[edit]Hi Ceescamel. You wrote the following on my talk page:
I Love to Love (But My Baby Loves to Dance)
Hello, from the Dutch Wikipedia. You just added the Canadian chartpeak in I Love to Love (But My Baby Loves to Dance). However, it conflicts with the text. The text names position 17 as the peak, the frame says 14. Looking at the RPM it never reached the top 50 (no 64 I think was the highest position overthere). Will you look again and change it? Thank you,Ceescamel (talk) 13:59, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
According to the reference work I am using, Top 40 Hits: The Essential Chart Guide, 1975 to the Present by Nanda Lwin, there were two hits by Tina Charles that made the Canadian charts (when she was a solo act)-- "I Love to Love" made it to #14 and was on the chart for 18 weeks, peaking on September 11, 1976 (p. 63). The other was "Dance Little Lady Dance," peaking at #26 on February 12, 1977, after 8 weeks (p. 63).
Lwin says that he used the Steede Report for 1975-1977 to prepare part of his book. This was a radio business magazine provided airplay charts, and "the magazine's main pop singles chart configured from Contemporary Hit Radio station playlists was used in writing this book" (p. 11).
I can provide scans of the pages in question in necessary. I feel I've provided the research to make this claim in the table, but there may be other sources of information out there that I'm not aware of that may make different claims.
A case in point: It is noted in the table that "I Love to Love" made it to #2 on the Billboard U.S. Disco Singles chart. However, if you consult the book, Billboard's Hot Dance/Disco 1974-2003, the only entry for Tina Charles is "You Set My Heart on Fire," which peaked at #3 on September 27, 1975 (p. 55). According to this book, the information is gathered from the "Disco File Top 20" published between March 29, 1975, and August 21, 1976, in Record World magazine. As the author, Joel Whitburn, notes "During this time [March 29, 1975 to August 21, 1976], Billboard did not compile a national disco chart, but instead listed two to three regional charts each week compiled from varying metropolitan cities" (p. 7). The first Billboard "National Disco Action Top 30" chart was not published until August 28, 1976 (p. 7).
Sorry for the long-windedness but my point is that there may be competing sources for information for both the U.S. and Canadian charts. In the U.S. alone, the magazines Billboard, Cashbox, and Record World tracked airplay and music sales in the 1970s. Thus I am wondering if it's not the same for the Canadian charts.
It should be noted that the claim in the text about the peak position for the song and the Juno Award win does not cite any sources. I have a book that lists Juno Award winners (Music From Far and Wide: Celebrating 40 Years of the Juno Awards, published in 2010), and it does not list a win for Tina Charles in 1975, 1976, or 1977.
If you still want to remove the information in the table, that is fine, but I feel I've provided sufficient documentation to make the claim.
I hope that helps.

Oh, it helps. In the Nederlands we also have two charts, as in Belgium. However, in the text it is mentioned it peaked at 17, in the Chartstable it came to 14. 14 is mentioned by Lwin, but where does number 17 (National Charts) comes from? I looked at RPM (don't ask where on the internet) and found no top50-position at all. I just was curious.Ceescamel (talk) 09:29, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
Let me do some more digging! I did find on the Juno Awards site that "I Love to Love" won Best Selling International Single in 1977, a fact I will cite shortly. So there must be more information out there on the record's success in Canada. Stay tuned . . . MontagsOnFire (talk) 17:59, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, thanks for the notice. I did write this article but have no particular knowledge about him; it was largely copied from the 1900 Grove article. I think you're right, based on the birth certificate, so I changed the text, and explained the discrepancy with the main source in a footnote. Feel free to correct anything else directly in the article; just give your sources to justify the changes. Rigadoun (talk) 15:07, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
