Parts of the article are unsourced, such as the promotion section (the one source there doesn't verify most of what comes before. Some questionable English too: "However, this mix leaked in the internet in November 2010. " —Femke 🐦 (talk) 17:50, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The issues here aren't too great and could probably be fixed quite easily. Unfortunately, nobody seems to be coming forward. Steelkamp (talk) 05:34, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
