R.E.M. Peer Review

I'll get back to Metallica soon enough, but I would appreciate any contribution you can provide at Wikipedia:Peer review/R.E.M. (band). Thanks. WesleyDodds (talk) 10:13, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I just remembered this because I was reading it again last night. I have a Bass Guitar issue that publishes a lost interview with Cliff Burton he gave less than a day before he died. In it he mentioned that R.E.M. was one of his favorite bands at the moment. WesleyDodds (talk) 11:58, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

wow less than a day... the interviewer must think about it a lot. And just how many music magazines do you own :o M3tal H3ad (talk) 12:25, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, my stack of guitar magazines takes about half a shelf, which comes to about a foot long. My brother has a few as well, and these span from 1998 to 2005, which was the last time I picked up an issue that had articles and tabs that interested me. I have a stack of about 13 or 14 Spin issues on my coffee table that I got because I received a free subscription back in 2004. I've got one issue of Q and one of Mojo" (plus a special Mojo" edition about the music of Manchester). My favorite magazines are from the NME Originals reprints series, of which I own the Britpop and Goth issues (if only I bought them when I saw them on the stands, I wouldn't have had to pay over thirty dollars to buy them off the website . . .) I also like trying to track down reprint collections; I've got a compendium of R.E.M. articles from various publications (which proved invaluable in sourcing the article) and a Guitar World anthology of alternative rock articles, both of which I bought used at Strand Bookstore in New York City. Tonight I just bought a Kerrang! Legends special devoted to the Foo Fighters. I definitely spend more on books and articles about music these days than I do on music itself. WesleyDodds (talk) 12:36, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Quite a serious collection you have. I had a few music magazines a year or two ago but no idea where they went, although i would never think of spending $30 unless it really interested me. Also with the Internet there's so much information for free, including excerpts from magazines. Which reminds me! i have to get the Decibel Magazine which has a cover story of Slayer and the band's history, which helped get 4 GA's, 1 FA and possibly one more FA (South of Heaven), so are worth buying sometimes :D. There's also a Slayer book, the first, coming out in June 08, which myself and Lucifer will be buying. Hehe i understand that you put more money into magazines than CDs with the stupid prices they put on them these days. You think they would realize. I actually might go to the newsagent tomorrow and have a look at some mags, look what you made me do :p M3tal H3ad (talk) 12:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually the main reasons I don't buy much music these days is because I have virtually everything I want, and since I work in a place with a vast and ever-expanding music library I can listen to music any time I want for free. I love reading about music, and while I've grown quite accustomed to the increasing number of newspapers and magazines that archive their articles online, there are times I just have to buy the print version (particularly articles reprinted in the NME Originals series, much of which isn't available to the public in any other fashion). By the way, this Kerrang! Legends I bought has an order form for past issues, and one of the ones listed is for a Metallica special. WesleyDodds (talk) 13:07, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Lucky, last CD/DVD i bought was Metallica S&M like 8 months ago. Reading and writing articles you will find some really cool and interesting stuff, which is why I'm still here, so you are right. Is the Metallica special a specific album/period, or the entire history in general? M3tal H3ad (talk) 01:36, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

The band's entire history, with reviews of each album. WesleyDodds (talk) 11:13, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

GA review for 2Pac

I read your notes on the article's discussion. No offense, but if you saw that all of that needed to be addressed, why didn't you fix any of the data that needed to be corrected, reworded, etc.? You may respond on your talk page, as I am watching it. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 05:16, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

If i made all the changes how are editors' supposed to improve, if they aren't being told what to improve on. I reviewed an article you nominated and found some things that need fixing, so for next time you will hopefully be able to deal with them before a GA nom.

Sound of the Beast

Yeah, I own it. It helped me get Heavy metal music through FAR. WesleyDodds (talk) 04:54, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

A lot of information is repeated in the book and the MTV timeline you cited, so I saw no need to replace it. There's still a few more things i might be able to add, but none of it really pressing. When this article passes GAC (Which is certainly should), I encourage you to look up or buy books/documentaries on Metallica to ensure you have consulted the best available sources before going to FAC. I'm going to list an oppose on the Trent Reznor FAC soon because it doesn't acknowledge all the sources available on the subject, so that's something you should try to be on top of. WesleyDodds (talk) 10:40, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

