Ricky Martin sales
What Forbes can say about worldwide sales?! They don't have how calculate the sales around the world, they understand about money, not record sales. The certifications and official charts are the most reliable criteria to know the success or failure of an album. All important articles about music here in Wikipedia stopped use inflated sales created by fans and used in other websites and base the sales by the certifications and peak positions. For exemple the album Thriller by Michael Jackson, there arr a lot of sites that said that this album sold 100 million copies worldwide, but that's pretty innacurate, you can see in the talk of this album, the consensus to put Thriller as a 60 million copies sold record. Use the talk of the Ricky Martin article, there are a lot of people that agree with me. 88marcus (talk) 08:52, 27 January 2019 (UTC)


 * money is based on sales and actually Forbes doesn't share false data, it is reliable and of course there is sth that they know!! I'm not talking about fans and other websites, I'm talking about a refrence. That is the most important thing! And about the charts and certifications, we do not have any data for many of countries and for many of his newer albums, so when we do not have any data, we use another trustable refrence!! It is clear and doesn't need discussion or examples! آرمین هویدایی (talk) 09:03, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, you're talknig about your opinion. Not everything that appeared in Internet is true. We have to be accurate in his article, there are much more sites that says he sold 70kk records too. The international acts sold most of his records in USA and Europe, and almost all of this countries have an updated data for albums and singles certifications. This is completely nonsense. Most of his albums didn't even sold 1 million copies worldwide and he has 30kk with certified sales (albums+videos+singles). It's the more accurate to put there. As I said, there are plenty of websites that says 70kk too, even the website of his record company Sony Latin. I'll revert your edition soon.--88marcus (talk) 23:46, 29 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Ok, so when the refrences are not the same and we cannot rely on them, some are old, some are inflated, some are incomplete and etc. So we should simply remove this sentence & it's really the best choice that we can have. As there wasn't anything about his sales in his article just until a few weeks ago,it seems that it is not necessary. So I'm going to remove it and we can finish the duscussion. I hope you agree. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 06:58, 1 February 2019 (UTC)


 * You keep saying that the references are too old. The 70 million records sold is already inflated and cover his sales till today. The reference of 70 million records is from 4 years ago. Do you really think that he sold thousands of copies since than, to change his sales to 80 millions or 85 millions?! I'll revert you edition soon. There are many articles from 2018, that say 70 million records worldwide. You seem don't know how charts and sales work. I think you should see sites like Ukmix, and Chartmasters where fans give their datas from reliable sources and don't inflated them.--88marcus (talk) 16:40, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Non-free rationale for File:PedroCapóAlbum.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:PedroCapóAlbum.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Vuelve (album) US sales
The RIAA certifications before February 2016 are based shipments, not sales. The RIAA's definition of "sales" are units sold to retail stores, not consumers, hence the term "shipments". Anything certification after February 2016 are for album-equivalent units Nielsen SoundScan is the company that focuses on actual sales. Do you understand now?

Fuego y Amor moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Fuego y Amor, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. —  Newslinger  talk   04:42, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Ozuna (singer). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Beastranger (talk) 05:45, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.


 * Check article's talk. I've explained about the "awards" part. If you read it, then I will tell about the top of the article. آرمین هویدایی (talk)


 * Thanks for your contribution, please check article's talk again. I explained about the first part of the arricle. If you're ok with that, I will edit it. If no, at least I should make it updated. But really those information should not included there. I will try to find more important things such as his record sales and etc. to make it a better scope. آرمین هویدایی (talk)


 * I see that you split the articles content from the source page to a new page. You have performed a bold split but kindly add Templates to the talk pages of both the pages to indicate the split you have performed to avoid the confusion.

