List of international goals scored by Wayne Rooney

 * Nominator(s): The Rambling Man (talk) 13:07, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Rooooney. His goals and his imminent passing of Bobby Charlton's all-time scoring record for England have been the subject of many discussions over the past few months, so I thought I'd bang this into shape. I would be interested to see what the community here think could be improved/added/removed. As always, my thanks all of you who contribute, in whatever form, to the process.

Support on style and structure. Rooney's goalscoring record in the tournaments, particularly the World Cup is often scrutinised. Just an idea, you could rephrase "He has scored a single goal in the World Cup finals," to "...only scored once..." to reflect this? Lemonade51 (talk) 16:00, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks again, have tweaked as you suggested. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:20, 18 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Comments from West Virginian
 * Support:, I've completed my review and re-review of this nominated list, and I find that it meets the criteria for Featured list criteria. Per Manual of Style/Lead section, the list's lede adequately stands alone as a concise overview of Rooney's international goals. The image of Rooney is licensed CC BY-SA 3.0 and is therefore suitable for use here. This image does need an "alt" citation, though. Also, Macedonia national football team should be wiki-linked in the lede, since England and Australia's national teams are. addressed the only other issues with the list, which look to have been sufficiently answered. Thank you for writing another featured-worthy list and congratulations on a job well done. --  West Virginian   (talk)  04:30, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi West Virginian, thanks for your support and your comments. I've added alt text, but Macedonia is already linked on its first appearance in the text.  Cheers! The Rambling Man (talk) 07:13, 18 August 2015 (UTC)


 * This list needs some kind of visual tally by year and by competition. Nergaal (talk) 18:42, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Please explain why you think that's required. I can add something but your comment is unclear, by competition is clear from the table and the prose, by year, is that really needed or is it just stats?  Thanks for your comment.  The Rambling Man (talk) 18:55, 18 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Some of the scores look the wrong way around. #32, #34, #35, #36, #39, #43, #45, #46. Harrias talk 07:23, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * wow, stoopid me, and sorry for taking so long to notice your comment. Fixed now I think?  The Rambling Man (talk) 18:21, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Support, yup looks good to me now! Harrias talk 07:12, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Support from Tim riley
As an ancestral Evertonian it goes against the grain to support anything to do with the goblinesque defector, but this FLC seems to me to meet all the criteria. Dammit.  Tim riley  talk    20:39, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks Tim! The Rambling Man (talk) 20:55, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Support Great work. NapHit (talk) 22:15, 19 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Support - It will be the first FL for international goals unless I'm mistaken and it sets a nice template for future articles of this type. The prose flows really smoothly even though it is incredibly stat-heavy, which is a great achievement. Spiderone  11:53, 26 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Support - as second-equal top scorer or as the second-equal top scorer - and one behind or and behind. Other than this, the list is very well written and made.-- Cheetah  (talk)  06:52, 29 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Support, not that I think it needs any more support !votes...! Mattythewhite (talk) 20:47, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
