:Image:SVlogo2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

From 2005 news report: [http://www.spanishtown.ca/enterstory5sp.htm], [http://www.hispanianews.com/pdf/hispania_news-2005-04-14.pdf]

Illustrating sample:

El inmensamente popular grupo Banda el Recodo cantó una versión muy rítmica de “Techno Cumbia”. A continuación, la salsera puertorriqueña India presentó su interpretación de “No Debes Jugar”. Después de un corto video relatando el descubrimiento de Selena, una cacofonía de cornetas de auto dio inicio al próximo número, “La Carcacha”, interpretado por la popular Ana Bárbara junto a un grupo de bailarines

The immensely popular group Banda el Recodo gave a rhythmic rendition of “Techno Cumbia.” Then Puerto Rican salsa star India performed “No Debes Jugar.” After a short video recounting Selena's discovery, a cacophony of car horns was heard at the start of the next number as Mexican recording artist Ana Barbara performed “La Carcacha” along with a full complement of dancers.

and so throughout the rest of the article. Transaltion of a nonfree text can't be released under free license. -- m:drini 14:41, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

I've reviewed the article, per all the following problems (especially the first) I have to quick failing.

• General

:The article does not cite any source, so it is quick failed for this

• Infobox

:selenavive.jpg must dissapear

• Lead

:The lead should summarize the entire article.

:{{!xt|10th Anniversary of the death of "The Queen Of Tejano" Selena,}} {{xt|tenth Anniversary of the death of "The Queen Of Tejano", Selena,}}

• Concert synopsis

:The entire paragraph is full of weasel and peacockish words (e.g. "Emotions clearly ran high as the 3-hour spectacular began with a heartfelt introduction by Selena's motion picture portrayer"). It needs a copy-edit *Achievements

:TV special -> television special

:also the #1 program -> also the number one program

:34 in Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco -> 34 in Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco while tying for first place in New York

:beating that night's episode of Fox's American Idol, which has historically received high viewership due to its popularity. -> WP:OR and WP:NPOV

• Album

:Though it did not include many of the songs performed, it does include many of the highlights. -> WP:NPOV Tbhotch^{Talk C.} 02:48, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

This is awful. I don't even know what to make of this-Selena ¡VIVE! (English: Selena Lives!) was a benefit concert which was held on the 10th anniversary of the murder by firearm of Selena.

I am going to start cleaning this up. The poor grammar,Weseal words and statements with no sources have to go.--98.87.91.193 (talk) 19:00, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

:Well be bold and fix the article. Best, Jona^{talk to me} 19:49, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

::I fixed what I could. I do remember seeing on tv or reading that the concert was the most watched live event ever for Univison. But since I don't speak Spanish, it will be hard for me to find a source. If someone wants to look over the article and help with punctuation,or anything,that would help because I am using a iPad, and it is kind of hard to edit with iPad, at least it is for me.--98.87.91.193 (talk) 01:42, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
