List of Metallica concert tours

Nominator(s): Nergaal (talk) 23:38, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I think it passes the FL criteria. However, this is nomination #5 and I wonder if this is a dead horse...Nergaal (talk) 23:38, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is the best format to use? I find List of Nine Inch Nails concert tours to be much more elegant.—indopug (talk) 05:10, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It is disappointing as an editor to get from reviewers comparisons of apples to oranges. That band does not have the same lineup between tours, and it went on tour 9 times; that list emphasizes that. Metallica has had very few member changes and a ton of different tours.

Comments - By MusicMight.com About page it does not suggest to be reliable. Afro (Talk) 10:29, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ - I'm gonna oppose due to lack of activity, my comment doesn't seem to of been addressed in the last 2 weeks while the article has received no edits in the past 15 days. Afro (Talk) 20:43, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I've removed the MMight reference and replaced with better ones. Nergaal (talk) 01:58, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ref 60's has an incorrect publisher it should be Boston Globe. I think most of the problems I've had were addressed in previous Nominations. Afro (Talk) 10:01, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed and added author. Nergaal (talk) 18:57, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I'll support I have no problems with the list. Afro (Talk) 10:45, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be willing to support if the above issue would actually be addressed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 17:15, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PRovisional support. Just have one issues: Second sentence starts with "Asides from Ulrich"; it should be Aside. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 04:53, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

**During the tour, Metallica played for the first time at the Monsters of Rock festival, at Donington Park in England, in front of 70,000 people.[11] — too much useless commas; you can also write: During the tour, Metallica played for the first time at the Monsters of Rock festival at Donington Park in England in front of 70,000 people.[11]

- ~~"DVD's" should be "DVDs"-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 14:48, 25 February 2011 (UTC)~~[reply]
  - Fixed all but the italics. The only things that are italized are the album, DVD, and song names. Could you point out where you saw it? Nergaal (talk) 18:54, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Seems to be resolved, but I don't understand why you wrote the concert tours inside quotes.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 10:54, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - I thought it would be similar to TV episode names. I could remove them if you think they shouldn't be present. Nergaal (talk) 15:38, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        I don't think they should be in quotes; they are no media. Also the concert tours in the FLC indopug introduced you are not inside quotes.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 16:41, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Removed all ". Nergaal (talk) 23:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

The last two tours in the fourth paragraph don't need repeated links.
1990s tours: "with crowds of 60,000, and 30,000 spectators respectively." Minor point, but the comma after 60,000 should be removed.
2000s tours: "played in its entirety in their proper sequence for the first time." Tenses (its, their) don't match here.

"The tour will end with concerts in Australia and New Zealand in November, 2010." Needs an update; also, the comma after November isn't necessary.
- It now reads "The tour will ended". In addition to removing "will", that comma is still there. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 20:27, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
~~Other performances: 2000–2003 has an "audition" that should be "auditioned".~~
Publisher of reference 6 should be italicized since Rolling Stone is a magazine (printed publication). Same for references 43 (Iowa State Daily) and 89 (Metal Hammer).
- Check the formatting of reference 6; it's showing up in the article. I think there's an excess slash. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 20:27, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
~~Reference 60 has a formatting error. Check the linking of the publisher; I often have trouble with this.~~ Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:56, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed all and a few more. Nergaal (talk) 23:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Fixed the two missed issues. Nergaal (talk) 20:57, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
