List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Daniel Vettori

 * Nominator(s): S.G.(GH) ping! 21:00, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it meets, or will certainly meet with a little fine-tuning from list experts here, the criteria for FL. The prose I believe will pass, the list is comprehensive, and with a little assistance from those in the know (similar to what happened at the FLC for List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Fred Trueman) it should be deemed suitable. I've modelled the design on similar featured lists List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Ian Botham and List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by James Anderson, neither of which I was involved with.

 * 25 days and not a review! What a drought. Some notes:


 * Link "wicket" on first mention in article.
 * Done


 * Can you link 420 cricket to a specific article?
 * Sorry, how do you mean?
 * My mistake, I misread the statement. Seattle (talk) 17:31, 17 June 2014 (UTC)


 * He made his Test debut in February 1997 February 1997 is an WP:EGG link.
 * That link points to the article on the Test series that he made his debut in. Is this okay?
 * Link "debut in" along with "February 1997" and that should be good. Seattle (talk) 17:31, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Done!


 * Link "runs"
 * Done


 *  five-for until his 5/30 in July 2004 What does the notation "5/30" mean?
 * Five wickets at the cost of thirty runs, I'll explain it in the lead.


 * Number 17 has a typo "Drawm"
 * Fixed


 * Number 17 #Shakib Al Hasan perhaps a typo?
 * Fixed


 * "Key"– Result – The result for the Australian team in that match. New Zealand?
 * Fixed, that's me being an idiot.


 * He is yet to achieve would prefer "has not achieved" here.
 * Will do.


 * I would suggest reviewing other featured list candidates to try and get a few more sets of eyes over this list. Otherwise, the nomination will fail. Seattle (talk) 21:13, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help, I've addressed your points. Could you please take a quick look at the two I've questions for? Cheers, --S.G.(GH) ping! 13:23, 17 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * You hyphenate five-wicket in the title, and that's what the cricket glossary article uses, but everywhere in the lead you say "five wicket". Please fix.
 * "thirty runs - 5/30 - in July" - should either be unspaced mdashes like "thirty runs—5/30—in July" or spaced ndashes like "thirty runs – 5/30 – in July", but certainly not hyphens. I prefer mdashes.
 * You do "Inn." and "Econ." with a period in the table, but not the index.

 * Believe I've caught all of these, thanks! S.G.(GH) ping! 14:28, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Comments —Zia Khan 04:35, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
 * "Of his five wicket hauls, 20 have come in Test cricket and two in ODI matches." → Of his five wicket hauls, Vittori has taken 20 in Test cricket and two in ODI matches.
 * "...seven wickets at the cost of 87 runs." → ...seven wickets for 87 runs.
 * "...he played his first match in March 1997." should be the first part of the sentence!
 * No need of "- 5/30 -", this is redundant.
 * Hmmm, I was hoping that it helped explain what X/YY meant when it comes up later in the article. S.G.(GH) ping! 14:29, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * "...five wickets for the cost of only seven runs." → five wickets for seven runs.
 * Be consistent, use either numerals or words (i.e seven wickets at the cost of 87 runs, five wickets for thirty runs, etc.)
 * You have stated that "He has taken ten wickets across an entire Test match on three occasions." whereas the list shows only 2
 * Ah yes, this is a mistake on my part. His 10 wicket haul in Wellington against SL was a 7-for and a 3-for, thus only appeared once on this list. I've fixed it. S.G.(GH) ping! 20:09, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The Wkts column doesn't sort properly for example 6 wickets for 28 runs should come earlier than 6 wickets for 70 runs and so on.
 * Unfortunately I'm not particularly skilled at tables, I'll ask Harrias so take a look again. S.G.(GH) ping! 20:09, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

 * You could also mention his action in the opening sentence (off/leg right/left arm).
 * Link five-wicket haul in its first instance
 * "involves the taking of five or more wickets in a single innings" -> "involves a player taking five or more wickets in a single innings"
 * Why not abbreviate Twenty20 Internationals when it's used twice in the opening para itself?
 * Full stop missing after "two in ODI matches". The first para looks messed up and possibly needs a re-write.
 * No need to honorify Mr. Hadlee
 * Add England in the pipe "Test debut in February 1997". Borders WP:EASTEREGG
 * Link Sri Lanka
 * Phrases like "His best return with the ball" and "cost of only ..." aren't plain English. Rephrase them in simple words
 * "He did not take a five-for until his five wickets for 30 runs" This sentence reads like "He did not turn 18 until his eighteenth birthday". The sentence needs re-structuring.


 * Delegate's comment - This nomination has been archived. Nominators are asked to wait two weeks before nominating another list and address unresolved comments from this nomination during that wait. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:49, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
