List of Hot 100 number-one singles of 2005 (U.S.)

 * Nominator(s): Efe (talk)

I am nominating this for featured list because it was peer reviewed and I feel it meets the criteria. Regards, Efe (talk) 11:39, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments from 
 * General
 * Can you hold off on your nominations until at least one of your other FLCs are promoted, their is a current backlog and lack of reviewers, and multiple noms by the same user contributes to it. Although, it would be grateful if you would be able to review other nominations. I'll review this one later.-- ₮RU  CӨ   13:08, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I didn't notice. I felt it was safe to nom again because 2006 already got three supports. --Efe (talk) 00:20, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Lead
 * Stefani earned her first number-one single in the United States this year, although she had been with band No Doubt since 1986. -- add "the" before band
 * Fixed as suggested. --Efe (talk) 00:24, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hip hop artist Kanye West gained his first number-one single, "Gold Digger", as lead artist; West previously had a number-one single with "Slow Jamz", a 2004 song by rapper Twista. -- this would be better worded as "Hip hop artist Kanye West gained his first number-one single as lead artist, with "Gold Digger"; West previously had a number-one single as a guest with "Slow Jamz", a 2004 song by rapper Twista
 * I think the comma before with is a misuse. IMO, its better to leave it as is because "Gold Digger" has to be near with "single". Unless there is grammatical error there, I would change it. Any other suggestion on the phrasing? --Efe (talk) 11:02, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, you are right. Remove the comma.-- ₮ RU  C Ө   21:42, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * "Don't Forget About Us" is the 17th number-one single of Carey, placing her second in the list of acts with most number ones in the United States,[3] tying Elvis Presley. -- add with before Elvis' name.
 * Fixed as suggested. --Efe (talk) 00:24, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Images
 * The Mariah pic (mostly its caption) needs to be resized some how, it rolls over into another section.-- ₮RU  CӨ   22:19, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I have used "upright" already. If I will resize it again, it will look awful in other resolution settings. Perhaps trim the caption. I'll try. --Efe (talk) 00:21, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm awaiting a followup on this.-- ₮ RU  C Ө   21:42, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I guess this couldn't be done?-- ₮ RU  C Ө   15:33, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I am afraid not. It will also look awful in computers with different screen resolution settings. --Efe (talk) 03:19, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I mean, it looks horrible how it is now with my screen resolution, which is pretty wide, but I guess its fine for now.-- ₮ RU  C Ө   21:35, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Support -- Previous issues have been resolved to meet WP:WIAFL standards.-- ₮ RU  C Ө   21:35, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

 * There were some IPs who feel that the current formatting of the tables look awful. What they did was restore the list form and remove the lead. They were invited to discuss the matter, but they did not. They persisted so Eric protected them. --Efe (talk) 06:36, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, I had to revert another IP yesterday who was quietly tampering with the navbox at the bottom. Dabomb87 (talk) 12:50, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
