Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Billboard Tropical Albums number ones from the 1980s/archive1

Nominator(s): Erick (talk) 18:06, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With enough supports and both the image and source passed for List of Billboard Latin Pop Albums number ones from the 1980s, I am now ready to tackle on the FLC for this list! If slow ballads aren't your thing, how about some "hot sauce" to spice up your life? Let me know in the comments about anything I missed prior to nominating it.

Out of curiosity, is there a rule in place for when to do these lists per-decade instead of per-year? ChrisTheDude's songs lists are all per-year, but your album lists are per-decade, so I thought that was the divide, but I see in the navbox that the Regional Mexican Albums and Latin Rhythm Albums are also per-year. --Pres N 22:14, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue it depends on the number of items on the list. Like for example if I try doing this by year by year it would be very short list with maybe three albums at most. Erick (talk) 22:34, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DBC

"were the only the other" to "were the only other".
"Luis Enrique had two number one albums on the chart with Amor y Alegría (1988) and Mi Mundo (1989), the latter culminated the decade": It would read better if the sentence ended at "(1989)".
ref 65's url is for the week of August 8, 1987, but its title is June 27 and it is shown in the row for June 27. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:26, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MPGuy2824 Thanks for the quick review! I think I got everything you mentioned! Erick (talk) 15:44, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support promotion on prose and table accessibility. My ref check was a random click and I've not done a full source review. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:24, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

"In June 1985, Billboard magazine established Tropical Albums (formerly designated as Tropical/Salsa Latin Albums)" - this doesn't really make sense, as it kinda states that the chart was established in 1985 but that prior to that it had been called something else, which it can't have been because it hadn't been established. I would suggest "initially called...." or "from 1985 until [whenever] called....."
Lead image could be made larger
"The first album to reach number one on the Tropical Albums chart was Innovations (1985) by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico" - suggest changing this to "The first album to reach number one on the Tropical Albums chart was El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico's Innovations (1985)" so that you don't say the act's name twice in immediate succession
"El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico was also the musical act" - the word "musical" is redundant and can be removed, as all acts on the chart are by definition musical
"Ruiz and Santiago were the only other artists with three records to reach number one on the Tropical Albums chart." => "Ruiz and Santiago were the only other artists with more than two number ones on the Tropical Albums chart during the 1980s."
"which spawned the single, "Ven, Devórame Otra Vez", and" - don't think those commas are needed
"The latter culminated the decade" => "The latter was the final number one of the decade"
Santiago image caption needs a comma after "era"
That's all I got - nice work! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:44, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude Thanks Chris! I got everything you mentioned. You ever think about doing #1 Albums for country/R&B albums as well? Erick (talk) 16:45, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Magiciandude: - I already worked all the country albums number 1 lists up to something approaching FL standard. Maybe I will nom some here one day :-) Oh, and support this one :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:27, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source & image review from Dylan620[edit]

Refs 5, 27, 29, 31, 32, and 34 need archive URLs.
Refs 9 and 88 have live URLs that are incorrectly marked as dead.
Every ref in the table (13–131) should have the |url-access=subscription parameter added because the live URLs are only visible in full to Billboard Pro subscribers.
Alt text in first image: "on a venue" reads weirdly to me, maybe "at" would work better?
Alt text in Santiago image: from Santiago's point of view, the microphone is to his right, therefore he is holding the microphone in his right hand.
Since the source for the Rodriguez image is a YouTube video, a timestamp should be added to either the source URL, the image description, or both.

Everything else looks good for the most part:

A spot check of multiple sources verifies the information for which they are cited.
All sources are reliable.
No concerns with the alt text in the latter two images.
All images have suitable captions.
All images contribute encyclopedic value to the listicle.
Except for the minor issue with the lede image, all images present in the listicle have suitable captions.
Sourcing for each image (mostly) checks out.
All images are appropriately licensed for either public domain or Creative Commons.

Thanks for the comments! I'll get to work on this either Sunday or Monday. Erick (talk) 16:13, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good 😎👍 Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 17:13, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As promised, I have completed everything you addressed by Monday. Let me know if I missed anything! Erick (talk) 15:52, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Erick: Unfortunately, it looks like IABot reversed the fixes made on the second and third bullets, though I'm pleased with the rest of the changes. Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 00:00, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted the changes the IABot did for now. Erick (talk) 00:34, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support – I did just add |url-status=live to a few URLs that were marked as dead, but that was the only minor issue left and I have no qualms with supporting now. For what it's worth, if you have any time or interest, I would love some feedback on an older FLC. Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 00:58, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
