[edit]

Before you even think about deleting this article, you cant because:

1) It has been confirmed as a single! 2) It has charted on 1 chart 3) If you delete this then you have to delete this >> http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Alejandro_(song) because that page has exactly the same things Te Amo has.

Thankyou.

But Te Amo has not had enough 'hype' to create an article about. If it has charted in one country, then it goes into Rihanna discography to Other Charted Songs! Alejandro was confirmed as the third single from the start, however Te Amo has only recently been 'confirmed' which may change like Photographs did. Wait a few weeks okay?Jagoperson (talk) 09:16, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete ASAP! Rockstar 101 is the official single not Te Amo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.64.15 (talk) 02:12, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Leave this page alone! the Music video has already been shot. It will be released as a single. No confirmed dates at the moment. But further information will come as the days pass. Leave this page alone.


NOW it has been confirmed as an international single and it is jumping up the UK charts so DO NOT delete this article! The video is on the way, release date is already set, so leave this be! It is well sourced so keep it! Jagoperson (talk) 20:15, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't this chart atop the Brazilian Singles Chart as well? --Aquabender (talk) 02:21, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reason why this page should not exist

[edit]

For a song to be notable for its own page it needs:

  • to have charted on one national chart (at least)
  • have extensive independent coverage from critics etc.
  • have a confirmed release date (i.e. when you can actually purchase the song)
  • have a single cover

Since this song has none of those and there is only one source stating its release as a single (allegedly it was confirmed on american idol though there are no sources to confirm this the page has been redirected to it's album. Any reversion of this edit would be in breach of WP:crystal, WP:notability (music) and lack verifiable information. Lil-unique1 (talk) 20:35, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reason why this page SHOULD exist

[edit]
  • It has appeared on three national charts - UK Singles Chart, UK R&B Chart and Swedish Singles Chart.
  • It has a confirmed release date from two reliable sources
  • It has a music video which has been shot
  • It is playing on radio stations in the UK and France

Why is there this article then http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Alejandro_(song)#Radio_and_release_history when that has 1 source which comes from the same place as Te Amo's but this article has 2. But how can you not delete Alejandro when this article has 2 and that has 1??

I rest my case! Iluvrihanna24 (talk) 08:30, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now that it has recieved extensive coverage it will be left. simples! Lil-unique1 (talk) 14:50, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have used proper citations now so therefore i have deleted the sign at the top. :) Iluvrihanna24 (talk) 07:45, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

[edit]

The sources for Te Amo will change (ie they are playlists or charts), so they are okay for now but in a few weeks they will not be useful. I am trusting the Wikipedians working on this article to change the sources over time!! Jagoperson (talk) 09:07, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Latin Genre

[edit]

This song is not Latin at all the song is more Pop/R&B but doesn't have nothing influenced on Latin Pop, why? cuz she says Te Amo? so why Alejandro from Lady Gaga is not Latin too? she says Alejandro/Fernando/Roberto, and yes is the same, the song is Pop/R&B as latin person I feel insulted that you guys put Latin Pop to a song that is not even close of our Pop music.


Have u even heard the beat to the song?? the song has Latin influences and I am also Latino. Don't be a drama queen. The song has influences from parts of Brazil, Argentina, and Spain. Spain is in Europe but Latin music is inspired from there. So yes.. Latin Pop. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.236.17.27 (talk) 14:41, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The song is latin pop/R&B but an user creates drama and removes the pop genre. It's unfair to leave R&B and remove pop. Charmed36 (talk) 19:23, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]


This song is definately "latin". The first time I heard this song, my first thought was "cool, she makes Zouk music these days?". It has a typical Zouk-style 1-3-4 beat and ethnic instruments (typical for that kind of music). People saying this is not latin need to broaden their knowledge on music styles before they blabber nonsense. What I don't get, however, is where the discussion about it being "R&B" comes from. What even makes this R&B? The fact that she made other songs which can be classified as R&B? The fact that it's slow? So is Mozart. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.98.245.68 (talk) 16:18, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Can someone add the single cover to the page? I'm sure it used to exist beforehand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.36.36.98 (talk) 20:28, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Calvin, before i (re-)start the review, i suggest you find some time and go through the article again. The errors to which i pointed out above have nothing to do with wrong formatting etc. You just need to read the article again.

