List of Hot Country Singles number ones of 1979[edit]

Featured list candidates/List of Hot Country Singles number ones of 1979/archive1

Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:00, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Continuing my little number-one country songs project, which has thus far produced 43 FLs. So here's the potential #44, covering a year in which the Bellamy Brothers topped the chart with one of the worst-titled songs ever (IMO) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:00, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support – didn't spot any outstanding issues. Read the prose in detail – looks all good. Images utilized are licensed and tagged, with appropriate alt text. And all the URLs are working. Looks to me like it meets all 6 FL criteria. Great work! —Bloom6132 (talk) 13:44, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~Comments~~ Support from Hog Farm.
- Worldcat suggests that the Kingsbury book with that ISBN was published in 1998, not 2004. Might want to check the edition.
  - It's based on this Google Books listing (I don't physically own the book) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:11, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Can we get publisher locations for the two books?
  - One was published by Oxford University Press - is it really necessary to say they are based in Oxford? Other one added..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:11, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- That's all I have on this one. Hog Farm (talk) 19:41, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

COmments by MPJ

I am surprised to see a whole paragraph in an FLC being unsourced?
More to come. MPJ-DK (talk) 05:03, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Para 2 doesn't need specific sourcing because it only summarises content from the table. This has never been an issue before...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:29, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - I have never personally seen that before, but if it hasn't stopped FLs from passing in the past then I'm good with the precident set.MPJ-DK (talk) 13:00, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - See List of Hot Country Singles & Tracks number ones of 1991, where similar content is not explicitly sourced in the lead -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:10, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Text wise all I see is that it does not have the "oxford comma" for sentences such a Waylon Jennings, Anne Murray, Kenny Rogers and Conway Twitty is missing the comma after Rogers. Otherwise I'm not seeing anything wrong in the lead. MPJ-DK (talk) 17:11, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Table

Sorts correctly on all three sortable columns, have appropriate "scope=" parameters defined etc. cannot find a fault in it. MPJ-DK (talk) 17:13, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I added the missing comma -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:22, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support - that is an excellent piece of work. MPJ-DK (talk) 22:45, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support passes my sourcing review. --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 01:33, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
