Comment: Great article, there is very little wrong with it. The only thing that I feel is worth mentioning is that the paragraphs in the lead seem a little intimidating. Per WP:Layout and WP:Lead I would suggest redistributing them into three or four paragraphs (ideally four). The first paragraph should include the current first sentence, and a breakdown of the discography by type – Ikara talk → 00:59, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I really don't agree with putting a sentence on top of the lead saying how many albums, singles, compilations, etc they have released, as it can easily be seen on the sand infobox and only makes they lead longer. Also, I've seen in many FL that it's no longer used the phrases: "Discography of", "List of awards and nominations recived by".; That's my opinion.

 * I agree with you; a bit redundant, since have an infobox to make the count. Canniba  loki  03:58, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * You may want to remove the phrase "discography of..." from the first sentence, and instead use something like: "Iron Maiden are a British heavy metal band. They have released..." If you keep it as is, there should really be a comma after "Iron Maiden" in the first sentence. However, note that infoboxes are intended as a summary of information in an article, not an alternative, so the list of releases should be included in the prose somewhere. The lead is the most sensible choice in this case – Ikara talk → 12:43, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Comment: Looks great, but TNOTB has been certified gold in Germany. --78.48.76.229 (talk) 17:13, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

✅ Everything has been updated. The first paragraph of the lead was re-written, and shortedned as much as possible. TNOTB recieved a gold certification in Germany: that was updated too.  Rockk3r      Spit it Out!  17:22, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
