I've listed this article for peer review because, having completely re-formatted it, added images and a proper lead, etc, I'd like to know if there's anything else I might need to do before I put it up for FLC.

  • Prose.
  • Check your comma usage.
  • "During the 1990s record companies began making singles available to radio stations much further in advance of their release dates and making greater use of direct marketing techniques, as a result of which the number of singles entering the charts at number 1 increased dramatically, and it became commonplace for singles to enter the charts at the top and then plummet down the listing soon afterwards." -> "During the 1990s, record companies began making singles available to radio stations much further in advance of their release dates and making greater use of direct marketing techniques.

  • I didn't copyedit very thoroughly, but I doubt there are all that many more errors anyways.
  • Lead.
  • No issues.
  • Comprehensiveness.
  • Not that I would know, but it looks fine to me.
  • Structure.
  • You definitely want to enable table sort for your two right-most columns.
  • Though a table of contents is not automatically added, you might want to force it to appear.
  • Style.
  • Since you have only eight refs in your reflist, <references /> is preferred over {{reflist}}.
  • Visual Appeal.
  • Many of those images are unnecessary, but I don't really know what I'd replace it with...
  • Stability.
  • No issues.

Cheers, and best of luck! DARTH PANDAduel 22:27, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Comment from Jameboy: I'd expect to see some kind of links to enable me to quickly jump to the equivalent lists for the 1980s and 2000s, but I can't see any. I don't know if there is a template like "this is the next/previous article in the sequence", if not then maybe link via a See also section? Jameboy (talk) 01:32, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've just discovered the Next and Previous templates, but they seem a bit clunky and don't seem to be widely used. Not sure what else is available. --Jameboy (talk) 01:43, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
