With 46 of these lists already having reached FL status, here's the next in the sequence. In this particular year, the two main claimants for the title of "first lady of country music" both reached the top of the chart for the first time....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:56, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

I only found one thing:

  • Although I tend to place commas before "and" in a list, I understand that it's just a matter of preference. I noticed that in the two colon lists in the third paragraph have these commas. It would be best for consistency if they were removed, unless there is a rule for colon-lists which I am unaware of.

Another great article. ~ HAL333 17:09, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • @HAL333: Apologies, but I seem to be having a bit of a dumb moment, and I can't figure out which comma(s) you would like me to remove - could you clarify? After which word(s) should there be no comma? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:37, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ChrisTheDude No Worries, I could have been a little more clear.

  • "Three other artists reached number one for the first time in 1967: Wynn Stewart, who topped the chart for two weeks in June with "It's Such a Pretty World Today", Leon Ashley, who spent a single week in the top spot in September with "Laura (What's He Got That I Ain't Got)", and Jan Howard, who ended the year at number one with "For Loving You", a duet with Bill Anderson." --> The comma after "Laura (What's He Got That I Ain't Got)"
    • But that comma closes the clause that starts "who spent a single week". Removing it would make it read "Leon Ashley, who spent a single week in the top spot in September with "Laura (What's He Got That I Ain't Got)" and Jan Howard", thereby implying that he spent a week at number one with Jan Howard.
  • "In addition to James, three other artists each took three different singles to number one in 1967: David Houston, who topped the chart with "With One Exception" and "You Mean the World to Me" as well as his duet with Tammy Wynette, and Buck Owens, who reached the top spot with "Where Does the Good Times Go", "Sam's Place" and "Your Tender Loving Care"." --> The comma after "Tammy Wynette" should be removed.
    • Same as above, except it would make it sound like he did a duet with both Tammy and Buck.......? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:55, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My reasoning for this is consistency. Either all of the lists should have commas before the "and", or none. I also just realized that the removal of the comma in the second list would make it somewhat confusing. It might have to be reworded. And as I noted before, there may be some grammatical rule regarding commas in colon lists and I may be all wrong in this matter. ~ HAL333 21:19, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@HAL333: - for ease, I have re-worded most of that paragraph..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:02, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I made one minor edit to the tense in the last sentence ("five weeks in").
  • In light of the recent RFC on table captions (closed back in May) and how FLCs have to follow MOS:ACCESS, a table caption should be included. However, I think this quote by PresN applies to this list: "In the case that the table is the first thing in a section where the section header is essentially the same as what the caption would be, and therefore looks duplicative visually, you can make the caption screen reader-only with the {{sronly}} template, e.g. "|+ {{sronly|Example table caption}}" instead of "
  • Read the prose in detail – looks all good.
  • Images utilized are licensed and tagged, with appropriate alt text.
