This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I've expanded it and would like it to be a GA article in the near future :)

Sorry for my bad punctuality. The article does not look bad, although are a few things you need to look out for before GAN:

  • What is "Latin type" certification? Is it necessary and how is it different from the normal RIAA certification, which is written as "(standard)" in this article?
    The Spanish certification (Disco De Platino), their certification requirements are different from RIAA's standard certification. For example, a gold certification would be 500,000 copies in Spanish the requirements would only need to be 50,000 copies. Platinum is 1,000,000 in Spanish its 100,000 copies. :-)
  • Careful of words like "upon", which may be considered a bit too formal. Try "following the album's release".
  • "Live! had won two awards from the Billboard Latin Music Awards" - what year?
  • Too many sentences begin with "The album" and it makes the prose bad and repetitive. Try variations like Live!, The live album, The release, It, etc.
  • Same with "The song". Try variations like The track, The singles (if the song was released as such), The recording, It, etc.
  • "Live! incorporated three cumbia-influenced studio tracks" - you mean it no longer does? Use present tense instead to describe the album's content.
  • Be careful how you use the word "also" Most times, it is completely redundant and has no effect in the sentence's structure and meaning whatsoever. Example: "Another original song performed by Astudillo, '¿Porque le gusta bailar cumbia?', is also included in the track listing of Live! and was released on Como nadie."
  • Do you have a source to the Track listing?
  • I suggest chart tables be formatted according to WP:ACCESS.
  • FN 11: Publisher/label? Also, a catalog number (publisherid) and page numbers are recommended.
  • FN 17: Format this like I told you in the GAN.
  • FN 35: Try Template:Cite album-notes.
  • FN 36: There should be a period (full stop) at the end of that sentence.
    I can't change it, I believe that's the way it is supposed to be.
  • Check FN 37. It may be dead. Don't forget to deal with all dead links before GAN. WP:Checklinks is a great tool. Click on the "external links" on the toolbox to the right.
  • All web sources need access dates. Check FN 37 for this.

Work still needed before taking this article to GAN. Hope my advice helps. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 21:25, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
