# Talk:Dreaming of You (Selena album)

From "Pre-production"; disjointed and off-topic: "A movement in Texas which helped spread further awareness of Tejano music and it becoming a popular trend. "
From "Production"; this seems to belong to another article, or section within this article: "Her sister Suzette Quintanilla stated that she would take a very long time before deciding if a song represented what "Selena was all about"; however, SBK Records controlled the entire project and allowed her to choose only one song.

### July 2015
Hispanics reacted negatively to the news of her death, which was compared to the reactions following the deaths of John Lennon, Elvis Presley, and U.S. president John F. Kennedy.

In the lead the album is listed as both "the fifth and final studio album by American singer Selena. Released posthumously [...]" and "among the top ten best-selling debuts for a musician, best-selling debut by a female act [...]". I think this needs to be reconciled, as it doesn't make any sense. 99.225.139.21 (talk) 15:16, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

This album was a crossover album into English (her first supposed-to-be English album) so Billboard named it among those merits for Dreaming of You as being her debut English album. Best, jona(talk) 19:32, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

@Tassedethe: Why change the article's title to include Selena album if no other article of an album with the same title currently exists? – jona ✉ 19:44, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Because Dreaming of You (Juris album) exists. Tassedethe (talk) 22:47, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
You mean the same title and song that are cover versions of this album? It's unwarranted and no one would mistaken this album over her album. – jona ✉ 23:34, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
It's a different artist, year, country and, apart from the cover version, track listing. These are completely different albums and as such need to be disambiguated unambiguously per WP:ALBUMDAB. Tassedethe (talk) 23:56, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

I made an edit that removed the "posthumously" term from the release date since Selena was murdered on March 1995 and the album was stated to be released on January, despite there also being a mention of the album having a national release in the United States in July that same year. I'm also confused by the line "Recording sessions for Dreaming of You began in January 1995" and that the album was unfinished by the end of March. The lead paragraphs do not have a clear intention of what was and wasn't done during when, regardless of whether Selena was alive during the album's development. I'm asking for clarification and hopefully some things in the lead paragraphs can receive a revision. Carlinal (talk) 02:19, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello. The album was actually released in July 1995 and not January 1995. An IP user [1] decided to change the dates to various albums. I have reverted their edits. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 19:48, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Legogue I understand you may still be learning how Wikipedia works, so I want to avoid an edit war and instead discuss your recent removal of sourced content. In your edit summary, you described the information in the lead as "irrelevant", however, the lead is intended to summarize key points of the article. Your revision states that "Selena primarily collaborated with producers", but the body explains that she freely interpreted Spanish phrases into songs. This contrasts with A.B. resisting the label's control over song choices, the label telling Selena to limit her usage of Spanish lyrics, the label permitting Selena to select only one track, and Selena's biographer writing that the singer conform to the market rather than changing it. Your version gives the impression she was equally involved in production, which is not accurate. You also added: "alongside songwriting by Diane Warren, and a duet with David Byrne of the Talking Heads." This phrasing suggests Selena collaborated directly with Warren, which the articles does not support. Additionally, Byrne's former band affiliation is not necessary in the lead. 
The body currently contains some unsourced sentences, which is not acceptable for a Good Article. If you are removing sourced content, please ensure that the remaining material is properly cited. Right now, there are multiple Harv error warnings in the citations section because sources were deleted without also removing the corresponding entries. This leaves the article in a messy state for others to clean up. You wrote: "Info related to life can be found on Selena Quintanilla/wiki. Information should be strictly album related." Could you clarify which specific content you removed here is duplicated on Selena's main page? Additionally, the sources, particularly in the background, development, production, recording, and reception sections, frame the album in relation to her early career and her death, which are also reflected in her film and Netflix series. Excluding this context under a "strictly album related" standard contradicts what sources actually say and risks distorting the article into someone's point of view. While I do agree with you that the lead is too long and could use trimming, I believe your removals are problematic, and I would like to better understand your perspective so we can work toward improving the article collaboratively.

Pinging Esszed and Brianda (Wiki Ed) for their help since Legogue has not responded. – jona ✉ 22:15, 22 September 2025 (UTC)
@AJona1992, Thanks for reaching out. This user is no longer a student with our project, and seems to be editing out of their own accord. I think it'd be fine to reinstate the information that was removed with the last edit.
@Legogue, large impact edits like the ones you made are typically discussed on the talk page before making them, especially when it comes to sourced content. This article is a Good article and a lot of work goes into getting them to this point. It's been a while since it was rated as a GA, so I am sure productive edits could be made to maintain the article at this standard, but it's always best to discuss large edits on the talk page. I encourage you to engage in this discussion.  Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:50, 22 September 2025 (UTC)
Brianda (Wiki Ed) Thanks for your reply and clarification, I'll wait a few days for Legogue to respond since it was a sizeable removal and his input is definitely welcome. Best – jona ✉ 16:54, 24 September 2025 (UTC)
Hello @AJona1992, I understand your concern related to my edits. Though my edits weren't necessarily adding information, mores were a recollection or wording of already instated text, I understand how it could come across as uncited or unreliable. Pinging my previous Wiki Ed. instructor was not necessary. My edits towards the page were to make the information more concise, not to engage in an editing war. I appreciate your collaboration and understand your factual concern. I've reinstated your edit.  Legogue (talk) 02:48, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
Legogue I don't believe I was concerned about adding content, but about the removal of sourced material, removing references, and removing references without also removing the cited information from the subsection to avoid Harv errors. I appreciate your efforts to improve the article, but your revisions felt more like removing content for its own sake, leaving out important information, and suggesting it was already covered in the main article, which is not the case. I only contacted your instructors because I hadn't heard back from you for several days and wanted to resolve the issue. I did trim the lead, since we both agreed on that, but if you think it or other sections of this article still need work, please share your thoughts here. Collaboration is the best way forward, so we can build on each other's perspectives. Best, – jona ✉ 16:31, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