Second Round

[edit]

Lead

[edit]
  • Re-arrange. A GA's lead cannot be like that. It looks very bad.
    It's in the same organisation as S&M, which is more than a GA. People on the FAC have no problem with it, so technically the lead is FA quality. I will do the rest of the points in about 12/18 hours. Calvin • TalkThatTalk 02:20, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Still, you need to organize the lead. I have told you countless times before. You have to lay emphasis on presentation. And please Calvin, this is nowhere near FA quality. This is a short article and it can be balanced. If it had a story like "Single Ladies", i could have understood but still, "Single Ladies"'s lead is not unbalanced because of composition but because of the cultural impact. Please balance it, the article is already in a bad shape. Arguing won't help here. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 04:18, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not arguing Jivesh, I'm just saying that I have written the lead of Te Amo in the same format as S&M, which no one at the FAC has a problem with, and the lead of Te Amo is a lot shorter than S&M. I'll do the below points in a minute. Calvin • TalkThatTalk 16:33, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Do you realize how massive the first paragraph looks? There is detailed excessively. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 16:43, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) No, it doesn't look big to me at all. You must have a smaller screen than me. I know when I use my Mac, even the shortest of Leads or sections looks massive. But on this laptop, which I use all the time, I don't notice if something might appear bigger than it does for you for example. Calvin • TalkThatTalk 16:50, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Frankly, this article should have a one-paragraph lead only, at most two. The article doesn't even have 10 KB of prose, and you would need well above 15 KB to have three paragraphs of that size. Your S&M (song) argument is ineffective here, because that article is much longer. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 16:51, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Let me tell you this well now. The first paragraph of the lead in comparison to the second and third is too big. Okay now? ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 16:52, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Penguin, thanks for jumping on board. Lol. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 16:52, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Calvin, frankly the lead looks bad. It is not even balanced and it is too long, over-detailed. Come on, this is such a short article. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 16:54, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What am I mean't to cut then? What about the whole WP:LEAD thing, about not mentioning something in the Lead but in the rest of the article? Calvin • TalkThatTalk 16:55, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A lead similar to this will be fine with me. They are both at 31 KB. Read the lead loudly (again). You will yourself get a very good idea of what to remove. If you don't, i will tell you. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 16:57, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good work Jivesh. If you don't mind, I have cut it down further and made some prose corrections to the lead. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 17:11, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Penguin shortened it further. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 17:10, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It does no matter Penguin. You know how obsessed i am with having symmetrical paragraphs. Lol. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 17:12, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It looks so short now. And the third paragraph reads like a list of hard facts with such short sentences. Calvin • TalkThatTalk 17:22, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's a lead. It's supposed to read as a brief (and I mean brief) overview of what the article has to offer. Anymore is simply redundant. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 17:28, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest, it looks basically the same as what I originally wrote. I don't get what the big deal was. Calvin • TalkThatTalk 17:34, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    They aren't close at all. "Robert Copsey of Digital Spy awarded the song a rating of four out of five stars and noted that Rihanna had progressed from singing about a male interest in one of her previous singles, "Rude Boy", to fantasizing about women, saying "After the rather explicit 'Rude Boy' campaign, Rihanna's taking a well-deserved break from titillating the blokes here – only to find herself the object of another lady's affections. One of her Rated R LP's less menacing moments, 'Te Amo' finds La Fenty grappling with her sexuality over some irresistible, Latin-infused Stargate beats."[10] Fraser McAlpine of Daily Reviews also awarded the song four out of five stars and also commented on the theme of lesbianism, saying "It's that old, old story: Girl meets girl. Girl speaks different language to girl. Girl loves girl. Girl doesn't love girl. Girl sad. We’ve all been there, right? And Rihanna’s captured that feeling beautifully (she actually has, even though I sound incredibly insincere about it)."[13]"
    Do you know you mentioned "Rude Boy" before? The reader might think you are still referring to "Rude Boy". This is what i always tell people: Do not edit under the false impression that only the fans of the singer will read this article. Anyone can read it and our aim is to facilitate the reading. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 17:55, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because that is really helpful. I still don't see what is wrong with them. Calvin • TalkThatTalk 18:17, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Calvin, there has already been too much of spoon feeding. You have done 14 GAs, right? You should have learnt something from them, right? Listen, take the references one by one, analyse them one by one. If you still do not find anything wrong, put a  Not done next to the reference. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 18:22, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is so hard to believe that you found nothing wrong. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 18:23, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest Jivesh, I don't think there has been any spoon feeding. And okay, I'll go through like how you suggest. Calvin • TalkThatTalk 18:24, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
To honest Calvin, all you have seen above has been spoon feeding minus the references. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 18:26, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It depends on what your definition of the term is then. Calvin • TalkThatTalk 18:28, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not really, it depends on the definition in the dictionary and specially the context. Calvin, you are tired. Go to bed and come back tomorrow because you have lost your sense of humor and cordiality. This is a friendly advice. ★Jivesh 1205★ (talk / ♫♫Give 4 a try!!!♫♫) 18:30, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I will continue soon and don't worry, i won't fail this but the process will be long. :D Jivesh 1205 (talk) 17:41, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not worried about you failing it, I'm worried about it getting failed by someone else. Calvin • TalkThatTalk 17:49, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Rest assured. That won't happened. Jivesh 1205 (talk) 17:57, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have done all the ref fixes i can, but the Czech Rep. one is pre-coded. I've done all the others. Calvin • Watch n' Learn 13:15, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:ALBUMCAPS in Spanish-language "Te Amo" would need to be "Te amo" in the article body. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 16:04, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the number of problems remaining after two months, this should probably failed, and it can be renominated after everything's addressed. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 17:48, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of the time was due to the reviewer not being able to review. That's not my fault. Calvin • Watch n' Learn 19:07, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I see that now; just saw the October cmts on first skim. i won't worry about this for a couple weeks in that case. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 15:15, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to finish this today

