Hi everyone, we're nearly there now you will be pleased to hear - with 74 of these number-one country songs lists promoted to FL and one nearly there, here's the penultimate one to be nominated (until this year ends and I need to work on the one for 2021.....). In this year, acts reaching number one included such legends as the Everly Brothers and Elvis - back in 1957, Billboard considered the early rock and roll/rockabilly sound to be a hybrid of country music and rhythm and blues, and so classics like "Jailhouse Rock" were big hits on both the country and R&B charts. Anyway, as ever I look forward to your feedback, which will be acted on as quickly as humanly possible..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:17, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Source review – Pass
edit- Version reviewed — 1
- Formatting
- Ref#1 – format the ISBN number using this tool.
- In fact, do the same for all ISBN numbers.
- Joel Whitburn is linked in Ref#2 and 7, but not in Ref#1, 3 ,and 6
- Is the John Bush of Ref#4 this John Bush? If so, you might want to link it.
- Same goes with Stephen L. Betts
- Ref#9 lacks author (Richard Buskin), and date (June 2011)
- Ref#12 to Ref#62 – Everything seems fine ...
- Reliability
- No issues. Most of the citations are from Billboard, appropriate for these type of lists.
- Verifiability
- Suggesting to archive all sources; whenever you can ....

- @Kavyansh.Singh: - actioned. I can find no evidence that Stephen Betts is the same person as the person who writes for AllMusic, so I have not linked him. Same with John Bush -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:56, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Fine then. Pass for source review. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 09:02, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from TRM
editAs always, nice work. You should be able to get one of these past me with zero comments by now but .......
- "charts would merge" why passive voice?
- "form a multimetric chart" whaaaaat?
- "At the start of the year" as we've talked about other years, maybe "At the start of 1957...
- "topped all three charts and was in the top" topped/top
- "country number ones during the year; he reached number one" repetitive.
- Here's a curious one. You have a "jockeys" chart and I assume that's what's meant by "airplay-based listing" but for non-experts, there's no connection between what a "jockeys" chart is and the fact they are DJs putting songs on rotation...
- "topped the pop singles charts" which charts were those?
- "than 20 number ones to his name" to his name isn't needed.
- "and returned to the top spot" returned to number one (to avoid three "top" in that sentence).
- "Marty Robbins had the final number one on the juke box chart." with??
- Ref 2, en-dash in year range.
That's it. Please make sure to ping me when you get round to the topic nomination! Cheers. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 20:21, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @The Rambling Man: - all of the above done -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:49, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Support happy with my comments being addressed. And thanks for the table inspiration. EXACTLY what I was looking for! The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 21:03, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Other reviews
editComments from Dank
- Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
- A table caption is required, with or without an sronly template, so I added one.
- I say below that UPSD isn't picking up any problems, and that's true, nothing that I consider a problem ... but for the first time that I can recall, it's labeling Billboard in yellow (meaning "some bad, some good, it depends").
- Checking the FLC criteria:
- 1. The prose is fine; no edits from me. The table coding seems fine. I checked sorting on all sortable columns and sampled the links in the table.
- 2. The lead meets WP:LEAD and defines the inclusion criteria.
- 3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations.
- 3b. The article is well-sourced to reliable sources, and the UPSD tool isn't indicating any problems (but see above). All relevant retrieval dates are present.
- 3c. The list meets requirements as a stand-alone list, it isn't a content fork, it doesn't largely duplicate another article (that I can find), and it wouldn't fit easily inside another article.
- 4. It is navigable.
- 5. It meets style requirements. At a glance, the images seem fine.
- 6. It is stable.
- Support. Well done. - Dank (push to talk) 22:32, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Ojorojo
Another well-done list, but I have a couple of questions:
- I haven't used {{Ref label}} (I use {{efn}} instead), but shouldn't a header, such as "Notes", appear before the list of notes?
- "Ref." in the last table column often uses Ref., but not here. Oversight or ?

- @Ojorojo: - both amended -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:09, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- That answers my concerns. Support —Ojorojo (talk) 14:23, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
