- I'm not sure association footballer really works, it should either be association football player or just professional footballer.
- The lead is a bit light on info, and there is only 1074b of prose. With 48 goals to his name, there must be some notable goals worthy of inclusion?
- I don't know if it's perhaps a mobile issue, but the date column doesn't sort correctly for me.
- Why aren't the score columns sortable?
- eu-football.info has been called into question in previous FLCs, so I'd prepare a backup source if possible for those.
- AFS Enterprises is the publisher of 11v11.com.
A rough pass over to pick out the most obvious issues I could see to get started. Kosack (talk) 14:12, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A few more points from the new additions and a couple I didn't spot the first time
- "He is the Ukraine national team's all-time top goalscorer with 48 goals in 111 appearances, also making him the second most capped Ukrainian international behind Anatoliy Tymoshchuk (144)", source for any of this?
- "against Slovenia, Shevchenko scored", the subject hasn't changed from the first sentence so I would use he rather than Shevchenko again here.
- "leaving Ukraine to lose on aggregate 2–3", I'm not overly convinced of the wording here. Perhaps, "with Ukraine losing 3-2 on aggregate"?
- Link aggregate to Aggregate score.
- "captained the side to a second place finish behind Poland", source?
- "During 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification, Ukraine topped their qualifying group stage", can drop the second mention of qualifying here as it's already implied by the opening, same in the previous sentence also. Also stage is unnecessary I would say, they topped their group, not the stage.
- "automatically advancing them directly to the main competition in Germany and their first World Cup in history as an independent nation", this sentence seems a bit long winded.
- "Shevchenko captained the side to a penalty shoot-out victory against Switzerland", source?
- "but losing to eventual champions Italy in the quarter-finals", this run on doesn't really work grammatically
- "He decided to retire from international football after the final match in the group stage against England", source doesn't really support his decision to retire.
- Generally, digits below ten should be written as words rather than digits, so 7th > seventh, scored 9 goals > scored nine goals etc.
- There seems to be an unusual mix of scoreline formatting here, for example you have "in a 1–2 loss" and "with a 1–0 loss for Ukraine". It's generally accepted to say "in a 2-1" loss, irregardless of home and away status in European football.
- I would say the actual countries don't need linking in the table, per WP:OVERLINK.
- There are three BBC refs listed, one uses BBC Sport and the other two just BBC. Try to maintain one style for consistency. Kosack (talk) 14:22, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- There still appears to be no ref for Tymoshchuk's inclusion. The goals by year table needs scope rows also. Kosack (talk) 07:17, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @KingSkyLord: Only minor changes left for my support here, any advance on these? Kosack (talk) 12:30, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @KingSkyLord: Kosack left this note more than three weeks ago, any chance you can respond? The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 22:48, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @The Rambling Man: Yes, I am currently busy at the moment. I will respond to it as soon as tomorrow. I have been very busy for the past month. If you want to finish some of it up, you can. However, I promise to complete it all by the end of the day tomorrow! KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 23:30, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @KingSkyLord: no problem. I won't be editing the list but I just wanted to know if the nomination was active. After you've made your updates, I'll review the list tomorrow. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 23:33, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @The Rambling Man and Kosack: Alright. I've finished all of it. You both can go check now. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 16:15, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @KingSkyLord: eu.football.info has failed to pass several FLCs in the past, including my own, as there are no obvious signs of reliability. Is there another source available? Kosack (talk) 07:35, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Kosack: Is National-Football-Teams good? I found it at the bottom of Tymoshchuk's article. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 15:06, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I think NFT is more solid and is widely used on Wiki so I'm much happier with that in place. Happy to support now. Kosack (talk) 09:23, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
