[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Slayer - Diabolus in Musica Back.jpg

Image:Slayer - Diabolus in Musica Back.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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:49, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the term

diabolus in musica was not a scale but an interval in Medieval music: the augmented fourth or tritonus, a stacking of three major seconds like f(-g-a)-b natural.

Well it's referred to a scale in all the sources so i guess if you have reliable sources the appropriate information can be added. M3tal H3ad (talk) 06:15, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
It's a specific dissonance which the medieval modal system considered particularly unmusical. See [1] and the article on tritone. The article should also have a hatnote linking to the disambiguation page at Diabolus in musica. Gimmetrow 07:10, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA nom on hold

This is only my fifth review, so bare with me.

  • "Released on June 9, 1998 through American Recordings, it is the second studio album to feature drummer Paul Bostaph." This should be seperated into different sentances.
  • The album sold 46,000 copies in its first week to peak at number 31 on the Billboard 200, although received mixed critical reviews. This should probably be re-worded, its kind of confusing.
  • Blabbermouth.net shouldn't be italicized
  • Blabbermouth.net shouldn't be linked in ref 8
That is all. Leave a not on my talk page when you are done. Nice job by the way, you rule. \m/ —Burningclean [Speak the truth!] 22:23, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Done, thanks. M3tal H3ad (talk) 02:25, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Additional comment:
  • Please wikilink Latin in the intro.
  • In the tracklisting section, delimit the titles on their corresponding duration with a dash, using the code for en dash. Thank you. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 06:04, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