Ricky Martin inflated sales
Hi آرمین هویدایی,

Since last year I tried many times to explain to you that 85 million albums sold for Ricky Martin is completely inflated and you keep including that number in his article again. I don't see other way to solve that besides to communicate an administrator for your disruptive edits, see here:

There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. --88marcus (talk) 03:22, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

I changed for 70 million sold
Ok. I changed for the 70 million sold. I don't understand why you disagree with the 60 million sold and reverted my edition, since you said to Chrisonduras "Ok so let's do that, but please convince Marcus 88. I don't want to discuss anymore and don't want a drama." I thought you agreed with that. And what about the sales of Fiebre did you saw that it was certified platinum (Latin/0,06) as I told you?--88marcus (talk) 22:10, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

First of all thanks... Well I compare him with other latin artists such as Enrique Iglesias. I checked Billboard, and you can see he had 40 million total album sales and 8.8 million albums in the US till 2008: https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1045954/ask-billboard But Ricky had 10.97 album sales in the US in early 2011. https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/473334/ask-billboard-what-the-forget-is-going-on?page=0%2C1 (unfortunately the site has broken now 😐 but I can even send you a screenshot if you want and also can search its phrase: Martin's career US album sales stand at 10,972,000, according to soundscan.) Whatever, I mean his sales at least in the US was more than Enrique Iglesias till 2010. What's happened that he became 100 million records (and you know even his fans tryna tell 180m!) But Ricky is still 60m?!! They were both Latin artists from 90s. Ok Enrique had a better function last decade in total, but the difference is not that much! Probably Enrique's sales are inflated too, but at least achiving 10 million record sales for about 12 years is acceptable. Even for a 90s latin artist. He had sold 60m in last decades. 10 million just for this decade is not too much, I know he's no more as successful as he was in the 90s. But nowadays digital sellings and streams made it easier to sell higher and higher. 10 million records is not much for 2010s decade, even for "a 90s latin artist" Even the song "Livin' la Vida Loca" is still selling a lot and had been in the Latin Pop Digital Song Sales for about 250 weeks. I know they are not too much, but his total career sales in a decade can really be 10 million and I think you can agree with me that it really seems accurate... آرمین هویدایی (talk) 22:44, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

And about Fiebre, it was a million for a few weeks ago that I checked. That's why it was also written in its certifications, but probably RIAA has changed it now. I'm sorry for that, I just said what I remembered from my last visits, but now I checked it and you're right. But even with this situation we both know that Vente Pa' Ca sales are more which is not even certified as Latin Gold for 30k. Less than "No Se Me Quita"? No Se Me Quita didn't even enter the Hot Latin Songs and only peaked 19 on Latin Digital Song Sales Chart for one week. It has a platinum. But Vente Pa' Ca which debuted at No. 1 on Latin Digital Song Sales doesn't even have a gold?! It's obvious that his label didn't pay RIAA. Anyway, I'm going to sleep now. Good night. I'm happy that we arr finally agreed :)♡ آرمین هویدایی (talk) 22:53, 16 February 2020 (UTC)


 * I agree with you, I'm trying to found a source for 60 million claim to Enrique Iglesias but it's not easy to found a new one.

Those are claims of his 40 million sold:
 * The offical website 2008 link
 * Billboard article from 2007: link
 * The independent 2007: link

And his certifications to date around 45 million certified sales: link

As I said I'm trying to found a relieble source for 60 million or even 70 million as long as I get one I'll include in his article.--88marcus (talk) 23:08, 16 February 2020 (UTC)


 * I thought Ricky Martin's sales would be 60 million. The most acceptable range than 50+ or -80/85. Anyway personally I don't will touch that topic and for both 88marcus and آرمین هویدایی about Enrique's sales concern, maybe a Spanish references could help. I found 70 million / + in a range of 2012-2014 sources, or 60 million/+ in a range of 2014-2015 sources. --Chrishonduras (talk) 13:36, 17 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Changed Iglesias sales to 70 million, soon his fans will complain...--88marcus (talk) 21:55, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:No Importa la Distancia.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:No Importa la Distancia.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Recent edit reversion
In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

 * Well I don't understand why it was a violation of copyright policies! There are thousands of articles about music in wikipedia which use Billboard articles for "Background" and "Critics" parts and we cite it as the source. I don't understand what was the problem with my edits that were reverted totally. Both links had problems?! آرمین هویدایی (talk) 12:15, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

(Ricky Martin) and as you said in your previous message, I just re-used that and I also mentioned that in my edit summary...

