Halo 3 Original Soundtrack
My first album article, but I believe I've exhausted the reliable sources to use in making it as comprehensive as possible (plus it's longer than my last nom!) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk  ) 01:05, 25 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - I'm now officially running away. A FA on a video game SOUNDTRACK??? What's next, Pokemon? (whimpers) On a serious note, be back later to check sources. Ealdgyth - Talk 01:08, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I've got to work on my evil laugh more with you. Scout's Honor that my next FAC won't have anything to do with a video game (actually, that's probably a lie, I want to promote Halo (series) soon... but perhaps the next one after some work?) -- Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 01:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You know, Pikachu is a GA, while the games, Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl are FAs. On topic. That article seems good. Meets criteria, though I question why it is so short... --haha169 (talk) 01:13, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Oopsies. I deleted the image then, although I think there is a similar one on Flickr which might have the right license, lemme check. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk  ) 01:20, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, i couldn't find one. I've removed the thumbox. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk  ) 01:25, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Schade, thanks ЭLСОВВОLД  talk 01:27, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, copyright holder of the image here. While I personally don't see Wikipedia as "commercial use", I've read the image policy and I understand that Wikipedia does not want to risk using "non-commercial" CC images. For this reason, I've changed the license on the original photo to allow commercial use. Feel free to include this image back into the article. bluejuh (talk) 03:05, 26 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Ugh, please put the tracklist in a collapsed table form, rather than stretching out over a ton of wasted space. (See any of the GA music of final fantasy articles for examples on how to do it.) --PresN (talk) 06:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Added. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk  ) 11:51, 25 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment I've corrected the infobox a bit. Jubilee line (talk) 09:03, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Support - Another fine article from David Fuchs, I have read the article thoroughly and I think it meets the criteria. Surprising that this FAC has had so much attention but no support or opposition up to this point. James086 Talk &#124;  Email 00:03, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support - No criteria unaddressed, comprehensive, prose seems very good, readable, a free use image, seems ready for FA! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 03:15, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support - excellent read. Manderiko (talk) 01:44, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

 * In the Professional reviews area; is scorenotes reputable?
 * "The score reached the Billboard 200" - billboard needs italics, 200 doesn't
 * "and broke the top twenty best-selling soundtracks and independent albums listings as well." - perhaps "and also broke..." instead of "as well"
 * The Background section uses "O'Donnell" LOTS and other stuff ("he..") very little...it's a bit hard to read...fix please
 * The music sample should probably use one of the templates we generally use for this sort of thing...see Diorama (album) for a random example of what to use
 * Reception section should go before track listing and personnel
 * "release in a Bungie podcast" - podcast has a capital P in the previous section...streamline
 * Can any of the commentary in the Reception section go in the infobox?
 * Moved the sections, removed the scorenotes link (I didn't add that), fixed the grammar and podcast capitalization. The Background section uses O'Donnell lots because in many cases I can't change it up to 'he' without being ambigious; I changed it in one or two places. As for the music sample box; the templates are ugly and waste space. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk  ) 20:07, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. Everything seems OK now. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 09:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
