Hi, I don't know if you held off reviewing because of my brief block, but I am available to make improvements now. Aaron You Da One 02:07, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't delaying the review because of that; I had some personal things to deal with in real life and I couldn't get to Wikipedia. Rp0211 (talk2me) 04:50, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

  • ...and samples his instrumental dance track called "Penguin". Remove the word "called" for better prose

Composition and lyrics[edit]

  • According to WP:SAMPLE, audio recordings have to be less than 10% of the original recording (right now it is 24 seconds and it has to be less than 23.9 seconds)
    I don't see one millisecond as an issue tbh. Aaron You Da One
  • ...from the low note of G♯3 to the high note of E♭5... The phrase "low note of G♯3 to the high note of E♭5" should not be wiki-linked as one phrase

After thoroughly reviewing this article, I have decided to put the article on hold. There are only some minor prose issues that are keeping this article from reaching good article status. I will give you the general seven days to fix these issues and/or address issues you believe do not affect good article status. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

The WP:SAMPLE issue needs to be addressed, even if it is by a tenth of a second; I would recommend making it 23 seconds, so you could get the most out of the music sample while still following the guidelines. As for the awards, I now see it is OK to use this in concerns to good article status, but make sure you fix the table, as it looks like it is not "closed" at the bottom.

Does an entirely new sample have to be uploaded? I'm not sure what you mean by the table not having a bottom? Looks like it to me lol. Aaron You Da One 18:04, 22 June 2012 (UTC) Aaron You Da One 18:00, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
For the upload, you can use the same file page, but it will have to be reuploaded so that it follows the guidelines of WP:SAMPLE. As for the other issue, I went ahead and fixed it for you; it was sort of difficult to explain what needed to be done, but you will understand once you see the correction.

WP:SAMPLE is a rule of thumb, so one second won't make any difference to US fair use laws (as long as WP:FAIR USE is respected. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 21:33, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, Tbhotch. I wasn't aware of the issue that you presented with WP:FAIR USE. Since all issues have been addressed now, I feel confident passing this article. Good job and keep up the good work! Rp0211 (talk2me) 17:30, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
