List of number-one EPs (UK)

 * Nominator(s): Rambo's Revenge (talk)  18:20, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Vinyl EPs are dead, but they had a life in the 1960s and even their own chart. Hopefully it is up to standard and maybe even slightly interesting. I realise I've been away, but assuming I haven't missed the introduction of any new "scope" or "alt text" type standards, I believe it is up to scratch. As always all reviews are greatly appreciated.

 * Comment - no images..........? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:53, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't add one because any actual EP or cover would be non-free and I don't think justified under WP:NFCC#8. As for artist images, all images of The Shadows are truly pathetic. Ditto for The Beach Boys (their article used copyrighted ones + a rubbish older one meeting Regan). I don't really want to use the Beatles image because it seems to be in the lead of many of my FLs and that's a bit boring. I've put in an image of someone who never got a UK number-one outside the EP chart, is that okay? Rambo's Revenge (talk)  20:42, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Comments –
 * Don't need to link The Beatles or Shadows twice in the lead.
 * "and a silver disc of recordings selling over 250,000 units." I feel "of" would be better as "to", like you have for gold discs, or perhaps "for" if you want something different.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 02:35, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Done them. Thanks for catching those. Rambo's Revenge (talk)</b>  22:42, 5 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * "Mirror had stopped compiling their own and had begun publishing Record Retailer's charts in March 1962" - does this mean Record Mirror published their own, different, EP charts at some point? If so, what makes the ones shown here "official" and the RM ones not so.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:12, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Nope just an unclear statement. It was referring to the fact that RM used to publish singles & albums charts, then stopped them and began publishing RR's. I've made this explicit now. Hopefully it's okay. Good catch though, <b style="color:#E32636;">Rambo's Revenge</b> <b style="color:#FFA500;">(talk)</b>  16:56, 9 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Support - all looks good as far as I can see....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:11, 10 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Support The Rambling Man (talk) 16:03, 16 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Support No major issues, but perhaps the dab is unneeded, as no other country has had a EP chart? Suggest move to List of number-one EPs. Also the link of Highlights from South Pacific to South Pacific (film) is a bit confusing, as there is no mention of Highlights from South Pacific. Adabow (talk · contribs) 09:01, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Not sure about that. There might not be a well publicised EP chart outside the UK but just a quick google search turned up this Billboard article from October 1957 mentions a Billboard weekly listing of the top 10 selling EPs and refers to it as "the new EP chart". Just because a Wikipedia article doesn't exist doesn't mean it didn't happen. There weren't any lists documenting the UKs most followed charts in the 60s until I made them. <b style="color:#E32636;">Rambo's Revenge</b> <b style="color:#FFA500;">(talk)</b>  12:32, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, and despite my seeming rant above I do appreciate your comments and support. I'll get onto the South Pacific thing some time soon. <b style="color:#E32636;">Rambo's Revenge</b> <b style="color:#FFA500;">(talk)</b>  12:33, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
