Hello,


 * Lead
 * Link studio album
 * Delink recording artist
 * Don't use the word "album" more than once in a single sentence try to mix it up (recording, it, Diva, etc.)
 * Remove the word "both" in the sentence about the albums being commercially unsuccessful.
 * "Latin hip hop artist including Mexicano 777, Bimbo and K-7," - needs to be "artists"
 * Merge the next sentence with the above one mentioned.
 * What do you mean by "familiar subjects"?
 * Remove the word "all" in the singles sentence.
 * All numbers less than 10 needs to be in numerical and not spelled out per WP:ORDINAL.
 * "This made the album the eight best-selling Tropical Album of 2004 and Queen the eighth best-selling Tropical Artist of 2004" - change it to "Diva became the eight best-selling Tropical Album of 2004, while the recording helped Queen to become the eight best-selling Tropical Artist of that year."
 * Use past-tense tone in the last sentence
 * Done. —  Diva    Knockouts   01:57, 26 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Background
 * Remove "Queen" in the first sentence and replace it with "she".
 * That sentence is missing another comma
 * Though the moderate hit, "In The Zone" with Wyclef Jean was able to chart in the United States, the unsuccessful second single "Ritmo Latino" and the album The Original Rude Girl were not and were overlooked and soon forgotten. change to The single, "In The Zone", a duet with Haitian singer Wyclef Jean, was a moderate success in the United States. The following single "Ritmo Latino" and its parent album, were overlooked by consumers and failed to chart.
 * The "important reggaetón television show"?
 * Shows must be in italics.
 * Mun2 needs to be capitalized
 * Done. —  Diva    Knockouts   01:57, 26 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Recording
 * "Production of the album was" - change it to "were"
 * Longtime collaborator DJ Nelson, who produced all the tracks on her first two albums, only produces one track, "Quiero Saber". change to Queen's principal songwriter for her previous albums, DJ Nelson, produced the track "Quiero Saber".
 * Use past-tense tone please (produced)
 * "which also features Japanese" - the language?
 * This sections needs more sourcing.
 * Done. —  Diva    Knockouts   01:57, 26 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Release
 * Too many sentences start or use the word "album" - needs a variety.
 * The second sentence needs rewording
 * No need for quotations when mentioned the tour
 * Queen performed on the "Reggaeton Tour 2004" in various South American countries including Ecuador where she performed songs such as "Papi Te Quiero" and "Tu No Puedes" in promotion of the album. change to Queen embarked on a worldwide tour Reggaeton Tour 2004 in support for Diva.

 * "The introduction to the album " change to "The introductory of the album,"
 * Use quotations for "queen".
 * Why link Gran Omar in this section and not when he is first mentioned? Also "then-husband" is no longer needed in subsequent sentences, we now know who he is or was.

 * "with the guy you like" don't refer lyrics to self and instead write it in third-person.
 * "named one of the album's biggest hits" is missing a word
 * It's reggae not Reggae

 * Done. —  Diva    Knockouts   01:57, 26 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Chart performance

 * What's up . I will continue my review tomorrow, please make sure there are no deadlinks and disambig links. I will re-read the article tomorrow just to make sure I did not miss anything and will conduct the sourcing part of this review. Also, the samples could do better using this template version. Best, Jona  talk to me  02:11, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * All done! :) I've fixed the one disambig link. Also, the ten dead links are . Billboard's new layout does not support some chart positions for this album including the Reggae Albums chart, the Heatseekers chart, and the Tropical Albums chart, so I had to use these. This also occurs for charts for "Quiero Bailar". —  Diva    Knockouts   13:32, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
