The death has been confirmed by Univision. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oriole7 (talk • contribs) 21:49, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

@Oriole7:, They, like all the media sites, have only referenced Joaquín López Dóriga, a reporter from Televisa, that he has deceased. There is no confirmation from his family or record label to confirm this. Please see the Juan Gabriel talk page. Erick (talk) 21:51, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

I dont know if this counts, but the Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto has confirmed his death http://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2016/08/28/muere-el-cantante-mexicano-juan-gabriel/ .--Jeff vader (talk) 22:04, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

@Jeff vader: His death has not been confirmed by either his family or record label. Please see the talk page on Juan Gabriel. Erick (talk) 22:07, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

I wanted to know why do live albums and compilation albums get the shaft if an artists dies. if this occurs then what's the point in making articles for those albums. Sc30002001 (talk) 04:42, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

@

MOS:MUSIC: "If the discography of an artist, group or work becomes disproportionately large in relation to the rest of the article, it should be split into a subpage list (preferably titled "<Name> discography").". I've been meaning to make a discography page for Juan Gabriel for a long time, but I never had the time to do it. So that's why I've just moved the rest of his albums there. Erick (talk

Hi Erick, the editor Prensa colombiana (subtle username!) has recently created the above article, and you might want to take a look at it, as it falls under your interests of Latin music. The guy may well pass notability judging by the people he's worked with, but the article as it stands has major problems – it's almost entirely copyvio from the two main sources cited in the references section, the MTV bio and the bio on Gon-Bops artists' website. In addition it seems that Prensa colombiana has a COI, judging by this edit made over 18 months ago... coincidentally about the same subject when the article for creation had been declined. ;-) Richard3120 (talk) 22:38, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

@Richard3120: It's definitely COI. And on a side note, I checked to see if he has won or have been nominated a Latin Grammy Award, and found nothing. I have never heard of this guy before. Erick (talk) 23:22, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

No, I hadn't either, which is why I thought I'd better see if you knew anything more than I did. I'm sure it's just promotional material and can probably be put up for deletion. The videos on his official YouTube channel like this one calls him a "Grammy Award winner" but in my experience that can often mean the most tenuous connection, and not a direct award winner. Richard3120 (talk) 23:28, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Some of the Grammy categories do also give the awards to the engineers/producers, but without knowing what category it's talking about, I call that claim rubbish. Erick (talk) 23:30, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

I'm wondering if it's for the soundtrack to The Dark Knight, which did win a Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media, and according to his bio Calderon was part of the edit team for the soundtrack. But Hans Zimmer won that award, not him as a backroom boy. Richard3120 (talk) 23:32, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Well if the article about it is to be trusted: "Until 2001, the award was presented to the composer of the music alone. From 2001 to 2006, the producer and engineers shared in this award. In 2007, the award reverted to a composer-only award." So, yeah it's as you say, it would not have gone to him at all. Erick (talk) 23:35, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

On 30 August 2016, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Juan Gabriel, which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:20, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Hey Magiciandude!! Would you mind checking this out and perhaps leaving some comments? It would be much appreciated. Thank you so much! Carbrera (talk) 02:53, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Hey again. I realized I just asked you for the previous favor, but could you also take a look at the featured article candidate for "Make Me Like You" by Gwen Stefani? It would mean the world to me as I'm willing to do anything for it to meet the required criteria. Thanks so much! Carbrera (talk) 22:08, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

@Carbrera: Sure thing. It might take a while for me to comment, but I'll do it. Erick (talk) 17:28, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

@Carbrera: Let me know when you have resolved Benderlite's comments so that I can give my support as well. Erick (talk) 20:06, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

I fixed his initial comments, which are you welcome to read. Thanks so much, this means a lot to me. Carbrera (talk) 00:28, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

• @Worldbruce: Hey Bruce! I sent you another e-mail for another request, this time for the article Nada Es Igual (Luis Miguel album). I've listed the request sources on the RX page. Thanks again for your help! Erick (talk) 23:08, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

