I have nominated this list twice before, but each time it failed on the basis that some editors did not agree with single-year lists for number ones. As such lists have continued to be promoted (eg List of Gaon Album Chart number ones of 2011 in 2015), this clearly isn't consensus and therefore I thought it was worth another punt..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:50, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Aoba47
  • I was a little confused by the title of the list as it was not made immediately clear what was meant by "country singles". Would it be more clear to rename this list as "List of Billboard number-one country singles of 2000" to make it a little more clear that you are referencing a Billboard chart?
    • The problem there is that the other 75 articles in Category:Lists of number-one country songs in the United States would presumably also need changing to be consistent............? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:29, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • I will say that it is fine for now then; I will leave this matter up to other more experienced users/reviewers. The title just reads as ambiguous/a little unclear to me, but I will not make an issue of it during my review. Aoba47 (talk) 15:42, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The image requires ALT text.
    • Upon further examination, I am not entirely sure about the quality of the image as there is a little bit of "noise" (a lot of the image is taken up by other people/actions during the red carpet). Do you think it would better to simply put two separate images of the singers so that way the reader has a clearer image of the two? Aoba47 (talk) 19:06, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the infobox image's caption, I think "scored" is a little informal and should be replaced with a better word choice.
  • In the sentence (Published by Billboard magazine, until 2012 the data was compiled by Nielsen SoundScan based on each song's weekly airplay.), I think that the "until 2012" could be better integrated/placed in the sentence as it stands out rather awkwardly in the current phrasing.
    • Changed to something which is hopefully better. On reflection, the fact that the methodology changed in 2012 isn't really relevant to a list relating to 2000...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:42, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the phrase (until it was knocked off the top spot by "Cowboy Take Me Away",), I think the phrase "knocked off" is a little too informal and should be revised.
  • In the phrase (performed by girl group the Dixie Chicks,), it should read as (the girl group the Dixie Chicks).

Wonderful work with this list; my review primarily focuses on the lead's prose. Once my comments are addressed, I will support this for promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 15:09, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you for addressing all of my comments; you have done an excellent job with the list and it is an interesting read. I support this for promotion. If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if you could look at my current FLC? Either way, have a wonderful rest of your day. Aoba47 (talk) 22:43, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • "airplay" is piped to a redirect, no need.

  • "overthrown" emotive, why not just replaced?

I will get to the access issue when I can figure out what actually needs doing :-S -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:41, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@The Rambling Man: I can't figure out where the row scopes need to go, can you help......? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:35, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
See this, you also don't need all those "left aligns" as that's the default. Probably not that important for the refs either, but hey ho. I did two rows (the scope should focus on the primary data element, in this case the number one single title, by the way). Plainrowheaders just stops stupid bolding and central alignment that seems to be an HTML thing. I personally requested this be implemented a few years ago when I was going through the ACCESSWARS which ended in a creditable draw, and with benefit to all of our readers.

Thanks! I'll get on with the rest later today.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:29, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
All done now -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:50, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • For accuracy, shouldn't this be called "List of Hot Country Songs number-one singles of 2000"?
Probably, but then it wouldn't match the other 75 in Category:Lists of number-one country songs in the United States and I don't fancy changing them all.....
Perhaps, but this is mildly concerning, is this the only country music chart in the United States? The Rambling Man (talk) 07:22, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm presuming it's because the chart has had a bewildering variety of different names down the years and whoever created the articles wanted consistency in the titles..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:02, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well that's possible, but we do cater for that in other articles such as the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction which has changed quite a few times in its relatively short history, the article is moved and redirects are made from all the old names. But my chief concern remains, is this the only country music chart in the US? The Rambling Man (talk) 09:09, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It certainly was in 2000, as far as I can see..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:23, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, then I'm cool with it. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:11, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@The Rambling Man: - having looked at old issues of Billboard, which are available via Google Books, it seems there was in fact a second country songs chart back in 2000 (Top Country Singles Sales), although it seems to be super obscure. Nonetheless, for absolute clarity I have moved this article to a 100% accurate/clear title -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:16, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support your diligence is much appreciated. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:31, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – It looks like Chris took care of TRM's issues, and I don't have anything to add. Nice work. Giants2008 (Talk) 20:21, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
