings.)
That is the full picture of the records that should be in the lead. You can modify with better wordings. These are the concerns which need to be fixed. I will be happy to support once the issues fixed. Thank you. Dey subrata (talk) 14:39, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- The last three points remain unresolved. Dey subrata (talk) 22:09, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Dey subrata, I have included the fact that both of Wyatt's centuries were scored in the second innings. However, as there has been now been a fourth instance of two centuries being scored in a WT20I match, I believe that the lead now strikes a good a balance. – Ianblair23 (talk) 05:55, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Ianblair23 I think it was quite confusing for you to maintain what I have said in these three points and along with that new centuries in a recent match was scored, thus there were changes in records, that why I have included the lines myself accordingly. Check my recent edit and if you want to improve wording you can do, but I feel this should be the scenerio of the records. Please check, if need correction in wording, do it and inform me. Dey subrata (talk) 20:01, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't understand why a previous reviewer making points when he already given his conclusion and reverting my edits before you could even go through what I've added or not and before you could even make a point. Listen dear editor, this is a record page and every record is a record. And those record gives you a clear picture about if any player scoring century in any innings winning or loosing match or if two players scoring from same side or not, as a reader and record keeper I would like to know. That does not make any disbalance in the article, rather it gives a clear picture. And by saying the table give all those information in my last three points, if we go by that logic there is no need of lead at all, as the table already giving you all information the lead is discusing. I would ask you to include those facts which must be described in the lead and the table follows the lead not the otherwise. I hope you address it.

One formatting issue exists: refs 48 and 49 are the same and can be combined.The link-checker shows no issues,but I did see one verifiability issue in spot-checks of refs 35, 38, and 48: ref 38 doesn't mention Suzie Bates' player of the match award, unless I'm missing it (that's happened before with me trying to review cricket scorecards). The other references I reviewed did verify similar awards, so I don't know why this one doesn't, but another reference should be found to add to the existing one.Giants2008 (Talk) 23:30, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Kujataa: Replace hyphen with a dash
- Can you make the descriptions more original please? Now I feel like I've been negligent on this in previous reviews but most of them are extremely close paraphrases of the general descriptions on the UNESCO website. Lists I've written have also come mainly from the primary sources but I try to mix it up a bit more with info inspired from our WP article and subpages of the source, rather than doing just enough to avoid a copyright violation. See if you can summarize what's in the "Outstanding Universal Value" sections of the website in your own voice instead of relying on rewriting the brief description at the top, even if that's the highlights. Reywas92Talk 19:45, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, I am aware of that, I am trying to balance the creativity with the facts. Sometimes the descriptions are really bland and contain little facts that can be used, other times there is so much info that it makes sense only to summarize. I'll see what I can do, I am trying to make the descriptions at least a bit different. --Tone 19:57, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- "inscribed at the 18th Session of the World Heritage Committee, held in 1994 in Phuket, Thailand." - source for that? The ref against the site in the table gives the year but not the location or the session number
- Paragraph 2 ends with a comma for some reason
- "Seven sites in Denmark are cultural and three are natural" - clarify in some way that these figures don't include the tentative sites
- There's a stray space between the full stop and the reference at the end of paragraph 3
- "The cathedral is the early example" => "The cathedral is an early example"
- "with furter military modification" - typo in "further"
- "followint the recovery after the mass extinction" - another typo
- "harboring species such as harbour seal, grey seal, and harbour porpoise" - the spelling of the first word suggests that US English is being used, in which case the next two usages of the same word are spelt incorrectly. Best to check for consistency of the variety of English throughout.
- In that same cell, there's another stray space before a ref
- "The peak activity was reached between 17th" => "The peak activity was reached between the 17th"

Comments from Aoba47
- For this image caption (Locations of World Heritage Sites in Greenland.), I would remove the period since it is not a complete sentence.
- I have a question about this part (As of 2019, Denmark has 10 sites inscribed on the list and a further 4 on the tentative list.), I have generally seen numbers ten and under written in words as opposed to numerals. Is there any reason for the numerals in this part? It seems to juxtapose with the next sentence (Three sites), which represents "three" in words rather than numerals.
- I am a little confused by the links for "Denmark" and the "Kingdom of Denmark" as they both go to the same article. I am uncertain if the "Kingdom of Denmark" part should be linked.
Great work with the list. It seems that a majority of the issues were already ironed out during ChrisTheDude's review above. I just have three relatively minor comments, and once they are addressed, I will be more than happy to support this. If you have the time and interest, I would greatly appreciate any feedback for my current FAC. I am completely unfamiliar with Denmark (although I have a weird fascination with Greenland) so I very much enjoyed reading this list. I hope that it attracts more attention in the future.

Comments by Dudley
- "The two burial mounds are pagan sites while the massive stones with runic inscriptions mention the Christianization." This does not seem right. The citation says that the runic stones are pagan and the site illustrates not mentions Christianization.
- Roskilde Cathedral. I think the first two sentences should be swapped. It is better to say the date before saying that it is early. Also the citation says earliest, not just early.
