Just tidied this one up, re-verified the lead, made the table and images accessible. Most of the hard work was done by Sahara4u who has been away from Wikipedia for a bit, but I've co-nominated them. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:12, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weird now it doesn't show as dead so I don't worry about it. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 15:55, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • "in a single innings" don't think that's grammatically correct
    I'm afraid it is. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:11, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are two "as of February 2018"'s that explain the same thing (that he's first among Test makers in New England). Avoid repetition
    No, one is talking about Test cricket, the other is talking about cricket in general. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:11, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Adding to the preceding comment, do you plan on updating the "as of" every month or how often exactly?
    Not really. The point is that the facts are accurate in the lead "as of" the month I updated it. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:11, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Link the first usage of Not out in the lead.
    Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:11, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Everything else looks good. Great job on this! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 02:05, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BeatlesLedTV, I've responded above, one outstanding issue as far as I'm concerned. Cheers! The Rambling Man (talk) 11:11, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Support – Word order needs a fix in "making three against centuries them." That's the only issue I found. Giants2008 (Talk) 03:35, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Giants2008 done, thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:29, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by JennyOz

Hi TRM, my comments (and a question) follow,

Prose

  • "Taylor has scored Test centuries at nine cricket grounds, including five at venues outside New Zealand" -
  • ten different grounds in Test table.
  • and six venues outside NZ. (refs 9 and 10 confirm)
  • "...he is most successful against West Indies, making three centuries against them." - four
  • "...scoring 128 not out New Zealand lost the match..." - needs punc
  • "He has played 77 Twenty20 International..." - ref now says 78 (and update archive?)
    I think he played just a couple of days ago in the tri-nations tournament..! The Rambling Man (talk) 13:06, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • "...Taylor is joint 31st (with Gary Kirsten)..." - could add 'with 34' just to help when next updates done?

Tests table

  • C6 - (Question) Taylor retired hurt on 122 on day 2. (Retired hurt says "For the purposes of calculating a batting average, a scorecard entry of 'Retired, hurt' or 'Retired, ill' is considered not out." So in such a case do we mark with an asterisk as not out?
    Besides the definition, the scorecard shows the score being "for 7" (or "7 for" in Australian). Counting "outs" including Taylor comes to 8. So yes, we should asterisk it! The Rambling Man (talk) 13:16, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • C9 v windies - ref 7 is for aust v nz match. Should be this?
    Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:16, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • date 2 Dec - should be 3
  • C13 - date 15 November - 13 (these date changes are moving to first day of Test match per key)
  • C14 - date 30 July - 28
  • C15 - date 7 August - 6
  • C16 - date 28 November - 25
  • C17 - date 11 December - 9
  • add man of the match dagger

ODI table

  • C10 - remove pipe to sponsor name?
  • C11 - strike rate 79.02 - ref says 77.77
  • C14 - strike rate 89.04 - ref says 89.43
