[edit] Hybrid Theory

I'm nominating this article for featured article because it's gone through some huge improvements contributed by me and SouperAwesome. I recently put for peer review here. I think it passes all the FA criteria. But I think desperately, that it is in need of a thorough copy editing. So, tell me what you think. Thanks! (SUDUSER)85 06:51, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
