Thanks!
Hey, I saw you recommended my draft to Curly Turkey. I really appreciate it! Based on the backlog, I was expecting about a six month wait. Happy New Year!--L1A1 FAL (talk) 00:12, 31 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Update - Hey Retro, I appreciate you asking someone to take a look at Hidden Treasures, but I'm thinking about quick-failing the article myself... and renominating to find a more cooperative reviewer. I really expect some communication during a GA review, and I don't feel that the reviewer in question has displayed that quality. As I pointed out on his own page, he's talked more to you about the article than he has to me. In any case, I do appreciate your help. Thanks again, and happy new year!--L1A1 FAL (talk) 19:58, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I can finish the process instead of you, if you don't mind. We're really close to getting this one to GA, and waiting another six months for a reviewer is wasting time, at least from my perspective. I can find another source for the single being released in 1990, and we can wrap this review.--Retrohead (talk) 22:17, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * No, I got this one. Just talked to Curly, and it was just a misunderstanding on my part. if you want to add the source, feel free to, but I'll deal with the rest of the stuff. That damn article is so close though. It's the only thing keeping me from trying to make a good topic featuring the Megadeth studio discography. Thanks again!--L1A1 FAL (talk) 23:01, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey, I need your assistance with something on the HT review. Can you verify some of the stuff about "No More Mr Nice Guy" that Curly brought up? Cited source is Buckley 2003 (Rough guide to rock or something like that). I'm presuming book that was one of your additions. Thanks--L1A1 FAL (talk) 01:09, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Another OMEGA idea
Hey, now that we got Hidden Treasures knocked out, what do you think of the idea of making the fourteen albums plus the EP into a good topic? That was something I was hoping to do, but I'm not sure how. Does it have to be a book or something first? What's your thoughts on the matter? Thanks again for the work on HT and take care!--L1A1 FAL (talk) 01:27, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm definitely for it. You can find more about the procedure at WP:GT. I'll leave the candidature to you, because I'm busy right now with a GA review and improving Puppets. Good luck.--Retrohead (talk) 10:26, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Falcon's Fury
Hey Retrohead, would you mind leaving a few comments (or just a support ) on the Falcon's Fury FAC review. I know you left comments before but that review was closed due to a lack of responses. Thanks!-- Dom497 ( talk ) 15:57, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

It Won't Be Soon Before Long
There's an IP added unproperly sources, especially Rolling Stones where says "one of major pop rock sellers" does not means a pop rock album. Has any reliable sources for others.115.164.50.60 (talk) 06:04, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Tomislav Kezarovski
Hi, thank you for your improvements! If you like, have a look to the Macedonian version. It is still too long and wasn't easy to write.--Stonepillar (talk) 11:47, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
 * No problem, I'll check the Macedonian one. That's my native language, it should be easier job.--Retrohead (talk) 12:14, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. But please could you look again into the Mac text: they threaten to delete the whole text. It would be better to improve it! Or do they ant to liquidate Kezarovski for political reasons??? --Stonepillar (talk) 11:21, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

List of thrash metal bands
I integrated the images on the list of thrash metal bands into the list table. That hopefully takes the article a lot closer to addressing the issues found during the FL nomination, and hopefully the article will be ready to re-undergo the process.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 20:19, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking care of that issue. I probably won't open a second nomination in near future, but if you have the patience to go through the process, you can make a try.--Retrohead (talk) 10:46, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Tunnel Vision FAC
Здраво Ретро. Може една голема услуга? Ќе можеш ли да направиш review на "Tunnel Vision" на FAC-oт на статијата? Ти благодарам и биди ми поздравен! =) — Tomíca (T2ME) 11:27, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Ок, ќе погледам веднаш.--Retrohead (talk) 11:34, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

