List of Scotland international footballers

 * Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk), Jmorrison230582 (talk)

Yesterday I noticed that the first FLC for this article had seemingly stagnated and that outstanding issues weren't being addressed. I therefore decided to get involved and fix up all the outstanding issues, which I believe I did, only to then find out that the FLC had in fact already dropped into the failed log before I'd started! After obtaining Matthew's blessing, however, I have re-nom'd the article myself, as I believe all the outstanding problems from the first FLC had been addressed. Hope that all makes sense :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:26, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Support. All of the problems which i had found in the article that were added to the previous FLC have all been dealt with as Chris has mentioned above. Eddie6705 (talk) 17:48, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Support -- Previous issues from old FLC are resolved to meet WP:WIAFL standards in my eyes.-- ₮ RU  C Ө   21:34, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Comments Stuff I raised at the previous FLC has been satisfactorily resolved. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 18:33, 6 March 2009 (UTC) Support All issues resolved, list satisfies criteria. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:16, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * In the opening sentence, "the first official international match" needs a reference: the match in question has its own article, Scotland v England (1872), so you might well find one there :-)
 * Denis Law being joint-top scorer made me ask "who with": could you work Dalglish's name into that sentence somehow?
 * Key. Not sure the as-of date should be in with the definition of pink(?)/asterisk;
 * and, the positions key looks really awkward, with the centred heading miles to the right of the position names.
 * Should the Mac/Mc names sort together? like we use to get all the Mackay/MacKay/McKays sorted together in category lists.
 * John Wark's caption needs a full stop.
 * All done. All the Macs/Mcs now sort as "Mac", which means that Lou Macari gets sorted in with them as well, but I don't think there's any way round that..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:26, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 12:08, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

 * What makes these pictures below, relevant to this list? Someone has analyzed the quality of these images itself? C anniba  loki  01:38, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

 * erm, they're all players on the list, not sure what the issue is. Is it simply that the images depict the players in an "off-the-pitch" situation?  If that's a major issue I can remove them, I'm not especially fussed either way.  I note, though, that some existing sports FLs use images of players not actually on the pitch - List of York City F.C. statistics and records has an image of one of the players in his late 70s.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:08, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment There is over-linking in the references section. Does Scottish Football Association really need to be linked almost 200 times? (If you address this within the next three hours, let me know and I'll promote it). -- Scorpion 0422  20:53, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * If someone who had AWB could do it, it would make life much easier. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:55, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I've just done it -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:58, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
