Review section
I am nominating this featured article for review because, as noted on the talk page last year, there are numerous sources that can be evaluated for inclusion in the article, failed verification of sources, uncited statements, and a "Controversy" section that I think should be integrated into other sections of the article.

 * Here's a giant decade-and-a-half diff of the changes to the article between its 2007 FA version and today. In 2007 it had 22,900 characters (3,751 words) of "readable prose size", according to the DYKcheck tool—54.6 kb total size. Since then, it has expanded to 134.8 kb in total, with 47,557 characters (7,974 words) of readable prose, a doubling in size.
 * Additions to the article include the awards section, and everything happening after 2007 such as two more albums and Hanneman's death. The old "Feuds" section was removed (no great loss), and the "Influences" section was rewritten and expanded as "Legacy".
 * Even in 2007, the article contained a controversy section. Such sections are no longer recommended practice; controversy about the topic should be introduced and detailed throughout the article as part of the developing narrative. Binksternet (talk) 17:22, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