Your GA nomination of Tiburones
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Tiburones you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

 * It is very good to see a user posting a message like this as soon as the review has been opened by me and yes, issues have been found indeed and the initial ones have been arisen now! You can start addressing them today if you want even though I have only covered a small part of the article; how're things in Iran though? --K. Peake 21:57, 26 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I will start fixing the issues now; Fine, as regular. (:
 * Very good to know I've never been there so was genuinely interested, glad you're progressing and there will be a further comments wave soon! --K. Peake 07:08, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Nice reworking on the infobox and lead; you only missed the target on Song of the Year, mention of the Spotify promo, also I would further suggesting mention the remix's music video in the lead. --K. Peake 12:30, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, I'm sorry for the mistakes. I will fix them now and start the next sections. And thank you for your suggestion. I will add it. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 15:20, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Excuse me, I don't understand this phrase: "[8] should be after [7] as well as in its current place". Can you please explain? I'm so sorry.
 * It means that as well as the sentence that ref 8 is currently at the end of, it should also be invoked after ref 7 in the previous sentence – this is because [8] backs up part of that sentence too. --K. Peake 16:51, 27 February 2021 (UTC)


 * thank you so much. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 17:19, 27 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I had another question. Should I write the peak positions of all of his Top 10s or just write: It peaked in the Top 10 of Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica,...

And if I should write each peak position, do I have to mention that for example "this is Martin's fifth top 10 in the country" or it's not necessary? Because actually there is almost no available data about his classic songs chart performances. (Most of Monitor Latino charts were published between 2016-2018, while there is no data about these countries' former charts. We only have the data for songs "The Cup of Life" and "Vuelve" among his 90s and 2000s hits and even these two songs chart performances are not complete neither.)
 * No, you do not have to write the exact positions; just put "It also peaked in the top 10 of..." then write out the countries that weren't listed in the previous sentence(s), also I would advise to probably place refs after every comma to avoid them becoming cluttered and you've done a great job so far going through all of my comments; even if taking a while, you are going into detail which is awesome! --K. Peake 21:52, 27 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks. I will add them now; And thank you so much for reviewing this and telling me my mistakes. And please accept my apologies because of too many mistakes. This is my first time that I nominated an article, besides as I'm not a native speaker, I had too many grammer issues. Sorry for that.آرمین هویدایی (talk) 12:32, 28 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, about "where does it mention the radio release?", as far as I know, Los 40 is one of the main musical radio stations in many Spanish-speaking countries. That's why I used it as a source for radio release. While, if I'm wrong or you suggest me to remove this, I will obey.آرمین هویدایی (talk) 12:32, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Platinum+Gold certifications?
Hi آرمین هویدایی. Regarding these edits, I am not an expert in these specific regions, but I have been editing certifications for quite a number of years, and I can't recall I heard or saw a "Platinum+Gold certification" for these regions. I would hazard a guess that these are regular Platinum awards. --Muhandes (talk) 18:50, 9 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, honestly I'm not sure neither, I just wrote it based on the content written in the source. (El Nuevo Herald newspaper) But since you are more expert in following certifications things, I guess you know better and these are probably regular Platinum awards. Maybe I misunderstood "gold and platinum", change them if you think that is accurate. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 21:06, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't know. I'll ping whom I saw editing these certifications in the past, maybe they will know better. --Muhandes (talk) 21:31, 9 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Some countries like Mexico and Guatemala would have Platinum+Gold certifications. Now other countries I'm not sure about but most of the times what would happen is that if let's say an album is certified gold in a country in February for 10k copies sold and then it gets certified platinum in July for 20k copies sold, that means the certification was updated but a newspaper/media would mistankenly report that the certifications as "gold and platinum" making it seem like the certifications add up instead of increasing. I know Uruguay just certifies either gold or platinum but not "platinum+gold" so that one is just a platinum certification. Some of the other countries I don't know about so I couldn't tell you right now. I will look into it but for right now I think we should keep the certifications that say "gold and platinum" as just platinum since that's the highest level for those certifications. Once we find the correct levels then we can update them. I will also look into finding the sales amount for those certifications. FanDePopLatino (talk) 22:20, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Final
In reply to this, I would not have removed the section had you added prose beneath it in the first place. Template:Album ratings states that the template should be placed directly after the infobox if there is not accompanying prose. We don't create a heading for a template with no accompanying wording to go beneath it, because it just looks like an empty section. I had no idea you had only made the first edit several minutes before I edited the page. Regardless, perhaps you should have added the prose before saving the page in your first edit. That would be my advice for the future.  Ss  112   14:12, 19 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, yes you're right. I'm sorry about that. Honestly I was editing with my phone at the time and since sometimes the data jumps out there unsaved, I had to save it earlier than what I indented. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 14:41, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Ricky Martin (1999 album) sales
I thought that the idea of inflating Ricky Martin's sales was already over on your part, but now it's back and you put the 1999 album with sales of 17 million copies, which would be giving a gap of about 5 million copies sold in countries that are small markets and whose sales would not add as much to the total amount.--88marcus (talk) 15:57, 1 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, I think the number which we were discussing to be inflated was 22 million, I think 17 makes sense. I also added BMG club sales, which was about 1 million in the US. (Nielsen does not count them, but RIAA does - so the album has sold almost 8M in the US, not 6M which we were discussed before.) Anyways, I agree with this, we can keep them both. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 20:18, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

