Comments from ChrisTheDude[edit]

Resolved comments from ChrisTheDude (talk)
**"The chart was first issued in the magazine issue on March 24" - a bit mangled, maybe say "The chart was first published in the magazine dated March 24"
    • "The first number-one album on the chart was King Cole Trio's" => "The first number-one album on the chart was the King Cole Trio's"
    • "released on 78 r.p.m. records by Capitol" - this could be taken to imply that other albums on the list were not issued as 78s, but in fact they all would have been, as 78 was the only format available back then. I would remove the reference to 78s altogether, or else add a general note somewhere else to say that all these albums were released as 78s.
    • "The cast album was composed by Rodgers and Hammerstein and topped the charts" => "The musical was composed by Rodgers and Hammerstein and the cast album topped the charts"
    • "Bing Crosby was the only artist to have two album " - two albums
    • "The latter one was" - the latter album
    • "King Cole Trio was the longest reigning album of the year, with twelve weeks followed by Glenn Miller with seven weeks" => "King Cole Trio was the longest reigning album of the year, with twelve weeks at number one, followed by Glenn Miller with seven weeks"
    • "Albums released by Decca, topped the charts" - shouldn't be a comma after Decca
    • "twelve unconsecutive weeks." (image caption) => "twelve non-consecutive weeks."
    • "Glenn Miller's Orchestra (pictured in 1941) compilation album Glenn Miller topped the charts for eight weeks, thorughout the year." => "The compilation album Glenn Miller by Glenn Miller's Orchestra (pictured in 1941) topped the charts for a total of eight weeks during the year."
    • In the table, King Cole Trio (in the artist column) should sort under C, because it was Nat King Cole's group (in the same way that Charlie Daniels Band would sort under D)
    • Any reason why Glenn Miler (album title) is not in italics?
    • "Amusement" is spelt incorrectly in all the reference titles
  • Think that's it from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:56, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I fixed a typo for you and am now happy to support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:58, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - if Best-Selling Popular Record Albums or Billboard Best-Selling Popular Record Albums doesn't exist, why is this notable? The Rambling Man (talk) 19:14, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: These articles are not needed or could be redirected to the Billboard 200 page. The chart is mentioned here in the Billboard 200 article. The page was originally titled, List of Billboard number-one albums of 1945. As the first Billboard album chart, which incoporated all genres. This should be notable.Lirim | Talk 20:25, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I would have thought if notable, then redirects would be there, at the very least. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:11, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Created a redirect.--Lirim | Talk

Comments

  • "Robert Wright " is piped to a redirect.
  • You use "topped" five times in the lead, can you mix it up a little for less repetitive prose?
  • " was certified gold " link "certified".
  • Is there any reason that "Original Cast" is thus capitalised in the table?
  • "18 weeks, by Capitol for 17 weeks and by RCA Victor for nine week" MOSNUM, 18/17/9 or eighteen/seventeen/nine.
  • "Bing Crosby (pictured in 1951) was the only artist with two albums atop the chart." do you mean the only "solo" artist?

@The Rambling Man: Thank You.--Lirim | Talk 10:04, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar:

  • Comma needed after "Best-Selling Popular Record Albums" in the first sentence.
  • No comma after "three weeks" in paragraph two sentence two.
  • No comma after "Glenn Miller & His Orchestra" in paragraph two sentence five.
  • No comma after "album of the year" in the second-to-last sentence in the final paragraph.

Also, no images used on the page have alt text, which is needed for accessibility reasons. DanielleTH (Say hi!) 20:42, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@DanielleTH: Done.--Lirim | Talk 22:36, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Changes look great. Happy to support. DanielleTH (Say hi!) 00:28, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Quick comment Support – Decca Records could use a link in the lead, unless there's one that I missed. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:12, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Giants2008: Done.--Lirim | Talk 23:29, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from zmbro
  • Kinda picky but in one instance you write out "twelve" while everywhere else you use numbers for everything above 10. I'd say "12" for consistency
  • 9 should be spelled out per MOS:NUMS
  • The bottom 2 images seem a little big to me.

Sorry this has been up so long. Should have my support soon! – zmbro (talk) 03:05, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Zmbro: Thank you. The Rambling Man, critizied that the numbers all need the same format, so I didn't change it.--Lirim | Talk 06:03, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – Good for me. Great job to you! – zmbro (talk) 15:13, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Source review – All of the references are reliable and well-formatted, and the link-checker tool shows no problems. Everything looks good on the sourcing front. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:17, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have found and fixed two redirects in the lead and see also section and also fixed missing dot. Whole table should be checked at an angle of redirects. Eurohunter (talk) 18:40, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Eurohunter: I found one redirect in the table and removed it. Thank you.--Lirim | Talk 01:31, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
