As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

I created an article for World War III (WWIII) singer Mandy Lion and I would love to get some help to make it better, that is if anyone here knows anything about him that is not already in the article. I hope you can help with this. Thanks, Cra sh U nderride 17:05, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
I LOVE the new look, I just resized it down to the MOST COMMON size. That's one of the reasons that people who have multiple boxes can't get their boxes lined up in an orderly fashion. But like I said, I do love the new look, the tan bg was gettin' old. lol Cra sh U nderride 16:16, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, fellow metalheads. I am new to the English Wikipedia, having mainly contributed to the Danish one, and only recently been able to recover my long lost password to my account of enwiki. I would like to help out here, and I'm starting with the aforementioned list - I'll pull over stuff from the Danish article, which is FL – looking at that list, is there anything I should be aware of when contributing to the English Wikipedia (apart from that I'll have to write in English of course)? --Lhademmor (talk) 11:05, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Go here and voice your opinions. Thanks. Undeath (talk) 06:08, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Could someone perhaps reassess the Mastodon (band) article, it has undergone significant rewrite since it's first assessment. Thanks. —[DeadEyeArrow – Talk – Contribs] 10:06, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello! I need to establish a clear consensus on the issue of how to spell Igor Cavalera's name - he has for the past couple of years spelled it as Iggor. However, I saw an editor recently revert a change to Iggor from Igor and, when I asked him to provide evidence of consensus on the issue, all he could say was "It is simple: Iggor is not his name". As far as I'm concerned, this is entirely inadequate. Please go to Talk:Igor Cavalera and leave comments there.--Vox puppet (talk • contribs) 11:53, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
Apparently all the articles relating to the band Deeds of Flesh have been deleted, out of process in fact. It is still archived at Answers.com here.
Can anybody have this stuff undeleted, please? I think they are notable enough to have their own page, and there should at least have been an Afd vote on it first. --Eastlaw (talk) 07:39, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Okay everyone--we need all hands on deck for this. As I mentioned above, the Deeds of Flesh article was (unfairly) speedily deleted, until J Milburn was kind enough to restore it for me. Now, I need people here to do whatever they feel is appropriate to improve this page before it is moved back to article namespace. The article is currently in my user space here: User:Eastlaw/Deeds of Flesh.
I mean, come on, Deeds of Flesh has pages in five other languages, but not English?! This is unacceptable, and I call upon all of you to help me change this situation. --Eastlaw (talk) 04:56, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
It needs expansion. And it didn't take my edit of expanding. So someone who knows BDM well, please give a expansive article.
Especially the 'intentionally' bit has got to be re-worded. thanks METALFREAK04 (talk) 16:22, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
I was wondering if in the tables for the bands a section showing which bands they were influenced by and which bands they influenced, could be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.115.82.239 (talk) 05:00, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
I remember a while back just about every metal band's page had their logo shown on it. now they're all gone for some reason. can someone who knows about this please tell me why? cos i think the logos should still be there. Okram 09 (talk) 02:13, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
There now be a folk metal featured sound:
However, I wasn't able to get the formatting quite right on the front page. Everything to do with sounds is a horrible hack. =/
Anyway! In the admittedly unlikely event that some other metal band has released songs under Creative Commons or a similar free licence - or if you just want to nominate more Balkandji - please nominate them at WP:Featured sound candidates. Cheers! Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 01:48, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey guys,
Can anyone help me with the Zero Hour (band) article? It was deleted previously, but I believe it satisfies the WP:MUSIC guidelines in that a) they're one of the foremost technical metal bands and b) they're on Sensory Records, a label that has also published Riverside, Gordian Knot, Edenbridge, and Redemption. What can I do about the article to keep it from being deleted again? --Daniel Klein (talk) 15:13, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 22:32, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
If anyone's interested, the Slipknot live album, 9.0: Live, is currently at FAC. Please post comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/9.0: Live if you can, as it has stalled and has not received comments in the past few days. Thanks in advance!

