*Second and third sentences of the lead should be the other way - that way "at the time" will actually make sense

*I have a comment about this sentence (The American Billboard magazine publishes a weekly chart that ranks the best-selling albums in the country.). Since Billboard is primarily known as an American magazine (with the other iterations for other countries being lesser known), I am wondering if "The American" descriptive phrase is really necessary. Instead, I think it may be better to remove that bit and replace "in the country" with "in the United States".
I hope my comments are helpful. Once everything has been addressed, I will be more than happy to support this for promotion. Have a great rest of your day! Aoba47 (talk) 19:26, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply] |
- Thank you for addressing my points. I still disagree with the eponymous wikilink, but it is not a major issue. I support this for promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 20:40, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- For future reference, I would not edit other reviewers' comments (in this instance, collapsing them with a header). I do not have an issue with it, but I have seen instances in which some reviewers in FACs or FLCs dislike it so it is probably best to avoid it altogether. Just wanted to let you know.

Hi Aoba47, lead and table are all good. My only comments are the references. Could you please link directly to the page by adding #page=[insert page number in pdf]. So for ref 6 the link would be https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/40s/1946/BB-1946-01-05.pdf#page=24. I would remove "The world's foremost amusement weekly" from the title and add via=americanradiohistory.com to the refs as well. Cheers – User:Ianblair23 (talk) 10:20, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Only issue I have is repeated links of artists like that of Bing Crosby or Benny Goodman or King Cole, in the box. Link once, its enough. Otherwise its a really well wriiten piece. Dey subrata (talk) 15:23, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Dey subrata: they are always linked in the table so you can always use them. If you sort the table differently, you might not be able to access that other page directly.--Lirim | Talk 17:17, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes I know they are linked so that one can open directly, but thats excessive to link a single name several times in a table which is short one and the article is very short article too. For example, Bing Crosby is linked in first row and again linked in the 4th row which is in the same frame of reader, if anyone need to open the article its not at all hard to click his name from first row and its most obvious if anyone want to read the artist's article they will surely click the first time they notice the name, same with Benny Goldman and Glenn Miller which are linked just one after another. It does not make any sense. So its better to remove the link and linking once is enough. You did the same with "Album Column" too. Dey subrata (talk) 10:23, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- It is standard practice in a sortable table to link a name every time it appears -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:37, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Source review – The reliability and formatting of the references both look fine, and the link-checker tool shows no issues. Everything passes muster on the sourcing front. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:13, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