NewsBank probably has some of what you're looking for. I don't have access to it at home or through a local library, only from a more distant location that I visit about once every month or two. There's a chance that I'll be back there this Sunday, in which case I'd be happy to help, but if not then it will probably be other volunteers who fill your request. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:57, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi. The

Hi Erick – do you use this website often for referring to Mexican chart positions and certifications? I'm trying to check a supposed gold certification for a Mexican record, but the website doesn't seem to want to load at all. Richard3120 (talk) 21:21, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

@Richard3120: Yes I do, but it only dates back to 1999. What is the record you are trying to verify? Erick (talk) 21:23, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

It's Sinfónico (El Tri album), which has recently been created – the certification seems to be the only thing notable about the album, otherwise it appears to be AfD material. It was released in 1999, so it should be on the AMPROFON database. Richard3120 (talk) 21:32, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

@Richard3120: If you have trouble accessing the AMPROFON website, try their Facebook page. They have all certifications posted their as well. I looked at the article's history and saw that Zidane tribal was the one who added. That user is someone that who I know of and trust in good faith. Erick (talk) 22:15, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your help Erick – I think the website must have been down when I tried it earlier, because it works fine now. And I found the gold certification for the album, so it should pass notability now... the article needs a lot of improving though! Richard3120 (talk) 01:10, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello:

The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article

You will notice that I archived one of the article’s citations (#2). I suggest that you archive the rest of the article’s URLs as time allows. This ensures that the article's references are available "forever" and that it doesn’t develop “dead links” over time. The site I use is https://archive.org/web/. Simply copy the URL in the citation and paste it in the “Save Page Now” box on the archive.org site and click save. This creates a copy of the original page and provides you with a new URL to add to the original citation. If you look at the URL I've archived you'll see the syntax. You add the new URL to the end of the original citation like this: |archiveurl=http etc|archivedate=26 October 2016}}. Not all websites allow archiving - CBS TV news and the NY Times are two I've come across, so there's not much you can do about that unless there is an alternate citation you could use.

Unless I'm missing something, when I went to check the quote in this sentence: "AllMusic editor Jose F. Promis, who gave the album 2.5 out of five stars, felt the recording was "basically middle-of-the-road, romance-themed music, which is what his legions of fans have come to expect" and called the album's ballads "requisite".[7] it is not supported by citation #7

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Regards,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 21:37, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

@Twofingered Typist: Thanks! I usually archive the articles as soon as use them in Wikipedia as backup. Could you elaborate more on citation #7? Maybe it's poor wording on my part. Erick (talk) 21:40, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry - ignore the reference to the citation - I completely missed it!! I have made a minor change in the sentence to improve the flow. Cheers - Twofingered Typist (talk) 11:37, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

@Twofingered Typist: That's alright. I want to thank you again, you've been a great help! Erick (talk) 11:39, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello Erick I wanted to come to you because I noticed Fun dude took Los Mismos off of Marco Antonio Solis' acts I tried to explain to him that Los Mismos are associated with Marco due to having been Los Bukis and that's where Los Mismos were born even though two original members are missing. He claims that because he's never worked with them they shouldn't be on there Wikipedia is a public place where anyone can it so I try not to voice or change any editing. I wanted to get your take on this matter so that Los Mismos can be restored thank you.Sc30002001 (talk) 20:24, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

@Sc30002001: Fundude99 is right. Even if they were former Los Bukis members, Marco Antonio Solis doesn't go on the associated acts for Los Mismos because the group has not made several collaborations with Solis under that name. Erick (talk) 00:00, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Hey. I added tha tag because the band is from Argentina and their songs are sung in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Karst (talk) 13:40, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

@Karst: Ok, their discography made it look like they only sing in English. Thanks for the clarification. Erick (talk) 13:45, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

I am assuming that you aren't really asking me to footnote the importance of rock music.

Please let me know if I am making a mistake in thinking that ;) If you just mean that the article needs references, yea, that's true that individual statements, or inclusion of certain bands, should have a reference, and ok. I noticed that almost all of the bands on the list had es.wikipedia pages but none in english, so I got caught up in some band article translations. I'll make sure I do this shortly.

