Hey all, if you like quality work on heavy metal I would appreciate any and all help with reviewing my FAC. It's been open for three weeks, but my FACs often struggle to gain interest and I am once again at risk of archival. I would be open to helping a music-related FAC or GAN in return. mftp dan ^oops 23:51, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Can somebody help us with adding reliable sources to this article about EP by Anthrax? Bearian (talk) 00:32, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

@Bearian: I tried looking but all I found was a single short bit in a self-published book by a music critic. Unsure if that helps.★Trekker (talk) 16:05, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

Ok. I'm going to redirect it. FWIW, I'm friends with the ex-wife of Scott Ian. Bearian (talk) 16:22, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

I am once again asking for assistance on the featured article candidacy on this album. I am doing everything I can to get this promoted, but I am running out of time to get reviewers. So far, I only have a media review and one reviewer who opposed, but whose concerns I have responded to (they have not been around to respond at the time of writing this). I would appreciate any and all feedback you can give. It can be found at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Alice in Chains (album)/archive2. mftp dan ^oops 04:43, 11 August 2025 (UTC)

I've been working on this article for a long while, and I hope to have a third party take a look at it and give it a proper article assessment. I'm not fit to rate it myself because I am the article's primary contributor at this time. I would also highly appreciate any criticism and advice for the article alongside its assessment.

Hi there community, I'm trying very hard to publish an article on the Indian metal band 'Eternal Returns', but I find the list of reliable sources so limiting. Is there an updated list of reliable metal sources for bands from Asia/outside the Anglophone world? Viljowf (talk) 10:24, 3 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello guys, I would kindly ask you for help with an article, because I am not familiar with english Wikipedia an I am not a native speaker. I normally contribute to German Wikivoyage and German Wikipedia taking care of my own favourite bands, which are mostly less known melodic death metal bands. Articles are not big, but relevant, i think. I translated my German article about Marianas Rest and keep it in my namespace here: User:DerFussi/Marianas Rest. Could somebody check the article (the used templatas, the structure and most important, the translation). I am happy to get some advices and if its checked, and relevant I would like to release it to the main namespace. A photo is uploaded but I wait for the VRT-Ticket. Many thanks in advance.... -- DerFussi 08:01, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