Hello Metalheads, I created an article about Angband, but It was deleted. once the previous creator claimed they are the first metal band from Iran to sign a deal with a European records company but didnt have enough sources, I have many sources like: www.lordsofmetal.nl , www.stormbringer.at , www.localradio.pehzeh.net
www.metal-rules.com , www.blabbermouth.net and their album has lots of good feedbacks, I created a page in my sandbox: User:Spada2/Sandbox the question I have: can I create the page not mentioning the first band thing due to their positive feedbacks? And I've been told that someone in the wikipedia Project Music should review the article first.
Thanks in advance--Spada2 (talk) 11:50, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Salt the Wound (if I am correct) released an album recently and received mainstream sucess this year, there should be an article for Salt the Wound. Y B K
Salt the Wound is not really advised to make an article in my opinion. This is becuase the band is quite young and the artilce will just be another stub, thus another thing wikipedians have to keep on refreshing every minute of a day. I am not saying all young-bands should be excluded, but this band has not really been heard of other than its country (USA). I am European and I never heard this band before, but metalcore is not my genre however. But, all my bands like Abysmal Torment, Defilement, Goratory etc, would not be either here. Even though some of them are 'mainstream' in the sense of that genre. So I would say stick it in a sandbox and set up a good enough article then I would get it approved by an admin Wikipedian to then put it up, or its just gonna end up being deleted again and again...like Corpsefucking Art is. METALFREAK04 (talk) 12:43, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
I started crafting the page in my sandbox, does anybody else wanna help? Y B K
There's currently an important discussion going on about the removal of genre fields in band and album infoboxes. You can read the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music#Time to remove genre section on info box? and provide any opinions you may have. WesleyDodds (talk) 07:28, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Could someone create a page for this band? It's just that Blessed By A Broken Heart has a page and they aren't well known. This band needs a page and a page for their upcoming albumshould come when they think of a title. Here's some proof that they exsist: Their youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/ALLIASKBAND Their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/alliaskrock Here's what their genre's are: Metalcore, Post-Hardcore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonasbrotherareterrible (talk • contribs) 21:57, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
A vocalist/guitarist of Nile. Recently, his page was put up for deletion. I tried to improve it. What do you think? Is it worth keeping? I sure hope it is. BTC 02:22, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
I have been going around wikipedia the last few days, and I can't help but notice that in the infoboxes for bands and albums, the information about the genre is missing! Why is it missing? I checked one of the guideline pages and the infobox information for the genre is missing there too. Why is this? I'll be honest, I don't really like it. BTC 01:38, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
I find it disappointing that that had to happen, but I guess I can't do anything about it. I guess the wikipedia board did what they needed to do, though. BTC 20:08, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
All of Sepultura's singles from 2003 to now are missing, probably due to all the Max heads or the need not to because they had no charting singles in the USA or the UK, whatever the case may be someone please fix it. Sepulwiki November 21, 2008
See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gallactus ChildofMidnight (talk) 01:07, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
The input of editors familiar with such bands might be useful at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Slaughterhouse (band). Regards So Why 22:28, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
WP:BH wants to expand into a real WikiProject and maybe include additional related artists in the future. See WT:BH for discussion. Any input welcomed!
Happy new Headcheese!-hexaChord2 02:17, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Hello. You might not know me because I have not yet joined this project, I'm a bit of a newbie here. I came here to ask if anyone has magazine articles about Disturbed, especially for the album Indestructible, as the article is currently at FAC and concerns were raised that printed sources are needed for comprehensiveness. If anyone here has such print sources, please help by using them to expand and source the article.--Almax999 07:08, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Attention metalheads! I've recently reworked these articles extensively, with help from FireCrystal and Cannibaloki. We've added a huge number of references (among which we have tried to ensure as much reliability as possible), performed some pretty thorough copyediting, and included any interesting and relevant information that we have found. I am going to submit these three articles for peer review, which means that you can nitpick our work and offer suggestions, if you are so inclined. Just go to Wikipedia:Peer review and leave a comment or ten. I encourage you to pull no punches in your assessments.
Oh, and when you leave comments, would you please put them in a new subsection, with your username as the header, and write them as a bulleted list? That would make it much easier for me to address your concerns. Thank you.
Sincerely, Huntthetroll (talk) 10:50, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
oh, jeez. I just looked at this article, and it is almost horrifying. heavily POV, and just poorly written in general. There is only one source on the whole page, and it only covers 2 sentences (which either do not need their own section, or should be greatly expanded upon). I won't have the time to do anything major for a couple weeks, so if anyone else who knows about this was so inclined, almost anything would be helpful.
im not part of the project, but everynow and then i'll get on wiki and look up a band i've recently heard. what i've noticed is that there seems to be a wide variety of metl genres listed on wikipedia. Music on wiki needs to be organized by wide music styles, then categorized into genres and subgenres.
heres an example
Genere: metal Sub-genre: metalcore style: mathcore Also labeled as: hardcore, rapcore, and thrash metal (this genre applying to loosly applied genre terms)
anyways, if anyone agrees, b sure 2 drop a line 2 wiki, and try to colaborate with other people on the project.

I'm here to let you know that ten articles on songs by Buckethead are nominated for deletion. Discussions can be found here and here. Any help appreciated! --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 16:25, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 05:59, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
