The article The Ed Hunter Tour is unsourced, not given wikiproject tags, and needs major work. WhisperToMe (talk) 12:48, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
I recently put the album article Xtort up for peer review. I figured that editors in this project could offer more precise criticisms, on average, than any random passersby, so I'm just putting a note about it here. Thanks in advance for anyone that helps out, and apologies if this is not an appropriate forum to request attention. Torchiest (talk | contribs) 18:19, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

? | Use common sense. Ultimately, assume good faith on the part of others, be bold in editing because perfection is not required. See Wikipedia:Editing policy for more information. Before starting a new article! - Notability is a concern that must be adhered to. See Wikipedia:Notability (music) for more information. |
I. | Use references. This is an encyclopedia, so remember to include a ==References== section listing websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you used to write the article. New articles and statements added to existing articles may be deleted if unreferenced or referenced poorly. See Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Cite sources and Wikipedia:References for more information. |
II. | Use proper spelling and grammar. This is a very important aspect of an article. "We want to learn editors to write proper" There are helpful guidelines in regards to styles. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (music) for more information. |
III. | Use footnotes. Take advantage of the footnote ability Wikipedia has, instead of including html links inside the context include them as footnotes. See Wikipedia:Footnotes on how to use them. |
IV. | Write a good lead. Be sure to write a lead that concisely summarizes the entire article into one or two paragraphs, which make sense to someone who may know nothing about the subjects in question. See Wikipedia:Lead section for more information. |
V. | Stay on topic. Many articles are criticized for length; sticking to the subject matter helps eliminate this. See Wikipedia:The perfect article for more information. |
VI. | Keep it simple. Remember that the average reader should be able to comprehend the erudition. Although you should use a broad vocabulary of regular, non-technical terms, do not provide such a quantity of locutions as to impel those who aspire to derive serviceable information from the article to consult a dictionary. |
VII. | Use images if possible. Images enhance articles greatly, but only use them when they are necessary, and ensure that their copyright status has been specified and we are allowed to use it on Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Images |
There is a discussion going on about the Nu metal page, and whether certain sources are reliable. I think additional editors commenting on it would be helpful. Go here to join the conversation. Thanks. Torchiest talk/contribs 16:23, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
I've nominated this list for featured list status. Please feel free to comment here. RG (talk) 21:14, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
A request has been made at User:Xenobot/R#WP:METAL to tag & auto-assess articles in the scope of this project based on these categories and/or auto-assess the project's unassessed articles.
To auto-assess, Xenobot Mk V (talk · contribs) looks for a ((stub)) template on the article, or inherits the class rating from other project banners (see here for further details).
Feel free to raise any questions or concerns regarding this process. The task will commence after 72 hours if there are no objections.

This wikia is pretty inactive and could use with some more activity. If anybody has an interest in Christian music and/or has an interest in adding articles to or editing existing articles of the Christian music wikia, then feel free to join it. The link is here.

The 1987/88 album Soul-Crusher by White Zombie is currently listed under WikiProject Metal but should really be under WikiProject Punk music. Although the band became more grounded in heavy/groove metal later on in their career, anything they released prior to 1989 sounded more like Black Flag, Flipper, and The Birthday Party (whom they were heavily influenced by at the time).--Soul Crusher (talk) 01:18, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
I tagged several unreferenced BLPs to be merged into the pages for their parent bands. Before I make the merges I want to give anyone the opportunity to make a case for any of them to keep their stand-alone pages. If any are kept they will need to be at least partially referenced. The pages are:
I think they are all pretty noncontroversial merges but it never hurts to get a second opinion. These are the last of the BLPs that are tagged for this project that are still unreferenced. Thanks J04n(talk page) 19:34, 14 June 2010 (UTC) All of the above have been merged and here is another:

I am curious as to whether or not Spirit of Metal band pages can be regarded as reliable sources on wikipedia. I doubt they are, due to the edit-friendly nature of that website, but I want some extra opinions on this issue. A user by the name of Motaros has added on the Katatonia page that the band formed in 1987, as opposed to the long-standing 1991, and is sourcing the Spirit of Metal Katatonia band page as evidence, so that is why I'm wondering. Thank you for the time. Here are the relevant edits to this specific issue.

