Gambling, Gods and LSD[edit]
... that film director Peter Mettler said his documentary Gambling, Gods and LSD was not scripted, that "[it] was making itself while I acted as a medium"?

Generally grand, mostly checks out alright. Discogs is not generally seen as a reliable source, though; but the information found there might be present on the reliable AllMusic. The sentence in the article that the hook is derived from could probably be clarified a little; preceding sentences speak of Mettler in the third person so a direct attribution of the quote might be needed as it's the first instance of first person quotation in that paragraph. The hook itself is grand, though might be made a little cleaner by phrasing it as "... that film director Peter Mettler said his documentary Gambling, Gods and LSD was not scripted, but "was making itself while I acted as a medium"?".

Thanks for the review. I've attributed the quote in the article, and I prefer your revised hook, which I've copied:

- Still concerned about the use of Discogs, though I had a look and couldn't find the album on Allmusic. Looking at what Discogs is used to source, though, it could easily be replaced as a source by the album itself, using its liner notes or information on the back cover. Aside from that we're good to go. GRAPPLE X 06:47, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
