Damageplan
Self-nomination An article on a short-lived band that came to an end after guitarist Dimebag Darrell was murdered while performing at a club. It previously looked like this, and i thought i would bring it up to standards. Will be here to deal with any concerns, thanks. M3tal H3ad (talk) 10:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: Image:In memory.jpg has an incomplete fair use rationale - see WP:RAT for "necessary components" . ЭLСОВВОLД  talk 15:29, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Removed and added a free image. M3tal H3ad (talk) 09:49, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That'll work. ЭLСОВВОLД  talk 22:04, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

 * The Metal Hammer reference, is there a article title or author for that?

 * Linkie tool says that http://www.showandtellonline.com/_damageplan/_interview_012904.html is dead, but it shows up fine for me. Ealdgyth | Talk 17:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It also works fine for me, no idea what's wrong. M3tal H3ad (talk) 09:49, 14 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: I think including an image for a defunct band in the infobox constitutes Fair Use; the rationale could be strengthened by asserting that one of its members had died. Is there a pic of that concert? I'd like to see those charts in the discography section better formatted (see an FL discography); better yet move them all to Damageplan discography and only list the album and singles here. I wish the pre-murder portion of the article could be beefed up; although I understand that might be impossible. More later, indopug (talk) 17:39, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Since they only have one album, a discography page may be unnecessary... Skeletor2112 (talk) 07:53, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed, with only one album and four singles it's fine on this page. I also formatted the album in the discography section. M3tal H3ad (talk) 09:49, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * What about a promotional image? &mdash; Burningclean &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 00:53, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That's exactly what I meant. indopug (talk) 04:15, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I know this one was widely used for promo purposes, (it was in a bunch of magazine interviews, ect) but the site it's taken from doesn't list any info on the pic. Damageplan Promo pic Skeletor2112 (talk) 07:51, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * An image would be nice, the band only performed 2-3 small club shows so it's impossible to get a free image. M3tal H3ad (talk) 09:49, 14 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Support - everything looks great, good job! \m/ Skeletor2112 (talk) 20:49, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Blabbermouth review of New Found Power, should it be needed at all. LuciferMorgan (talk) 09:44, 14 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Tweaked that darn single table myself a bit. I still don't get the sentence "Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown favored their side projects and would not communicate with the brothers, while Darrell and Abbott wanted to continue to write and play music." What does "favored their side projects" mean? What does that have to do with the brothers wanting to write music? Also, why is Bob Zilla not bolded in the template at the bottom? Anyway, these won't stop me from giving my full
 * support, excellent work. indopug (talk) 06:13, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * When i tried to copy and paste the single table everything messed up so i took a shortcut removing the width parameter, seems i was sprung :O. Bob Zilla wasn't bold because i copy and pasted the template from another band and just forgot to add it. I tried to clarify the sentence to read "Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown favored contributing to their side projects and would not discuss or record Pantera material, while Darrell and Abbott wanted to continue to write and play music" Basically, the brothers wanted to write and play with Pantera, the other two wanted to write and play with their side projects, i hope that clarified things, thanks for the support.

Comments Is there any reason why Bobzilla isn't bolded on the template?
 * The Metal Hammer magazine I have has alot of info in it: It states how Jerry Cantrell convinced Dimebag to leave Pantera and start Damageplan. Would you like that added? &mdash; Burningclean &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 02:00, 15 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Support I don't think the Cantrell reference is very notable anyway. Like you said on the peer review: "Short but sweet". &mdash; Burningclean &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 18:39, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
