I am nominating this article to be a featured list because I feel that after creating the article from scratch, and putting about a month of really hard work into it, it now meets the FL criteria. — Status {talkcontribs 23:08, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No dead links or DAB needed to be fixed. Image looks good. Could you get an ISBN number for FN 1? I think you might be able to find it on the Google Books abstract or Amazon abstract. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 21:54, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, more comments:

  • "Following the show's finale in 1993, Lopez made guest appearances in the television series South Central, appeared in the made-for-television movie Lost in the Wild (1993) and starred as Melinda Lopez in the television series Second Chances (1993)" - be consistent on whether or not you add serial commas (commas before "and")
  • "which were both met with negative reception." - either "which were both met with negative reviews" or "which were both received unfavorably."
  • Remove all instances of the word "both" and "also" in this article. In all cases here, it's being used redundantly.
  • "Lopez retained box office success co-starring in the 2004 film Shall We Dance?" - missing word, maybe an "after"?
  • Not too fussy with the word "Unknown". How do we know that the stage names of the creators of DanceLife or Como ama una mujer are not "Unknown" and simply unknown?
  • FN 20 does not support fact that she was Rosie Romero or that it was Direct-to-video.
  • FN 80 does not support cited info. This source also says show was produced from 90 to 92, not 93.
  • I didn't check all sources, just a few. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 21:13, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • The source says she was a member of the show from 91-93. The lead was incorrect, the show lasted until 1994. I've fixed that. For Shall We Dance she got success with the film, not after it. — Status {talkcontribs 23:40, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi, how's the work coming along. Have you addressed my comments? :-) Thanks, —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 10:37, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hmmm, leaving a cell blanked seems a bit unprofessional when the Creator is an important detail. You can use dashes and have a note ("—" denotes an unknown creator/"—" denotes an unknown budget) at the bottom of the tables. For consistency, you can also apply this style to the 2 Film roles tables. I'm this close (*puts thumb and index finger in an about-to-pinch position*) to supporting by the way. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 18:29, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm gonna go on a witch hunt to find out the creators of those. — Status {talkcontribs 20:37, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 20:41, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quick, non-reviewer comment from Michael Jester

I may have missed this, but what exactly does the "N/A" mean in the box office column? Does it mean it is unknown due to a lack of sources or was it not released in theaters? I am a tad confused.
—Michael Jester (talk · contribs) 02:18, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The movies marked with "N/A" denote ones that weren't released in theatres, yes. — Status {talkcontribs 03:55, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Is there a way you can make a note saying that? Because I think I may not be the only one who would get confused with the "N/A".
—Michael Jester (talk · contribs) 06:28, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, "N/A" usually stands for "not applicable" or "not available"; but I don't really see how I could add a note on it. I suppose I could try something like that are on discography tables? "Blah denotes blah blah"? — Status {talkcontribs 18:39, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. That clarifies it.

Resolved comments from Giants2008 (Talk) 17:41, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Quick comments –
  • Do we really need to have a link to the U.S. dollar in the first paragraph? I can't link of too many more links that would serve less of a purpose than that one.
  • "Following the role, Lopez starred in the independent films: An Unfinished Life, Bordertown, and El cantante." It actually works better if the colon is excluded.
  • Right after that: "the latter in which she also acted as the executive producer." With the semi-colon, I think an improved version would be of the form "she also acted as the executive producer of the latter."
  • Try to avoid repetition from one sentence in another in "and starring in the film The Back-up Plan. The Back-up Plan...".
  • Several of the tables have names sorting by first name, when they should probably be sorting by last name instead. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:32, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not too familiar with tables, so I'm not sure how I would go about sorting them by first name. Could you point me in the right director? The other issues have been resolved. — Status {talkcontribs 04:23, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 09:35, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • "She is the highest paid actor of Latin descent" this is sourced to something written nearly four years ago, are you sure it's still valid?
  • "ran for only a short amount of time" reads clunky to me, perhaps "ran for only a brief period"?
  • "divided for the latter" usually get divided by, not divided for...
  • Ref 7 doesn't allow me to read that page of the book, does the book say "critics" or is it just the book itself saying it was a breakout role?
  • "Also in 1998 " perhaps instead of repeating years, say "in the same year" or something of that nature just to mix up the prose a little.
  • "Also in 2004 " ->"Also that year..."
  • ""—" denotes items which were not released in theatres." this row shouldn't sort.
  • Why is budget/box office sortable?
  • Is it fly girl or Fly Girl? Be consistent.
  • Year should be Year(s) as there's a range in some of those.

The Rambling Man (talk) 09:03, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I will try to find a more recent source for the highest paid Latino actor. Ref 7 is just an example of it being called as her breakout role. The budget/box office tables aren't sortable? Removed the denotes part. For some reason, it doesn't wanna stay put. — Status {talkcontribs 11:46, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I meant why aren't they sortable! And you should have more than just ref for the "breakout role" or change the text. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:57, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was told to remove it in the peer review; but if you think they should be there, I'll add them. I'll get on finding some more sources to back it up. How many do you think? — Status {talkcontribs 12:32, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think they should be sortable, I don't see a good reason for them not to be, do you? And as for refs, at least two, more would be ideal. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:53, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All the issues pointed out have been resolved. :) — Status {talkcontribs 03:17, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't see any changes in this article that I pointed out in its peer review :/ Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 03:49, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've been taking my information all from Allmovie, and that's who they credit her as. I don't see a need to go off on other sources for certain names. Some places use first names, some don't. That's how it is. I thought I said that on the review, but I guess I forgot to. xD — Status {talkcontribs 02:25, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from NapHit (talk) 15:55, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • I would add ref to the top of the reference column just to make it clear what that column refers to
  • Don't think the as a personality table needs to be sortable when there is only one cell in it.

NapHit (talk) 23:39, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I had that there before, but it became pretty messy. I think it looks best the way it does now. And yeah, you're right, I'll remove that. — Status {talkcontribs 21:13, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Imdb is not considered to be a reliable source. I had this problem on JLO's discography. If you can find another source, I will be sure to add it. Thanks for the Selena budget. I never heard of that site before! — Status {talkcontribs 02:39, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yea I know that's the only source that is on the Internet, odd. You're welcome :-) Best with the nomination, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 05:01, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The DVD itself could probably be sourced. That's what I had to do with the Janet video. Do you happen to own it? Or know where scans of it could be, to see if she is credited? — Status {talkcontribs 06:15, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Of course I do mister ;-) I would have to check it out when its the afternoon over here 'cause I'm very tired. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 06:16, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The "Siempre Hace Frio" music video was on this VHS as well. You can use {{cite video}} for it, however, this source does not give any credit to Lopez. Can't you just put her as "un-credited"? Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 01:13, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Since she's uncredited, I don't believe that she should be credited. You know what I mean? I've never understood this "Name (uncredited)" stuff. — Status {talkcontribs 20:59, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
True, well I now support the article to be a FL. Good job, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 00:11, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, it has been almost three months since I nominated this. All issues pointed out have been resolved. What is the hold up? — Status {talkcontribs 17:36, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Update the FLC once you address issues because I only watch the FLC page, not the actual article. Nonetheless, I added my well deserved support. Great work! —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 17:42, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
