Talk:Juanes/GA1

GA Reassessment
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.'' As part of WikiProject Good articles' Project quality task force ("GA Sweeps"), all old good articles are being re-reviewed to ensure that they meet current good article criteria (as detailed at WP:WIAGA.) I have determined that this article needs some work to meet current criteria, outlined below: I am putting the article on hold for one week, longer if significant progress is made on the above. Keep me appraised of progress on this page. Thanks, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 21:05, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * There are multiple unsourced statements. There are a bunch of cn tags in the lead, and looking at the body I don't see where that information is mirrored. Ex:
 * "Juanes can be said to be a Colombian fusion musician because of the combination of Colombian rhythms such as cumbia and vallenato with rock and pop." (vallenato is not used anywhere in the article as a description of his style).
 * "Juanes was a member of heavy metal band Ekhymosis but disbanded the group in 1998 to move to Los Angeles and pursue a solo career." (Los Angeles is never mentioned in the article body.)
 * "In 2006, he recorded a duet of "The Shadow of Your Smile" with Tony Bennett for Bennett's Duets: an American Classic."
 * "In May 2007, People en español reported that Juanes had separated from Martínez, however, the pair never officially reported their split. Reporters started to link him with various Colombian celebrities, but all of their claims seemed poorly based, and lacked evidence. A scandal occurred when it was made public that Juanes had had an affair, which he was forced to break off and publicly apologize for. Martínez and he announced their divorce following this event. In September 2007, Juanes began promoting his new album with Martínez at his side and referred to the split as a "rough patch", the type that every couple goes through, but assured that they are still together.", entirely unsourced, possible BLP issue (I've gone ahead and removed it until a source can be found.)
 * ""La vida... es un ratico" was released on Oct 23, 2007 with the first single being "Me Enamora" (it makes me fall in love). The second single was "Gotas de Agua Dulce" (drops of sweet water), and the third single became the vallenato fusion of "Tres" (three)."
 * "In November 24, 2008, Juanes re-released the album as "La Vida Es Un Ratico En Vivo [Deluxe Edition][2 CD/DVD Combo]" The album aside the 14 original songs, contains two previously unreleased songs: "Falsas Palabras" (false words) and "Odio por amor" (hate for love) which is also the current single. This new re-edition also includes seven live versions of songs played during his U.S. La Vida Tour. As another bonus added, Juanes also included a duet of his song "Hoy Me Voy" (today I leave) with US singer Colbie Caillat. The DVD contains the music videos of the four singles of the cd as well as a few live video recordings of the US tour."
 * There's more throughout, that's just through "2002–present: Mainstream popularity".
 * There's no information about his early/nonprofessional life. We get a few scraps of information at the end of the article, but as structured they aren't that much use there, especially considering the wife and kids are mentioned earlier. I would take some of the info here and use it as part of an Early life section, then incorporate the rest where appropriate.
 * "2009 Peace Concert in Cuba" subsection seems a tad heavily weighted, seeing as it's roughly as long as half his biography section earlier. Seeing as there's a main article anyhow, this should be summarized.
 * What makes VOY Music, canales.diariovasco.com, and Eskpe reliable sources? Also, all refs need to be consistently and fully formatted with all relevant information (author, accessdate, publisher, etc.) in the footnotes.
 * A paragraph requires at least three sentences; all the one or two-sentence groupings need to be cut, merged together, or expanded.
 * Images/Non-free content: Considering we have so many other free images of the artist, how does File:JuanesEuropeanParliament.jpg meet WP:NFCC? Likewise, none of the songs sampled (File:NadaValgoSinTuAmor.ogg, File:LaCamisaNegra.ogg, File:ADiosLePido.ogg, File:Fotografia.ogg) seem to have the amount of critical commentary in the article needed to justify their inclusion.
 * As no progress has been made in the time alotted, I am delisting the article. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 19:42, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

also frontera means borders not frontiers in the sense it used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.210.47.74 (talk) 05:10, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
