Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:27, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here's my 40th nomination in this series. Hopefully this time round I have picked up all those niggly little things which kept getting mentioned at FLCs but which I kept forgetting to apply to subsequent lists. Can't promise anything, though :-) Feedback as ever will be most gratefully received and swiftly acted upon -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:27, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NØ[edit]

  • Image review - pass: The images are all appropriately licensed. AGF on the ticket on the Aretha Franklin image. I do notice there are less images on this one than other lists of this kind; if you decide to add more, would be happy to review those as well :-)
  • "the chart has undergone various name changes over the decades to reflect the evolution of black music and since 2005 has been published as Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs." - Either adjustment with "since 2005" would be fine: additional commas or moving it to the end of the sentence
  • "also reached the top position for the first time. Of the six acts who topped the chart in 1982 for the first time" - perhaps some variation is possible to avoid this in close proximity
  • ""Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye spent eight weeks at number one during the year but would extend its run to ten in early 1983" - To be cohesive with the tense, the "would" phrasing could maybe be avoided.
  • Very minor nitpicky comments from me this time. Really great job with this!--NØ 07:49, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support--NØ 09:17, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hey man im josh
  • Is there any reason you use "Earth, Wind and Fire" as the artist instead of "Earth, Wind & Fire"? It looks like the article page, as well as the sources cited, use the ampersand.
  • Formatting for the date in ref 13 is inconsistent with the rest of the references.

Other than that, looks good to me and passed a source review. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:15, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Hey man im josh: - done the first one. Re: the second one, ref 13 doesn't have a date in it. Are you sure that's the one you meant? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:36, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude: I see what happened, I was editing a section (to look over accessibility), so it only showed the reflist for that section at the time. In the overall reflist it's reference 28. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:38, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Hey man im josh: - gotcha, fixed now. I did look through all the refs to see if I could spot the offending one but I think my eyes glazed over after a while :-D -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:47, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Extremely relatable lol. Suppport!. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:48, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pseud 14[edit]

  • Ref=Reference abbreviation in the table :)
  • I think you may have missed the "sronly" hidden text for screen readers as in the table as well
  • In the last paragraph, I think the statements that follow the semi-colon can be a separate sentence.
  • Also, on those sentences, I recall from a review (perhaps FAC or FLC), that we should refrain from saying "the singer", instead use the surname or the appropriate pronoun.
  • That's all I got! Very minor nitpicks, for an otherwise very solid work we'd expect from you. Pseud 14 (talk) 02:23, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Pseud 14: - see, I knew it was too much to hope I had fixed all those little things :-) Thanks for taking the time to review the article, and all the above is fixed now -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:12, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • Very minor and easy fix :) Looks good! Support. Pseud 14 (talk) 14:42, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Source review –

  • Reliability looks fine across the board.
  • Ref 17 needs en dashes to replace the hyphens in the title.
  • The 1996 Whitburn book shouldn't be listed as it doesn't appear as a cite, unless I missed it in the list. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:41, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Giants2008: - done. Either I removed/replaced the Whitburn 96 ref(s) or else it was a copy+paste fail from one of my other lists :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:31, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
