Is this album called III or Led Zeppelin III?!
[edit] Heavy Metal
Heavy Metal should be removed from genre, as Led Zeppelin has always denied that label. Plus, the album is mainly acoustic filled. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.105.51.113 (talk) 01:02, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

- Wikipedia is not built on personal opinion(especially incorrect ones) Wikipedia is built on verifiable, referenced content. And Led Zeppelins association with the heavy metal genre is well referenced and verifiable. 156.34.230.90 01:27, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Album sleeve design
Several months ago I added text which explains the history of the album sleeve design. This information was referenced to reliable, reputable sources (a music magazine interview with a member of Led Zeppelin, who was quoted directly, and a Led Zeppelin reference book). The text has recently been removed and replaced with contrary information which is lacking in any citations.
The history page gives the reasoning of the person who conducted this edit:
This edit comes from the studio of the artist who produced the Led Zeppelin cover art and not from a web site. The information given is 100% correct.
I have reverted the text to its earlier incarnation. If the information in the first, substantiated text is incorrect, the replacement text requires citations from reliable sources. We can't just take anyone's word that the information given is 100% correct. Edelmand (talk) 13:55, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

- A user named Freespirit13 continues to delete verified information about the album cover, replacing it with unsubstantiated information on the grounds that he or she has "first hand information of the events". This is a clear breach of Wikipedia's policy of Wikipedia:Verifiability. The user refers to the December issue of Classic Rock magazine, but I have this publication at hand and it does NOT substantiate what the user is claiming. Jimmy Page is interviewed in the magazine (at pages 36-37) and he mentions nothing whatsoever of the album cover. The only information in the magazine comes from a feature article on Zacron (pages 57-58), who claims that Page was pleased with the album cover. But this is NOT fist hand information from Page himself.
-
- Furthermore, the user continues to delete the following quote without a valid reason:
-
- "I thought it looked very teeny-bopperish. But we were on top of a deadline, so of course there was no way to make any radical changes to it. There were some silly bits - little chunks of corn and nonsense like that."
