[edit]

Does use of the chorus in this page fall under copyvioing? Johnleemk | Talk 11:32, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Since we've only got the chorus, I would probably argue fair use. I'm no copyright lawyer though. Isomorphic 01:54, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Ricky Martin - She Bangs - single cover.jpg

[edit]

Image:Ricky Martin - She Bangs - single cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

"Romantic" Salsa Song?

[edit]

I'm no expert on salsa and what constitutes "romantic", but this song seems to be about lust, not romance.John ISEM (talk) 13:56, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dancer

Will start on this sometime today --Kyle Peake (talk) 05:29, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

[edit]
  • Recording date is unsourced
  • Link to the music videos in the infobox
  • "is a song recorded by Puerto Rican singer" → "is a song by Puerto Rican singer"
  • With all due respect, this is a preference. There's nothing wrong with the prose right now, actually is preferred by editors since it's been used in all articles I brought to a FA status. — Tom(T2ME) 09:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "It was written by and produced" → "The song was written and produced by"
  • Song is repeated again from the previous sentence. "It" is fine.
  • Wikilink lead single to itself
  • Mention that the release was to radio and what label it was through
  • "on September 23, 2000" → "on September 22, 2000"
  • ""She Bangs" is a dance song with" → "The song is a dance track, with"
  • "influences in which the singer who wants hold" → "influences, while the lyrics see Martin wanting to hold"
  • Done.
  • "It was met with positive reviews by music critics noted" → "It received widely positive reviews from music critics, who often noted" with the appropriate target
  • But grammatically, "met with positive reviews by music critics noted the similarities" clearly has issues and the target is obviously required, plus "received" should be here and "met with" in the body --Kyle Peake (talk) 09:39, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Commercially, it peaked at number one" → "Commercially, the song peaked at number one"
  • "Switzerland and reached the top five in several countries in Europe" → "Switzerland, and reached the top five in several other European countries"
  • "A Spanish-language version of the song was also recorded" → "A Spanish-language version of "She Bangs" was recorded" with the target
  • "and reached on top of the" → "and reached the summit of the"
  • No need for this. The videos are literally the same for both versions.
  • "The video's suggested sexual content" → "The suggested sexual content of the video"
  • "and was banned in several Latin American countries" → "and led to it being banned in several Latin American countries"
  • "Despite the backlash, it won the" → "Despite the backlash, the visual won the"
  • ""She Bangs" has been covered by several artists" → "The song has been covered by several artists,"
  • "His rendition was met with unfavorable reactions" → "His cover version received generally unfavorable responses"

Composition and lyrical interpretation

[edit]
  • Shouldn't a Background section be above this one, or add background info to the article and combine with this section if there's not enough for its own?
  • Wikilink Latin music to itself instead
  • "and lasts for four minutes and forty-two seconds" → "and lasts for 4:42"
  • "digital sheet music for the single" → "digital sheet music for the song" with the appropriate wikilink
  • "and has a groove of" → "with a groove of"
  • "from the low note of D4 to" → "from the low note of D4, to"
  • Remove target on instrumentation
  • "features powerful percussion" → "features "powerful" percussion"
  • Target tropical to Tropical music
  • "wrote that the single starts" → "wrote that the song begins"
  • "They are followed by" → "The beats are followed by an"
  • Wikilink horn section to itself
  • "similar to the one on" → "which Willman called reminiscent of the one on"
  • "and even harder to hold."" → "and even harder to hold"."
  • "Billboard's reviewer stated" → "Billboard wrote" since this is fine in a non reception section
  • "and that make cynics bark" → "and will make cynics bark"

Critical reception

[edit]
  • Why is the img hidden?
  • Retitle to Release and reception, so move the radio sentence to here instead
  • "The song received generally positive reviews" → The song was met with widely positive reviews" since there are no negative ones
  • "A reviewer of Billboard magazine" → "The staff of Billboard"
  • "flavor of Martin's 1999 number-one single "Livin' la Vida Loca"" → "flavor of "Livin' la Vida Loca""
  • "According to him" → "According to the staff"
  • "is just what the radio needed at the moment" → "was just what the radio needed at the time of release"
  • "Similarly, Allison Stewart of" → "Similarly, Allison Stewart from the"
  • "Sean Piccoli and Lawrence A. Johnson of" → "Sean Piccoli and Lawrence A. Johnson of the"
  • "They further noted that the" → "The two of them further noted that the"
  • "consisted of 34 people, "The life" → "consisting of 34 people, opining that the "life"
  • "Geoff Boucher of" → "Geoff Boucher of the"
  • "and its accompanying music video" → "and accompanying music video" with the wikilink
  • "referencing Martin's 1999 single" → "in reference to Martin's 1999 single"
  • "Jose F. Promis of" → "Jose F. Promis from"
  • "and stated that is arguably" → "and stated that it is arguably"
  • "earned Martin a nomination for" → "was nominated for"
  • ""She Bangs" was recognized" → "The track was recognized"
  • Wikilink International Dance Music Awards to itself instead
  • Remove target on 12"; similarly to how there is no target on pop in this section, there shouldn't be one on this term either

