• Featured list candidates/List of Media Forest most-broadcast songs of the 2020s in Romania/archive1

Nominator(s): Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:05, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because it meets the required critera given the fact that it follows the same strucutre of List of Media Forest most-broadcast songs of the 2010s in Romania, which already is a FL. Love editing on this topic and any comment is appreciated. Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:05, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

• My only major concern is that we are still less than a quarter of the way through the decade. It would be like if Timeline of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season had been nominated in June of that year. Maybe this isn't a problem, I don't know? I'll wait and see what other people think? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:55, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • My guess is that this stems from featured list criteria #6: "...its content does not change significantly from day to day, except in response to the featured list process". Weekly updates for the next 8 years might make it hard to ensure FL quality is maintained. RunningTiger123 (talk) 18:27, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • @ChrisTheDude:@RunningTiger123: Hey there. The only reason why I nominated this early is that not much would change to the article in 8 years. There will only be more number-one entries and there will be more statistics available on which radio station was the most popular per year etc. (also see List of Media Forest most-broadcast songs of the 2010s in Romania, an article which could've been nominated in 2014 since nothing significant changed until 2019). This can be easily updated and is not any significant change to the strucuture of the article that is already there. This chart list is not a topic like the Atlantic hurricane and will not have major changes in the future. Cartoon network freak (talk) 06:13, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. Visual captions can be added by putting |+ caption_text as the first line of the table code; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting |+ {{sronly|caption_text}} instead.
• Tables need column scopes for all column header cells, which in combination with row scopes lets screen reader software accurately determine and read out the headers for each cell of a data table. Column scopes can be added by adding !scope=col to each header cell, e.g. !Artist(s) becomes !scope=col | Artist(s), and the other column headers are on their own lines with !scope=col in the same way.
• Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. I don't return to these reviews until the nomination is ready to close, so ping me if you have any questions. --PresN 20:11, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Cartoon network freak (talk) 06:24, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Is the "This list is complete and up to date as of April 202" needed? Assuming it'll be updated monthly; if there's no updates it'll most likely just be given an ^{[needs update]} template. GeraldWL 02:47, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is used by several lists to show that they are up to date, so I think keeping it is not a bad thing. Can delete it, though, if you insist.

• "and five television channels" --> "as well as five television channels" to avoid repetition of "and"
• "As of 2022, around 40 singles"-- link singles

• No rows with the green key? Or is it there just in case there comes a number-one song? Either way is acceptable by the way, just need clarification.

There will most probably come an instance in the next years where this can be used, so I just placed it there for the moment :)

• The footnote C "Two songs tied for the number one position." shouldn't have a full stop per MOS:CAPFRAG

• In the first image, (member pictured) isn't really needed since the only person in that image is Dreams. Perhaps state when Dreams was pictured-- (pictured 2021)

Carla's Dreams is a band, and I think it is important for the reader to know that it is only one member of the band in the picture. The fact that they're anonaymous makes things even harder, so I think keeping it the way it stands now is the best option.

• ""Breaking Me" by Topic" --> ""Breaking Me" by Topic (pictured YEAR)"
• Same goes with the other images

Added that for Topic, thank you for pointing out, but years should only be added if pictures are significantly older or more into the future than the year the article's topic is in (which is not the case for any picture here).

• In ref 9 and ref 10, link Media Forest for consistency

Not linked in ref 9 because it is already linked. This is common practice to avoid overlinking.

• Ref 5, linked to Romanian-Insider, is detected as a marginal source, "Reliability depends on contributor or topic." Do you think it's a high-quality source here, and if no I suggest changing.

Given the fact that it only sources the non-controversial fact that Carla's Dreams is Moldovan, I think the ref is good enough to stay.

@Gerald Waldo Luis: Hey there, thank you so much for your review! I have solved most of your comments and added some opinions here and there. Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 19:51, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, sorry, I have been extremely and somehow forgot about this lmao. But anyways, I support this FLC. Wish you the best! :) GeraldWL 05:24, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• "As of 2022, around 40 singles each were listed" => "As of 2022, around 40 singles each have been listed"
• ""Breaking Me" by Topic and A7S spent an unprecedented 14 weeks as the most-broadcast single on radio stations" - "unprecedented" means that it was a new record, but this isn't true, because "Shoulda" by Jamie Woon spent 18 weeks at number one in 2012
• "as the most-broadcast tracks on radio and television respectively" - as only one number ("around 40)" is given, there is no reason for the word "respectively"
• "Media Forest also includes Moldovan artists such as Carla's Dreams and the Motans on the chart." - you may not be able to answer this (and it may not need mentioning anyway), but do you have any idea why this is? Essentially we seem to have a chart that is "for songs by Romanian artists only, except for some who aren't Romanian but we include them anyway", which is weird......
• That's all I got -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:33, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cartoon network freak: Are you still pursuing this nomination? --PresN 21:31, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@PresN: Hey there! Yes I am but ooh, I must have forgotten to reply to the last comment. I'll do it later today. Thank you for the ping. Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 06:04, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrisTheDude: Hey there, thank you so much for your comments, I solved everything. Regarding your question: Romania and Moldova are kind of 'brothers'. The same language (Romanian) is spoken in both, and many Moldovan artists are based in Romania and have successful careers in both countries. That's basicaly why. Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 18:37, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cartoon network freak: - you haven't removed "respectively" as per my third point -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:00, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrisTheDude: whoops, I somehow did not see that. Done it now. Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 06:20, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:28, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, this has been stalled out for quite a while. I've looked it over, and I'm going to go ahead and promote. --PresN 02:20, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