Does anyone have magazine articles about Discordance Axis? I want to improve this article, but I just found a few online reviews.--Canniba loki 01:18, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Missing pictures on certain articles due over all of some wikimedia administrators (i.e. Rastrojo from Spain) considering such images as "promotional"... wondering myself why do some bands spread a huge bunch of pictures and others cannot print even a band logo. Who can explain such Mickey Mouse moves? By the other side, under the same criteria all band pictures should be considered "promotional" if the band remains active, am I wrong?

Hello all. I'm new enough to this Project business, so I'm not exactly au fait with what to do. Anyway, I recently came across an article that cited NWOBHM as a genre. As we all should know, it is an era/movement, not a genre. Since then I've been doing searches and finding references to it as a genre in infoboxes and such, and removing them. The more I do, however, the more I realise I'm only scratching the surface. So, I'm inviting anyone who's interested to help me out in correcting this annoying error to do so. There's a lot more work in it than I can imagine getting through myself. Baron Ronan Doyle (Sprechen mit mir) 21:19, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Can anyone bring or find any other sources for The Devil Wears Prada's upcoming EP? Not a lot is being said about it, although it's seeming to show that they just are keeping it as a secret until further notice this summer. • GunMetal Angel 04:10, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
I have put this article about this glam metal or so band up for deletion. For more information, see the above band's article and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Action Bullet. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 21:09, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
I just saw Dark Castle from St. Augustine at the Empty Bottle in Chicago. Why have none of you metal assholes properly wikied this band yet? They were captivating. This is a lapse in proper documentation of an awesome band. For sweet baby Jesus's titty-fucking sake, I hope someone who knows anything about Dark Castle will at least have the common courtesy to write a respectable wiki about them because the current one is just piss-fucking poor.
It doesn't surprise me though. Fucking Skeletonwitch, the Goddamn best band in metal right now, can't even find it in their fucking priorities to add anything to their website other than "Coming Soon" and their previous album cover. Not even their most current release!!!! (ok Beyond the Permafrost was way better, but still!!)
What is wrong with you metalers? Seriously, do you want to be taken seriously as a genre or not? I love you. I always have and I always will, but I have news for you: you aren't the only genre out there. These hipsters, emoers and other jackasses who aren't ashamed to peddle their faggotry are stealing your market share and laughing all the way to the bank. You need to get over your bullshit street cred fantasies, or laziness, or whatever the fuck is preventing you from promoting yourselves properly and get down to business. Hire a damn media director or some shit. God, it's so frustrating to see you firing all of this talent in to the void of no attention. Your music is sweet. Your art is sweet. You deserve more than eating shit on a tour bus and making your chicks sell t-shirts at the damn merch booth. There is a better way!

Hi, everybody! Got a specific question. I'm on my way in creating the article about the belgian neo-classical power metal band Iron Mask. The point is, that this saturday Iron Mask's songs were placed in rotation by major national radio broadcasting company of Republic of Belarus Radio Minsk. This company is included in the List of international radio broadcasters (also:Broadcasting in the Soviet Union and List of radio stations in Belarus). This can be checked here - Massabrutto - this is the title of national rock/metal radioprogram, that is translated on Radio Minsk every saturday night from 00.00 to 03.00. There also was an interview with the member of Iron Mask Roma Siadletski on the air. Does it meet the notability criteria 1.11: Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network Wikipedia:Notability (music)?Dzimozz (talk) 14:02, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
That is all I have for now, but I appreciate your enthusiasm about this page. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 18:26, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
PS: As for whether it could fit notability standards by wikipedia, I will say that it probably has a good chance. If I had to vote, I would probably vote keep, one reason being that they're signed to Lion Music. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 18:30, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
To anyone interested: this page has since been moved to Iron Mask (band). Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 23:40, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Thought the WIkiProject Metal Group-members might want to post their thoughts at the AfD above. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 22:53, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
Founded in 1996 by Dietrick Hardwick, this community is well-known for spearheading the resurgence and popularity of Progressive and Power Metal music. It was the catalyst for many domestic and international independent and underground bands to gain a foothold in the US, and provided a conduit to a very large sector of fans for interaction and promotion.
The core members and moderators of the group have been instrumental in bringing many bands to the States to the first time. PM Members Rene Janssen established the annual ProgPower Europe, and Glenn Harveston launched the now-famous annual ProgPower USA. The forum is currently moderated by Larry Daglieri.
