My first review for any of you in quite some time; this will start today! --K. Peake 08:32, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead[edit]

  • Cover art caption is not appropriate, as the US release is not called a maxi single anywhere
  • Wikilink as samba
  • Use bullet points instead for labels per Template:Infobox song
  • Wikilink as Draco Rosa
  • Shouldn't you write English title as "the Bomb" per the body's stylization?
  • Wikilink as Draco Rosa
  • "was handled by Porter and Rosa." → "was handled by the latter two." plus this needs to be written out in the body
  • Wikilink as samba
  • "the music which makes" → "the music that makes"
  • Remove comma after rhythm of the dance
  • "its danceable rhythm and was highlighted as" → "the danceable rhythm and highlighted it as"
  • Pipe Premios Eres to Revista ERES
  • "It depicts Martin" → "It shows Martin" to be less repetitive
  • "The track was included on" → "The song was included on" and add at the end of the sentence, "while he also performed it..." mentioning other notable performance(s)

Background and composition[edit]

  • It is fine mentioning the chorus without a source on the audio sample text, but you need to source a melody of the song in prose
  • Remove comma after third studio album
  • "his record label executives" → "the executives at his record label" then writing the name of his label
  • If not every country in South America has a record chart, then write "all South American countries with record charts" instead
  • This is a sufficient replacement --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "had sold over" → "has sold over"
  • The first three sentences of the second paragraph should be merged with the above one per them being background
  • Should it be "was" or "is" going before the quote, as maybe the tense should be consistent?
  • "The album consisting mainly" → "The album consists mainly"
  • Wikilink Spanish language
  • Wikilink as samba
  • "the Dallas Morning News editor Mario Tarradell also echoed." → "The Dallas Morning News editor Mario Tarradell echoed."
  • Shouldn't the writing sentence also mention production credits?
  • [17] should be solely at the end of the translated title sentence instead
  • Pipe to Bomba (Puerto Rico) should only be on "of the same name"
  • The piano part is to do with the music, so should come directly before the writing sentence

Release and promotion[edit]

  • Img looks good!
  • "was released as" → "was released on CD as" with the pipe
  • "fourth studio album, Vuelve, released February" → "fourth studio album Vuelve on February"
  • "was released in the United States, by" → "was released in the US by" per MOS:US
  • "The music video was filmed in April 1998" → "The song's music video was filmed during April 1998" with the wikilink
  • "The visual, also includes a" → "At the beginning of the visual, he appears in a"
  • "It was later included" → "The clip was later included"
  • Wikilink compilation albums
  • Remove the view count since YouTube is constantly updating; you need a source writing it out for verification

Critical reception[edit]

  • Newsday review should be in the same sentence as Los 40, using the connective while
  • "the album's highlights as did the" → "the album's highlights, as did"
  • You do not need to write the before Newsday critic
  • "citing the song's lyrics to" → "citing how the song's lyrics"
  • "the time, when drinks" → "the time when drinks"
  • "saying like it is suggested by the song's title, the track is," → "saying like the title suggests, it is,"
  • "acknowledged it as one" → "acknowledged the song as one"
  • "from Los Angeles Times described the song as" → "from the Los Angeles Times described it as"

Accolades[edit]

  • "on the list of" → "on a list of"
  • "listed it among" → "listed the track among"
  • Shouldn't you write Premios Eres? Either way, pipe to Revista ERES.
  • I did not look into that so thanks for letting me know, also good job on solely implementing the second suggestion here. --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Commercial performance[edit]

  • "Central American countries including" → "Central American countries, including"
  • "it peaked at numbers" → "the song peaked at numbers"
  • Does [47] back up all of that sentence and the previous one?
  • Pipe on Spanish-speaking countries is not necessary here, as this text is about countries that don't speak it

Live performances and appearances in media[edit]

  • Img looks good!
  • The source does not mention the Vuelve Tour, plus should this really be surrounded by speech marks?
  • The list of tours is a bit excess for ones following "including"; maybe find a source stating that he performed it on all of his tours and then add notable ones after including?
    Unfortunately, I couldn't find a specific source citing that.آرمین هویدایی (talk) 12:12, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Good on you to maintain intergrity and not add OR; this reads smoothly without the usage of "including" now! --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "as part of his" → "as part of Martin's"
  • Change Miami, Florida to Miami with no wikilink
  • The source does not mention the tour being used for promotion of MTV Unplugged
  • "danced to it on" → "did the same on"
  • Add the release years of the songs in brackets
  • ""Livin' la Vida Loca, to" → ""Livin' la Vida Loca" to"

Formats and track listings[edit]

  • No Australian CD or European 12-inch singles are sourced
  • Oh thanks, I must have missed that --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kyle Peake: Thank you so much for devoting your time on it. It is always an honor for me to have my nominated-articles reviewed by you. I fixed all the issues, I hope I haven't missed anything. If I had, please tell me to fix it. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 12:32, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@آرمین هویدایی: ✓ Pass now, that was quick and you provided proper reasons not to implement certain changes; congratulations to both you and Magiciandude on getting this into GA status! --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
