Nathan Lyon is an Aussie cricketer who is more interestingly known as Gary the Goat. This list was more or less complete when I found it and one of the few among this type of list to not be FL, so I thought I'd take it through. AryKun (talk) 11:46, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Don't need commas round his name in the image caption
Removed.
  • "As of August 2019, he is yet to....." - August 2019 was well over two years ago, is this sentence actually up to date?
He hasn't played any T20Is since, so still his only wicket. Updated the as of template.
One use of "as of August 2019" remains..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:07, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Checked that, he doesn't have any ODI fifers yet and those remain his best figures, so updated.
  • I don't believe the Test ten-wicket hauls table is needed, as all the info is already clearly marked in the main table
The ten-wicket haul table is worth keeping, it doesn't actually duplicate any information. It's certainly quicker to peruse for someone specifically looking for Lyon's ten-wicket hauls than digging through the main table.

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB) edit

  • Tables need column scopes for all column header cells, which in combination with the row scopes you have lets screen reader software accurately determine and read out the headers for each cell of a data table. Column scopes can be added by adding !scope=col to each header cell, e.g. ! style="width:5%;"|No. becomes !scope=col style="width:5%;"|No..
  • I think I've added this to all the column headers, could you check? AryKun (talk) 14:56, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. --PresN 14:38, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Kavyansh edit

  • "Lyon has taken 18 five-wicket hauls for his country across 105 Tests, 29 ODIs, and 2 T20Is as of February 2022." — should be "As of February 2022, Lyon has taken 18 five-wicket hauls for his country across 105 Tests, 29 ODIs, and 2 T20Is."
Done.
  • "at the Galle International Stadium, Galle" — Do we need to repeat 'Galle'? Same with "the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide on", and various other stadiums.
removed the name of the city for stadiums where the stadium name indicates the city.
  • "at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on" — Missing MOS:GEOCOMMA
Added.
  • "on 8 March 2012", "29 January 2016" v. "4 March, 2017" — be consistent on whether to put comma after month or not. Same in the table.
Added in the text per DATECOMMA, but the ones in the tables are in templates and can't have commas added.
  • !scope=col Symbol should be !scope=col | Symbol Same with !scope=col Meaning, and in the "Test ten-wicket hauls" section table.
Done.
  • I think 'Lost' or 'Won' cells could be colored in red or green respectively. For example, current FLC: this
I'm not good with tables and can't figure out how to do this, could you help?
I did it! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 13:12, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks!

That is it. Would appreciate if you could take a look at this FLC. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 11:48, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to take a look soon. AryKun (talk) 13:21, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

CommentsSupport from TRM edit

  • "and as of February 2022 only 40" as the retrieval date for the source for this stat is August 2019, worth a look again. I counted 49 with a quick look...
Updated.
  • He's currently on 106 Tests, as it's March now.
Updated.
  • "on 31 August, 2011," no comma after August.
Done.
  • "best figures in " link bowling figures.
Done.
  • "415 wickets in Tests" 417 now.
Updated.
  • "overall" seems odd, you need a better way of expressing "in all cricket nations".
Reworded.
  • And it's tied 14th now with Harbhajan Singh.
Updated, tied 13th with Pollock now.
  • "Lyon made his Test debut against Sri Lanka at the Galle International Stadium on 31 August, 2011, " vs "Lyon made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka at the Adelaide Oval on 8 March, 2012.[12]" jarringly repetitive.
Attempted rewording.
  • "8 March, 2012" no comma after March.
Done.
  • Not going to mention the commas any more, check all dates, in DMY we don't have a comma between month and year.
Done.
  • "Darren Sammy" one R in Daren.
Done.
  • There's a section on ten-wicket hauls, but that's not even mentioned in the lead.
Added small para.
  • Note [a], Lyon appears to be now tied with Swann, Gibbs and Southee. And update the retrieval dates for stats you're saying "as of February (should be March now) 2022" so they don't say retrieved in 2019. Complete giveaway!!
Done, and updated for all where the date is relevant (the ones that aren't match reports).
