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. Nergaal (talk) 07:34, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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]

*Comments

**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]

    • "2 x 4" should be "2 × 4"
    • As a tour supporting album St. Anger, it marked the first time the new bassist, Robert Trujillo played live with the band.[69] — comma after Robert Trujillo, as it is a parenthesis.
    • During their only performance of 2002, the band introduced themselves as Bob's Band (after Bob Rock who helps on bass).[87] — maybe you should use simple past form because he was later replaced with Trujillo?
    • Explain why you italicized the tours by Metallica but not by other bands.
    • "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]
