I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it meets all six FL criteria, and represents one of the best lists Wikipedia has to offer. Adabow (talk) 11:15, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Oppose. Personally, following a decade system like this is preferable. The lead is short and the whole table could concievably go into 11 single lines. Therefore I don't think it is large enough (3b). There are also other issues:

• MOS:COLOUR - don't use colour as only method to convey informaiton
• What makes servinghistory.com a WP:RS?
• Consistency: "number-one" or "number one"?

Thanks for your feedback!

• Size: I largely based the list on this type. Adabow (talk) 12:31, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
• Colour:I have thought about this, but what else could I add without being obstructive and preventing flow?

• You could easily add a § or a dagger or an asterisk or some other punctuation mark immediately after either the song title or artist name. As it is, I have extremely good vision and I can barely make out the grey background, someone with poor vision would not be able to make it out at all -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:56, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

• servinghistory: it compiles news from a variety of feeds, this one from the RIANZ. I have added the original source from the RIANZ site (with an archive) as well.
• "number one" is used alone eg "it went to number one", while "number-one" is used in conjunction with other terms eg "it was a number-one single". Do you see what I mean?

• RE: Size. I realise others exist but standards seem to have changed a bit. The year format was quesioned both times on a twice failed FLC. Most other noms seem to be happy to work towards a decade format or were promoted as a decade format. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 12:58, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

• Ja 1207 wants to make this change. What is the WP policy on this sort of information? Adabow(complain) 21:26, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
