Hi there, I'll be reviewing this. Hopefully I won't take a lot of time with this, because the article looks good overall.

Infobox

• "June 1991" → replace with June 24, 1991 (we do have an actual release date for this)
  •  Done
• Genres → where are the sources for these?
  • Replacing genres, citing source and adding notice. 和DITOREtails 21:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Lead

• "The album is a collection" → replace "album" with "record" (so the word "album" won't be used on every instance that you're referring to Magia)
  •  Done 和DITOREtails 21:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
• "experience hanging out with males" → "the experience of hanging out with males"
  •  Done 和DITOREtails 21:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
• "dreams of being a coastal girl" → I really don't understand what you mean by this.
  • Does "living on the coast" make more sense. 和DITOREtails 21:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
• "and she won an award at" → "and the album earned her an award at"
  •  Done 和DITOREtails 21:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Development and composition

• "dreams of becoming a young coastal girl" → just like in the lead, I don't understand this expression of 'coastal girl'.
  • Does "living on the coast" make more sense. 和DITOREtails 21:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
• "A Sony Music Columbia representative said that the recording process was simple and went perfectly fine. For Shakira, the process was problematic" → "A Sony Music Columbia representative claimed that the recording process was simple and went perfectly fine, although, for Shakira, the process was problematic"
  •  Done 和DITOREtails 21:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Release and promotion

• "live performances would be held in locations" → "live performances were held in locations (...)"
  •  Done 和DITOREtails 21:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
• "was not able to attend due to her age" → "was not able to attend the ceremony due to her age (...)"
  •  Done 和DITOREtails 21:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

References

• The reference that links to Eli should come in Template:Cite web formatting.
  •  Done but formatting using templates is not a good article requirement. 和DITOREtails 21:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
• For the references that cite the book, you need to replace them with the Template:Cite book formatting, I think.
  • No. Again, formatting using templates is not essential to a good article. What guideline do you remember seeing this? 和DITOREtails 21:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
    • This is my first GA review, and since in another article that I nominated and was reviewed I had to substitute all of the references with templates. I'm sorry though!

Putting this on hold for now. prism △ 19:47, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

• All comments addressed and replied to. 和DITOREtails 21:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

• Since all comments have been adressed and resolved, I'm passing this. By the way, I removed the album cover caption which is unnecessary. Congratulations! prism △ 21:53, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
