Think that #1s in the 1960s stayed at the charts for ages? This chart prided itself on being more current. Compared to the canonical source this chart had more than double the amount of number ones in an equivalent period of time. Well if you're interested (and even if you are not) I appreciate you taking a look and giving any comments you might have. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 21:53, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The 'note' in the key in the green box appears to be slightly outside of the box for me, looking a bit unprofessional (I'm currently on Mac / Firefox). Jujutacular talk 00:28, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not sure over which edge it was going outside the box. Looking at other browsers, in IE it was pushing a little bit over the top. So I swapped sup tags for small ones. Seems fairly ineffectual to formatting in FF/Chrome but fixes IE problem (although means boxes aren't exactly the same width). Has that solved it for you?

  • How did Got Live If You Want It! get on this list as it is an EP and not a single?
  • The above mentioned EP does not sort correctly (probably because of the lack of quote marks).

Fixed the latter. Hopefully this will somewhat alleviate any concerns you have for the former. Thanks for the comments, Rambo's Revenge II (talk) 13:35, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Looks good, my concerns have been addressed. Jujutacular talk 14:11, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Do you have a ref for the station being also known as Big L?
  • "(also known as Big L). Big L" not great, could you not start the second sentence with "Also known as Big L, ..."? Better?
  • Possibly worth noting this is a UK thing.
    • How do you mean. It is called London radio, and transmitted of the Essex coast. More than that? Rambo's Revenge (talk) 17:11, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fab 40 is overlinked in the lead. Done
  • "and the last Fab 40 chart show was " on the day it closed? Clarified
  • No images at all? Not for the lead necessarily, but perhaps down the edge of the table.
  • Should week ending date be "week-ending date" Done
  • Tremeloe's is overlinked in the notes.
    • Not applicable. Per rationale for references they are dipped in an out through ref tags of so overlink doesn't apply. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 17:11, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Most Radio London Ltd refs seem to have two full stops (because of the template no doubt)... Of course, done

As always, thanks for your comments. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 17:11, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Additionally I found this during an extensive trawl. Although it's nowhere near as good as an image of it during broadcast it is at least free and something. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 18:29, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I like. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:07, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Quick comment – Just scanned through the list, and I don't see the need for two Beatles links in one paragraph of the lead. That's all I saw, though. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:45, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
