Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was procedural close. The article has been converted into a redirect. There's consensus for move, however, so if restored to an article, Decisions EP is the best destination until we decide otherwise. --BDD (talk) 22:42, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Decisions (song)Decisions EP – In first place I shouldn't be the person who requests this as this is the original name. According to User:...lol it is a song under no evidence, but Borgore said: "I’m releasing an EP more for my close circle, my hardcore fans, which will be super dubstep-ish, full on". and it is an EP per this. Similarly to Hurt: The EP, this is an EP single not a simple single. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 18:36, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

[edit]

I have an article for "Decisions" drafted in my sandbox. I ask that it be reviewed/placed in the main article space, as there is certainly enough information available regarding the song to turn it into a Good Article with some more work.

I'm glad to see your work here. I do have some insights based on the above checklist that I think will improve the article:

  • I think the lead can be improved in order to provide an accessible overview and to give relative emphasis.
  • I think the layout needs to be fixed.

Besides that, I think the article looks excellent. WikiRedactor, please feel free to strike out any recommendation from this review which you think will not help in improving the article which is our main aim here. All the best, --Seabuckthorn  23:13, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your review! I was a little hesitant to merge the live performance and parody information into a "Live performance and parody" section because they are so unrelated, although I moved both sections' information into a single paragraph under "Background and composition". If you're not really feeling this arrangement, I'll go ahead and create a separate section. I also added a mention of the live performance in the introduction. If there are any other adjustments you'd like made to the article, I'll be more than happy to make them! WikiRedactor (talk) 23:22, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! The article looks perfect now. And to be honest, I wanted exactly this modification but was a bit hesitant to suggest in my review because it involved removal of two sections, so thanks a lot! Thanks, WikiRedactor, very much for your diligence, care and precision in writing such great articles. --Seabuckthorn  22:57, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Promoting the article to GA status. --Seabuckthorn  22:57, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
