== Lowercasing sought for [[Talk:UK Singles Chart#Requested move 12 March 2024]] ==
== User script to detect unreliable sources ==
All of the UK Singles Chart articles have been nominated to be titled in lowercase (UK singles chart) in an RM which may be of interest to this WikiProject. [[User:Randy Kryn|Randy Kryn]] ([[User talk:Randy Kryn|talk]]) 14:39, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

{{Main|User:Headbomb/unreliable}}
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to [[WP:URS|unreliable sources]] and [[predatory journal]]s. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Most imported scripts|39th most imported script on Wikipedia]]. The idea is that it takes something like
*John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14. (<code><nowiki>John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.</nowiki></code>)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "{{highlight|[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]|pink}}" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{tl|cite web}}, {{tl|cite journal}} and {{tl|doi}}.

The script is mostly based on [[WP:RSPSOURCES]], [[WP:NPPSG]] and [[WP:CITEWATCH]] and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is '''not a script to be mindlessly used''', and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at [[User:Headbomb/unreliable]]. Questions, comments and requests can be made at [[User talk:Headbomb/unreliable]].

== UK sheet music charts ==

I've added this to [[Wikipedia:Requested articles/music|WP:Requested articles/music/Media]], but I thought I'd post it here too, in the hope someone might be interested:

[[UK sheet music charts]] (Charts based on sales of sheet music for popular songs were published in the UK from the 1930s to the 1960s - prior to 1952, they were the only regular music charts in the UK, published in ''[[Melody Maker]]'' and the ''[[NME|New Musical Express]]'', also broadcast on ''[[Radio Luxembourg]]'') <ref>{{cite book |last1=Henson |first1=Brian |title=First hits, 1946-1959 |last2=Morgan |first2=Colin |date=1989 |publisher=Boxtree |isbn=9781852832681 |location=London}}</ref> <ref>{{cite book |title=The Virgin book of Top 40 charts. |date=2009 |publisher=Virgin |isbn=9780753522004 |location=London}}</ref> <ref>{{cite book |last1=Street |first1=Sean |title=The A to Z of British Radio |date=2009 |publisher=Scarecrow Press |isbn=9780810870130 |location=Lanham, Md.}}</ref> [https://www.onlineweb.com/theones/index.htm] [https://books.google.co.uk/books/serial/ISSN:00062510?rview=0 Billboard magazine] issues which include these charts are also available to view for free.

I have the book ''First Hits'', and I'm happy to supply information from it. I'd be willing to look at a published article on this subject and work on it. [[User:TrottieTrue|TrottieTrue]] ([[User talk:TrottieTrue|talk]]) 15:01, 8 August 2022 (UTC)


== Requested move at [[Talk:Billboard Malaysia Songs#Requested move 7 December 2024]] ==
== Album-equivalent units usage ==
[[File:Information.svg|30px|left]] There is a requested move discussion at [[Talk:Billboard Malaysia Songs#Requested move 7 December 2024]] that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. [[User:Feeglgeef|Feeglgeef]] ([[User talk:Feeglgeef|talk]]) 05:42, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
As far I remember, there is a ''de facto'' step to avoid album-equivalent units sales below summaries of certifications and also in albums/singles discography. I've seen in the past a problem with a few albums like one from Rihanna, but user {{ping|Tomica}} reverted it: [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Rihanna_albums_discography&diff=1132784420&oldid=1132779413 Rihanna albums discography (for Anti)], and the main article for [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Anti_(album)&diff=next&oldid=1132777431 the album]. User did not even used an edit summary, or used the talk page. I don't want to enter into an edit war. Just wondering, what's the proceed? --[[User:Apoxyomenus|Apoxyomenus]] ([[User talk:Apoxyomenus|talk]]) 15:45, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.
