List of international rugby union tries by Brian O'Driscoll edit

Featured list candidates/List of international rugby union tries by Brian O'Driscoll/archive1

Nominator(s): The Rambling Man (talk) 16:55, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Following hot on the heels of Bryan Habana's list, this is all about BOD, no, sorry, BO'D. Legend of Irish and Lions rugby, basically a try machine and hopefully this list is worthy of his achievements. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:55, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Kosack

Comments:

The last paragraph states that he has scored two hat-tricks, against France and Scotland, but in the table there is also a hat-trick listed against Japan in 2000 (tries 7, 8 and 9)? The source for the Japan match only credits him with two tries however.
Kosack great spot, and I omitted his try against France in 2001 as a result, so that's now fixed. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:40, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In the key, should the * symbol have the try after denotes? Seems to be inconsistent with the other key items denotes that the match, denotes the try etc. Kosack (talk) 07:19, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:40, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Looks good to me, nice work. Kosack (talk) 17:45, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is just a question but in these lists do think the result cols could benefit from using style="background: #9EFF9E; color: #000; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; " class="yes table-yes2 notheme"|Won and style="background:#FFC7C7; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; " class="table-no" | Lost instead of just the words? Like how award tables use.
I'm not sure how that would really help. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:31, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- I didn't realize it messed it up. I meant the templates for won and lost BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:33, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Result col: Drawn → Draw (personally think this sounds better)
Well "drawn" is in keeping with "won" and "lost", otherwise it should be "win" and "lose" and "draw". The Rambling Man (talk) 20:31, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also, you think the key could benefit from being in a table?
Not really, the Habana list passed without it being a table, it could be, but it's aesthetics really. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:31, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Everything looks good as always. Great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 20:26, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TRM, my questions and tweaks...,

Prose

"He is the former captain..." - 'a' former captain?
"...and has previously captained the British and Irish Lions." - swap "has previously" to 'also'
"...during the Lions victory over Australia..." - apostrophe? ie Lions'
"... total tally of 47 international tries,..." - combined tally?
..."he retired with 141 caps in..." - wlink caps to Cap (sport)
"...Lansdowne Road.[8] It was the first of 19 tries O'Driscoll scored at the venue which..." - table only has 17. The difference is tries 42 and 45 at Aviva Stadium ie same location? Maybe needs a note below table eg Lansdowne Road is the location of the Lansdowne Road Stadium now redeveloped as the Aviva Stadium. (Otherwise editors might change 19 to 17?)
"...went on to score tries in the 2003 and 2007 World Cups." - and 2011 (try 46)
"His 33rd try earned him..." - insert international ie his 33rd international (just to re-emphasise)
"An exchange of passes culminated with O'Driscoll receiving the ball 9 metres (10 yd) out before scoring.[10]" - needs another ref beside the yt one? This one is rather fine. (Better than the Tele one at IRPA list.)
"..."Tier 1" nations..." - refine wlink to T1 section ie #Tier 1?

Key

asterisk denotes was scored - add 'the try' (you accidentally removed?)

Table

no worries
