 * General overview
 * Disambiguation links: Not present.
 * Checklinks: Nothing to be corrected.
 * Original research: Latin pop and world music should be removed from infobox, as that information is not supported in the body of the article itself.
 * Removed. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:24, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

0. Lead and infobox
 * In depth
 * Lead → Second paragraph → Include just some words about Shakira's overly sexual performance being criticized.
 * Added. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:24, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Infobox → Please remove the second date and from the first date, exclude "(Worldwide)". It's not necessary.
 * Removed. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:24, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

1. Background and release
 * "The formats included the full performances of 22 songs, and buyers with an all-access pass were able to view behind-the-scenes documentary footage of the shows." → "The formats included the full performances of 22 songs, along with behind-the-scenes documentary footage of the shows.". I'm asking you to modify this because I went to the archive URL and the "all-access pass" is just the footage, not a real pass, and the sentence may lead some readers to believe it is.
 * Modified. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:24, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
 * "on December 6, 2011" → "on the following day"
 * Changed. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:24, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

2. Critical reception
 * The ratings are a bit misleading, aren't they? The Allmusic writer actually praises the set but gives it 3 stars... anyway, by what the reviews say, we can consider them mostly positive, though by the scores it should appear as mixed. I don't know what to say on this one. I guess you should change to "mixed to positive"... I really don't know.
 * That is why I kept it to generally favourable, and actually only the EW review is mixed. Otherwise, there's mostly positive stuff. I must agree that the ratings are misleading. But considering this, the Allmusic rating is 60/100 and About.com rating is 90/100 which does seem to side towards positive. But I didn't keep it "positive reviews" to keep in mind the EW review and made it "generally favourable." --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:24, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
 * You could merge this section with Commercial performance, give them level 3 headers (Critical reaction / Commercial performance) and put them under a level 2 'Reception'. I think it would look better. It's up to you, really.
 * That's a nice suggestion! --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:24, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

6. Charts
 * Merge with certifications... (I know I say this in every GA review, haha)
 * I beg to differ here. Actually Live from Paris has certifications different for Album and DVD, and that will look excessively cluttered in the column two of charts. Moreover, it is not necessary for charts and certifications to be in the same section. I did that for the songs because they were only a few. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:24, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

I absolutely loved to read this article. I was actually hoping to buy this some years ago but I bought Sale el Sol instead. Anyway, just correct those errors and I'll pass it. Prism  △  20:47, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
