Angel of Death (song)

[edit]

I worked on this article over the past month, where it was a unreferenced stub. Since then it's had two peer-reviews, GA review (passed), has been copyedited by Ceoil with LuciferMorgan providing useful feedback on improving the article. I think it covers the song well and ready for FAC, if you have any objections i will deal with them promptly, thanks. M3tal H3ad 07:59, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. What an interesting read, especially the controversy section. Well-referenced, well-written, and well-illustrated. One comment, though: I wonder if it is possible to accomodate those of us with smaller screens and drop the Mengele picture down a paragraph because right now there are about 4-5 lines of empty space below the compositions and origins heading.

"Angel of Death" appears on the live compilation Ozzfest: Second Stage Live, so add this info to the "Appearances" section. LuciferMorgan 14:30, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay. There are a few small things that could be adjusted (nothing enough to oppose):
    • The name of the album doesn't appear in the infobox.
    • Hanneman is instroduced as "Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman" in the "Compositions and origins" section. It might be better to make the first mention that he's the guitarist in the lead so that the context is clear to readers.
    • Image:JosefMengele1.jpg is pushing down the text. You can fix this by moving it directly after the infobox (the image will stay where it is and the text will move up) or by aligning it to the left.
    • It'd be good to have a better caption for the audio sample to give the readers something for which to listen. ShadowHalo 19:14, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fuck the Millennium is a good example. It shows what the sample is illustrating so that readers have some idea of what to listen for. Based on the title of the link, it has to be a sample of "Angel of Death"; instead, you could rephrase or summarize the sentence "Araya bursts out his piercing scream, with Lombardo performing at an average of 210 beats per minute." Plus, it helps the fair use claim even more (not that there otherwise wouldn't be one). ShadowHalo 20:30, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Comprehensive and well-written. I would fix any concern myself on behalf of the WikiProject. Michaelas10Respect my authoritah 20:07, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Well-written, comprehensive, a good read overall. ShadowHalo 23:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I feel bad because I think I pulled something like this on the Slayer FAC... but alas, the source [1] doesn't back up the claim "The lyrics detail Mengele's surgical experiments on patients at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II" (I changed "track" to "lyrics", but the source doesn't even mention Slayer). I came to notice this because the one defect I could find with the article was it doesn't really cover the actual lyrics in detail. It just says they're about "Mengele's surgical experiments"... in what way? Do they mention specific ones? Do they say anything else? An article about a song should contain some direct information about the lyrics, I think. I'm sorry if this seems pedantic... this is a really good article otherwise. But this one sentence should probably be 2-3, and have a better source. I'll look into it myself hopefully, if no one else does. --W.marsh 02:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The reference was there for the things he did at Auschwitz, not that Slayer wrote about it, but i see your point and changed it slightly and added some references provided by Lucifer (thanks). M3tal H3ad 06:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
