Romances

 * Nominator(s): DJ Magician Man (talk) 22:07, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because after working on this article for months, I went through two peer reviews and had the article copy edited twice. If there is any other issue that needs to be addressed, please let me know and I will fix as promply as possible. DJ Magician Man (talk) 22:07, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Source review - spotchecks not done. Nikkimaria (talk) 23:05, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Make sure all web citations include retrieval dates. However, convenience links to print-based sources (like Google Books) don't require retrieval dates
 * Be consistent in what is wikilinked when
 * How many pages in the CD liner notes
 * Is Billboard published by Prometheus or Nielsen?
 * Can you cite the original source of this material?
 * Watch for small inconsistencies like doubled periods
 * In general, make sure your reference format is consistent. Nikkimaria (talk) 23:05, 6 July 2011 (UTC)


 * *Okay, I've added retrieval dates on the certification official websites. Do you want me to remove the retrieval dates with the sources from Google Books?

 * I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.
 * The liner notes does not have page numbers.
 * The physical magazines are published by Nielsen whereas the online database is published by Prometheus.
 * I've added the original source from the Billboard magazine itself.
 * Didn't find any double periods. Yeah I did found one on the article, not when editing it. I removed it anyway.

Comments: Sorry, I'll finish reading through when I get a chance- gotta rush off now. J Milburn (talk) 11:49, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
 * There are short, choppy sentences at the start of the background section
 * "The two albums also became successful in countries outside of Latin America" The US is outside of Latin America
 * "He also expressed an interest in singing in Italian and Portuguese,[8] although the album's songs are all in Spanish." I don't really understand this
 * "Tercer Romance ("Third Romance")" You didn't provide translations for the other titles
 * The third para of "background" doesn't really seem to belong there, at least without some more introduction; also, you don't mention the final title, and the para is not so well sourced
 * "York City to commemorate the" "commemorate" implies it was years later

Starting up again- Generally looking pretty good- I imagine I will be willing to support this article at some point soon. J Milburn (talk) 21:20, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
 * "for two-and-a-half hours" 79 concerts totalling 2.5 hours?
 * "wrote a more optimisitc review" optimistic is the wrong word
 * Why was Ernesto Lecnher critical?

Thanks for your feedback J Milburn, I'm not finished with the issues but here's what I've done so far: Erick (talk) 03:37, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm still working on the start of background section. EDIT: I expanded some sentences by merging two sentences to together, but I might need help here if there are other issues that need to addressed with it.
 * I've included that the success of both albums was outside of the US as well.
 * When Miguel announced a third Romance album, he said he would also sing in Italian and Portuguese, but the final work is all in Spanish. Why it's only in Spanish is what I couldn't find.
 * I've provided the translations that I missed.
 * I'm split on whether I should make the third paragraph it's own section or merge it with the recording and production. I've also added references using the Allmusic source.
 * I replaced "to commemorate the" with "for the" album.
 * I added that it was 2.5 hours for each show.
 * I wrote that he had a positive reaction to the show.
 * I cannot find the original review that Lechner wrote for the album. All I found was Morales's response to his review, and with the help with another editor, neither of could find it. See the discussion page of the article.


 * Oppose per above comments; this seems premature, GAN would be a better route for this article first. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 17:51, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem, I'll have this FAC withdrawn. Thank you for those who made an input to the comments. Erick (talk) 17:54, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
