List of Media Forest most-broadcast songs of 2009 in Romania

 * Nominator(s): Cartoon network freak (talk) 16:07, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets all required criteria. I have written it in a similar style to List of Romanian Top 100 number ones and List of Airplay 100 number ones of the 2010s, which I have already promoted to FL status. Comments are appreciated :) Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 16:07, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Is there anything else that you think requires fixing? Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 14:54, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I've just checked ref 7, and it lists two number ones for each week, one Romanian and one international. It might be worth mentioning this in the article and clarifying that the songs listed here are the most-broadcast overall...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:56, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I have added a sentence to clarify that. Cartoon network freak (talk) 07:57, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I am never a fan of prose saying "this article lists....." - that's pretty much the same as starting with "This is a list of....", which has been deprecated for years. I think it might be better to have a symbol indicating whether the song was Romanian or foreign.  You could have an additional couple of rows in the key saying "Song topped the Romanian song listing and was the most-broadcast song overall" and the equivalent for foreign -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:53, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the suggestion, I really think it's a great solution actually. However, I chose to not color the cells for those other key rows since then, the table would be colored all the way and it'd be exhausting to see. Plus, the song of the year is Romanian, so it'd need two colors. I'm aware this list may be a little complicated to understand, so I revised the lead a tiny bit: "Media Forest has been publishing 'four rankings which list' the top ten most-broadcast Romanian and foreign songs on Romanian...". Do you think that is a good solution? Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 13:08, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Comments from Aoba47

 * I have always been told to avoid using fixed image sizes (i.e. the 200px for the Black Eyed Peas image) so I would remove that.
 * For this part, (In that year, eight and 11 singles were listed by Media Forest), I would say "In 2009" instead, and I would either represent both numbers through words or numerals, but having a combination of both in one sentence looks rather odd to me.
 * I agree with ChrisTheDude's most recent comment above.
 * The break used for the "featuring Nicole Scherzinger" part of the chart looks rather odd to me in some views. Is the break completely necessary for any reason?

Good work with the list. Once everything is addressed, I will support this for promotion. I hope you are having a great weekend so far. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I think I have addressed everything here. Thanks for the comments; Cartoon network freak (talk) 07:56, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I support this nomination for promotion. Thank you for addressing everything. I very much appreciate all of the work you have done on Wikipedia about Romanian music. It is very inspiring. I have been quite obsessed with Inna's single "Sober", though I still love listening to the whole Yo album. Sorry as that is off-topic, but just wanted to express that to you.

 * Thank you very much for your comments and the support. I guess I just like Romanian music and rankings ahah. And Inna's releasing a lot of EDM tracks lately, kinda getting back to her roots. There's a new one called "Nobody" that you should definitely check out. All the best to you; Cartoon network freak (talk) 19:27, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the update. It is crazy how much music she is releasing lately, but I've been enjoying it lol. Aoba47 (talk) 19:46, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