"Nobody Wants to Be Lonely"
Thanks for helping expand "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely". I'll gladly help if you're trying to get the article up to GA status. If you plan on making any massive changes to the article, please let me know so we can cooperate. Otherwise, I'll just keep an eye on things and correct any little mistakes I see.

 * Hi! Yes, I'm going to bring the article to GA status. It would be an honor for me and I'd be thankful for your join me. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 21:16, 12 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Cool. I think I'll start by toning up the Chart Performance section and making a Credits section. Let me know if you need help with anything. ResPM  (T&#x1F508; &#x1F3B5;C) 21:20, 12 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Great. I'm currently working on Background and release. Then I will add Music and lyrics section, and critical recpetion. Feel free to add more info to them as well, if you want. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 21:29, 12 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Okay. I'm currently building a Credits section. I'm not going to add any wikilinks there yet, so once all the big stuff is done, you or I can go there and add links where necessary if they aren't mentioned above. ResPM  (T&#x1F508; &#x1F3B5;C) 21:34, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Here are the credits for the salsa version. I don't have any proof, but I am pretty sure that the salsa version is the one that topped the Tropical Airplay as it was common practice for Latin record labels to have their artists record multiple versions in the 2000s to top the Latin Songs chart. Erick (talk) 23:53, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I was thinking about adding the Spanish version too but I was worried it would have made the section too long. Speaking of which, the Sound Loaded booklet contains a LOT more personnel for the album version, and I didn't add them all in since I thought it would overshadow the duet version. Should I just go ahead and add them all in? ResPM  (T&#x1F508; &#x1F3B5;C) 00:02, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

