Suggestion for feature

The President

As an ardent wikipedian, I would find a very helpful feature, which would help in research (of notability), a references to "top-20" (etc.) lists of games in the various mags currently arcived at WoS. Would this be possible to add to Infoseek? I could probably assist....

Top 20 of what ?.

WhizzBang

Games, presumably.

Each week?, Ever?, Each Year?, By type?........

You cant do it by week (WOS doesn't have all the weekly mags yet) and the various monthly charts depend on which mag you read. Most of the other sorts of "Top X" are subjective so not really much use.

Done, at least partially. I can trivially give you the data that's powering that if you're interested (a significant chunk of it screenscraped from YSRnRY, so credit should be given to Nick).

Smashing! Please do. Not sure if time permits in the short term, but this is definitely something I can assist with in the future. I'd also like to suggest an improvement:

Say you have:
http://www.shadowmagic.org.uk/cgi-bin/spectrum/charts.pl?id=0000407

It would be very helpful with links to the source reference. So for the "1987-09 Your Sinclair Combined Chart 4" entry there would be a link to http://www.worldofspectrum.org/showmag.cgi?mag=YourSinclair/Issue21/Pages/YourSinclair2100034.jpg

It would also be nice to have it in the regular Inforseek, so that it would be listed under the Magazine references (as Chart) for the title http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0000405
