Sorry folks, here is yet another in the never-ending country number ones project. So far 56 of these have been promoted to FL, so here's the next one, covering a year in which one of the most successful songs was about smoking cigarettes - not sure that would happen nowadays....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:32, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Why isn't "chapter" capitalized?
  • The caption for the final image needs a source.

Everything else looks great. ~ HAL333([3]) 21:41, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Don't know why that column was headed "chapter", must have been a C+P error when I was re-formatting the refs -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:53, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support ~ HAL333([4]) 21:11, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support! Support! Support! (apologies to Mr. Williams) – All looks good. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:06, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - the things I would suggest would be using {{abbr|Ref.|References}} for the table's reference heading and adding archive links to the online sources, but aside from those nitpicks everything looks good.--AlexandraIDV 16:48, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from TRM

  • "songs in the United States, based on the number of times a song" songs/song repetitive.
  • " in jukeboxes; " for my benefit, where were these jukeboxes? How many were there? The List of Billboard number-one country songs article isn't very helpful in that sense. Indeed, shouldn't that article be linked here somewhere in the lead?
  • Yes, mildly confused now as this list says "The Juke Box Folk chart is considered part of the lineage of the current Hot Country Songs chart" but I though the link above was more relevant.
    • Apologies, I may be being very thick but I don't understand. What "link above" do you refer to? And could you clarify how the sentence is confusing? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:30, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • " in the top spot." repetitive as you started the sentence with "The number-one position ..."
  • " in the top spot since the issue of Billboard dated October 26, 1946," how many weeks was that?
  • I think the chronology for Travis is mildly confusing, you could (and should) add that Tubb broke the Divorce Me C.O.D. run and went back to number one between Travis' hits.
  • "He would have two " tres americain. "He had two"?
  • And then you go into "would" overdrive!
  • " country number one singles" should that "number-one" be hyphenated?
  • Bob Willis (not the cricketer) was "widely known as the "King of Western Swing",[11]" but I looked at source 11 and could see that phrase at all. Our article also calls it "Western swing" rather than "Western Swing".

That's all I have for a quick western swing by. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 21:59, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source review – The reliability of the sources looks fine throughout and the link-checker tool shows no problems. Just a few random formatting issues to fix:

  • The page range in ref 4 looks funky. You have two of the same number in there.
  • Refs 3 and 4 should probably have the longer 13-digit ISBNs, for consistency and per MoS guidelines.
  • Ref 2 could use an en dash in the title for the year range. Giants2008 (Talk) 23:18, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Giants2008: - all done -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:22, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
All of the changes look good. The source review has been passed. Giants2008 (Talk) 23:05, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