City of Angels FAC
Hi Retrohead! After your comment at the first FA nomination for City of Angels (Thirty Seconds to Mars song), the article underwent a copyediting treatment and the discussion about the genre came to an end. Would you like to comment at the current nomination? Your help would be very much appreciated.--Earthh (talk) 12:04, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Will take a look sometime this week. Thanks for letting me know.--Retrohead (talk) 11:05, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Puppets FA2
I think you've rushed into this again—there are still unresolved issues, such as insufficient context and referencing—I mean, ref#3 is to "pp. Chapter 5 & 7"?!? And ref#22 is to "pp. 34, 53–54, 61–63, 72–73"—no! That ref doesn't point to each of those pages each time it's used. Take a look at a few recent FAs and see how page referencing is done. I don't want to have to oppose again, but seriously, the article still needs some more care and shouldn't have been renominated yet. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 00:04, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I used chapters because Google Books somehow can not count pages on certain books (example). These things are a sword with two blades. If I go with the "sfn" refs, the referencing style won't be consistent because there is a good amount of books with one page used and it wouldn't be necessary to list those books in 'Bibliography'. I've tried to use the sources chronologically, ex. "a" from ref 22 is the first page cited, etc.--Retrohead (talk) 00:18, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * There are plenty of ways to handle it without s, and a mix of short references and non-short references is acceptable at FAC. What's not acceptable is something like ref#22—obviously each citation to it is not cited four separate page ranges.  Of course, referencing isn't the only issue left open, though.  Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 02:11, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The book you're mentioning, Birth School Metallica Death (chapters 5 and 7 used), doesn't display page counter (link/proof). Therefore I can not provide exact pages as you require. The same issue is with McIver's book. I can handle Wall's and Bowcott's sources based on the draft you created, but that would create discrepancy in the sourcing. It's not that I don't want to cite exact pages, but I'm not able to do that. That's why I'm citing chapters with visible titles.--Retrohead (talk) 21:07, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Featured Article candidates
I have finished a review for Master of Puppets, and left some suggestions on things that may be fixed. Can I ask you, in return, to review Featured article candidates/Graduados/archive1? It is an Argentine soap opera that includes several references to the world of rock music. Cambalachero (talk) 16:34, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll take a look at it. Thanks for your input at Puppets.--Retrohead (talk) 20:10, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Today's featured article/March 16, 2015
Hi Retrohead. A summary of a Featured Article you nominated at WP:FAC will appear on the Main Page soon. Does the article need more work before its day on the Main Page? I had to squeeze the summary down to around 1200 characters; was there anything I left out you'd like to see put back in? - Dank (push to talk) 15:55, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The summary reads fine. You may replace the released singles with another information (let's say the "dry" prodiction) because they don't seem very notable. Thanks for informing me on this one.--Retrohead (talk) 08:15, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Done, glad you liked it! - Dank (push to talk) 13:18, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 *  precious  again, and what a title! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:39, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

FAC
I saw a conversation regarding a few archives of Featured article candidates/Falcon's Fury/archive4 awhile back since the FA reviews did not receive enough attention. It kind of bummed me out. If you have a minute, can you take a look and offer any other thoughts? On a side note, Master of Puppets is a great album and I will pop in and offer a review over the next day or so! Cptnono (talk) 05:55, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll definitely make suggestions at Falcon's Fury FAC. It's a pity that the nomination hasn't attracted more attention among reviewers, but I'll submit some comments this weekend, when I'm school free. And thanks for your input on Puppets, that album deserves a proper article.--Retrohead (talk) 10:19, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Peer review/Don't Stop the Music (Rihanna song)/archive1
Hey Retro. Can you please check out the PR? I want to bring the article to FA, so I would like to see your comments how further to improve the prose. Thanks! — Tomíca (T2ME) 21:18, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Will make comments as soon as possible.--Retrohead (talk) 17:05, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Long time no see
Hey Retro, how's it going? As you can probably tell, I have only been sporadically active over the last couple months or so. Been editing a little more over the past couple days though. I got an endorsement to put the draft for the 15th Megadeth album live now, so I'm probably gonna do that soon. Have a good one!--L1A1 FAL (talk) 15:39, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey L1, glad to here you. I'm not much active as well, but it's great to hear that the draft is becoming an official article. I've heard that Megadeth is entering the studio tomorrow, so readers will have some quality background on the forthcoming album.--Retrohead (talk) 17:05, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

The Thing That Should Not Be
Until recently, the Master of Puppets article featured a pretty embarrassing mistake - the claim that "The Thing That Should Not Be" was downtuned "two and a half steps to C#". After going through the edit history of the article, I saw someone else tried to correct this mistake a month ago, only to have the damage restored by you. First of all, the studio version of "The Thing That Should Not Be" is in drop D. It is played in C# standard live, but not in the studio version featured on the album. However, there was another mistake with the "two and a half steps to C#" statement - two and a half steps down is B, not C# standard, which is one and a half steps down from E standard tuning. I am leaving you this message in the hopes that you do not decide to repeat the error again. 24.163.57.88 (talk) 03:46, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I apologize for my inaccuracy. I mechanically reverted that edit presuming it for vandalism since the user did not leave an edit summary. Appreciate the suggestion, but I see that Curly Turkey already corrected the error.--Retrohead (talk) 21:59, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

