I am submiting this list because I think its ready to achieve FL status. Jaespinoza (talk) 19:36, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- "for 25 weeks this year," – "this year" sounds to me like it's the current year (2008), and not the 2005 as mentioned earlier in the sentence. I suggest rewording this. FIXED Jaespinoza (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "reached the number 26" – "reached number 26" - FIXED Jaespinoza (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "on The Billboard 200" – "on the Billboard 200" – "the" is not part of the billboard's official name, remove it from the link too - FIXED Jaespinoza (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "on The Billboard 200 and was named" – "on The Billboard 200, was named", FIXED Jaespinoza (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "and also won" – "and won" FIXED Jaespinoza (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "Another recording by Daddy Yankee (released on December 7, 2004) titled Barrio Fino en Directo reached the first spot on the chart. " – "Another recording by Daddy Yankee entitled Barrio Fino en Directo was released on December 7, 2004 and reached the first spot on the chart." – don't use brackets when they are not necessary, FIXED Jaespinoza (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "This album includes" – "The album includes", FIXED Jaespinoza (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "chart-topper" – I'm not so sure if this is encyclopedic. Sounds too informal. FIXED Jaespinoza (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "on their careers" – "in their careers" FIXED Jaespinoza (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "chart topper" – same as above; also, no dash is used here as opposed to the other? FIXED Jaespinoza (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I suggest changing all occurrences of "this" to "the" as every time "this" is used, mentally I'm thinking of someone pointing at something specific, when in fact the entire article's focus should already be the chart so "the chart" is sufficient, FIXED Jaespinoza (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "Fijación Oral Vol. 1 by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira spent 17 weeks at number one on this chart and despite a ban by retail chain Ritmo Latino, this album" – "Fijación Oral Vol. 1 by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira spent 17 weeks at number one on the chart, and despite a ban by retail chain Ritmo Latino, the album", FIXED Jaespinoza (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "No. 4" – "number four", FIXED Jaespinoza (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "The Billboard 200" – same as above, FIXED Jaespinoza (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "record-holder" – "record holder", FIXED Jaespinoza (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved review by SRX
- There were nine number-one albums in 2005, including Barrio Fino by Daddy Yankee, which peaked at the top of the chart for 25 weeks, sold nearly 900,000 copies in the United States, reached number 26 on Billboard 200, was named Reggaeton Album of the Year at the 2005 Billboard Latin Music Awards,[2] and won a Latin Grammy Award for Best Urban Music Album. - wouldn't it be the Billboard 200?. No, acording to Gary King who reviewed the list yesterday, he told me to remove "the". Jaespinoza (talk) 02:26, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Fijación Oral Vol. 1 by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira spent 17 weeks at number one on the chart, and despite a ban by retail chain Ritmo Latino, the album had the largest sales week for a Spanish-language album since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking in 1991, with 157,000 copies sold, which led to a first-ever debut by a Latin album at number four on Billboard 200, surpassing Ricky Martin's Almas del Silencio, which was the previous record holder with 65,000 units in 2003. - this needs a full stop after "on the chart." Then begin the sentence with "Despite a ban..."--SRX 00:30, 6 November 2008 (UTC), FIXED, Jaespinoza (talk) 02:26, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support I made some minor fixes, but otherwise, this list meets all criteria. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:19, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- I was not a part of your previous FLCs, so I realize your other lists passed without some of these issues being addressed.
- The column heading "Issue Date" confuses me. It's not the date of the albums release, which is what I first thought. Is that the date the Billboard list is issued? Maybe "Chart date"?. Answer: FIXED!. On the Billboard page the chart date is refered as "issue date" but chart date I think is more acurate. Jaespinoza (talk) 07:18, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The third instance of Daddy Yankee (December 31) shouldn't be wikilinked. FIXED! Jaespinoza (talk) 07:18, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't believe "Internet sales" should have a capital "I" - is that correct? I see your other lists have that, but it doesn't look right to me. FIXED!. On a previous review someone told me to capitalize it, but now is fixed. Jaespinoza (talk) 07:18, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I give this list a Weak Support - if another column heading can be found, I'll remove the "Weak". -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 23:40, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
