[edit] Still Reigning

Before i started work on this article it was one paragraph - seen here. After receiving two very dodgy GAC reviews i submitted it to GAR where it received helpful feedback and almost doubled in size. Over the last few days i added the finishing touches, and while it is short it is comprehensive. I am happy to fix any editors concerns that are valid as soon as possible. Thanks.

I see the quality of the article has left you all speechless :) M3tal H3ad 07:24, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

• Support Some places it rocks hard. I've never heard Slayer so I got a couple of requests. (1) In the beginning of "Conception" can you make it clear that Reign in Blood is the 1987 album, (2) in the same section Hanneman is mentioned for the first time but context of who he is (guitarist for the band) is not given until two sentences later. (2) Reference 2 (RIAA.com) gives me a 404 Not Found, (3) I don't think the first footnote in the second paragraph of "Production" is the one you want, it doesn't doesn't actually say "death threat" (which is wikilinked twice in the article) and it is the same as the one at the end of the paragraph (why two of the same?) (4) why call the non-album songs on the DVD "Bonus"? Maybe I missed it but what are they anyway? new songs? played at the same concert? (5) Consider making the "Track listing" parallel like this. --maclean 07:47, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Now that's what you call useful feedback, i will get to work, thanks for the comments. M3tal H3ad 08:26, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

• Support Comprehensive and well sourced. One sentence isn't reading quite right to me though: The positive reception lead to the band's European agent suggest the band play Reign in Blood in its entirety... Maybe lead the agent "to suggest" or "suggesting"? Cricket02 14:24, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

• Support — Fantastic. Another masterpiece by M3tal H3ad. NSR77 ^T_C 01:35, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. Considering the recent fuss over Fair Use, images might need to be re-evaluated here before promotion. See WT:WIAFA#Time for FA to change culture vis-a-vis fair use images. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:35, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Durin was rather stupid in removing an album cover from the Slayer article - album covers are used with the intention of promotion and are usually encouraged by record labels. Unless the fair use criteria as it relates to FAs is changed, I don't feel that discussion affects the article - as it's only discussion. LuciferMorgan 15:50, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
