MCMXC a.D.

  • Reviewed: This is my third nomination, so a QPQ is not required.
  • Comment: The source is behind a paywall, so either the reviewer has to either be subscribed to the Billboard website or read it through an archive url through the Wayback Machine.

Improved to Good Article status by Lazman321 (talk) and Dhtwiki (talk). Nominated by Lazman321 (talk) at 00:31, 3 January 2021 (UTC).

  • GA received one day before nomination. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits.
  • The hook though, doesn't make sense ("ninth longest time"?) and is possibly the least interesting aspect of the article. Please suggest something a little more descriptive of the subject that would make readers want to click on the hook and read more. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:44, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
  • ALT2:... that Enigma has been accused of putting satanic content in MCMXC a.D. "The most unexpected result of the campaign was questions over possible satanist content in the music. The album deals explicitly with the themes of good being balanced by evil, but, for most in the press, there was no thought of satanic implications until Charisma issued a press release denying it." Source: [3]
  • @Lazman321: yes, it is better, thanks. But the sources are crediting the accusation to Michael Cretu. Would you like to write:
  • ALT2a: ... that Michael Cretu of Enigma has been accused of putting satanic content into the band's debut album MCMXC a.D.? Yoninah (talk) 22:30, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
@Yoninah: Yes, you can use that one. Lazman321 (talk) 16:28, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Since I added a few facts to ALT2a, we need someone else to complete this review. Pinging Kingsif for assistance here. Yoninah (talk) 16:57, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Approving Alt2a. --evrik (talk) 21:28, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
