List of international cricket centuries by Marcus Trescothick

 * Nominator(s): Harrias (talk) 11:45, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Another list of cricket centuries, primarily modelled on that of Ricky Ponting. The first one for an English player. Would appreciate any comments, criticisms and improvements. Harrias (talk) 11:45, 29 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments Support Any remaining tweaks will undoubtedly be picked up. SGGH ping! 12:59, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * "the only occasion on which he has made a double century" could be "his only double century"
 * Done: changed as suggested.
 * "His 14 Test centuries have been scored at 11 grounds, with nine of the centuries being scored in England and the five remaining centuries all scored at different grounds. He has made a century in both innings of a Test match on one occasion, against the West Indies in 2004 at Edgbaston. He has been dismissed twice after scoring 90 but failing to go on to score a century, against India in 2001 and Australia in 2005.[5]" Overuse of "century" particularly at the beginning, and the second use of "ground" could be changed to "venue".
 * Done: changed as suggested.
 * "Trescothick's 12 ODI centuries are the most scored by an English cricketer, four more than the next, Graham Gooch"... "the next..." what? "The next" would fit in better I feel if the sentence had been "Trescothick's 12 ODI centuries is the highest tally" but would be better to remove the "next" part.
 * Not changed yet, I have similar issues when writing it, but I'm unsure as to whether it would make sense if it isn't clarified that Gooch has the next most centuries. Just couldn't work out suitable wording.
 * Done: changed in rewrite.
 * the lead overall is slightly bullet-point-esque.
 * Again, not changed yet, I appreciate your point here and will have a look at it properly to work through, I'm not always the most fluid writer! Any help here would be appreciated.
 * Done: changed in rewrite (hopefully).
 * A few other prose issues and grammar.
 * As with the previous point really.
 * Done: changed in rewrite.
 * "Test" column is a bit misleading IMO without "th" or "st" to illustrate you mean which Test in the series. Though I suspect you have done this because it is what Ponting's list does.
 * I'm not sure how much clearer having 'th' and 'st' would make it personally? Would invite other opinions on this.
 * Done: fixed with Chamal's suggestion (x/x), see below. Harrias (talk) 14:45, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Place the cricket archive link in the external links
 * Done: changed as suggested.
 * Is the cricket records box needed? I've always been inclined to include only nav-boxes in the articles they have in them.
 * All the other lists of this type have this box. That doesn't make it right, but for consistency until a discussion/concensus is made, I'll leave it there.

Good stuff, I'll check back with the FLC has proceeded further. SGGH ping! 11:57, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comments, I've fixed those that I'm immediately able to, and left a few other to think and mull over! Harrias (talk) 12:12, 29 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Support: Good enough for me. I was actually talking about MoM awards in the table same as the captained and not out matches (like here), but as I said that's not a big deal and I'm ok with it either way. ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 13:26, 31 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment You should not have two keys that say the exact same things. Please remove the second one, and also check that other century FLs are not also repetitive. Reywas92 Talk 17:58, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Looks great. Reywas92 Talk 22:01, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Done: Merged the two keys and separated from the individual sections. Harrias (talk) 20:50, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Might I suggest having a ==Centuries== with the key in bold type and then ===List of ODI/Test centuries=== or something similar? The current level 1 headings for Key, followed by another level 1 for ODI and another for Test looks a bit blocky and and divisive. SGGH ping! 12:42, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Done: And I agree, it looks better like this. Harrias (talk) 13:01, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Support – FL standards are met after the fixes.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 22:36, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
