Here's the 14th nomination in this series. In this particular year Jim Croce scored two number ones despite the fact that he had sadly died the previous year. Comments as ever gratefully received -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:36, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Alavense

In the first caption, maybe say something like "for two weeks"?
As with previous lists, you could state when the first issue of the year was published.
I'm unsure about the Three Degrees and the Love Unlimited Orchestra. Is "the" part of the name? If it is, shouldn't it be capitalized? If it is not, shouldn't it be removed from the table? Ignore my comment if I got it completely wrong.
Consider adding {{abbr}} for Ref., as in previous lists.

That's what I saw, ChrisTheDude. Kind regards, Alavense (talk) 07:59, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alavense: - points 1, 2, and 4. Re: point 3, see MOS:THEBAND, which says that with music acts whose names start with "The", that word should not have a capital T in prose -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:23, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the edits. And I learnt something new today! Nice work. Support. Alavense (talk) 09:29, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man im josh

Source review: Passed

Consistent date formatting
Consistent and proper reference formatting
Appropriate wikilinks where applicable

I'm stumped, I got nothing to suggest! Great job Chris, support. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:31, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
Your image of Jim Croce looks like it was derived from some version of File:Jim Croce publicity portrait ABC Records (cropped).jpg. I say that because the image you're using doesn't have any source information (and the tag it uses probably needs a source to back up what the tag is saying), and the links for previous versions of the image are all dead (usually! but sometimes not) ... but the original image does have source information, so maybe it would be better to use that one.
Checking the FLC criteria:
1. Nothing 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.
Close enough for a support. Well done. - Dank (push to talk) 22:07, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Dank: - many thanks for your review. I changed the Jim Croce image -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:26, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks. It's such a pleasure to read your lists, especially this latest series. And thanks for all the work you've been doing at FLC. - Dank (push to talk) 12:16, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Dank: - thank you for those kind words. I think I saw that you also have an open nom so I will look at that in due course -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:28, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Couldn't find any issues, but see if you want to use the cropped version of Croce's image. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:52, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
