List of UK Singles Sales Chart number ones[edit]

(

)

... that The Official Charts Company's 2014 decision to include streaming in the UK Singles Chart has led to there being twenty fewer number ones as a result?

Comment: I suspect there's a pithier way of expressing the hook.

Overall: ALT1: ... that the decision by The Official Charts Company to include streaming in the UK Singles Chart in 2014 led to twenty fewer chart toppers? is good to go. Flibirigit (talk) 20:34, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

This is a well created list, but it does not meet the first rules of DYK, which states "DYK is only for articles that have achieved one of the following within the past seven days: Created, Expanded at least fivefold, Promoted to good article status." I recommend using a sandbox for large-scale updates, then moving into the mainspace, which would have made this list eligible.

I don't agree that this article is too old. The article was moved to mainspace on 29 May and nominated on 1 June. Moving to mainspace counts.--Laun chba ller 21:12, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Doing... I apologize, I looked at the wrong move dates. I will review again. Flibirigit (talk) 21:17, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

I recommend changing the close paraphrasing on "following a rise from 100 million to 200 million streams per week between 2013 and 2014" as per Earwig. Flibirigit (talk) 21:40, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Suggested reworing of the hook could read... that the decision by The Official Charts Company to include streaming in the UK Singles Chart in 2014 led to twenty fewer number singles ? Flibirigit (talk) 21:40, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Mmm, almost there. I suggest ALT1: ... that the decision by The Official Charts Company to include streaming in the UK Singles Chart in 2014 led to twenty fewer chart toppers?.--Laun chba ller 22:09, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Great, thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 22:16, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

My suggestion is that this runs July 6, as that's the day the UK Singles Chart will run its first chart to include video. Is this still listed on T:TDYK?--Laun chba ller 22:40, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

I'm not too familiar with the process to request a certain date. Maybe Yoninah could better answer that question? This discussion does not appear on my T:TDYK since it's been verified now. Flibirigit (talk) 23:20, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

@Flibirigit: when you give the final tick to this article, you can open a new date under WP:DYKNA#Special occasion holding area and move the nomination to there. Yoninah (talk) 23:31, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

I learn something new every day. Submitted request for July 6th. Cheers. Flibirigit (talk) 00:46, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
