Selena albums discography

Nominator(s): Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 00:02, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because it has gone through a copy-edit, a peer review, and had received feedback from three other users. If there are any more issues, I'll address them. Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 00:02, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay Jona, concerning Selena's discography, the first refernence absolutely needs to be fixed, and also the infobox colors for the remix albums and box sets should be different from one another, and each other for that matter. Other than that, not too bad! Best, --Discographer (talk) 00:39, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. I fixed the 1st ref, however, the colors I used won't change :/ Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 00:54, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed the colors.

Just a few comments for now, I will add some more later.
Remix albums ARE compilation albums. Compilation albums insist of greatest hits, remix albums, etc.

Just going to echo something that was mentioned in my FL for JLO's discography: there is isn't really a need for the taglines on the table, unless they give additional information that is not supplied. If you so wish to keep them (which I believe would be your preference) at least expand on them more. "List of albums, with selected chart positions" I also see sales and certifications.
- I'm not getting what you mean lolz? Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 19:47, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- So instead of "List of albums, with selected chart positions" it is more accurate to say "List of albums, with selected chart positions, sales and certifications". — Status {^talk_contribs 22:34, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Done. Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 22:39, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Throughout the entire article. ;) — Status {^talk_contribs 22:45, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For the certification, how about using "RIAA Latin" instead, or at least make the "Latin" smaller than the rest.
- Done. Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 19:47, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No need to say "standard" in the certifications. Differences is denoted by "latin".
- Done. Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 19:47, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This is just a suggestion, but I think if you set the article up like Madonna albums discography it would be much better. Selena seems to have a lot of compilations, most of which were released after her death. "Limited releases" isn't the right title, but maybe "Other releases" or "Minor releases" would do, as they aren't really part of her main discography.
- Done. Jonayo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 19:47, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - My two cents on this: is "Minor releases" really the correct title? In my opinion, an album that's charted at number one on multiple charts isn't a "minor release". In reality, I don't see why the sections are needed. I understand it's needed for Madonna's article because she has several, several limited releases. However, for Selena, is it really necessary to separate four albums from nearly 30?

The infobox says 5 boxsets, I only see 3.

Why is there no image featured in the infobox?
- There's no free image of her. Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 22:51, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - You can't use the one on her main article? — Status {^talk_contribs 22:57, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - No non-free files are not allowed. Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 23:46, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Title should be "Selena albums discography" in the infobox.
- There's no way of changing it lolz. Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 22:51, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Just add "albums" to the end of Selena. That's how we do it. — Status {^talk_contribs 22:57, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Done. Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 23:46, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - suggest a decent copyedit before nominating. Still too many prose issues for me. Suggest you withdraw and ask WP:GOCE to have a look, or WP:PR (e.g. " which had beat audience records raging from Tejano vocalist to country stars in " this clearly has not be copyedited to a reasonable standard.)

Some quick, quick notes from the first two paras of the lead.

" five box sets" - says three in the infobox.

Done Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 00:22, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Our own article calls it "Ven Conmigo", not "Ven conmigo", should be consistent.

According to WP:ALBUMCAPS for Spanish titles, it should be spelled Ven conmigo not Ven Conmigo. This was just made a rule recently, as the article was created several years ago. Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 19:24, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but instead of using a project guideline, I tend to rely on reliable sources such as Allmusic, Billboard, MTV.com etc. Suggest you and the music project do the same. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:29, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"and became the first to" -> "first artist"

Done Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 00:22, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) by a Tejano vocalist" ... "by... by..." confusing.

Done Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 00:22, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"her extensive touring and relationship woes with Chris Pérez" reads poorly and a bit tabloid ("relationship woes").

Done Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 00:22, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Within a month of her elopement," what "elopement"?

Done Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 00:22, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These Latin album names etc are all over the place with capitalisation issues. Needs some serious work.

Done Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 00:22, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"certified six-times-platinum, Latin type, by" what does "Latin type" mean?

It's a Spanish certification, not a standard certification --> 1x Gold (standard) is 500,000 shipments whereas 1x Gold (Latin type) is 50,000 shipments. Plus it is wikilinked at it's first occurrence just in case if anyone don't understand. Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 00:22, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"later as Live!. " one too many periods.

Done Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 00:22, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

" 6× platinum (Latin type)" again, no real clue what "Latin type" here means, and would prefer six-times since it's prose.

Done Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 00:22, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Should clarify the the Top Latin Charts are actually Billboard charts.

Done Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 00:22, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"and she became the second " no, you just talked about her album, not her, so you can't just say "and she..." you need to reiterate Selena.

Comments

I think the discography should include Baila Esta Cumbia (1992) and Quiero... (1993), two compilation albums released in Mexico that were the first releases by Selena in the country, and Mexico was her second biggest market.
- Those albums promote her as "Y Los Dinos", this discography is only her solo career (first para states this). Best, Jona yo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 19:24, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Tracklisting for Baila Esta Cumbia: Baila Esta Cumbia, Cariño, Cariño Mío, Como La Flor, Terco Corazón, Quiero Ser, Contigo Quiero Estar, Ya Ves, La Carcacha, Ven Conmigo, Yo Te Amo, Siempre.
Tracklisting for Quiero...: Siempre Estoy Pensando En Ti, No Debes Jugar, Yo Me Voy, Las Cadenas, Que Creías, Yo Te Sigo Queriendo, La Llamada, Si La Quieres, Tu Robaste Mi Corazón, Quiero.
