My first review for any of you in quite some time; this will start today! --K. Peake 08:32, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Cover art caption is not appropriate, as the US release is not called a maxi single anywhere
• Wikilink as samba
• Use bullet points instead for labels per Template:Infobox song
• Wikilink as Draco Rosa
• Shouldn't you write English title as "the Bomb" per the body's stylization?
• Wikilink as Draco Rosa
• "was handled by Porter and Rosa." → "was handled by the latter two." plus this needs to be written out in the body
• Wikilink as samba
• "the music which makes" → "the music that makes"
• Remove comma after rhythm of the dance
• "its danceable rhythm and was highlighted as" → "the danceable rhythm and highlighted it as"
• Pipe Premios Eres to Revista ERES
• "It depicts Martin" → "It shows Martin" to be less repetitive
• "The track was included on" → "The song was included on" and add at the end of the sentence, "while he also performed it..." mentioning other notable performance(s)

Background and composition

• It is fine mentioning the chorus without a source on the audio sample text, but you need to source a melody of the song in prose

• Isn't [10] enough for that, it has described the song as "an uptempo dance track". آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:23, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

• Remove comma after third studio album
• "his record label executives" → "the executives at his record label" then writing the name of his label
• If not every country in South America has a record chart, then write "all South American countries with record charts" instead

• I changed it to "number one in 20 countries" and added another reference for it. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:38, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

• This is a sufficient replacement --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

• "had sold over" → "has sold over"
• The first three sentences of the second paragraph should be merged with the above one per them being background
• Should it be "was" or "is" going before the quote, as maybe the tense should be consistent?
• "The album consisting mainly" → "The album consists mainly"
• Wikilink Spanish language

• I'm sorry but per MOS:OVERLINK, I think languages should not be linked. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:38, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

• Wikilink as samba
• "the Dallas Morning News editor Mario Tarradell also echoed." → "The Dallas Morning News editor Mario Tarradell echoed."
• Shouldn't the writing sentence also mention production credits?
• [17] should be solely at the end of the translated title sentence instead
• Pipe to Bomba (Puerto Rico) should only be on "of the same name"
• The piano part is to do with the music, so should come directly before the writing sentence

•  Done--آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:38, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Release and promotion

• Img looks good!
• "was released as" → "was released on CD as" with the pipe
• "fourth studio album, Vuelve, released February" → "fourth studio album Vuelve on February"
• "was released in the United States, by" → "was released in the US by" per MOS:US
• "The music video was filmed in April 1998" → "The song's music video was filmed during April 1998" with the wikilink
• "The visual, also includes a" → "At the beginning of the visual, he appears in a"
• "It was later included" → "The clip was later included"
• Wikilink compilation albums
• Remove the view count since YouTube is constantly updating; you need a source writing it out for verification

•  Done--آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:43, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Critical reception

• Newsday review should be in the same sentence as Los 40, using the connective while
• "the album's highlights as did the" → "the album's highlights, as did"
• You do not need to write the before Newsday critic
• "citing the song's lyrics to" → "citing how the song's lyrics"
• "the time, when drinks" → "the time when drinks"
• "saying like it is suggested by the song's title, the track is," → "saying like the title suggests, it is,"
• "acknowledged it as one" → "acknowledged the song as one"
• "from Los Angeles Times described the song as" → "from the Los Angeles Times described it as"

•  Done--آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:50, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Accolades

• "on the list of" → "on a list of"
• "listed it among" → "listed the track among"

•  Done--آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:50, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

• Shouldn't you write Premios Eres? Either way, pipe to Revista ERES.

• "Premios" literally means "awards" in Spanish. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:50, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

• I did not look into that so thanks for letting me know, also good job on solely implementing the second suggestion here. --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Commercial performance

• "Central American countries including" → "Central American countries, including"
• "it peaked at numbers" → "the song peaked at numbers"
• Does [47] back up all of that sentence and the previous one?

• Yes, all three charts were in one page in the magazine.آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:52, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

• Pipe on Spanish-speaking countries is not necessary here, as this text is about countries that don't speak it

•  Done--آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:52, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Live performances and appearances in media

• Img looks good!
• The source does not mention the Vuelve Tour, plus should this really be surrounded by speech marks?
• The list of tours is a bit excess for ones following "including"; maybe find a source stating that he performed it on all of his tours and then add notable ones after including?

  Unfortunately, I couldn't find a specific source citing that.آرمین هویدایی (talk) 12:12, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

  Good on you to maintain intergrity and not add OR; this reads smoothly without the usage of "including" now! --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

• "as part of his" → "as part of Martin's"
• Change Miami, Florida to Miami with no wikilink
• The source does not mention the tour being used for promotion of MTV Unplugged
• "danced to it on" → "did the same on"
• Add the release years of the songs in brackets
• ""Livin' la Vida Loca, to" → ""Livin' la Vida Loca" to"

•  Done--آرمین هویدایی (talk) 12:12, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Formats and track listings

• No Australian CD or European 12-inch singles are sourced

• The source 19 backs up 😶 The section Tracks include the track listing and formats. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 12:16, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

• Oh thanks, I must have missed that --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

• Good

Release history

• Make the rowspan 2 for Columbia Records

Final comments and verdict

@Kyle Peake: Thank you so much for devoting your time on it. It is always an honor for me to have my nominated-articles reviewed by you. I fixed all the issues, I hope I haven't missed anything. If I had, please tell me to fix it. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 12:32, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

@آرمین هویدایی: ✓ Pass now, that was quick and you provided proper reasons not to implement certain changes; congratulations to both you and Magiciandude on getting this into GA status! --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

La bomba

I thought the song appeared in the late’50s 76.122.226.93 (talk) 14:23, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

That's La Bamba (song), and this is not a forum. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 16:32, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
