[edit] Iron Maiden (band)

Partial self nom. Second time in FAC, it's been through 2 lots of peer review and has been much edited to bring the standard of prose up to scratch. --PopUpPirate 16:35, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

Object. Move the detailed table about the band's membership to a subpage called Iron Maiden personnel or something similar. Need at least a partial discography on the front page (top ten, twenty, or forty singles and albums should be fine) in a list with the dates and chart positions, not just in the navagation bar. Reformat the Iron Maiden discography page to remove the glaring bold print, and place song titles in quote ("Running Free", "Sanctuary", etc.). Format ctations to be in APA style (see Wikipedia:Cite sources for templates). Also, you might get objections from others for not having in-line references or a few short (30 seconds or less) samples of notable songs. --FuriousFreddy 18:42, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Objections taken into account, will take 24 hours to sort sources out. --PopUpPirate 21:00, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
  • 30 second audio clips added, plus inline references painstakingly checked and added! APA sorted too--PopUpPirate 22:11, July 31, 2005 (UTC)
    • Good work. The main article still needs a brief list of hit or notable singles. --FuriousFreddy 14:52, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
      • Added and verified. --PopUpPirate 19:05, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

    1. The image Image:Steve harris.jpg has no copyright or source information.
    2. The image Image:Powerslave Box.jpg has no copyright or source information.
    3. The image Image:Eddie the Head.jpg is claimed as "public domain". I find this claim improbable in the extreme.
    4. The image Image:Iron Stick 800.jpg is claimed as "fair use". Wikipedia is not just an encyclopedia, it is a free content encyclopedia, and as such, the use of images under "fair use" and other non-free licenses should be kept to a minimum. Images that are used under "fair use" need to have the current copyright holder listed, and need to have the reasons why it can be used under fair use listed for each page the image is used on.
    5. The sound clips Image:IronMaidenPhantom.ogg, Image:IronMaidenRTTH.ogg, Image:IronMaidenCSIT.ogg, Image:IronMaidenSOTC.ogg, Image:IronMaidenBNW.ogg do not have copyright or source information listed. If they are being used under fair use, they also need to have reasoning as to why that use is justified listed.

    • Image:Steve harris.jpg is unsourced and has been replaced with an official promotional photo. Image:Eddie the Head.jpg has been replaced with a degraded image from official album art. Other images have been checked and tagged, as have sound clips. --PopUpPirate 10:50, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support - If you ever wanted to know anything about Iron Maiden, this is the place. --Kvuo 01:40, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Object. The loose anecdotes in the section "Tales Of The Beast" don't qualify as brilliant prose. Most of the content would be better incorporated in the history section and put into context. I suggest merging "Satanic accusations" with the text in "The Golden Years" (where the Satanic accusations are already mentioned), and "Chart breaking" with "Reunion" (great indication of their post-reunion popularity). The Dune controversy would be great indicator of the far-from-universal acceptance of heavy metal; this could also be elaborated upon and connected with the history. The "Teenage Dirtbag" anecdote doesn't seem noteworthy at all (unless it is more famous than the article indicates), "Trouble with the locals" should probably be in the article about Dave Murray (but can also be merged with the history). Sections "The Rising Force", "The Golden Years" and "Tales Of The Beast" should also be renamed to something more neutral/objective. Fredrik | talk 11:06, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Points taken into consideration and applied. Thx. --PopUpPirate 14:30, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
      • Good work. I think there's room for some additional streamlining, but I can't spot any major flaws. Support. Fredrik | talk 15:54, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Support - Improvements look great.--ZeWrestler Talk 13:59, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
