Sentimientos (Ivy Queen song) edit

  • ... that the song "Sentimientos" by Ivy Queen is a mid-tempo reggaeton tune that lyrically describes how the human touch, like holding hands, and genuine feelings, like writing "I love you" on a note, are more important than material things?

  • The hook is a direct quote from the source and needs to be fully quoted. And what does midtemp mean? Is this a typo for mid-tempo? Otherwise good to go.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:55, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Fully quote it as in including "is a mid-tempo reggaeton tune that..."? I'm assuming it is a typo made by the original author. - DivaKnockouts (talk) 03:06, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
  • I expect that you're correct about the typo, but you still only have a closing quote. Add an opening quote and you'll be good to go.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 05:24, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
  • An opening quote? Hmm.. that would be?? DivaKnockouts (talk) 06:34, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
  • And where would I put that, around the direct quote? DivaKnockouts (talk) 06:34, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
  • You already have the proper closing quote mark at the end of the sentence: It is a mid-tempo reggaeton tune that lyrically describes how the human touch, like holding hands, and genuine feelings, like writing 'I love you' on a note, are more important than material things." So put the first one wherever the quote starts. Further information is at WP:QUOTE.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:18, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Oh ok, I was confused to what you were talking about, I believe I have fixed it. DivaKnockouts (talk) 00:59, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Thank you very much for the review!
  • Hook is well over the maximum at 237 characters (spaces must be counted!), so it's ineligible for DYK. An significantly shorter ALT hook needs to be created and approved. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:19, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
  • A completely new hook? Or any suggestions would be appreciated. DivaKnockouts (talk) 04:32, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
  • ALT1:... that the song "Sentimientos" by Ivy Queen lyrically describes how doing something nice or romantic are more important than material things?
  • I'm sorry, but the new hook was clearly not checked against its source: "are more important than material things" is the exact phrase used in the source—the reggaetonline.net article—and thus unacceptable unless quoted. It should also be quoted (and sourced) in the article's lead, where it comes from, and quoted (or paraphrased) in the hook as well. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:40, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
  • ALT2:... that the song "Sentimientos" by Ivy Queen lyrically describes how doing something nice or romantic are more important than things you can buy?
  • This hook sounds ungrammatical, and "material things" are not the same as "things you can buy" so hook ALT2 is unconfirmed. However good news it is not plagiarism or too long. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:17, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
  • ALT3:... that the lyrics of the song "Sentimientos" by Ivy Queen describe how doing things that are nice or romantic "are more important than material things"?
ALT3: confirmed and good to go. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:47, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
