My first review for any of you in quite some time; this will start today! --K. Peake 08:32, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

Cover art caption is not appropriate, as the US release is not called a maxi single anywhere
Wikilink as samba
Use bullet points instead for labels per Template:Infobox song
Wikilink as Draco Rosa
Shouldn't you write English title as "the Bomb" per the body's stylization?
Wikilink as Draco Rosa
"was handled by Porter and Rosa." → "was handled by the latter two." plus this needs to be written out in the body
Wikilink as samba
"the music which makes" → "the music that makes"
Remove comma after rhythm of the dance
"its danceable rhythm and was highlighted as" → "the danceable rhythm and highlighted it as"
Pipe Premios Eres to Revista ERES
"It depicts Martin" → "It shows Martin" to be less repetitive
"The track was included on" → "The song was included on" and add at the end of the sentence, "while he also performed it..." mentioning other notable performance(s)

Background and composition

~~It is fine mentioning the chorus without a source on the audio sample text, but you need to source a melody of the song in prose~~

~~Isn't [10] enough for that, it has described the song as "an uptempo dance track". آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:23, 16 December 2021 (UTC)~~[reply]

Remove comma after third studio album
"his record label executives" → "the executives at his record label" then writing the name of his label
If not every country in South America has a record chart, then write "all South American countries with record charts" instead

I changed it to "number one in 20 countries" and added another reference for it. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:38, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a sufficient replacement --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"had sold over" → "has sold over"
The first three sentences of the second paragraph should be merged with the above one per them being background
Should it be "was" or "is" going before the quote, as maybe the tense should be consistent?
"The album consisting mainly" → "The album consists mainly"
~~Wikilink Spanish language~~

~~I'm sorry but per MOS:OVERLINK, I think languages should not be linked. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:38, 16 December 2021 (UTC)~~[reply]

Wikilink as samba
"the Dallas Morning News editor Mario Tarradell also echoed." → "The Dallas Morning News editor Mario Tarradell echoed."
Shouldn't the writing sentence also mention production credits?
[17] should be solely at the end of the translated title sentence instead
Pipe to Bomba (Puerto Rico) should only be on "of the same name"
The piano part is to do with the music, so should come directly before the writing sentence

Release and promotion

Img looks good!
"was released as" → "was released on CD as" with the pipe
"fourth studio album, Vuelve, released February" → "fourth studio album Vuelve on February"
"was released in the United States, by" → "was released in the US by" per MOS:US
"The music video was filmed in April 1998" → "The song's music video was filmed during April 1998" with the wikilink
"The visual, also includes a" → "At the beginning of the visual, he appears in a"
"It was later included" → "The clip was later included"
Wikilink compilation albums
Remove the view count since YouTube is constantly updating; you need a source writing it out for verification

Critical reception

Newsday review should be in the same sentence as Los 40, using the connective while
"the album's highlights as did the" → "the album's highlights, as did"
You do not need to write the before Newsday critic
"citing the song's lyrics to" → "citing how the song's lyrics"
"the time, when drinks" → "the time when drinks"
"saying like it is suggested by the song's title, the track is," → "saying like the title suggests, it is,"
"acknowledged it as one" → "acknowledged the song as one"
"from Los Angeles Times described the song as" → "from the Los Angeles Times described it as"

Done--آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:50, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Accolades

"on the list of" → "on a list of"
"listed it among" → "listed the track among"

Done--آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:50, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't you write Premios Eres? Either way, pipe to Revista ERES.

"Premios" literally means "awards" in Spanish. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:50, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I did not look into that so thanks for letting me know, also good job on solely implementing the second suggestion here. --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Commercial performance

"Central American countries including" → "Central American countries, including"
"it peaked at numbers" → "the song peaked at numbers"
Does [47] back up all of that sentence and the previous one?

Yes, all three charts were in one page in the magazine.آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:52, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pipe on Spanish-speaking countries is not necessary here, as this text is about countries that don't speak it

Live performances and appearances in media

Img looks good!
The source does not mention the Vuelve Tour, plus should this really be surrounded by speech marks?
The list of tours is a bit excess for ones following "including"; maybe find a source stating that he performed it on all of his tours and then add notable ones after including?
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a specific source citing that.آرمین هویدایی (talk) 12:12, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Good on you to maintain intergrity and not add OR; this reads smoothly without the usage of "including" now! --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"as part of his" → "as part of Martin's"
Change Miami, Florida to Miami with no wikilink
The source does not mention the tour being used for promotion of MTV Unplugged
"danced to it on" → "did the same on"
Add the release years of the songs in brackets
""Livin' la Vida Loca, to" → ""Livin' la Vida Loca" to"

Formats and track listings

No Australian CD or European 12-inch singles are sourced

The source 19 backs up 😶 The section Tracks include the track listing and formats. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 12:16, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh thanks, I must have missed that --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Final comments and verdict

On hold until all of the issues are fixed! --K. Peake 22:11, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kyle Peake: Thank you so much for devoting your time on it. It is always an honor for me to have my nominated-articles reviewed by you. I fixed all the issues, I hope I haven't missed anything. If I had, please tell me to fix it. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 12:32, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@آرمین هویدایی: ✓ Pass now, that was quick and you provided proper reasons not to implement certain changes; congratulations to both you and Magiciandude on getting this into GA status! --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