- Sermeq Kujalleq can be linked.
- The citation is out of date on the 65 million year date of the end of the Cretaceous. It is now dated to 66 million year ago, as shown in the ICS chart. (You may say "what does a million years matter?" but it is still better to get it right!)
- "Baroque landscape planning trends". "trends" does not seem the right word.
- Kujataa Greenland. I think it is worth mentioning that the Norse settlements disappeared by the fifteenth century.
- The Category Northern Europe is too broad. It should be in Category:Denmark-related lists.
- A first class list. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:52, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Dudley Miles: Done! The runic stones (further in the text) state "King Harald bade this monument be made in memory of Gorm his father and Thyra his mother, that Harald who won for himself all Denmark and Norway and made the Danes Christians", so this is correct. And the Roskilde Cathedral is the first church in Scandinavia while "Roskilde Cathedral is an outstanding example of the early use of brick in the construction of large religious buildings in Northern Europe." So this is fine as well (not sure of any earlier brick churches in Northern Europe, depends how one counts North Germany, I suppose, but that's in the reference). Thanks for the comments! --Tone 20:08, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- You say "the massive stones with runic inscriptions mention the Christianization". The citation says that one runic stone mentions the Christianization but the other one is pagan.
- Looks fine otherwise. Dudley Miles (talk) 21:01, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Shearonink
- Tone and FoxyGrampa75 - It seems to me that one of the major remaining issues is the wording for the following sentence:
- The two burial mounds are pagan sites while the massive stones with runic inscriptions mention the Christianization.
- The source document states:
- The Jelling burial mounds and one of the runic stones are striking examples of pagan Nordic culture, while the other runic stone and the church illustrate the Christianization of the Danish people towards the middle of the 10th century.
- A further sentence states:
- one pagan runic stone, another commemorating the introduction of Christianity
- The Jelling stones article itself separates the two runestones in type (one Christian & one pagan). I admit I am still reading through the List so maybe I've missed something but I was wondering if there is a reason for retaining the present wording. Shearonink (talk) 02:07, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, I missed this was still an issue. I rewrote the text, I suppose this is now fine. @Dudley Miles:, does it work that way? --Tone 08:52, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- It is still wrong. You say "The stone with runic inscriptions mentions the Christianization." The pagan stone also has a runic inscription. Dudley Miles (talk) 12:06, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks Dudley Miles - agreed. Both stones, the larger/newer/Harald Bluetooth one and the smaller/older/Gorm one, have runic inscriptions. The larger/newer/Harald Bluetooth stone has Christian iconography & wording, the smaller/older/Gorm stone has pagan inscriptions. (I think - if this one issue is corrected appropriately - that I will probably be able to Support. Still combing through the rest of the List.) Shearonink (talk) 17:55, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, I missed this was still an issue. I rewrote the text, I suppose this is now fine. @Dudley Miles:, does it work that way? --Tone 08:52, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Tone Saw your most recent edits to the Jelling stone paragraph and it's much better but still not quite right.
- The monuments at Jelling include runestones, burial mounds, and a church. They document the Danish transition from Norse paganism to Christianity in the 10th century. The two burial mounds are pagan, as well as the older runestone, raised by king Gorm the Old. The larger stone was raised by king Harald Bluetooth, who also erected the nearby church. The stone with runic inscriptions mentions the Christianization.
- The issue with the paragraph now is that both rune stones - the smaller/older/pagan/King Gorm stone and the bigger/newer/Christian/King Harald Bluetooth stone - both have runic inscriptions on them. Both stones are runestones, therefore both have runic inscriptions, one is Christian and one is pagan.
- The paragraph could be adjusted to something like the following:
- The monuments at Jelling include runestones, burial mounds, and a church. They document the Danish transition from Norse paganism to Christianity in the 10th century. The two burial mounds are pagan, as well as the older runestone, raised by king Gorm the Old. The larger runestone mentions the Christianization of Denmark and was raised by king Harald Bluetooth, who also erected the nearby church.
- Something along those lines. Shearonink (talk) 05:00, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. This is a great list, I especially appreciate all the work Tone put into it during my participation in this FLC process. Shearonink (talk) 23:05, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comments/source review from DanielleTH
- Source review on this is brief, as all of these come from UNESCO. UNESCO is a reliable source, especially for this topic. All the links work, citing is consistent. Source review passed.
- None of you images have alt text, and need them per MOS:ALT (plus accessibility is important in general).
No other concerns. Lead is nice, brief but clear. Prose are fine. DanielleTH (Say hi!) 20:04, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Good point about the alt-text, I had missed that.Shearonink (talk) 21:56, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]- DanielleTH
After posting above I then went and checked the images....and I am puzzled. All the images have alt text and have had Alt text since before your comments above. I think you might need to take another look?...Shearonink (talk) 04:36, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]- Tone DanielleTH is correct and I was wrong. I apologize - I wanted to refresh my memory about alt-text so went over the MOS explanatory supplement Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images and I was wrong about the present alt-text being fine.
