Iron Maiden discography[edit]

After much work and help from various users, this "great monster" is ready. Canniba loki 17:16, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from SRX[TRUco]

Comments - Excellent list and well referenced, but a few notes.

After several auditions and lineup changes, the band settled on vocalist Paul Di'Anno, guitarists Dave Murray and Dennis Stratton, and drummer Clive Burr.-They settled for this when they made their debut, correct? (Just making sure..)
There needs to be an overall count of their discography in the lead somewhere.--TRU_CO 21:38, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - meets WP:WIAFL.--TRU_CO 17:18, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Great article, there is very little wrong with it. The only thing that I feel is worth mentioning is that the paragraphs in the lead seem a little intimidating. Per WP:Layout and WP:Lead I would suggest redistributing them into three or four paragraphs (ideally four). The first paragraph should include the current first sentence, and a breakdown of the discography by type – Ikara ^talk → 00:59, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't agree with putting a sentence on top of the lead saying how many albums, singles, compilations, etc they have released, as it can easily be seen on the ~~sand~~ infobox and only makes they lead longer. Also, I've seen in many FL that it's no longer used the phrases: "Discography of", "List of awards and nominations recived by".; That's my opinion.

I agree with you; a bit redundant, since have an infobox to make the count. Canniba loki 03:58, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to remove the phrase "discography of..." from the first sentence, and instead use something like: "Iron Maiden are a British heavy metal band. They have released..." If you keep it as is, there should really be a comma after "Iron Maiden" in the first sentence. However, note that infoboxes are intended as a summary of information in an article, not an alternative, so the list of releases should be included in the prose somewhere. The lead is the most sensible choice in this case – Ikara ^talk → 12:43, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Looks great, but TNOTB has been certified gold in Germany. --78.48.76.229 (talk) 17:13, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done Everything has been updated. The first paragraph of the lead was re-written, and shortedned as much as possible. TNOTB recieved a gold certification in Germany: that was updated too. Rockk3r Spit it Out! 17:22, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent! You have my support as well. --Hullu poro (talk) 10:17, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It looks great, you have my support now. All the best – Ikara ^talk → 00:06, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Disclosure: I helped with the copy-editing of the article. However, all the credit goes to Cannibaloki and Rockk3r. Great job! Dabomb87 (talk) 23:47, 27 November 2008 (UTC) Support igordebraga ≠ 22:29, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