City of Angels FAC
Hi Retrohead! After your support at the last FA nomination for City of Angels (Thirty Seconds to Mars song), the article received a peer review and is a current featured article candidate. Would you like to comment at the current nomination? Your help would be very much appreciated.--Earthh (talk) 18:22, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry to bother you again, but the review seems to have stalled (for the fourth times), any helpful comment would be very much appreciated.--Earthh (talk) 10:05, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Enthiran PR
Hi, I am Ssven2. I had recently taken this film article starring Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai to GA status and nominated it for FAC, but it was withdrawn due to WP:PUNC and MOS:LQ issues, most of which have now been resolved. Do let me know if you are interested in leaving additional comments about any prose issues and any copyediting left to be resolved at the article's 2nd PR. Thanks. — Ssven2  Speak 2 me '' 09:26, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey Ssven2, thanks for asking me on this one. As you can see in my edit history, I'm sporadically active this year, so I can't provide swift feedback on the peer review. However, I promise to read it and eventually comment the following weekend. All the best.--Retrohead (talk) 17:36, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Billion Dollar Baby GAR
Hey, you're not supposed to close a community assessment if you've been involved in the discussion or the article itself. What you want would've been the individual assessment. I'm going to have to close Blues for the Red Sun as no consensus for delisting, but if you're still after it, you need to do an individual assessment. Having not looked into it at depth, it looks like you may be putting 3a on a featured article level. The lead issue is something that could be easily address. Overall though, I'm not going to do anything to stop if you if you decide to push for it. DragonZero ( Talk  ·  Contribs ) 03:48, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Ooh—Billion Dollar Babies! I won't comment on whether it should have been delisted (I've never quite understood exactly where the cutoff for GA was), but this is an article that definitely could be greatly expanded (plenty of sources) and really deserves it.  I've got a bunch of other things on my plate right now (both on and off WP), but if nobody gets around to it, I'll probably tackle the article myself. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 05:55, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Whoops, I thought I opened an individual reassessment! You're right, I'm not supposed to close it (conflict of interest), but the main editor hasn't been active in a few years, so I doubt I would have received any feedback. Anyway, the page had some serious issues that would take more time than required to address them.--Retrohead (talk) 13:36, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Just to let you know...
Hey, just wanted to let you know that due to persistent IP edits, I'm probably going to put this live. Ten Pound Hammer already gave his OK for it anyway, so no reason to keep sitting on it I guess. Hope all's well!--L1A1 FAL (talk) 23:24, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure, go for it. I see another GA there.--Retrohead (talk) 14:50, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Re: Kill 'Em All credits
✅. Songwriting credits are in the correct order now, based on the CD I have, but no lyrical credits are mentioned anywhere (neither liner notes, disc, nor back cover). I can only assume that Mustaine's original lyrics for "Jump in the Fire" need not be counted as credit, since they don't feature on Kill 'Em All. I know some IPs have sneakily tried changed the order in the past few years, but any changes now should be swiftly reverted—everything is as accurate as it's ever going to be.

MOP FAC
Hey, sorry I'm kinda late. Saw your message before, but was busy and just forgot about it. I'll try to take a look over it today and give some commentary.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 15:29, 21 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Update - I read the article and added a couple of things on discussion page that stood out to me. Aside from those couple of small issues though, I found the article to be superb.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 16:07, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Mick Wall's Book/Ride The Lightning
Hi, you had asked me to add some to material to the RTL article from Wall's book. I don't think I'll bother doing that. 90% will get reverted whether it's accurately sourced or not, so why should I waste my time? 173.252.18.173 (talk) 12:22, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Look, I've been editing here for close to a decade and your interpretation of the guidelines is just that: your interpretation. Your response is precisely what I expected; a perfunctory quoting of random guidelines to someone you assumed was a newbie. I find it rather presumptuous of you to pat me on the back and ask for further contributions immediately after undoing 90% of my work. 173.252.18.173 (talk) 22:55, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Wow... now you expect me to not only edit an article for you, but to also scan the book and send it to you personally? I don't think so. 173.252.18.173 (talk) 12:12, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Image/source reviews
Hi Retrohead, regarding this edit: We generally try to limit that box to requesting source/image reviews for nominations that are almost done but the lack of review is impeding us in some way. Every nomination needs those reviews, so I'd rather not get into the habit of proactively asking for reviews when the nomination has just started. Hope this makes sense. -- Laser brain  (talk)  17:15, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
 * No problem Andy, hope you don't mind if I ask someone to handle those notes in person.--Retrohead (talk) 21:04, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
