### Lead
Usually, if there is a translation (there is), we place it in the lead in bold next to the title, so readers know what it means right at the top.  Done Jivesh   • Talk2Me 13:35, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm not sure I would consider Knowles a singer-songwriter. She might be singer and a songwriter, meaning she occasionally writes some music in her songs, but a singer-songwriter is someone that writes and composes all of their own material, McCartney, Lennon, Carey, Dylan, Morissette etc. I highly doubt she does that.

If you weren't the great singer you are, than this would be impossible." -> what does being a good singer have to do with language pronunciation?  Removed Jivesh   • Talk2Me 13:35, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Also, the titles should just be Background and recording, not single selection, that doesn't have part here.

I need help here. Jivesh   • Talk2Me 13:35, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
hints of flamenco-pop as strong lyrics dominate the entire track _> flamenco has nothing to do with "strong lyrics"  Done Jivesh   • Talk2Me 13:35, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
hints of pop music for which Knowles is generally known -> A). You said she' known for her R&B B). She does nothing to the song to add pop. I don't say Mariah Carey adds Latin infusion to "My All", I say the Latin percussion and guitar arpeggios do  Done Jivesh   • Talk2Me 13:35, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

described as a "commercial pop to the hilt" -> by who?  Removed Jivesh   • Talk2Me 13:35, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
All these quotes need attribution  Done Jivesh   • Talk2Me 13:35, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

off of -> from  Done Jivesh   • Talk2Me 13:42, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
commented on the additional writing and production on the song as over-bearing in a positive way. -> c/e  Done Jivesh   • Talk2Me 13:42, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
From Walmart? -> This is not a high quality review. We need newspaper articles and magazines, not some employee from Walmart  Removed Jivesh   • Talk2Me 13:42, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
I don't know about these Rhapsody and Amazon reviews, I doubt these are high quality for GA  Removed Jivesh   • Talk2Me 13:42, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
strong Latin demographic -> doesn't make sense, the US is like 18 percent Latin  Done Jivesh   • Talk2Me 13:42, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Premio amigo 2007, "Amor Gitano" won two categories: Premio amigo a la canción and Tono más descargado para celular. [1]


### Charts
Should have sources for both certifications  Done Jivesh   • Talk2Me 13:44, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Also, there are quite a few dead links
One fixed by Novice. The two other were working some days ago. What should i do? Jivesh   • Talk2Me 13:44, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Let me know when you're done the fixes.--CallMeNathan  • Talk2Me  21:35, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm sorry to butt in middle of the a review, but this song did not reach number-one on the Hot Latin Songs chart. It does not appear in any of the lists of number-one Latin Songs nor on Allmusic. In fact, it did not chart on the Latin Songs at at all. Instead, it reached number twenty-three on the Latin Pop Songs chart. Source. Magiciandude (talk) 04:56, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
But i have also sourced the chart position. Wait i will verify in Billboard archive. Jivesh   • Talk2Me 07:45, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Jivesh, what Billboard says definitely overrules Walmart. Adabow (talk · contribs) 07:48, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
I removed it. Jivesh   • Talk2Me 12:09, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
That's fine now. I'm passing it.--CallMeNathan  • Talk2Me  16:52, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
