Number-one albums of 1993 (U.S. Top Latin Albums) edit
- A script has been used to generate a semi-automated review of the article for issues relating to grammar and house style; it can be found on the automated peer review page for June 2008.
This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I want this list to be accurate and I want to do the rest of the Billboard Top Latin Albums lists (1994 to date) according to Wikipedia rules so they can be included on the Featured Lists recap.
Thanks, Jaespinoza.
Ruhrfisch comments: While a lot of work has gone into this, I think it has several issues that need to be resolved / fixed as the first of a series of articles. I have some ideas / suggestions for improvement before moving on to other Number-one albums lists. Please note that I do not write music articles, so if I suggest something different from a Music guideline, please just ignore it:
- Could the title be different? I note that Country music hits are listed under Number-one country hits of 2006 (USA), so could the title of this article be something like Number-one Latin albums of 1993 (USA)? Articles are supposed to have a title that is what people would type looking for it - I think this makes more sense as a title.
- A model article is always useful - the only similar FL I could find was List of Christmas number one singles (UK) which may be useful as a model.
- I like that this is an actual table (with lines). For future years, where there is some variety presumably, would it make sense to have the table be sortable? I can give examples of this if needed.
- Do not have bare links in the article (www.billboard.com) - instead I would link Billboard (magazine) and have a reference.
- Per WP:CITE references come AFTER punctuation, and are usually at the end of a sentence or phrase.
- Internet refs need URL, title, author and date if known, publisher and date accessed. {{cite web}} and other cite templates may be helpful.
- For example,
- ""Top Latin Albums" on Billboard.com". 1993-07-10. should be
- ""Top Latin Albums"". Billboard.com. 1993-07-10. Retrieved 2008-06-18.
- Provide context for the reader, for example, the Billboard Top Latin Albums article says the chart began on July 10, 1993, so that is why there is no data before then. The list should make this clear. See WP:PCR
- My problem with this list is that it could be replaced by one sentence like "Gloria Estefan's Mi Tierra was the number one album on this chart from its inception on July 10, 2003 to the end of the year, for a total of 25 weeks." Could this be part of the 2004 chart (one sentence on the 2003 chart like the above) with a redirect from this article?
- I agree with this—it's superflous to create an entirely separate list that tells you something that can be said in one sentence. --Kakofonous (talk) 19:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
- I doubt a list of 25 identical entries (except the date) would make it through FLC and become FL.
Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:48, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Second look by Ruhrfsich:
- The name has been changed to Number-one latin albums of 1993 (U.S.) - should the word "Latin" be capitalized in the new title?
- I think the Billborad logo is not allowed here, under the WP:Fair use guidelines
- The article needs a copyedit to clean up the lead a bit - see WP:PRV or WP:LOCE for copyediting help
- Refs look better
