Is there any reason to use quotation marks around the list of track names? This isn't done, for example, in a list of articles in a journal, although it is when those article titles are cited in running text... Tkinias 04:54, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] track name

hey, i stumbled on this http://www.kickedintheface.com/reviews/Iron_Maiden-Number_Of_The_Beast.htm any one know where the extra track came from? (thats right, NOTB has nine tracks here!)

Check below the track listing (here), you have your answer. — Prodigenous Zee - 11:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

The extra track "Total Eclipse" was originally a b-side on the single "Run to the Hills"

[edit] Life's Shadow ?

The trivia line :

The song "Hallowed Be Thy Name" contains several verses that were "borrowed" (without giving credit) from a song by Beckett, called "Life's Shadow", from their 1974 selftitled album. Later on, Iron Maiden would cover Beckett's song "A Rainbow's Gold" for their 1984 single "2 Minutes To Midnight". Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood was Beckett's agent before meeting Iron Maiden.

is kind of puzzling ... can't find the song anywhere and nothing proves the "borrowing" as explained here

did smith or harris write the words to the prisoner(or both?

Image:Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

[edit] Total Eclipse

According to http://www.ironmaiden.com/index.php?categoryid=22&p2_articleid=305 and everywhere else I have seen, the song Total Eclipse was not written by Paul Di'Anno, but by Harris/Murray/Burr. Please correct this if it is correct.

[edit] Over 20 million?

If this has 'sold over 20 million albums worldwide' then why is it not included in the List of best-selling albums worldwide, where there is a section for sales of over 20 million? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.243.233.221 (talk) 17:47, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
