Cowpuncher's Cantata[edit]
( )
... that Cowpuncher's Cantata was the only record by a British artist to appear in the first UK Singles Chart?
5x expanded by Launchballer (talk). Self nominated at 21:40, 14 September 2014 (UTC).
I tried to independently verify the hook fact and it is false. According to this article, British artist Vera Lynn had three songs in the first UK Singles Chart. Fryede (talk) 02:27, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
- Note: I have replaced the reviewer's {{subst:DYKno}} with {{subst:DYK?no}} to clarify that the nomination has not been completely rejected. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 19:49, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
- Noted, strange user of unknown identity. I'm going out into Sutton High Street anyway over the next couple of days so I'll try and find the offending book - Google Books offers no preview - because it definitely states it and Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth. In the meantime - please learn that
is for articles that have no hope in hell of making the front page, not hooks!--Launchballer 22:03, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry - that's not really explained anywhere in any of the documentation. I made my best guess as to which one to use. :) Fryede (talk) 02:27, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
- This is my interpretation of when to use each symbol. I just double checked the source - actually says "British male vocalist".--Launchballer 22:16, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
- So adding "male" to the hook should fix the problem. Fryede (talk) 21:26, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

- As far as I can tell, all that was reviewed was the hook. Simply looking at the article, all of the online references are bare URLs, which is not allowed at DYK, and there are probably other issues as well, including the fact that the article still claims "British artist" rather than "British male artist", and (to be frank), if the source says vocalist, unless you're sure that there weren't any instrumentals on the chart, "artist" is not supported either. Once these have been addressed, I'll call for a full review. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:07, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- I can advise that while there are no instrumentals on the chart, the source says "British male vocalist". The article was written during a time where WP:REFLINKS was disabled - I'll get on that immediately.--Launchballer 20:49, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- I've changed the bare URLs to proper references, and added an online reference showing that he indeed was the only British male artist in the chart. I think this means everything is fixed, and ALT1 should be good. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 13:31, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
Full review needed now that hook issues and bare URLs have been taken care of. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:35, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
size and expansion ok. material true to sources. I rejigged one bit that was a bit too close to the sourcing. Offline GBWR taken in good faith. good to go. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:23, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