Commercial performance

[edit]
  • Mention where it was released to radio stations; remember, this sentence will still be moved to the previous section
  • Target Australian Singles Chart to ARIA Charts
  • "It spend six weeks in the top-ten" → "It spent 6 weeks in the top 10" per MOS:NUM
Tomica "Comparable values should be all spelled out or all in figures, even if one of the numbers would normally be written differently: patients' ages were five, seven, and thirty-two or ages were 5, 7 and 32, but not ages were five, seven and 32." So in this case, yes. --Kyle Peake (talk) 07:26, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's a different situation, where you compare things. Here we don't compare things when talking about charting trajectory. I have done multiple FAs before and actually the preferred way is 1-9 words, above 9 numerical. Please read this. — Tom(T2ME) 08:55, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have read that and totally understand where you are coming from; I once felt that way, but ultimately realised otherwise and see Talk:Follow God/GA1 to understand what I am talking about since small numbers should not be spelt out in certain cases. --Kyle Peake (talk) 17:00, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Final comments and verdict

My next day off work is Tuesday, so I'll get it on that day. Erick (talk) 02:49, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Magiciandude: Yeah I have no issue with that; depending on the time though, I may respond later on during the day since I'm going out. --Kyle Peake (talk) 09:55, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Magiciandude and Tomica, you two got any updates on this? --Kyle Peake (talk) 12:16, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Gonna need at least another week to finish this. I worked on the music video today. Erick (talk) 04:04, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Magiciandude I was about to fail this due to it being on hold for over three weeks and because neither of you had responded to my comments from four days ago, but now there has been a response from you and may I ask what took so long? --Kyle Peake (talk) 05:35, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you know, life happened. It's not that we are on Wikipedia all the time. Plus, you literally asked us to change nearly every sentence, which frankly, sometimes, I do not agree with some of the prose you are suggesting. So, yes, we will need some more time. — Tom(T2ME) 16:50, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Magiciandude and Tomica, I understand that you may oppose some of the prose I suggested to change because constructive criticism is acceptable and there were many changes suggested by me. However, this article has been left on hold for over two weeks since you asked for "some more time," so I will sadly have to ✗ Fail it. --Kyle Peake (talk) 10:27, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Kyle Peake: Hi, I tried to fix all the mentioned issues, and added some content. I'll be thankful if you check the article once again and tell me to fix the remaining issues that I missed. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 14:59, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

  • "United Kingdom, and" → "the United Kingdom, and"
  • "was also recorded under" → "was recorded under"

  • You should mention at least one of the live performances directly before the video info, plus use "the original version" here

  • Mention the writers and producers here, as everything in the lead needs to be written out in the body
  • "Then it was released" → "Thereafter, the song was released" and shouldn't you be more specific than the markets, while following [6] still?
  • "It was included as the first track on" → ""She Bangs" was included as the first track on Martin's sixth studio album Sound Loaded"

Composition and lyrics

[edit]

  • "and explodes. She" → "and explodes [...] She" per the source

  • "the song "glamorous"" → "the song "clamorous"" per the source

References

[edit]
  • Copyvio score looks decent at 32.0%
  • Make sure all of these are archived by using the tool
  • Ref 1 needs to cite the original URL too
  • Ditto for ref 2, plus the archive does not seem to work for me
  • Pipe Billboard to Billboard (magazine) and Nielsen Business Media to Nielsen Holdings on ref 4
  • Remove pipe on Billboard for ref 6
  • Middle names should be cited directly after the first ones for refs 15 and 19
  • Change MTV to MTV News on ref 20, citing as publisher instead
  • WP:OVERLINK of Nielsen Business Media on ref 44
  • If ref 52 is a dead link then it can be kept per the GA guidelines, but is this really the case or is it the wrong URL? Also, remove the publisher.
  • Pipe Terra Networks to Terra (company) on ref 53
  • Remove or replace ref 56 per WP:RSP
  • Ref 57 and ref 51 are duplicates
  • WP:OVERLINK of Univision on ref 61
  • Wikilink Daily Mirror on ref 64
  • Ref 70 should be dated in 2008 not 2006
  • WP:OVERLINK of Entertainment Weekly on ref 72
  • Remove or replace ref 79 since it is unreliable, as looking at the URL cited from 2004 and scrolling through the homepage of current articles shows literally the same author for all of them, plus this looks like a gossip site
  • Remove ref 111 since AllMusic is not reliable for peaks
  • Pipe Fundación Autor-SGAE to Sociedad General de Autores y Editores on ref 116, unless that is not the correct article
[edit]
  • Good

Final comments and verdict

[edit]
  • آرمین هویدایی ✓ Pass now, I did make a fix where you had not listed the full stage name for the second mention of one of the songwriters. It is a great contrast for me to have gone from the failure of the first review to this one's pass; I'm sure the original nominators will be so proud of you and me somewhat too!!! --K.

Credits and personnel

[edit]

Are these the credits for this one song, or for the entire album? There were really 30 production staff for one song?? Martinevans123 (talk) 14:28, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
