Infobox and lead

 * February 10, 1998 → February 12, 1998, as that is the release date sourced in the body
 * 1997 is not sourced properly as the recording date in the body; you have mentioned him working on it that year but not sourced it finishing the same year
 * various → Various, as the word is starting the parameter
 * Replace hlist with bullet points per Template:Infobox album
 * Remove wikilink on studio album
 * Change release date to February 12 and remove the ref, as that is the actual date and iTunes was not around at the time so is useless here

 * "The album debuted at" → "Vuelve debuted at" to avoid overusing "the album" like you have done a number of times in this para

 * "While on tour," probably would be advisable to mention the year at this point since the recording year is claimed to be 1997
 * "with producers KC Porter and fellow ex-member of Menudo Robi Draco Rosa and" → "with producers Porter and Rosa, and" but in the likelhood of you moving the introduction to Rosa earlier, target Menudo to Menudo (group)

Release

 * The opening sentence of this section should mention the initial release of the album in the US on February 10, 1998, using the ref currently in the lead

 * I was about to check on you today anyway as I had just finished prepping an article for GAN myself, I can see you have started going through already and good luck with the remainder of the article! --K. Peake 15:53, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the lack of response, life got in the way again. Every time I come from work, I end up passing out. I am very committed to finishing this article as I intend to nominate it FA in the near future. This will probably take me a week to finish. Erick (talk) 14:54, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It is fine since articles do not have to only remain onhold for a set amount of time; I remember having the same feeling when editing Wiki after work before covid-19 closed my place, so I totally sympathise! --K. Peake 15:09, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Great to see the level of progress you have been making on this recently; will it be finished this weekend probably? --K. Peake 12:42, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Can't you just run the fix dead links tool or is it not working for you? --K. Peake 07:29, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I had no idea such a tool actually exists! Can you link it so I can use it asap? Archiving all these sources manually gets me burned out pretty quickly. Erick (talk) 14:54, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Click on revision history and select fix dead links. Sorry for the late reply; I did not see your message due to the lack of a mention and I found it after coming here to check on your progress (it has been over a month, hopefully this article will be finished soon). --K. Peake 11:50, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Oh my God you're a lifesaver! I used the tool on this article and the other article that is currently GAR. I addressed some of your comments above. Erick (talk) 01:11, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Very glad to hear that, I guess you can always learn something new no matter how long you have been on the site!!! ✅ time for this article now, as I can see you have implemented most of the changes apart from a few which I copyedited in; took a while but to be fair the article is massive, so nice job! --K.
