Nominator(s): Cartoon network freak (talk) 10:01, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because it follows the path of its FL preecessor, List of Media Forest most-broadcast songs of 2009 in Romania. This list is longer, though, so comments are kindly appreciated :) Wishing a great day, Cartoon network freak (talk) 10:01, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just pinging some users on this: @Aoba47, MarioSoulTruthFan, and Paparazzzi:. They can decide whether they leave appreciated comments or not. This nomination didn't get any attention sadly. Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 06:14, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

*Any others Moldavian artists? Should be named as well.
There are, but I think giving just Carla's Dreams as an example suffices to show the fact that Media Forest does also include Moldovan artists on their year-end charts.
Give at least another example. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 11:36, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • around 100 singles each were listed by Media Forest as the most-broadcast tracks on radio and television respectively. → Why "respectively"? Are or aren't they the same number of singles?
Around 100 singles on the television chart and around 100 singles on the radio chart.
Thank you for the clarification. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 11:36, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • around 100 singles → be more precise
I think this just makes things complicated. Since we have differing numbers on the radio and television charts. I also did things unprecisely on my other FL.
Understood. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 11:36, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The first were "I Gotta Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas → The first were "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas (similiar to the beatles)
  • had the most songs to be listed as the most-broadcast ones on both radio and television, with eight each. → Similiar to the caption you have on the first image would be more approriate
I'm sorry, I don't understan what you're trying to say here.
You need to re-write that sentece since it is not clear, use the one in the caption since it is more clear. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 11:36, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • longer than any other, → remove as anyone can understand that from the former sentence
  • The charts' last top song of the 2010s was "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I. → "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I was the final top song of the 2010s on both listings.
  • Not sure if the label information is that relevant, perhaps a more experienced user can help with that.
I will keep it here until there are further reviews.
  • Sometimes you link Media Forest and others you don't, be consistent.
I always linked Media Forest, with the exception of when there are multiple citations in a reference. Then I only link it once.
On reference 10 is not even linked once. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 11:36, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good work with the list. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 11:45, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from ChrisTheDude[edit]

  • Photo caption - "Smiley (pictured) and Carla's Dreams both had eight songs listed as the most-broadcast ones on radio and television" => "Smiley (pictured) and Carla's Dreams both had eight songs listed as the most-broadcast on radio and television"
  • "They are based on the number of times tracks are broadcast" => "Chart placings are based on the number of times tracks are broadcast"
  • "The first were [....] in January 2010." - well obviously the first number ones of the 2010s were in January 2010, so I don't think you need to say that
  • "this feat was achieved by Carla's Dreams's "Luna" with a total of 15 weeks" - although technically correct, "Carla's Dreams's" looks really weird, so maybe change to "achieved by "Luna" by Carla's Dreams"
  • "The latter artist and Smiley had the most songs to be listed as the most-broadcast ones" => "The latter artist and Smiley had the most songs to be listed as the most-broadcast"
  • "Kiss FM, Pro FM and Virgin Radio Romania were the trendsetting radio stations" - what does this mean? In what way were they trendsetting?
According to Media Forest, this means that the respective radio station was the first one to broadcast a song (that would become a radio hit eventually and receive support from other radio stations too) on heavy rotation. Any idea how we could formulate this?
After giving it some thought, I think I would say "Kiss FM, Pro FM and Virgin Radio Romania were the radio stations that gave the first airplay to the highest number of songs which went on to top the chart" -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:54, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • You don't need to say "(pictured)" in each photo caption unless it's unclear who is pictured e.g. in the Lady Gaga caption you don't need to say "Lady Gaga (pictured)" because obviously it's her. It is needed, though, in captions like ""Ecou" by Elena Gheorghe (pictured) and rapper Glance...." to clarify which one of the two she is
  • "In 2013, Andra (pictured) contributed with two singles to that year's most-broadcast ones on television: "Inevitabil va fi bine" and "K la meteo"." - the English here is rather odd. I would just say "In 2013, Andra had two singles which were the most-broadcast on television: "Inevitabil va fi bine" and "K la meteo"."
  • Think that's it from me - good work overall! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:08, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude: Thank you very much for your review! I implemented everything and answered to your question. Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 15:12, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude: So I actually took a look at another ref and they seem to be clearer there: "The title of 'TRENDSETTER 2019' is designated to the radio station that broadcast the songs that reached No. 1 in the MediaForest Weekly Charts the most during 2019." With that in mind, I added things to the sentence in the lead. Hope it's fine now. Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 10:04, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose from MaranoFan[edit]

Given that the first three comments I left at the peer review have not been addressed.--NØ 03:36, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MaranoFan: I have addressed your comments. However, I do have a comment on your second one: I prefer using "the top ten most broadcast Romanian and foreign songs" over "the top ten most broadcast songs" because I want to stress the fact that there are two different charts for both radio and television airplay that list the Romanian and foreign songs separately. Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 15:11, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Aoba47[edit]

  • For this part, "around 100 singles each were listed", is there a reason why a specific number cannot be provided?
I purely think this is not needed. We would have different total numbers for both the radio and television charts, and everything would result in a wordy sentence. Wordier than some of the article already is due to the subject matter ahaha. I think an approximation is the good way to go in this case. Also, I've been doing this for my other Romanian chart FLs too. Cartoon network freak (talk) 18:52, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is more of a personal preference, but I would avoid using "latter" as done here, "The latter band and Smiley", and just say "Carla's Dream and Smiley". Your current wording is not wrong, but I just wanted to raise this to your attention to think about. Feel free to disregard this if you prefer the current wording.
This actually makes a lot of sense, thank you for pointing that out.

Everything seems to have already been addressed by the above reviewers. I just have a clarification question and a more stylistic suggestion. Otherwise, great work with this. Aoba47 (talk) 18:38, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoba47: Thank you very much for your comments, I left replies. Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 18:52, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your responses. I support this for promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 20:42, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source review - Pass[edit]

  • I went ahead and linked the unlinked publishers
  • Reliability and formatting looks great, pass for source review Aza24 (talk) 08:14, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Promoting- checked out MaranoFan's issues, and with the nominator's comment on why the specific wording is used, the only thing left is to archive references- which is now done. --PresN 15:03, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
