I will review this since it is the oldest unreviewed songs GAN and I was the reviewer the first time; I do regret somewhat how specific I was during GA reviews back then. --K. Peake 15:22, 5 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Infobox and lead

edit
  • Why is "Amor" listed before "Por Arriba, Por Abajo" under B-sides in the infobox when the track listing has the opposite order?
  • "The song is a dance track, with Latin music influences, while the lyrics" → "A dance track with Latin music influences, its lyrics" but should salsa be mentioned here too?

  • "It received widely positive reviews" → "The song received widely positive reviews"
  • The word Grammy is not needed before nomination when the awards show is mentioned that same sentence
  • "The song was" → "The former was" to avoid confusion with "Livin' la Vida Loca"
  • "United Kingdom, and" → "the United Kingdom, and"
  • "was also recorded under" → "was recorded under"
  • It needs to be sourced directly in the body that the Spanish language version was the one that charted on the Hot Latin Songs chart, as the article itself says of the song's era "Songs on the chart were not necessarily in Spanish language"
  • You should mention at least one of the live performances directly before the video info, plus use "the original version" here

  • "the song "glamorous"" → "the song "clamorous"" per the source

  • "Orlando Sentinel's Jim Abbott" → "the Orlando Sentinel's Jim Abbott"
  • ""bon-bon shakers"" → ""'bon-bon' shakers"." per the source and add a pipe to the song article instead, as the reference is not directly mentioning but it seems they alluding to it

Charts

edit

Weekly charts

edit

Year-end charts

edit
  • Good

Certifications

edit
  • Good

References

edit
  • Copyvio score looks decent at 32.0%
  • Make sure all of these are archived by using the tool
  • Ref 1 needs to cite the original URL too
  • Ditto for ref 2, plus the archive does not seem to work for me
  • Pipe Billboard to Billboard (magazine) and Nielsen Business Media to Nielsen Holdings on ref 4
  • Remove pipe on Billboard for ref 6
  • Middle names should be cited directly after the first ones for refs 15 and 19
  • Change MTV to MTV News on ref 20, citing as publisher instead
  • WP:OVERLINK of Nielsen Business Media on ref 44
  • If ref 52 is a dead link then it can be kept per the GA guidelines, but is this really the case or is it the wrong URL? Also, remove the publisher.
  • Pipe Terra Networks to Terra (company) on ref 53
  • Remove or replace ref 56 per WP:RSP
  • Ref 57 and ref 51 are duplicates
  • WP:OVERLINK of Univision on ref 61
  • Wikilink Daily Mirror on ref 64
  • Ref 70 should be dated in 2008 not 2006
  • WP:OVERLINK of Entertainment Weekly on ref 72
  • Remove or replace ref 79 since it is unreliable, as looking at the URL cited from 2004 and scrolling through the homepage of current articles shows literally the same author for all of them, plus this looks like a gossip site
  • Remove ref 111 since AllMusic is not reliable for peaks
  • Pipe Fundación Autor-SGAE to Sociedad General de Autores y Editores on ref 116, unless that is not the correct article
edit
  • Good

Final comments and verdict

edit
  • آرمین هویدایی ✓ Pass now, I did make a fix where you had not listed the full stage name for the second mention of one of the songwriters. It is a great contrast for me to have gone from the failure of the first review to this one's pass; I'm sure the original nominators will be so proud of you and me somewhat too!!! --K.