I just noticed that I forgot to tag this as a translation, but that is what it is -- a fairly accurate portrait of the es.wikipedia article. My bad, I should have tagged it. But a lot of translations are like this, and normally we translate them *then* do the references or weight or fact-checking or whatever, just so you know. I have not done anything with the tagging, but I think you should take off the one that says the article is promotional. Maybe lay off the expresso.

Also, the category is "rock en espagnol" not "Spanish rock"; in this context "Spanish" means "from Spain". Or alternately you could do "Spanish-language music" but usually it's better to be more rather than less specific. I am changing this one for you. Elinruby (talk) 08:54, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

PS based on some of the other entries it seems to me you may have thoughts on the article topic; please do feel free to make any specific suggestions you may have. I don't claim expertise in the topic and would like to do it justice. Meanwhile, unless you want to discuss something about this I plan to take the promotional tag off in a couple/three days if I don't hear from you, and the references one after 5-6 references get added. Oh and I'll get a translated template on there, need one of those no matter what Elinruby (talk) 09:13, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello Erick I am writing to you because I would like for your to examine Juan Gabriel's studio album. someone put Por Los Siglos in there and later stated it's a compilation album. things like this put me on the verge because I run back and forth and never fully find out which album is what. Right now it's at 31 but now im unsure if its correct. Thanks. --Sc30002001 (talk) 02:40, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

@Sc30002001: Could you please clarify your request for me? I'm honestly not sure what you're asking. Erick (talk) 02:49, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

• Could you take a look at Juan Gabriel's studio albums and make sure they are the right ones. albums have been added and they not might be in the correct order. The album Por los siglos is marked as a studio album but the headline says compilation album. Everytime some one adds a new album they don't fix the album order so in my free time I go and correct the mistakes.--47.202.27.147 (talk) 03:36, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

I have done a lot of work and you and I started off badly but I learned how to ceeate and read the rules. Now you are back and delete without discussion first, my album page. I disagree, leave my reason on the talk page and rather than respond, you delete again and all of a sudden your editor friends show up and start attacking all my pages, even to the point of telling you I reverted the edit...thought you should know and you responding with an old argument we had as though you were the injured party. I am not standing by, based on Wikipedia principles for article creation and work I've done I won't have one person insist on attacking me and the work. It has become too obvious. There is no reason, the goal is to boost the knowledge of Latin artists but no one does it as well as you. So would you prefer no one help? You do not foster a community environment, remember we are all volunteers. SusanneSC (talk) 23:36, 6 December 2016 (UTC)SusanneSC

So I'm creating an article for Natalia Jimenez' new tribute album to Jenni Rivera. But I have a question, so most of the songs on the album were recorded by Rivera and released by other artists in the past. But since Jimenez says Jenni made them famous, I've gotten a bit confused. In the Recordings section

@Fundude99: That's a good question. Because most tribute albums don't include covers of covers (if you know what I mean.) From my point of view, I think you could mention that while Rivera wasn't the original artists for some of those songs, she made them famous. @AJona1992: Pinging Jona for his thoughts. Erick (talk) 17:09, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

So you're saying just to include her recordings (and not mention the original artist) but also mention she wasn't the original artist for some songs?—Fundude99^{talk to me} 17:20, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

@Fundude99: I think you could mention a few as examples, maybe? I worked on Viva el Príncipe a few years ago and that's the only reference I think of as far as Latin albums go. I'd try to see if there's any tribute albums that are GA or FA on Wikipedia that may or may not have "covers of covers". Erick (talk) 17:25, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Alright, thanks.—Fundude99^{talk to me} 17:22, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Magiciandude,

Thank you for your help. I am new on Wikipedia and just trying to contribute. I hope this is the write space to message you. I was trying to upload a picture of Emanuela Bellezza and Juanes performing at the MTV Unplugged, but is was removed. Is there a license I need to obtain to upload it?
