@Retrohead: Sorry for my laziness, take your time on starting this again if you want, since the first time I was slow to respond.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 02:55, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, when you're done with the notes from the previous review, I'll have a second look.--Retrohead (talk) 07:35, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think I addressed them all - do you want me to copy-paste the notes to here and add my comments?--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 05:21, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, I'll continue with the rest of my comments.--Retrohead (talk) 09:08, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Can you consider dropping "unblack metal" from the infobox because the music description says the album is "primarily black metal in sound"?
-I picked "unblack" because that is synonym for "Christian black metal." I figured that it is simpler and more concise to list "Extreme metal, unblack metal" than "Extreme metal, black metal, Christian metal." I did work the stylistic section so that it explicitly mentions unblack metal. Is this sufficient rationale? Or would it be better to just list "Extreme metal, Christian metal?"--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 17:31, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, works for me. I raised this issue because unblack metal was not mentioned in the "Music and lyrics" section.--Retrohead (talk) 21:30, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Gotcha, that's why I added a bit explicitly mentioning the term.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 02:09, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Only mention the musician's full name in his introduction (check Jan Axel Blomberg in "Critical reception")
-Done. I think I got all of these now.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 17:31, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can you make the second statement from "Music and lyrics" and the quote from "Critical reception" in line with the rest of the prose?
-Done. Another editor blocked those quotes. I always thought that four lines, not three, is when to do that, but I reserved judgement. Since you find it problematic, I'm happy to restore those quotes back to the original format.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 17:31, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please formatt the link from the statement in the "Brazilian tour".
-Done, I think. I'm assuming you meant the block quote? I've used the cite web template to format the link the the best that I can see how to do while using the blockquote template. --3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 17:31, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not exactly. I meant the link from "Antestor - Timeline Photo" to be placed as a reference.--Retrohead (talk) 21:30, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, a bit tricky, but I figured out how do do that.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 02:09, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is the article properly categorised? I assumed there are more than two categories on album articles.
Most of the categories that it would be listed under are used to categorize Category: Antestor albums. There isn't really anything else stand-alone that this album would go under other than 2012 albums.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 02:09, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please write "Nordic Fest" with small letters where needed (reference 7).
Done.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 02:09, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can you avoid describing the reviews as "positive" or "mixed"? For example, the Musick Magazine score (6.5/10) might seem positive to some readers, while some may consider it mixed.
I thought it was standard to try and summarize reviews in prose this way, but I see your point. Done. I left in points where the reviewers clearly praised or criticized a particular aspect of the music, but did away with such summaries of an entire review.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 02:09, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Retrohead: What's the status now?--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 20:46, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay, you can blame me for laziness this time. Glad to promote the article to GA. Congratulations.--Retrohead (talk) 08:32, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
