Ratu (band)

[edit]
  • ALT1:... that the Indonesian music duo Ratu's song about womanisers was banned in Malaysia?
  • ALT2:... that the "coquettish and sexy" music duo Ratu had hits about womanisers and friends with benefits?
  • Comment: Bluesatellite gets a credit as the writer of the Indonesian article.

  • Article is long enough, new enough, and well-referenced. All three hooks are supported with inline Bahasa Indonesia references. There is a discrepancy, however: the article says the ringback tone is downloaded more than a million times, but the main hook uses the word "sold". I don't think the two are interchangeable. The other two hooks are fine. -Zanhe (talk) 04:36, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
  • As one generally pays for the ringback tones, I thought sold would be acceptable. If otherwise: ALT3: ... that the ringback tone for the Indonesian music duo Ratu's song about friends with benefits was downloaded more than a million times?  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:39, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Yes that's generally the case, but I think it's better not to assume that all downloads are purchases, as some downloads may be free, and oftentimes one can purchase once and then download multiple times to different devices. ALT3 is good to go, Indonesian refs accepted AGF. -Zanhe (talk) 04:59, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
  • K, thanks for the review! I've stricken the original so it is not accidentally selected. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:05, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
