I notice that "in April 1969" has been replaced with "by April 1969". I know I made the original proclamation, which was so long ago, I cannot remember my exact research. Please could someone clarify if I was mistaken with this, otherwise I feel that the way I wrote it would be more informative to the reader.
I am aware whilst making this comment, that the editor of the text has evidently researched the song, so I do not profess to know best on this matter.

With the benefit of hindsight, my alteration was presumptuous. However, I can not prove that the single was number one in all those countries, exactly within the month of April 1969. Possibly, "by" that date is more realistic ?! It appears that more consensual research is needed perhaps, my friend ?

The article says this was the first international hit by a Jamaican artist. That's clearly not true, since it wasn't even the first international hit for Dekker himself. And Millie's "My Boy Lollipop" comfortably predates Dekker's success anyway. --88.109.204.193 22:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
