Chart numbers should not be written out

[edit]

Good job to everyone involved in getting the article to GA, though I did want to request one change due to its awkwardness. I read in the GA review how numbers should be spelled out, etc etc, and I wanted to make it clear that, according to our MOS (in fact, many published manuals), numbers 9 and under should be shown as numbers (see WP:ORDINAL) and 10 and above are spelled out. However, when talking about chart positions, and in accordance with MOS:HASH, it's quite normal, and far less "strange looking" to list songs by "No.", instead of writing out "number". Most chart positions on outside websites are shown as, say, #1 or #2. On Wikipedia, this would translate to No. 1 or No. 2. "Number one" and "number two" is very difficult for a reader to translate as a chart position; someone skimming the lead/article who is interested in chart figures would miss these spelled-out numbers entirely. Now, instead of being bold and simply changing this, perhaps this is something that requires consensus, simply because the article has now seen three formats: #1, No. 1, and number one. Because we're dealing with guidelines (not rules), it's therefore up to discussion as to which format would be more preferred. – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 05:29, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I personally prefer the "No. 1" format myself because like you said it makes it easier to read but I wasn't sure because another editor who reviews GA articles changed half of them to "number one" so I did the rest for the sake of consistency. I'm fine with either depending on what the consensus is. Hassan514 (talk) 10:11, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The style for old style reviewers are to spell. everything out regardless of the MOS:HASH. It was done this way because many readers could not understand the simplicity of No.1. As I explained in my review; I didn't think it would be enough to fail the article, but my personal taste when reviewing said article is to see it spelled out. You will find a great number of the reviewers will move to that same frame of mind. Changing it to the No.1 will not change the articles status so it is fine to go to that mode.

[edit]

Hi, I'm an associate of Nadia Ali's general manager. Is there anything that we can do to have her current info box picture replaced with a more current one?
