nice list, no copyvio, looks good. A couple of things: (a) the actual sport Dwayne plays isn't mentioned in the hook and (b) is there an overall source which dates more recently than 2015 for him still being Canada's top scorer? I don't doubt he is but six years is a long time for someone else to have potentially crept past him. Even the RSSSF source is dated from two years ago. Is there a list of Canada's top scorers overall we could find? Also need a QPQ of course. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:13, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Fixed the hook, added a source from 2019, and added a QPQ. Unfortunately, Canada has had terrible luck in international soccer (scoring once in 13 games in 2013, for example), but is on the upswing as of late, so this record could be surpassed sometime in the decade.

@The Rambling Man: Just pinging again to make sure this gets through. Sounder Bruce 07:06, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

sorry SounderBruce, completely dropped the ball on this one. Yes, that's satisfactory as far as I'm concerned. Good work, getting a tick. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 07:53, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
