Hot Latin Tracks claim
[edit]Hey @Magiciandude:, I looked everywhere for a Billboard source or even a book source to verify that Secada's four number one singles were a record for the chart, but couldn't find one. I then ran a source check for Selena (since she reportedly tied with him) and didn't find anything on it being a record, I then ran it with Enrique who had five number one singles and I found his claim verifable as a record but it doesn't tell me who was the previous record holder. By any chance can you help me find a source that I can add in the article that verifies Secada's record claim? Also on Selena since she tied with him? I removed two book sources that I thought verified the claim but after doing a source check to verify, I couldn't find it. Thanks, .jonatalk 17:40, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
- Disregard this message, I found the source (it was already sourced in the article smh!). Best, .jonatalk 17:51, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Comments
- I'm curious about the translation, it looks like a literal one, whereas the English song itself was translated as "Just another day without you", worth mentioning I think.
- I am not a Spanish speaking person so I asked one of my friends here on Wikipedia who gave me the literal translation. There are no sources out there for the translation of the album title. jona(talk) 21:32, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- But you are aware that the English-language version of this song uses the lyrics "Just another day without you" aren't you? The Rambling Man (talk) 04:49, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- Yes I am aware of that. jona(talk) 14:58, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- So it should be added to the article for completeness. It uses the same music, and was Secada's breakthrough English-language track, it's worth noting here. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:24, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- Our article on Emilio Estefan avoids the use of Jr.
- " who got the idea" clunky and unencyclopedic, particularly as you already said "The idea to..." earlier on. Rephrase.
- Where is this in the article? jona(talk) 21:32, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- Third sentence in the lead. The Rambling Man (talk) 04:49, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- "market potential" quote needs reference.
- That paragraph is cited to the same page, just didn't want to overpopulate it. But
Done jona(talk) 21:32, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- That paragraph is cited to the same page, just didn't want to overpopulate it. But
- "becoming the first Latin artist to do so" no, something like "making Secada the first Latin artist to achieve the feat".
- "Secada became the first Hispanic artist of color to have a number one song on the Hot Latin Tracks chart." shouldn't this fact come when you first talk about number ones on the Latin Tracks chart?
- "was the backup vocalist for" she only had one? Or do you mean "was a backup vocalist"?
- "Secada became close friends with Gloria..." -> "He became...
- "The recording made up of" ->" The recording was made up of" or perhaps "The recording comprised"
- "According to Secada written in his autobiography," -> "According to Secada, writing in his autobiography,"
- "and wanted him to be a crossover" replace him with Secada for certainty.
- "Emilio met up with the" no need for "up with".
- "recognized the market potential" needs direct ref.
Done earlier remark. jona(talk) 21:32, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- " Behar requested Secada to record his first Spanish-language album to the head of EMI Records, Charles Koppelman, who accepted the proposal" -> "Behar suggested to the head of EMI Records, Charles Koppelman, that Secada should record his first Spanish-language album; Koppelman accepted the proposal." Or similar.
- "be comfortably fine with" -> "be comfortable with"
- "She also told them " who is "them", do you mean "him"?
- Secada and Emilio.
Fixed jona(talk) 21:32, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- Secada and Emilio.
- "The album peaked at number four..." -> "Otro Día Más Sin Verte peaked at number four" to be sure which album you're referring to.
- "John Lannert of Billboard called "Angel" a "dramatic love ode",..." shouldn't this be after the description of "Angel", not "Cree En Nuestro Amor"?
- "as rock ballads " no need for "as".
- "Chuck Taylor of Billboard called Secada's new Spanish offerings as "tailored, uptempo Latin vibe."[17]" bad grammar, maybe "Chuck Taylor of Billboard called Secada's new Spanish offerings as having a "tailored, uptempo Latin vibe."[17]"
- "Seada became " typo.
- Can't find this. jona(talk) 21:32, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- Second para of "Release and singles" section. You can use Control-F or Command-F (PC vs Mac) to search for specific phrases in the text... The Rambling Man (talk) 04:49, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- María Teresa Vera has a diacritic on her "i".
- Weekly charts sorting messes up - suggest you just make it unsortable.
Quite a few issues, mainly in the prose, so I'll place on hold for a week. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:56, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
- @The Rambling Man: I have fix most issues you found. Thanks for the review, jona(talk) 21:32, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- Nearly there. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:24, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
Ok, I made a couple of format tweaks, but I'm happy this is GA quality, so passing. Good work. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:40, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you =) jona(talk) 20:41, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