How about just adding the songwriting credits for the Spanish version on the original version and put in parenthesis that it is for "Sólo Quiero Amarte"? Erick (talk) 00:04, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I've added the songwriters of "Sólo Quiero Amarte" only. If there's anything else that seems a little too much, I'll trim it down. ResPM  (T&#x1F508; &#x1F3B5;C) 00:15, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Great! Just need the salsa version since Ricky Martin recorded that version too. For reference, here's No Me Ames and A Puro Dolor which both also had salsa versions included in the personnel section. 00:30, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Helping a bit
Hey there آرمین هویدایی (is there an Anglicized form of this name that I can call you by?). I helped a bit on "Solo Quiero Amarte" and "Tu Recuerdo" by mentioning the salsa versions of these songs. Ricky Martin has recorded more salsa versions and it's a damn shame they haven't been commercially released because they're really good. Also, on "Solo Quiero Amarte", I guess I did what you'd call a "loophole" on WP:USCHARTS, because technically "Solo Quiero Amarte" didn't rank on other Billboard genre charts besides the Latin charts. That, by the way, was the result of a year ago where I compromised adding the Latin subcharts, because I thought it was ridiculous to lump all music in Spanish as the same thing when clearly it isn't. I got the idea from FanDePopLatino when he suggested separating the music charts for the original and Spanish versions. In other Ricky Martin-related news, I'm working on songs that reached #1 on the Latin Pop and Tropical Airplay charts, so my next Ricky Martin articles will be "Vuelve" and "Perdido Sin Ti". Just wanted to give a heads up. Erick (talk) 14:14, 2 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi Erick! Yes, my name is Armin, you can call me by this name. I think that is a great idea to separate the chart performances for Spanish and English versions of the songs like "Solo Quiero Amarte" and "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely", since they are actually counted as separate songs on charts and are not totally the same. Honestly I haven't heard their salsa versions, I will try to find them on YouTube today. I've just finished working on "María" last night and nominated it for GA review, and started working on "Tu Recuerdo" this morning, but whenever you wanted to start working on "Vuelve" and "Perdido Sin Ti", I would be so happy to get involved and help. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 14:33, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Cool! There's also the salsa versions of "Tal Vez" and "Y Todo Queda en Nada" and a bachata version of "Perdoname". I don't have a source to back this up, but I'm pretty sure that's how "Tal Vez" reached #1 on the Tropical Airplay. In the 2000s and until the mid 2010s, Latin record labels would have their pop artists record different versions to reach a wider audience. That's how I know these songs exists, because they would play in my local tropical radio stations (for reference, I live in the Greater Orlando area in Florida). Erick (talk) 14:46, 2 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Wow! I did not know about them, thanks for sharing the info. I just listened to the salsa version of "Tu Recuerdo" a few minutes ago and it was really nice, wish they were available on digital platforms as official releases. I will listen to the others you mentioned now. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 15:33, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Hey there, I just finished expanding List of Billboard Latin Pop Airplay number ones of 1998, which I will nominate for featured list once I have successfully nominate List of Billboard Tropical Airplay number ones of 1997, so now I am ready to work on "Vuelve". I already have the article set up on my sandbox. Erick (talk) 16:16, 20 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, glad to hear that. I'm currently working on Ricky Martin (1999 album), but I will finish the Singles section within an hour and then I will join you to work on "Vuelve". Thanks for telling me about that. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 17:08, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

