I have compared this article to its equivalent singles list, and I hope that this is of a similar quality. I feel that this list meets the FL criteria, and I welcome any comments about how it could be improved. Thanks very much! A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 12:43, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment shouldn't the albums be in the first column and the artist in the second? It is a list about albums after all. Matthewedwards : Chat 15:28, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Having the artist first and then the album/single next seems to be common practice both on Wikipedia (e.g. here, here or here) and off (e.g. here, here or here). A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 19:04, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- I think this article is suffering from a case of Overlinking. Do we really need repeated links to the same article? Should only be linked the first time.
- Just a note, over linking does not apply in sortable where every instance is linked. cheers NapHit (talk) 17:03, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately, this article suffers from the same problem I found on the 1970s article - all the dates are inconsistant with the references given. To come up with your own system of dating is major WP:OR across the whole article. To ignore the information in the references given would prevent this from ever passing.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 03:53, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I echo this sentiment, after looking at this ref the first two dates are not what is in the table. NapHit (talk) 17:08, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This seems to be one of those issues where there doesn't yet seem to be any clear consensus either way. My reasoning for using the dates that the albums that they reached number one, rather than the week-ending dates given by the OCC, is as follows:
- It's more intuitive for the reader. We've had a several comments left on the talk page of the 2010s singles article from confused readers not understanding why entries aren't listed by the date that they first topped the chart. I believe that the main reason why someone might view this Wikipedia page is to learn which album was number one on a specific date in the 1990s. At the moment, they would simply need to find whichever album was number one either on or immediately before the date in question – asking them to first add on six days makes it far more prone to errors, particularly for albums that were at the top for more than one week.
- I don't feel that it's necessarily original research. I can find a few reliable sources that talk about singles/albums reaching number one on the Sunday, rather than the following Saturday (e.g. BBC News; The Independent; STV; Newsbeat).
- I don't think it's any less verifiable either – all the dates can be taken from the OCC site (although obviously the article would need a note to mention that the dates that they list are six days after the dates that the albums reached number one). Also, searching on the OCC's search facility for, say, the number ones on 21 January 1990 shows that the Colours by The Christians was number one, rather than ...But Seriously by Phil Collins. This method continues throughout the decade.
- Sorry if I'm missing something obvious here but that links says 27th January 1990 not 21 January 1990. NapHit (talk) 12:16, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, but the URL states "1990/1/21". So if you search for 21st January 1990, those are the number ones that comes up. This is my reasoning, at least. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 21:57, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry if I'm missing something obvious here but that links says 27th January 1990 not 21 January 1990. NapHit (talk) 12:16, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- While listing by the week-ending date may be the "official" way of charting British number ones, my understanding is that Wikipedia does not necessarily use official names and methods. For example, Flea's official name is Michael Balzary, but he's referred to as Flea throughout his article, as that is more intuitive for the reader. I applied the same reasoning for this list.
- It's also how other articles have listed number ones (e.g. the list of 1990s UK Singles Chart number ones, and the list of 2000s UK Albums Chart number ones). Obviously I'm aware that "Other stuff exists" isn't necessarily a valid argument for inclusion, but both lists have gone through a significant community review, so I assumed that it would be okay to repeat the practice here.
Using the Sunday dates for 1970s albums wouldn't be appropriate, as each week's number one was first revealed on Tuesday (I've actually been meaning to change the 1970s dates; I just haven't got round to it yet). But I feel that, for the 1990s albums, when the weekly chart show was broadcast on Sundays, it would make sense to list them by the date that they reached number one, rather than the week-ending date, for the reasons that I've given above. Now, if I'm wrong about any of this or if anyone disagrees, I'm willing to change the dates. I just wanted to explain the logic behind why I've listed the dates in this way. Thanks very much, A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 22:26, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I appreciate you taking the time to explain the issue, but the problem at the moment is that to the average reader and reviewer the table appears incorrect. This is especially so when note a states: "The artist, album, date of reaching number one and number of weeks at number one are those given by the OCC." yet the dates in the table do not match the references. You could add a note stating the discrepancy, but the problem would still be there a vast section of the table would not be referenced. I think that would stray a little too close to original research to me. I think you should use the dates given by the OCC, as that is the primary source for the tables, unless there is another reliable source which gives the dates from sunday then I think you should use the OCC's method. NapHit (talk) 12:16, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, I'll make the change. Bear with me though, as there are nearly 300 entries to get through, so this could take quite a while. On a semi-related note, is there nothing to be said for having some way of visually separating out each year in the table? If not repeating the headers, then maybe having 10 rows that span all seven columns and indicate where each new year begins? At the moment the list looks to me like a huge, unwieldy table, rather like a page of text that contains no paragraph breaks. Just a thought. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 21:57, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Have now made the changes. Didn't take too long after all... A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 18:04, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because it incorporates all of the comments from the six previously FL promoted SEC coaches' lists (Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Arkansas, LSU and Vanderbilt). Hopefully this will get through with minimal issues, but as always am grateful for any comments to make this list even better. Thanks again to all who take the time to look at this!

CommentSupport –"Four of those coaches also won conference championships". The first coach mentioned after this is Herman Stegeman, who didn't lead a team to a bowl game.

- Support A nice article overall. Although I am supporting the article, could you link to our article on Winning percentage in the lead? I know you already do in the Key, but given the fact that "winning percentage" is a misnomer, I think for laypersons a link would be best in both places. Also, the table is a little wide in my opinion, and will require a horizontal scroll bar on some screens, but again this isn't enough for me to withhold support. Well done.
