Infobox and lead

• WP:OVERLINK of Jennifer Lopez under songwriters
• 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"
• Pipe Latin to Latin music
• "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"

• Wikilink as MTV Video Music Awards
• Stylize as Billboard Music Awards
• Add 2016 in brackets after the residency show

Background

• Pipe Sony Music Entertainment to Sony Music
• Wikilink pop music

Composition

• ""If You Had My Love" is a" → "Musically, "If You Had My Love" is a"
• Remove pipe on pop

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]

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]

  Done. Anything else? igordebraga ≠ 00:16, 5 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]
