# Talk:Medellín (song)

Here is a link for Billboard Biz website where they have countries not yet listed here: https://www.billboard.com/biz/search/charts?f%5B0%5D=ts_chart_artistname%3AMadonna&f%5B1%5D=itm_field_chart_id%3A-&f%5B2%5D=ds_chart_date%3A%5B2019-04-30T04%3A00%3A00Z+TO+2019-05-08T04%3A00%3A00Z%5D&f%5B3%5D=ss_bb_type%3Achart_item&type=2&artist=Madonna&date=2019-05-04&fbclid=IwAR21Y7vL0AMc2gxdwpLSj_lV9-8Zjx8TLX3TPPoPZ5oZ9FGd6qV8ryrqZ1k
Since some US and other countries airplay charts were included I think UK Airplay Chart compiled by RadioMonitor should be also included since the song is #20, one of Madonna's best airplay chart place in UK in a long time.

Why no include the UK Official Singles Sales Chart? That´s the only one comparable to the charts previous to introducing of streaming (as the Official Charts Company says on their articles).
Here is the link:

Also the link to UK Official Download Chart (as its more important in a way that tracks sales and not popularity): https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-downloads-chart/
The 3 number 1's this song already got at Billboard that extended Madona's record as artist with most #01's at Billboard charts:

Why not include that it is #1 in LATIN DIGITAL SONG SALES?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.28.98.251 (talk) 01:52, 25 April 2019 (UTC) 
important information is removed, saying that it is unnecessary information [1] ....."The song is named after the Medellín  is the second-largest city in Colombia, the city where Maluma was born".  If the problem is the writing, it could help to correcting.Roboting (talk) 19:23, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Johnnyboytoy   Correting...The song bears the name of Medellin, the second largest city in Colombia, the city where Maluma was born. Roboting (talk) 19:39, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
The fact that it is the second largest city in Colombia is absolutely unimportant once the reason it is called Medellin is due to the fact that Maluma was born there, it has nothing to do whatsoever with its size, also you havenn't provided any reference to the statement. PS: You've already been reported. Johnnyboytoy (talk) 19:50, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
It is not necessary to place reference. If you do not know anything about Colombia, I think you should investigate before commenting.Roboting (talk) 19:57, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
He clarified that there is no vandalism in my editions [2]Roboting (talk) 20:03, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Johnnyboytoy I have added the reference.Roboting (talk) 20:11, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
The point is NOT the referece, it is the fact that it's not named Medellín after the size of the city, but because it is Maluma's birth place. Its size is totally unimportant. Johnnyboytoy (talk) 20:31, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

The vandal is you Johnnyboytoy.Roboting (talk) 22:14, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
the city and country is specified.Roboting (talk) 22:28, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

### Final comments and verdict
 On hold until the issues are fixed, though do not feel afraid to question me over any issues with implementing the changes if I have suggested things that may not be correct. --K. Peake 17:42, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
Kyle Peake I have addressed almost all issues, see above. Alex reach me! 17:44, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
11JORN Thanks for that, the issues with MOS:TABLECAPTION are where you have not added captions to tables like they should be; take a look at recently passed-GA songs to understand what this is. As for any cases where I put ditto, that meant to do the same as the change suggested above. --K. Peake 17:52, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
11JORN It has been sometime and you have still not responded, but the article is very close to meeting the criteria; will you make the fix soon? --K. Peake 07:43, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
Kyle Peake Hello! The user hasn't been active for quite some time so I hope it's not a problem if I jump on this to solve the few remaining issues, I don't want this article to be failed due to inactivity. I added the captions as per MOS:TABLECAPTION, and the last issue was a ref that violated WP:SELFPUB. Could you please point once again what it was? Because they were switched. - Gabrielflorin01 (talk) 08:36, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
Gabrielflorin01 Yeah I was thinking that about the inactivity too; this can pass if you fix it and the Engadget ref is the WP:SELFPUB violation in question above. Thanks for showing commitment to taking over, that's useful. --K. Peake 09:14, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
Replaced the ref with another. Unfortunately, I had to remove some info as it was some sort of exclusive interview and there's no other source to cover it. - Gabrielflorin01 (talk) 10:12, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
Gabrielflorin01 Thanks a lot,  Pass time has come! --K. Peake 20:32, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
