List of Hot 100 number-one singles of 2003 (United States)
I am listing this here at FLC because I feel it meets the criteria, having been edited extensively and peer reviewed. Thank you. --Efe (talk) 12:06, 21 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Support, meets WP:WIAFL. -- Goodraise (talk) 16:01, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Comments from 
 * Published by Billboard magazine, the data are compiled by Nielsen SoundScan based collectively on each single's weekly physical and digital sales, and airplays. - the data are compiled isn't right, it should be "the data is compiled"
 * See Peer review/Hot 100 number-one hits of 2003 (United States)/archive1. --Efe (talk) 03:16, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, you are right.-- TRU    CO   21:39, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Both Knowles and 50 Cent dominated this year's chart. 50 Cent's first number-one single "In da Club" and Knowles' second number-one single "Baby Boy" both topped the Hot 100 for nine straight weeks, becoming the longest-running number-one singles of 2003.  - dominated is in a way a point-of-view, reword. In addition, the first period can be changed into a colon
 * Do you have any suggestion what word to replace? Added column. --Efe (talk) 03:16, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Something along the lines of ..had the longest charting singles...-- TRU    CO   21:39, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Revised the line. --Efe (talk) 12:35, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Seven collaboration singles topped the chart in 2003, setting a record for most number-one collaborations in a calendar year since the onset of rock era in 1955; - "the" needs to be added before rock era
 * Added the. --Efe (talk) 03:16, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * With the combined chart run of "Get Busy" and "Baby Boy", the latter in which he is featured, Sean Paul became the most successful Jamaican-born artist in terms of chart performance in Hot 100. - add "the" before Hot 100
 * Added the. --Efe (talk) 03:18, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * During the year, nine acts achieved each a first US number-one single, either as lead artist or featured guest. - I don't know whether this is an English variation or not, but the word "a" should be added before "lead artists" and before "featured guest"
 * Added only one a. --Efe (talk) 03:16, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Unlink the wikilinks in the image captions, its WP:OVERLINK
 * I think its important to provide links to captions. --Efe (talk) 03:16, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Its fine.-- TRU    CO   21:40, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * With the amount of white space, I would add a couple more images.
 * Will add two. --Efe (talk) 03:16, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * is not a reliable website-- TRU    CO   21:58, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Author is reliable. --Efe (talk) 03:16, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * How reliable is Bill Lamb? Because the publisher About.com has been found unreliable.-- TRU    CO   21:39, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I have found a better source, and I would be happy to remove About.com if you can provide me a link where this site is being discussed, so that I'll stop using the site should it be proven unreliable. Thank you. --Efe (talk) 12:35, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I would talk to User:Ealdgyth because they specialize in proving sources reliable, and she is the one who checks them at WP:FAC. For now I would remove it, and the other source should cover for it.-- TRU    CO   21:34, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The thing about About.com is that anyone can write for it and there is no fact checking or editorial oversight; the reliabilty of individual pages depends on whether the author of that article meets WP:SPS as an expert.
 * OK, I'll remove it. Anyway, I have two better sources. --Efe (talk) 07:05, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - problems resolved to meet the Featured list criteria.-- TRU    CO   16:05, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:25, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Only pending issue is the about.com thing above. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:25, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Note An IP editor has left a comment on the article article's talk page that states the images squeeze the table. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:17, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It depends on the screen resolution of his computer. --Efe (talk) 05:35, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Comment - With regard to the references. The publisher date goes "year-month-date", but the retrieve date goes "date-month-year". — R  2  18:53, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That's how the template is formatted, I think. --Efe (talk) 23:37, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. — R  2  06:12, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - All good. — R  2  06:12, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Is it alright if we move the list to "List of..." as a couple other lists have been moved now? Dabomb87 (talk) 23:50, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it has been agreed in a discussion on the project's page. Go ahead and thanks in advance. --Efe (talk) 01:00, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Letting you know here that I will move your other lists too so that the precedent is clear. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:04, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I actually raised a discussion at the project's talk page for others to generate a guide in the moving of these lists. --Efe (talk) 01:07, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I left comments over there; if nobody raises a concern I will probably move the other pages by the end of the week. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:13, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * OK. --Efe (talk) 01:17, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