Chart performance
  • Read WP:NUMBERS and apply it where necessary. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 13:09, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some choppy prose:
  • Upon the release of the album, "Te Amo" made its first chart appearance in Sweden, debuting at number 52 on the Swedish Singles Chart on December 4, 2009, and stayed on the chart for one week.
  • After being released as a promotional CD in Sweden on May 5, 2010, the song re-entered the chart at number fifty-three on July 7, 2010 and reached its peak of number 48 two weeks later on July 30, spending a total of six non-consecutive weeks on the chart.
  • As the song was officially released in the United Kingdom > Why this mention?
  • and peaked at number five weeks a month lateron May 29.
  • entered ... entered... entered... > Try something else for a change.
  • in its sixth week >>> in its sixth charting week
  • Please don't compare here >>> but was more successful in Switzerland, where it peaked inside the top ten at number nine for one week. as you could have chosen any other country. So it seems like a personal opinion.
  • "Te Amo" debuted and peaked at number 11 in Austria on June 25, 2010, falling to number 15 on July 2, and re-peaking at number 11 again on July 9
  • In the Flanders and Wallonia regions of Beligum, the song debuted on both charts on the same week and both spent a total of thirteen weeks on both charts; the song debuted in both regions on June 19, 2010, at numbers 29 and 28, respectively.
  • Elsewhere in Europe, the song debuted on the Italian Singles Chart on July 15, 2010 at number nine and peaked at number seven for two weeks, however the song was less successful in Denmark, Finland and Norway, peaking at numbers 22, 14 and 12, respectively.'
  • In Germany, "Te Amo" became Rihanna's first song since "Hate That I Love You" in 2007 not to reach the top ten,[28] and debuted on the German Singles Chart at number 13 on July 26, 2010, and fluctuated in the top twenty before reaching its peak of 11 on July 24, 2010.
  • and reached a peak at number eighteen on July 17, 2010.
  • on the Canadian Hot 100 for the week ending July 3, 2010 >>> on the Canadian Hot 100 chart issue dated July 3, 2010
  • 8, despite not being officially released as a single, and reached a peak of number 66 on July 17, 2010


Too many long and choppy sentences. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 13:21, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done 95% of them, apart from the German one. Calvin • Watch n' Learn 13:36, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
35% satisfied. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 10:43, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have done copy-edits, applied WP:LQ and WP:NUMBERS. I feel quite confident passing the article. Please be more careful next time and learn form your small mistakes. Cheers. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 10:45, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oh thanks. Calvin • Watch n' Learn 14:29, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You are welcome my friend. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 15:37, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Second Round

Lead

[edit]
  • Re-arrange. A GA's lead cannot be like that. It looks very bad.

Response

[edit]
Critical reception
  • Is that the appropriate name? I don't think so.
  • Upon the release of Rated R, several music critics commented on the song as part of their album review, as well as when "Te Amo" was released as a single. What ,makes this sentence a necessary addition?
  • As part of his review for Rated R is getting repetitive. Too close.
  • BBC music reviewer Jude Rogers >>> Wrong format. It should always be BBC's critic Jude Rogers
  • less futuristic >>> A quote?
  • on the albums
  • , as they do not >>> is the comma needed?
  • heavy electronic influences >>> A quote?
  • heavy electronic influences which >>> comma after influences
  • awarded the song four out of a possible five stars >>> awarded the song a rating of four out of five stars.
  • The song... the song... the song >>> repetitive
  • stars, as well as observing that Rihanna had progressed from singing about a male interest in one of her previous singles >>> is that comma needed? And observing???
  • observing that Rihanna had progressed from singing about a male interest in one of her previous singles, "Rude Boy", to fantasizing about women" >>> A quote?
  • Don't use saying. Haven't i told you this before?
  • Fraser McAlpine of Daily Reviews >>> What is that?
  • also awarded the song four out of five stars and also commented on the theme of lesbianism, saying >>> also also also ... repetitive and again using saying
