- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- Quite clear, to my mind very good, though I tend to get a bit lost as many of the musical and film career sections are just lists of her accomplishments, albums, songs and films — this is quite acceptable, by the way, but it can make reading a little less interesting than it could be. This doesn't preclude it from GA though, good work!
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- Great work on the structure, I think it works well.
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- Is it verifiable with no original research?
- A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
- B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:

- Thanks for initiating the review Aussie Article Writer, happy to address them as they come. Pseud 14 (talk) 21:11, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- Early life - all references check out, I took the liberty of removing two which were only tangentially related.
- Music career
- 1986–1989: Career beginnings and Regine - all references check out
- 1990–1993: Nineteen 90 and Reason Enough - all references check out
- 1994–1998: Listen Without Prejudice and My Love Emotion - all references check out
- 1999–2003: R2K and Reigne
- "Velasquez headlined and directed the R2K Concert at the Araneta Coliseum in April 2000" - I can't see where the reference shows this...
- In the article, it is mentioned that she conceptualized and directed the concert herself. Pseud 14 (talk) 07:20, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- "She performed "Cry" with Mandy Moore to promote the theatrical release of Moore's film A Walk to Remember." the article only says she did a duet with Mandy Moore
- Replaced with source that mentions them performing the song. Pseud 14 (talk) 07:20, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- 2004–2007: Covers Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 - all references I can read check out (one is subscription only, the other is in Tagalog which I sadly don't read or speak)
- The article written in Tagalog I cited for her win (the headline of which is written in English which mentions her win), otherwise the first citation also supports the claim. I only used the subscription only source, as it is an archive of The Manila Bulletin. The full article can be found on the internet but is posted on a forum so I did not use that as a source Pseud 14 (talk) 07:20, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- No probs, I only noted I couldn't read them, I assumed good faith they were correct. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 17:22, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

- Sorry for the time this took, I checked all the references (hopefully I didn't miss any!). I have to say, this is a most meticulously references and detailed article about the singer, excellent work. If you took this to FA, I think you might want to make it less "list like", but given the scope of her work, fame and achievements I also think that this sort of thing goes with the territory! Great work, this passes GA status. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 04:33, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
