Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:57, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Here's my fourth nomination in this series. In this particular year, several of the chart-toppers were from Broadway shows, including one by a young singer who would go on to become one of the most successful entertainers of all time. Oh, and despite what you might think at first glance, yes that really is a photo of Ray Charles :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:57, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Pseud 14

• was the title song of the stage musical of the same name -- I think it should pipe as stage musical of the same name
• which gave Barbra Streisand the first Billboard chart-topper of one of the most successful careers in popular music history. -- for this part, I think something similar to or along the lines of which gave Barbra Streisand her first Billboard chart-topper and she would go on to have one of the most successful careers in popular music history

Hey man im josh

Source review: Passed

• Reliable enough for the information being cited
• Consistent date formatting
• Consistent and proper reference formatting
• Appropriate wikilinks where applicable
• Spot checks on 15 sources match what they are being cited for
• Assumed good faith on sources I did not have access to

Feedback:

• Ref 3 – Change Huffington Post to The Huffington Post (that's the title we had the page at before they changed their name)
• Ref 4 – Add publish date
• Consider adding the {{Use mdy dates|May 2024}} template to the top of the article under the short description in case anybody else adds references later on and they are not as careful as you've been

Please ping me when the above issues have been addressed. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:30, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Sgubaldo

• Consider splitting the sentence "In 1964, the chart was published under the title Middle-Road Singles through the issue of Billboard dated April 25, Pop-Standard Singles through the issue dated October 17, and Middle-Road Singles again for the remainder of the year, and 12 different songs topped the listing in 52 issues of the magazine" into two parts: "In 1964, the chart was published under the title Middle-Road Singles through the issue of Billboard dated April 25, Pop-Standard Singles through the issue dated October 17, and Middle-Road Singles again for the remainder of the year. 12 different songs topped the listing in 52 issues of the magazine".
• "....nine weeks at number one with "Hello, Dolly!", the longest uninterrupted run in the top spot during 1964" ==> "....nine weeks at number one with "Hello, Dolly!", the longest uninterrupted run in the top spot for the year"

• Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
• "newly-opened": Although I see these hyphens often and it's not a big deal, MOS:HYPHEN does ask you to drop them.
• Checking the FLC criteria:
• 1. I added one link, but nothing else is jumping out at me as a prose problem. I checked sorting on all sortable nonnumeric 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 sources appear to be reliable, and the UPSD tool isn't indicating any significant problems (but this isn't a source review). All relevant retrieval dates are present.
• 3c. The list meets requirements as a stand-alone list, it isn't a content fork, and it doesn't largely duplicate another article (that I can find).
• 4. It is navigable.
• 5. It meets style requirements. At a glance, the images seem fine.
• 6. It is stable.
• Support. Well done. See "newly-opened", above. - Dank (push to talk) 19:03, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
  • @Dank: - thanks for the review. I amended "newly opened". Maybe it's a UK/US differences, as I am pretty sure on this side of the pond we would always write it with a hyphen.....but maybe I am wrong.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:35, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
    • I'm not sure. - Dank (push to talk) 17:45, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