I've nominated Vuelve for FAC and mentioned you on a co-nomination. Just heads about FAC, they scrutinize everything on the article. Don't be surprised if it fails the first time. It took me three tries to get Amarte Es un Placer (album) FA. Erick (talk) 14:01, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Wow! Thanks for mentioning me as a co-nominator. I will do my best to fix the issues and I hope it would become a featured article finally. It can be Ricky Martin's first FA and that would be awesome. PS: Have you checked my comments in peer review? Do you suggest me to edit the article per my comments? (Except Brazil certification, which you explained.) آرمین هویدایی (talk) 17:39, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, go ahead, that should be fine. Erick (talk) 19:52, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Hey! What do you think about adding Ricky Martin (99 album) to Wikiproject Latin music? Since we are regarding it as a Latin album per the sources and it is listed among the best-selling Latin albums? It also had a great impact in "Latin explosion", which I guess can be related to the Latin project. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 09:08, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Right now, the project only focuses on music in Spanish or Portuguese because they are Latin-based languages of Ibero-America whereas English isn't, and since it didn't rank on the Billboard Latin Albums chart, it's not under the project scope. It would require a separate discussion because defining "Latin music" is very hard to define. That's why, as a compromise, I tagged it under the Hispanic and Latino task force because of its cultural significance. Erick (talk) 09:12, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, got it. Thanks for explaining. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 09:15, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Hey Armin, for the FAC review, I'm going to use the non album singles as samples on Vuelve because Wikipedia strongly encourages non-free files to be used only one article. Otherwise we'd have to justify the rationale outside of the singles article. Meanwhile I already found some Creative Common files of Draco Rosa from YouTube. YouTube allows you to search by Creative Commons. Erick (talk) 11:14, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi. I'm sorry I didn't get it. What do you mean by "non album singles"? How could they be related to the article? I was thinking about adding samples from the album's non-single tracks, specially "Lola, lola". (Because the song is one of Martin's main songs in his tours and is one of his most known non-single tracks in his career). While if there are Creative Common files for Vuelve tracks, that would be great to use. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:47, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry that was a brainfart on my end. I meant to say "non single tracks from the album". You also read my mind, because "Lola, Lola", is indeed a sample I uploaded along with "Hagamos el Amor". They both used to represent the ballads and uptempo tracks respectively. Erick (talk) 11:51, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, that's Ok. 😁 Yes I saw your recent edits now. Nice samples! آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:59, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! I was thinking Aoba's comment and I'll admit I was surprise since this has never occurred to me on a FAC on the reception. One idea I have is for the first paragraph to detail what critics liked about the album and the second paragraph would be about what critics didn't like about it. For example, the first paragraph can start with "The uptempo tracks on Vuelve were met with positive reactions from critics" and the second paragraph can start with "The ballads on the record however, were met with mixed reactions and the number of ballads were criticized" or something like thought? Thoughts on how they should be worded? Erick (talk) 00:52, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi. Yes once a reviewer told me about it, reviewing "Vente Pa' Ca" here. But let's go for Vuelve... I think we can take a look at Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad, which is a FA as an example. I've also checked 1989 (Taylor Swift album) and several others and all of them begin with the fact that the album received generally favorable reviews from music critics / or mixed reviews or etc. Like you already did in Vuelve. That would be a whole point of view. Then we should write the content and as I see in those examples, they don't separately say what exactly "met with positive reactions from critics" or "mixed reactions". I guess the first sentence as a whole point of view is enough, but we should separate the orders of reviews with a more organized theme, like Good Girl Gone Bad, which was also criticized somehow. In Vuelve we have talked about balance between the tracks styles and the whole package, up-tempo tracks, ballads, Martin's vocal and diversity and improvement. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 08:35, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmm, yeah, I shamelessly copied Rhianna's album reception section on my sandbox. Also bit of a trivia, Rhianna's albums were also done by Tomica (if you didn't already know that), who has since pretty much retired from Wikipedia, so I don't think he'll mind. I did some editing based on my suggestions, but you're free as always to edit the sandbox before I post it on the main article. Erick (talk) 09:33, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry for late responses, I've been busy. Yes I had seen you and Tomica working on several articles together, but I didn't knew he used to work on Rihanna's albums. (She's my second-favorite singer only behind Ricky 😁❤) I will try to help as much as I can, but honestly since I'm not a native speaker, my English grammar is not that good and I think I may just mess up things with my words... (Persian language is my mother tongue) But I will do my best. Also, if you wanted me to look for references and these things I'll be glad to help. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 14:25, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Hey, just wanted to share this video of the Latin Grammy tribute to Ricky when he was Person of the Year in 2006 just in case you plan to work on any other song they covered, plus for entertainment purposes. It's mostly in Spanish, but you can pretty much tell what they're saying. Erick (talk) 00:38, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks a lot for sharing the video. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 10:32, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * No prob. Just curious, are you working on "Tal Vez" next? I was eventually going to get there when I reach the year 2003 on the Latin pop/tropical charts. I'm still in 1998 lol. Erick (talk) 17:09, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes! I've just finished Background and release section, if you want to join me for the rest of it, I'd be honored and very glad, but if you're busy or focusing on 1998 songs for now, I will do it on my own. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 17:22, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh I'm not busy, I can multitask. I just meant I was eventually going to also work on "Tal Vez" when I get to 2003. That song gives me memories of when I was finishing elementary school. I don't mind working on it right now. You listened to the salsa version of the song yet? Erick (talk) 17:25, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, that's great. I guess it is his biggest hit that we have not worked on it yet, so I started working on it. 🙂 Wow! I honestly heard it in 2017 for the first time, I wasn't too familiar with Martin before. (Unfortunately, he's not very popular in my country nowadays.) But it's really a nice song and one of my favorite ballads. Yes, I listened to it the day you told me about it. Anyways, for now we need to find a source for the song's genre. (A big issue for every single ballad!) آرمین هویدایی (talk) 17:48, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Hey do you want to take care of Ricky Martin's certified sales on Draft:List of best-selling Latin music artists? It would just be certified units from online databases (except for Spain). Erick (talk) 23:10, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, sure. Actually most of them are listed on Martin's talk page. I will add the newly updated certifications and list the summary here. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 09:01, 12 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Here is the list:

US: 14,630,000 Mexico: 4,645,000 UK: 2,925,000 Spain: 2,350,000 France: 2,225,000 Canada: 1,600,000 Japan: 1,300,000 Germany: 1,150,000 Australia: 1,085,000 Argentina: 894,000 Sweden: 455,000 Switzerland: 290,000 Belgium: 250,000 Poland: 250,000 Italy: 150,000 Finland: 140,812 New Zealand: 140,000 Netherlands: 100,000 Denmark: 50,000 Austria: 25,000

Total:34,655,000

He has also 5 million certified units by IFPI for Europe, which I'm not sure can be added or not. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 10:38, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

I don't have a source to back this up, but I'm pretty sure that's how "Tal Vez" reached #1 on the Tropical Airplay. In the 2000s and until the mid 2010s, Latin record labels would have their pop artists record different versions to reach a wider audience. That's how I know these songs exists, because they would play in my local tropical radio stations (for reference, I live in the Greater Orlando area in Florida).

