Comments Looks great overall; I've made a couple of small alterations here. I just have a few fruther comments/suggestions:
- I'm a bit confused by the ((incomplete list)) template at the top of the page – which songs are missing?
- The Indonesian Wikipedia has him singing Titiek Puspa's "Hidupku Untuk Cinta" solo and "Marilah Kemari" with other artists on From Us to U. The album seems to be out of print (been looking for about two years), so I am unable to verify that. As visible from the history, several songs, like "Doa Anak Negeri", were added after a new book came out (minor songs, but still met the inclusion criteria).
- The Collaborators column largely consists of empty cells, whereas almost every entry in the Song column contains two pieces of information: the song's original title and its English translation. I wonder whether it might be worth swapping them around, i.e. have the English translations of song titles in the second column, and the collaborators in a small font underneath the original titles. I feel that a reader is more likely to want to sort the table by English title rather than by collaborator anyway. Obviously this is a major change to the list, so feel free to consider it at your own discretion.
- These are generally not official translations, as many of the songs did not see international release. The translations are only to give readers who don't speak Indonesian a rough idea of what the song was about. Giving it its own column would be undue weight, in my opinion. Also, songs like "Asalkan Pilih Jalan Damai" with six or seven artists would end up very messy.
- Speaking of the Collaborators column, was Chrisye the lead artist on all the songs listed, or for some of them was he a featured artist on someone else's album?
- He was part of a group for "Asalkan Pilih Jalan Damai", "Kidung", and "Kemesraan". I could indicate this with a footnote.
- The second sentence of the first paragraph took me by surprise the first time I read it. I was thinking "Whoa, Lilin-Lilin Kecil was number 13 in what exactly?", and it wasn't until I got to the end of the paragraph that I realised what it was referring to. Looking over it a second time, it of course made a lot more sense, and it reads better as well. But I wonder whether, for the sake of first-time readers, it might be worth moving the parenthetical remark to the end of the sentence.
- "in 1989 and 1989" Is that correct? Or should the first one be 1988?
- &Yep.
- The fourth paragraph repeats the word "songs" a lot. Given the topic of the article, obviously this is to be expected, but I wonder whether it might perhaps be worth varying the prose slightly with some similar words, e.g. "tracks"?

- Thanks for the review! I just wish we had better free pictures of Indonesians... pretty much every field is underrepresented. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:27, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The photograph of Fariz RM is a different width to all the others – using upright rather than 200px on all the images would fix this, and would give extra space on the screen for the columns of the table.
- Removed. For some reason I can't get it to work.
- This is sort of what I was referring to. Revert it if you don't like the change.
- Every cell in the Album(s) column lists just one album, so it might be worth changing it to just Album.
- Were "Kidung" and "Kemesraan" featured on any albums? If not, their Album(s) cells should just say "Single only" for the sake of consistency. Also, what were the groups that released these singles actually called?
- None that I've found thusfar. After Badai Pasti Berlalu he more or less stayed a solo singer. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:01, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Do the two different versions of "Pergilah Kasih" represent two distinctly different recordings, or is one simply an edited version of the other?
- Essentially the same except for the extra instrumentals (recorded at the same time). To be removed? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:01, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll leave it to you – there's doesn't really seem to be any firm consensus either way. If each entry represents a song that Chrisye has recorded, then I personally don't think that things like post-prod edits or remixes need to be included, as the singer himself hasn't actually recorded anything new. However, other editors might argue that, since the extended version of "Pergilah Kasih" was included on the album, it's worth including it on this list too.
- Incidentally, I've got my own FLC: 1990s UK Albums Chart number ones. If you have the time, I welcome any comments on it. Thanks very much! A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 21:13, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Alright, unless there is consensus otherwise I'll keep it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:00, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