I'll be pretty busy from now through the first week of January (holidays, my FA projects, and all that), but once things settle down I'll go through my magazines and pull out what I can for the Metallica article. WesleyDodds (talk) 11:32, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Peer review/Hybrid Theory

Hi there, again thanks for helping me with the GA! You said something about changing some parts of the article to avoid redundancy. If you'd please, review the article once more and highlight some of the issues that caught your eye and offer some suggestions about improving them in the second peer review for Hybrid Theory. Thanks! (SUDUSER)₈₅ 06:09, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Godsmack

Hi, would you please talk some sense into User:Demantos. He is trying to merge Godsmack discography with Godsmack. Godsmack has enough music to warrent a seperate article for discography, and any substantially successful band has one on wikipedia. Please comment on his talk page, and comment here.

Thank you,

Skeeker _[Talk] 01:29, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

The article passed the GA review. Thank you so much for helping me out with my first Good Article! Now time for FA. Anything needed for that? Skeeker _[Talk] 21:54, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Would it be a good idea to submit the article for FAC yet or wait a bit?
Thank you,

Alright I have that taken care of. Do you think it is ready now?
Thank you,

Done, I still don't know ho to copyedit, or who to ask to do it for me.

The article is officially FAC.
Thank you,
Skeeker _[Talk] 03:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I have gone through the article numerous times and can's find the "thier" words and such. Also could you comment on this please.
Thank you,
Skeeker _[Talk] 03:35, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Would you mind going through changing the "theirs" that you notice, I tried but you edited the page as I was, and when I change the words they don't seem to make sense. Please see my above comment.
Thank you,
Skeeker _[Talk] 03:43, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Is there a rule for numbers in an article there is a discussion going on on the FAC page about whether to type numbers (two) or just use the numbers (2). One other user said to type numbers up to 10 then use the numbers from 11 and up. Please give your opinion.
Thank you,
Skeeker _[Talk] 22:09, 10 December 2007 (UTC) Godsmack is FA!

Re: UA

It needs a ton of copyediting work before it can even be considered for GA status. If I reviewed it, I'd be ripping shreds into the writing. I'll see what I can do. LuciferMorgan (talk) 09:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

"Entertainment Weekly's Chuck Eddy called Slayer's version of The Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog", to which Araya changed the lyrics to make it a "sex song", a "klutzy remake and an insufferable satanic dirge at album's end, but why would anybody stick around long enough to discover these?".[9]" - Where does this Chuck Eddy use the words "sex song"? Isn't mentioned anywhere in the reference. LuciferMorgan (talk) 09:31, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Give me a few days to copyedit the article. LuciferMorgan (talk) 09:33, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Ceoil is going to copyedit the article in a few days, and that's since I feel he has better skills in that department than myself. After the article is nominated for GA, I really feel it's either Lombardo or Haunting the Chapel for FA. LuciferMorgan (talk) 09:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Deftones WikiProject

Hey guy, it's good to see your projects are kicking serious ass. With that in mind, I'd just like a little advice on how to get my own WikiProject running - specifically one on Deftones (apologies if it offends your true metal sensibilities!)

Anyway, I've completely bastardised the Slayer WikiProject and sandboxed my draft for the WikiProject at User:Seegoon/Deftones project. Mainly, I've just replaced where it said "Slayer" with "Deftones" - your formula seems to work pretty smoothly! Specifically, if you could help me with the assessment table you have in the top right corner of your WikiProject, I'd be highly grateful.

Thanks in advance, Seegoon (talk) 04:48, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Bullet For My Valentine

Have you ever listened to metalcore? If you do not like them and personally don't think they should be called metal, that is your subjective opinion. Like it or not they are just straight metal. Metalcore is a mix of metal and hardcore and while BFMV may have some breakdowns, they are more along the lines of Metallica breakdowns. I really don't think someone is going to call Metallica metalcore.

Untill a subgenre can be found and clearly cited without legitament sites contradicting, then it must remain under the main genre, which is heavy metal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.42.162.134 (talk) 08:32, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

For the sake of things I will let it just remain metal and not re-add the tag heavy metal, even though it links to the heavy metal page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.42.162.134 (talk) 08:35, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Would you mind giving the article another review? It has improved even more. Is it possible for you to get a picture for the infobox? There are pictures on Wikicommons, but apperantly I can't use them. How do I upload a music sample? Skeeker _[Talk] 03:02, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you,

I have added influences and corrected citations. Now would you mind commenting, and copy editing a bit? Another note, please look at Nightwish and Talk:Nightwish#Cleanup, I don't think that the article should be featured anymore, it really sucks.