- From the alt-text MOS :
- [Alt=text] serves the same purpose and conveys the same essential information as the image. In situations where the image is not available to the reader, perhaps because they have turned off images in their web browser or are using a screen reader due to a visual impairment, the alternative text ensures that no information or functionality is lost. Absent or unhelpful alternative text can be a source of frustration for visually impaired users
- Once the images' alt-text is adjusted to what is needed - per intended audience and basic alternative text - I will Support this FLC nomination. Shearonink (talk) 17:19, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Shearonink: just checking, is it fine now? I am not sure if you checked the article before or after I added the alt texts. --Tone 21:04, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Tone I appreciate all the work you and the other contributing editors have done on this FLC - I'm sorry if I haven't explained my understanding of alt-texts well-enough so here's an example - the following FL has alt-texts that are more towards what I think is the ideal:
- List of National Treasures of Japan (residences)#Treasures->Look at the alt-texts for the images in this section. Per MOS:ALT - they're descriptive, they paint a picture for those who might have diminished vision, people who cannot access the actual images in the article, they allow "the content and function of an image to be understood by text-only readers". So, usually, the caption alone from the image's File page isn't enough of a descriptor. The caption is a label and someone who is using a text-only reader needs more than a label - they need a word-picture. Hope I've explained it a little better.

- Tone I think the alt-text is much better in this latest version, but please take a look at alt-text tool results. The text on the right is what a blind person will hear as their spoken substitute for being able to see the List's images. To quote the alt-viewer tool:
- Alternative text (alt text) is meant for readers who cannot see an image, such as blind readers and readers who use a text or mobile browser. It should summarize an image's purpose, and should not duplicate its caption. Every image should have alt text, except for purely decorative images, which should instead have "|alt=|link=".
- The following table shows images and captions on the left, and alt text and captions on the right: the right column is what a visually impaired reader will hear.
- If you were blind, and you were reading this List (as it stands right now) with a text browser, would you be able to see with your imagination all the images in the List from hearing their alt-text descriptions? I am not sure that I would so i've found some FAs & FLs that have very good alt-texts for their images, the following are examples of what I think alt-text can really be: WP:FAs - Pyramid of Neferirkare, Hebron Church (Intermont, West Virginia), Takalik Abaj and WP:FLs - List of church restorations, amendments and furniture by John Douglas, List of Smithsonian museums, Listed buildings in Poulton-le-Fylde, List of National Treasures of Japan (ancient documents). We really need to follow the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Images' first entry at MOS:ACCIM which states Images that are not purely decorative should include an alt attribute that acts as a substitute for the image for blind readers, search-spiders, and other non-visual users. If additional alt text is added, it should be succinct or refer the reader to the caption or adjacent text. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 07:53, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I think they are good enough. This is exactly what I did, like "a look at the cliff from above". I don't think there's any added value if we add "there's a tree in front of the church". Or, propose better wording, if you think it can be improved. --Tone 17:39, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, I agree that extraneous details aren't useful (like the bit about "a tree in front of the church") but people who are blind or using a text-only viewer probably have no idea what specific named places (like Kronborg Castle, the Church Hall at Christiansfeld, Roskilde Cathedral, and Wadden Sea) look like. For instance, the present alt-text for Kronborg castle reads "Kronborg Castle". Couldn't it perhaps read as something like:
- A buff-colored stone castle with a copper sheeting roof overlooking the Øresund strait.
- And the present alt-text for the Christiansfeld Church reads "A church building". Could it maybe be recrafted into something like
- A large simply-adorned yellow brick church building with a steeply-pitched black-tile roof and a central steeple which can seat 1000 people.
- That's all - just some more descriptive details along those lines that will paint the picture for someone who's using a text reader. Shearonink (talk) 19:05, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I understand the point, however, I have two issues here. First, the image of the church is actually illustrative to the article and not crucial for it - among other things, that's why there's no thumbnail. The article is about why a certain property is on the WHS list and not about the church (clearly, it would make sense in the church article, or if the church photo was a featured picture). Second, the kind of descriptions you propose needs sources - I cannot write that it seats 1000 people if I don't have a source for that. Also, not even that it is yellow. That could be my personal opinion or the consequence of light conditions in the photo. For the article in question, I think that "a church building" is perfectly fine. As for other descriptions, what "Kronborg castle" is is well described in the main text (a large castle built in brick). This is what the main descriptions is for. See my point? --Tone 06:12, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I said "something those lines", any possible changes didn't have to be a regurgitation of what I wrote, they were just examples (and as for the brick being yellow - that's in the article and in sources - but ok). I understand what you are saying re main descriptions vs alt-text in this List but I think our understandings of alt-text's purpose and implementation seem to be somewhat different. My schedule this week is slightly crazed, I will come back at some point in a few days or so and take another deep-dive into the List and see what I think then. Shearonink (talk) 13:47, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you. I guess we have slightly different views on how this should be handled - you are more descriptive, I am more technical, but I recognize the importance of alt text and will make sure to use it in future articles as well. Feel free to modify the descriptions here as you see fit. --Tone 14:16, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
