[edit] Iron Maiden (band)

Partial self-nom - a LOT of hard work had gone into this article before I added several major edits towards the end. Several minor tweaks later by several parties and the piece is, we feel, ready to go. POV in particular has been greatly edited. Perhaps a bit off-beat to nominate a metal band, but hey aint that why Wikipedia is great? Thanks for reading. --PopUpPirate 23:27, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

• object needs to go through peer review, needs spelling corrections and a copyedit desperately. lines like: "To wait for cash to be sent from England was taking forever, and the band entrusted $50 to their manager Rod Smallwood, who promptly set of to the casino and returned with $300 every night for 6 nights." do not make me feel good about this article right now.  ALKIVAR™ 23:55, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Object concur that this piece should visit peer review.. plenty of non-encylopedic writing: "Harris and Murray went through a ridiculous number of band members throughout the 1970s", etc. Fawcett5 01:06, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The article has been through Peer Review and the POV issues have been addressed. I've checked the official Iron Maiden family tree, and inserted the correct amount of band members (in place of "ridiculous number" !) and I'd agree that the casino tale is not necessary for the article and it has been removed. Thx. --PopUpPirate 22:43, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

Made a few edits yesterday that hopefully improved readability and made it sound a bit more encyclopedic. --MordredKLB 21:01, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

• support I wrote an roiginal part of the article, some of it still reamisn after the great edit it went through. This article is extremely profesional, compared to any other article about metal bands. User: Coburnpharr04 April 7, 2004 6:30 ET

No offense but if your spelling here is any indication of your editing on the Iron Maiden article, I definately definitely wont won't be removing my objection til until someone comes through and spellchecks/copyedits it. :)  ALKIVAR™ 23:38, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Fawcett: LOL ... ok so I don't spell good either, I still say it needs a spellcheck/copyedit :)  ALKIVAR™ 17:44, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I want through and spell-checked the entire document and hopefully brought it up to snuff. --MordredKLB 21:01, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