 * Wow! I did not know about them, thanks for sharing the info. I just listened to the salsa version of "Tu Recuerdo" a few minutes ago and it was really nice, wish they were available on digital platforms as official releases. I will listen to the others you mentioned now. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 15:33, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Hey there, I just finished expanding List of Billboard Latin Pop Airplay number ones of 1998, which I will nominate for featured list once I have successfully nominate List of Billboard Tropical Airplay number ones of 1997, so now I am ready to work on "Vuelve". I already have the article set up on my sandbox. Erick (talk) 16:16, 20 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, glad to hear that. I'm currently working on Ricky Martin (1999 album), but I will finish the Singles section within an hour and then I will join you to work on "Vuelve". Thanks for telling me about that. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 17:08, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

I've nominated Vuelve for FAC and mentioned you on a co-nomination. Just heads about FAC, they scrutinize everything on the article. Don't be surprised if it fails the first time. It took me three tries to get Amarte Es un Placer (album) FA. Erick (talk) 14:01, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Wow! Thanks for mentioning me as a co-nominator. I will do my best to fix the issues and I hope it would become a featured article finally. It can be Ricky Martin's first FA and that would be awesome. PS: Have you checked my comments in peer review? Do you suggest me to edit the article per my comments? (Except Brazil certification, which you explained.) آرمین هویدایی (talk) 17:39, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, go ahead, that should be fine. Erick (talk) 19:52, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Hey! What do you think about adding Ricky Martin (99 album) to Wikiproject Latin music? Since we are regarding it as a Latin album per the sources and it is listed among the best-selling Latin albums? It also had a great impact in "Latin explosion", which I guess can be related to the Latin project. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 09:08, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Right now, the project only focuses on music in Spanish or Portuguese because they are Latin-based languages of Ibero-America whereas English isn't, and since it didn't rank on the Billboard Latin Albums chart, it's not under the project scope. It would require a separate discussion because defining "Latin music" is very hard to define. That's why, as a compromise, I tagged it under the Hispanic and Latino task force because of its cultural significance. Erick (talk) 09:12, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, got it. Thanks for explaining. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 09:15, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Hey Armin, for the FAC review, I'm going to use the non album singles as samples on Vuelve because Wikipedia strongly encourages non-free files to be used only one article. Otherwise we'd have to justify the rationale outside of the singles article. Meanwhile I already found some Creative Common files of Draco Rosa from YouTube. YouTube allows you to search by Creative Commons. Erick (talk) 11:14, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi. I'm sorry I didn't get it. What do you mean by "non album singles"? How could they be related to the article? I was thinking about adding samples from the album's non-single tracks, specially "Lola, lola". (Because the song is one of Martin's main songs in his tours and is one of his most known non-single tracks in his career). While if there are Creative Common files for Vuelve tracks, that would be great to use. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:47, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry that was a brainfart on my end. I meant to say "non single tracks from the album". You also read my mind, because "Lola, Lola", is indeed a sample I uploaded along with "Hagamos el Amor". They both used to represent the ballads and uptempo tracks respectively. Erick (talk) 11:51, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, that's Ok. 😁 Yes I saw your recent edits now. Nice samples! آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:59, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! I was thinking Aoba's comment and I'll admit I was surprise since this has never occurred to me on a FAC on the reception. One idea I have is for the first paragraph to detail what critics liked about the album and the second paragraph would be about what critics didn't like about it. For example, the first paragraph can start with "The uptempo tracks on Vuelve were met with positive reactions from critics" and the second paragraph can start with "The ballads on the record however, were met with mixed reactions and the number of ballads were criticized" or something like thought? Thoughts on how they should be worded? Erick (talk) 00:52, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi. Yes once a reviewer told me about it, reviewing "Vente Pa' Ca" here. But let's go for Vuelve... I think we can take a look at Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad, which is a FA as an example. I've also checked 1989 (Taylor Swift album) and several others and all of them begin with the fact that the album received generally favorable reviews from music critics / or mixed reviews or etc. Like you already did in Vuelve. That would be a whole point of view. Then we should write the content and as I see in those examples, they don't separately say what exactly "met with positive reactions from critics" or "mixed reactions". I guess the first sentence as a whole point of view is enough, but we should separate the orders of reviews with a more organized theme, like Good Girl Gone Bad, which was also criticized somehow. In Vuelve we have talked about balance between the tracks styles and the whole package, up-tempo tracks, ballads, Martin's vocal and diversity and improvement. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 08:35, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmm, yeah, I shamelessly copied Rhianna's album reception section on my sandbox. Also bit of a trivia, Rhianna's albums were also done by Tomica (if you didn't already know that), who has since pretty much retired from Wikipedia, so I don't think he'll mind. I did some editing based on my suggestions, but you're free as always to edit the sandbox before I post it on the main article. Erick (talk) 09:33, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry for late responses, I've been busy. Yes I had seen you and Tomica working on several articles together, but I didn't knew he used to work on Rihanna's albums. (She's my second-favorite singer only behind Ricky 😁❤) I will try to help as much as I can, but honestly since I'm not a native speaker, my English grammar is not that good and I think I may just mess up things with my words... (Persian language is my mother tongue) But I will do my best. Also, if you wanted me to look for references and these things I'll be glad to help. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 14:25, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Hey, just wanted to share this video of the Latin Grammy tribute to Ricky when he was Person of the Year in 2006 just in case you plan to work on any other song they covered, plus for entertainment purposes. It's mostly in Spanish, but you can pretty much tell what they're saying. Erick (talk) 00:38, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks a lot for sharing the video. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 10:32, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * No prob. Just curious, are you working on "Tal Vez" next? I was eventually going to get there when I reach the year 2003 on the Latin pop/tropical charts. I'm still in 1998 lol. Erick (talk) 17:09, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes! I've just finished Background and release section, if you want to join me for the rest of it, I'd be honored and very glad, but if you're busy or focusing on 1998 songs for now, I will do it on my own. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 17:22, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh I'm not busy, I can multitask. I just meant I was eventually going to also work on "Tal Vez" when I get to 2003. That song gives me memories of when I was finishing elementary school. I don't mind working on it right now. You listened to the salsa version of the song yet? Erick (talk) 17:25, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, that's great. I guess it is his biggest hit that we have not worked on it yet, so I started working on it. 🙂 Wow! I honestly heard it in 2017 for the first time, I wasn't too familiar with Martin before. (Unfortunately, he's not very popular in my country nowadays.) But it's really a nice song and one of my favorite ballads. Yes, I listened to it the day you told me about it. Anyways, for now we need to find a source for the song's genre. (A big issue for every single ballad!) آرمین هویدایی (talk) 17:48, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Hey do you want to take care of Ricky Martin's certified sales on Draft:List of best-selling Latin music artists? It would just be certified units from online databases (except for Spain). Erick (talk) 23:10, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, sure. Actually most of them are listed on Martin's talk page. I will add the newly updated certifications and list the summary here. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 09:01, 12 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Here is the list:

US: 14,630,000 Mexico: 4,645,000 UK: 2,925,000 Spain: 2,350,000 France: 2,225,000 Canada: 1,600,000 Japan: 1,300,000 Germany: 1,150,000 Australia: 1,085,000 Argentina: 894,000 Sweden: 455,000 Switzerland: 290,000 Belgium: 250,000 Poland: 250,000 Italy: 150,000 Finland: 140,812 New Zealand: 140,000 Netherlands: 100,000 Denmark: 50,000 Austria: 25,000

Total:34,655,000

He has also 5 million certified units by IFPI for Europe, which I'm not sure can be added or not. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 10:38, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Some chocolate coins for you!

 * Thank you so much. Merry Christmas and happy holidays. 🎄💗 آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:06, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
