Wikipedia:Peer review/Number-one Latin Albums of 1999 (U.S.)/archive1
- A script has been used to generate a semi-automated review of the article for issues relating to grammar and house style; it can be found on the automated peer review page for July 2008.
This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I want this list to be as acurate as possible and because I hope this list became a Featured List on Wikipedia.

Comments from JamieS93 – Not a full review, just a couple of comments:
- Per WP:CAPS the article ought to be moved to the title: "Number-one Latin albums of 1999 (U.S.)" (a lowercase album). Unless any other specific reason exists, there's no need to capitalize words in an article's title that aren't the first word, pronouns, regular abbreviations (i.e., "U.S."), the official title of something, nationalities ("Latin"), etc. Answer: When I asked for a peer review for the list of 1993, the reviewer told me to capitalize all the title, but I can change it, no problem.
DONE! - All references should be after punctuation. In particular, "Amarte Es Un Placer became the fourth..." should have the three citations moved to after the period, without spacing between the full stop and refs. DONE!
- In your wikitable, albums that have charted at #1 for more than one week ought to be changed to having the one item in the "albums" column covering multiple rows, using 'rowspan="# of rows"|', if that made any sense. For instance, ¿Dónde Están los Ladrones? should cover six rows vertically, being automatically aligned in the center of those. If you need any help with the formatting, feel free to ask and I can lend a hand. :). Answer: I was thinking just the same, but I don't know how to do it, can you help me?. DONE!
Hope that little bit helps! :) Jamie☆S93 13:35, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Ruhrfisch comments: Very briefly, here are some suggestions for improvement. If you want more comments, please ask here.
- I agree with JamieS93's comments, here are a few more. Would it be possible to provide translations of the titles? This is the English WIkipedia and many readers will not know Spanish. The translations could be in a note or perhaps in parnetheses after the first use). Answer: If I put an extra table with the translations if that ok?
- Any reason why the table is not sortable? Again ask if you do not know how to do this. Answer: Yes, I need some help with that. DONE!
- Article text needs a copyedit - ask one of the people listed at WP:PRV DONE!
- Is Rockonthenet.com a relaible source? Why not link directly to the Grammy web page?. Answer: The Grammy page does not show nominees, only winners. Rock on the net is reliable. I wanted only one reference to use for both artists, but I can change it if its necessary.
Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 14:51, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- Reply - I just made the table sortable and left the refs unsorted. I think the easiest thing would be to either put the translation in the same cell as the title, but in parntheses, or perhaps add another column with the translation, or maybe put the translation in a foot note. I do not think an extra table would help as much. I am not very familiar with music sources, so that is why I asked about the reliability. Glad my comments were useful and nice to review an article where more than one album was number one!~ Keep up the good work, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 18:22, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
