Re-arrange the opening sentences, so the first one mentions it is simply "from her debut studio album, On the 6 (1999)", followed by writing/production and then add a sentence saying it was released as the album's lead single
"Jennifer Lopez, Fred Jerkins III," → "Lopez, Fred Jerkins III," and remove the refs since this is sourced in the body
""If You Had My Love" is a midtempo pop and R&B song that also features" → "A midtempo pop and R&B song, it features"
"Its lyrics revolve around" → "The lyrics revolve around"
Rather than having the quotes from critics here, please summarize what they praised overall so simply note something like how they praised the groove and production; nice summarization though for starters!
[3][4] are not needed here per above
"it generated instant attention" → "the song generated instant attention"
"It was also an international success," → "The song was an international success,"
"It also contributed to" → "This also contributed to"
""If You Had My Love" has been described" → "the song has been described"
Mention this was by a few critics for the last part
Regarding the "push the envelope" quote, this is "pushed" instead in the body; please alter in whichever case it is not quoting the wording to match and re-word surrounding prose to accommodate
Per the tag, re-word the contributing part to something like Lopez also penning lyrics
Remove wikilinks on piano and guitar
Thanks for not quick failing. Fixed those requests. igordebraga≠ 17:54, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Igordebraga There are some missed here - first of all you need to add a sentence specifying this was released as the album's lead single separately from the introduction to it as from the studio album, change the pop and r&b song description to using the prose I mentioned since it does not read right currently and remove the refs for the critical reception. Remove the song next to accompanying music video since this implies it accompanied the song, also remove the ref for Janet Jackson and Madonna. Outside of this, all is good! --K. Peake 18:28, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Retitle to Composition and lyrics
"her beau's affections."" → "her beau's affections"." on the audio sample text per MOS:QUOTE, plus there should be a comma before through
Where is the conversation part sourced specifically?
"and what I want," saying that" → "and what I want", saying that"
Ref 23 should only cite BBC Music and do this as publisher
Cite MTV News only for publisher on refs 25, 26, 47, 70, 87 and 110
Remove the publisher from refs 27, 56, 68, 98 and 103, also re wikilinking for sources, if you are going to do this continuously either enforce this every time or not please
Remove the publisher from ref 30
Ref 31 should only cite DVD Talk and as publisher
For Sony Music, it should be wikilinked to itself apart from the Japan wiki since that is separate
Cite Radar Online as publisher on ref 112 and remove the other publisher
Remove the publisher from ref 113
Remove the publisher from ref 115
Ref 119 should only cite About.com and as publisher, piping to Dotdash Meredith
Remove or replace ref 120 since that is blacklisted on my server
Remove the current publisher from ref 121, making VH1 the publisher only
Fix citation issues with ref 139 please
Should Work Records be linked to Work Group on any of these refs?
Final comments and verdict
On hold until all of the issues are fixed; this article is somewhat messy but congrats on fitting so much info in here! --K. Peake 18:00, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kyle Peake: See if I missed anything (and given two articles I found to fix unsourced parts wound up added to the text, if I implemented them well). igordebraga≠ 08:01, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Igordebraga: I have done some copyediting and looked through now – there is still some work for you to do, however. Please remove pipe on Billboard in the commercial peformance section; change "It became the first of Lopez's 17 top ten hits" → "The song became the first of Lopez's 17 top 10 hits"; pipe Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems to Broadcast Data Systems; re-invoke the ref at "is under observation"; add a comma after Best Pop Video; cite MTV News and CNN as publishers; and wikilink Gulf News. --K. Peake 15:10, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Igordebraga: You still have not unlinked Billboard at the duplicate link in the sentence of commercial performance about their comments on Work Group's images and in the lead, the song title should be mentioned at the part about her promoting it with performance. --K. Peake 07:03, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done (missed the one in the commercial section because I delinked one in critical reception). igordebraga≠ 21:28, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓Pass now, a quicker response from me this time! --K. Peake 07:47, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