Thank you,
Burningclean _{[Speak the truth!]} 06:58, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Would that be the only reason? There are really no images of him, I just thought it would be good to include a picture of him. What about the fact that it is of the unplugged show, could I include it in the unplugged section?
Thank you,

question

why do you think Encyclopaedia Metallum and Rockdetector are not reiliable sources?Lykantrop ^(Talk) 23:19, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

So where do you cite from? Ain't every web like this? Most of bands don't have their genre on their homepages, not even on their label's homepages...Lykantrop ^(Talk) 10:13, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't say it's only written by one person, or that it's always incorrect - at least, it was fine for me. By the way dude, what's up...haven't heard from you of late :( — Dihydrogen Monoxide _(Review) 03:35, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

You cite music critics for genres, and Rockdetector is written by Garry Sharpe-Young as seen at the credits. There is correct information but there is incorrect information also. And i've been right here ;p just been busy with xmas the past few days. M3tal H3ad (talk) 03:46, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Metallica article: on Mustaine and Some Kind of Monster

I saw you are working on Metallica. I read there that Mustaine denied the request (about using footage of his meeting with Ulrich for Some Kind of Monster) and that Metallica proceedd to use it anyway. That is false. Mustaine signed a release form at the time, but after some time regretted it. But, as Metallica had the legal permission and wanted to, the footage stayed on the movie. I've read it on the internet and I can probably check that on the book "This Monster Lives" by Joe Berlinger. You might want to check that out. Great work, the article was a mess.--Serte ^{[ Talk · Contrib ]} 22:00, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I just saw Dumbbell Indemnity and how you failed it. Why would you? I wasn't even present at all during the time to give my input and to fix the things up myself, but you just went ahead and failed it according to what that user said. The user that was there is unaware of how Simpsons episodes are GA'd, and Dumbbell Indemnity was perfectly fine. I suggest you go back and promote it now, as it's fixed and fine. xihix(talk) 19:28, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I put the article back on hold. Go back and do what you have to do, review it again, leave new notes, etc. xihix(talk) 01:35, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I also fixed the stuff up on Bart Star, but did not take out the part about Namath. I didn't do so as several other episodes contain information on that, as it is found that the reception of the guest stars from the staff is important. xihix(talk) 06:02, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: A question

I will be working on wikpedia basicaly when I can, so there will always be stuff that I want to work on, but ther is a somewhat list I have.

• Children of Bodom
• Opeth
• Stavesacre (this will be hard they have almost no info online)
• Guns N' Roses (if I do this it probably won't be by myself)
• Lamb of God (band) (I think you are doing this one)
• Machine Head (I will probably do this one soon)
• Mudvayne (probably the only nu metal I like, that I can think of anyway)
• Nevermore
• Queensryche
• Sepultura
• Soulfly
• Shadows Fall
• Skid Row
• Static-X

That is my somewhat list, I'm not sure how many or when I will do them, but what I know is I have to much free time, lol! I'm not sure about album articles, because I don't get how you get all of that recording info into and stuff like that, but there are a few I think would be cool. EX: Kill 'Em All, Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, ...And Justice for All (album), Appetite for Destruction, Use Your Illusion I and II, Dirt (album), Jar of Flies. As for Trivium, I don't like them, so they don't really interest me. They have fantastic music but the lyrics and vocals ruin it for me. I'm am going to put this message on User talk:J Milburn also. Burningclean _{[Speak the truth!]} 04:01, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I see what you mean with the album articles. So newer albums are pretty easy? You must have some books on Slayer. Yeah Mudvayne will be pretty easy, as was Chevelle. Machine Head might be a bit more of a challenge, but the Blackeing section will be pretty easy, you have so much info on the page for it. Do you think Chevelle is featurable? And do you have plans on making all of your GAs into FAs? I feel like a 20 questions game, lol. Burningclean _{[Speak the truth!]} 20:03, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

All right, I just found out I'm going to see them in February with Hellyeah. Have you been to cool gigs? Mudvayne is harder than I thought, it is almost impossible finding formation info. Burningclean _{[Speak the truth!]} 02:45, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
