  • Dare one ask for a link in the opening part of the lead to latin music?
    • Fixed.
  • "that features Latin music airplay information" isn't it more the case that it's a chart based on airplay information?
    • Fixed.
  • "Latin speaking" - I think you need a hyphen and do you really mean Latin-speaking??!
    • Fixed, I meant Spanish speaking.
  • " based on the number of listeners each one had" based on their number of listeners?
    • Fixed.
  • Link airplay first time, not second...
    • Fixed.
  • "...entered to the Billboard computer system, which calculates points for every ..." tense change. In fact the first para of the lead reads oddly (to me, at least) because you talk about what was going on in the 80s then you start talking current timeframe.
    • Fixed.
  • " in the the chart printed publication" what does this mean?
    • Fixed. The electronic database points as the first number-one song "La Guirnalda", but in the printed version of the chart (magazine) the first one is "Yo No Sé Qué Me Pasó".
  • "in the 80s." (caption & lead) shouldn't this be 1980s (per MOS)?
    • Fixed.
  • "In 1987, a biography film about Ritchie Valens produced by Taylor Hackford and written and directed by Luis Valdez was released. The director chose to record new music for the film rather than use Valens' own recordings. American band Los Lobos were among the musicians chosen for the movie." reads choppily to me, can we merge these 3 into 2?
    • Fixed.
  • Spaced en dashes in those references please rather than spaced hyphens...
    • Fixed.

At least you've got something to work with now! All the best. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:33, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Should "¿Y Quién Puede Ser?" sort after "Yo No Sé Qué Me Pasó"?
    • I do not know why the sort does that. I can erase the question marks...

General
  • Alt text, contributors, dab and external links all check out fine.
Lead
  • Introduced in 1986, the information was compiled by the Billboard chart and research department with information from 70 Spanish-speaking radio stations in United States and Puerto Rico. -- formerly its the United States
Fixed!
  • Those radio stations were selected based on their number of listeners. Stations were asked to report their playlists for the week, and this information was entered to the Billboard computer system, calculating points for every song. -- how about, Those radio stations were selected based on their number of listeners, and were asked to report their playlists for the week.

  • According to the Billboard electronic database the first one was "La Guirnalda" by Spanish singer Rocío Dúrcal in September 6, 1986. --> According to the Billboard electronic database, the first was "La Guirnalda" by Spanish singer Rocío Dúrcal in September 6, 1986.
Fixed!
  • By the end of that year another of Gabriel's compositions, "De Mí Enamórate" sung by Daniela Romo, also reached number-one. -- comma after that year
Fixed!
  • So with Rocio and Juan, was their an official listing as to the first one?
While researching for this article I found the Billboard magazine online and Juan Gabriel was at number-one in the first chart published, but Durcal appears as the first number-one song in the Billboard electronic database.
  • Cuban singer-songwriter Gloria Estefan became the first artist to simultaneously peak at number-one in the Billboard Hot 100 with "Don't Wanna Lose You", and the Billboard Top Latin Songs with the Spanish version titled "Si Voy a Perderte" on September 16, 1989 -- no need to link to the Latin chart again per WP:OVERLINK--Truco 503 23:39, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Closing note I have archived this nomination as unsuccessful, as more than a month has passed since this FLC was submitted, there is no consensus to promote and the length of FLC has put off reviewers. Unfortunately, I have had to fail several old, stale FLCs because of this. Feel free to re-submit this FLC in 5 or 6 days after ensuring that the previous issues have been resolved.
