• ... that The Throne released "Otis" and "H•A•M"?

The hook isn't mentioned in the articles; in fact, the release dates are given as over 6 months apart in the respective articles. If the hook was supposed to mean that they will be on the same album it is rather confusing (especially as the album isn't one of the nominated articles). Yomangani^talk 16:58, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

I've clarified the hook. Rcej (Robert) – talk 03:36, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

• Source: Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:40, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
• Interest: It doesn't seem hooky at all. The rules require a hook to be "interesting, catchy, punchy". Could you sift through the article for a better hook? Tony (talk) 08:25, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

• Not bad with ALT1. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:40, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

• Both are fine. Otis is huge (and surprisingly rated a start class) Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:40, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

• Otis needs some Bare URLs cleaned. The Throne is fine. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:40, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

• Both look fine. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:40, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

• Plagiarism/close paraphrasing: Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:40, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
• Copyvio: : Is there any particular reason why the use of clips from "Otis" and "H.A.M." in The Throne are valid fair use?
• Obvious faults in prose, structure, formatting: Throne Tony (talk) 02:42, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Comments/discussion: Tony, you're great, but 'Throne' isn't adequate feedback. Could you please elaborate? Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 02:11, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Maybe the "Article" review section should be duplicated for this double-nom? --PFHLai (talk) 13:10, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Almost there, just needs some cleanup of the BURLs. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:40, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Fixed. I think I got them all ;) Rcej (Robert) – talk 02:36, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

BURLs are gone. Good to go. Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:44, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
