List of Black Singles number ones of 1982

 * Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:27, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Here's my 40th nomination in this series. Hopefully this time round I have picked up all those niggly little things which kept getting mentioned at FLCs but which I kept forgetting to apply to subsequent lists. Can't promise anything, though :-) Feedback as ever will be most gratefully received and swiftly acted upon -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:27, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Image review - pass: The images are all appropriately licensed. AGF on the ticket on the Aretha Franklin image. I do notice there are less images on this one than other lists of this kind; if you decide to add more, would be happy to review those as well :-)
 * "the chart has undergone various name changes over the decades to reflect the evolution of black music and since 2005 has been published as Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs." - Either adjustment with "since 2005" would be fine: additional commas or moving it to the end of the sentence
 * "also reached the top position for the first time. Of the six acts who topped the chart in 1982 for the first time" - perhaps some variation is possible to avoid this in close proximity
 * ""Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye spent eight weeks at number one during the year but would extend its run to ten in early 1983" - To be cohesive with the tense, the "would" phrasing could maybe be avoided.
 * Very minor nitpicky comments from me this time. Really great job with this!--NØ 07:49, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * - thanks for your review. All done! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:24, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Support--NØ 09:17, 28 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey man im josh


 * Is there any reason you use "Earth, Wind and Fire" as the artist instead of "Earth, Wind & Fire"? It looks like the article page, as well as the sources cited, use the ampersand.
 * Formatting for the date in ref 13 is inconsistent with the rest of the references.

Other than that, looks good to me and passed a source review. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:15, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * - done the first one. Re: the second one, ref 13 doesn't have a date in it.  Are you sure that's the one you meant? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:36, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @ChrisTheDude: I see what happened, I was editing a section (to look over accessibility), so it only showed the reflist for that section at the time. In the overall reflist it's reference 28. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:38, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * - gotcha, fixed now. I did look through all the refs to see if I could spot the offending one but I think my eyes glazed over after a while :-D -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:47, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Extremely relatable lol. Suppport!. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:48, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Pseud 14

 * Ref=Reference abbreviation in the table :)
 * I think you may have missed the "sronly" hidden text for screen readers as in the table as well
 * In the last paragraph, I think the statements that follow the semi-colon can be a separate sentence.
 * Also, on those sentences, I recall from a review (perhaps FAC or FLC), that we should refrain from saying "the singer", instead use the surname or the appropriate pronoun.
 * That's all I got! Very minor nitpicks, for an otherwise very solid work we'd expect from you. Pseud 14 (talk) 02:23, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * - see, I knew it was too much to hope I had fixed all those little things :-) Thanks for taking the time to review the article, and all the above is fixed now -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:12, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Very minor and easy fix :) Looks good! Support. Pseud 14 (talk) 14:42, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Source review –
 * Reliability looks fine across the board.
 * Ref 17 needs en dashes to replace the hyphens in the title.
 * The 1996 Whitburn book shouldn't be listed as it doesn't appear as a cite, unless I missed it in the list. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 22:41, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
 * - done. Either I removed/replaced the Whitburn 96 ref(s) or else it was a copy+paste fail from one of my other lists :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:31, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
