Will review soon. Skyshiftertalk 22:29, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

General comments, infobox and lead

• The single cover has a valid fair use rationale, though some texts were apparently duplicated and even quadruplicated, so I've fixed that.
• No copyvio (search without search engine due to error 429)
• The infobox uses "BMG U.S. Latin" but the article uses "US" instead of "U.S."
  • Not done. There should be consistency here.
• "by Mexican singer" → "by the Mexican singer" (WP:FALSETITLE)

Background and composition

• Link the first occurrence of Cristian Castro in "Background and composition"
• "by Colombian musician" → "by the Colombian musician" (WP:FALSETITLE)
  • Not done
• "Although the album was met with mixed reviews, it achieved multi-platinum status and was named Latin pop artist of 2000 US by Billboard" — what does "2000 US" mean? Also, you should clarify that Castro was named "Latin pop artist of 2000 US", not the album. "Billboard" should also be italicized.
• Link "rock" to rock music and experimental music to itself.
• "and an English-language disc of cover versions" — cover versions of what specifically?
  • Not clarified
• I see that some lyrics are mentioned — does any source give any interpretation or opinion on them or do they just mention them?
  • Not responded but I assume there are no sources for this.

Promotion and release

• "scenes Castro" → "scenes of Castro"
• "on the 50 Best Latin Pop Songs From 2000 to 2023" → "on their list of the 50 best Latin pop songs between 2000 and 2023"
• "nominated in the category of Latin Pop Airplay of the Year" → "nominated for Latin Pop Airplay of the Year"
  • Lacking "for"
• "but ultimately lost" → "but lost"
• "it was nominated Pop Song of the Year at Lo Nuestro Awards" → "it was nominated for Pop Song of the Year at the Lo Nuestro Awards"
• but also lost to "Abrázame Muy Fuerte" → "but lost to the same song"
• "Santander was awarded for the track" — awarded what?
• "reached the apex" seems quite metaphorical, recommend just "reached the top"
• "where it spent" → "spending"

 On hold Skyshiftertalk 02:47, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

I will get to work on on this either tomorrow or Wednesday. Erick (talk) 00:40, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

@Skyshifter Sorry about the wait, I think I got everything. Erick (talk) 17:48, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

@Magiciandude: I've noted above some changes that weren't made. Skyshiftertalk 19:59, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

@Skyshifter Sorry about that, I got the rest. For the lyrics on the infobox, I changed from "compares" to "likens" to match the source. Erick (talk) 23:25, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
