An aerial performance of Regine Velasquez at the R2K concert
An aerial performance of Regine Velasquez at the R2K concert

  • The article is new enough, has no unsourced claims or any issues otherwise, AGF about the Tagalog source and video. I do think the hook could be shorter so I would suggest ALT1.--NØ 10:07, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that Regine Velasquez's aerial performance (pictured) during R2K: The Concert was inspired by the opening segment of Paula Abdul's Under My Spell Tour? Source: February 19, 2019. " Regine Velasquez-Alcasid looks back on her R2K concert".'Jeepney TV interview (in Tagalog) – via YouTube. 00:05 minutes in. Translation "I saw Paula Abdul’s concert and she was flying [with wires], it was at the Folk Arts Theater, and I was so impressed, so I told myself, I’ll do that too"; Long, Ernie. (August 2, 1992). Paula Abdul's show, short but spellbinding. "She began the event singing the title song to her recent hit album "Spellbound" by being pulled from beneath the stage to the top of the stage by wires"

Copyedit request

Hey Pseud 14, doing my thing as usual here:

  • Announced in January, and held during two consecutive nights in April 2000 at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, the concerts were part of Velasquez's campaign in support of her tenth studio album R2K (1999). Looking at the concert synopsis, was it just the same concert being performed twice? The subject seems to be about one concert rather an actual series.Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 19:49, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
  • Actually your right, I was ambivalent on whether to treat as one or not. Should just be treated as singlar then.
  • Agree with above to be treated as singular.
  • Concert synopsis: This seems too detailed, especially with all the costume changes. Unless there's something notable about costume pieces, I think those can be omitted.Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 19:49, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
  • I've made a few edits to remove the costume changes that are not necessary. But feel free to edit as you find fit.
  • In retrospect, Elvin Luciano from CNN Philippines called it "the most iconic image" of the singer, while Lo termed it a "decidedly daring or risky action". Emphasis added, wikilink removed. I'm not sure the emphasised phrase is being used correctly; what are you trying to convey by saying in retrospect? It means to look backwards (at a past event).Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 19:49, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
  • I meant it to be a reference to the CNN source as being retrospective, since this was a description years later looking back at her career. But I agree this can be removed so it doesn't sound ambiguous, as I have also added a separate review by Lo.
  • Cited by a foreign magazine as one of the best shows in Asia in the last 25 years [...] This is closely paraphrased from the synopsis of the source video. Which magazine? As it is it comes off as promotional.Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 19:49, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
  • I could not find the actual source, I do know it was from an article of New Strait Times, so we can probably just remove then if it comes off being promotional.
  • My bad, I meant to write duration of the shows.
  • All good, this is a miss on my part, I should have checked and opened the actual wikilink. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pseud 14 (talkcontribs)

Looking forward to your answers. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 19:49, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

  • Pipe Araneta Center to Araneta City in the infobox  Done
  • The alternate title is not sourced anywhere in the body -- removed
  • Add a comma after tenth studio album  Done
  • The first para is only three sentences long; maybe add another notable sentence, like the one about Velasquez being nervous? -- I've added another sentence providing information on the producer/promoter and sponsors instead. Perhaps it is also notable to include it in the lead similar to other concert articles.
  • "Buttefly" → "Butterfly"  Done
  • The inspiration sentence should be the second sentence of the second para instead  Done
  • The set list including songs from her previous albums is not directly mentioned in the body's prose  Done -- I've added in the synopsis
  • "as well as covers of pop hits" → "It also featured covers of pop hits" with the pipe  Done
  • "during the shows." → "during the concert." also, this should be next to the critical reception in the third para instead  Done
  • Pipe music critics to Music journalism  Done
  • The best shows in Asia accolade(s) is not sourced  Done Removed. Forgot it was still in the lead, after I have removed it in the body from prior a copyedit

  • "The cover album contained remakes" → "The cover album contains remakes" with the pipe  Done
  • Wikilink music videos  Done
  • [1] is invoked too much per WP:OVERCITE; apart from the first sentence because that is non-consecutive, only cite after the fourth  Done
  • "a commercial success: it sold over" → "a commercial success, selling over"  Done
  • "in its second week of release and earned a" → "in the second week of release and earning a" also, add the organization that certified it  Done -- added music certification organization

  • "big show coming up"." → "big show coming up."" per MOS:QUOTE, if this is a full sentence  Done
  • [10] should not be invoked after the first sentence of the second para; the others are fine per them being quotes and one the last sentence  Done
  • Video looks good!
  • [15] should only be invoked once in the Paul Abdul sentence  Done
  • Pipe Rajo Laurel to Laurel family (Philippines)  Done
  • [18] should only be invoked once in the two consecutive sentences solely citing this ref  Done

Concert synopsis

  • ""Larger than Life" before" → ""Larger than Life", before"  Done
  • "of "One Love" then went directly" → "of "One Love", transitioning directly" with the pipe per MOS:LINK2SECT and shouldn't you mention who all the songs covered are by?  Done I have attributed/mentioned the artists where possible, except for when it's a medley/mash-up, to avoid WP:SEAOFBLUE

  • "falling out of love before" → "falling out of love, before"  Done

  • Remove wikilink on pyrotechnics  Done
  • After [20], [12] should only be invoked at the end of the closing sentence  Done

Reception and recordings

  • Wikilink pyrotechnics on the quote box, also do not use double quotation marks inside other ones -- the term referred by Lo in the quote actually describes "vocal pyrotechnics" (an alternative to vocal abilities, etc). So I did not link. Also removed double quotation marks

  • The second sentence of Ricky Lo's review should be put into your own words more, especially when there is a quote box from him  Done reworded this to avoid quoting the paragraph in the article
