Who has cited Master of Puppets as “one of the heaviest metal albums”?

Add link to Megadeth Wikipedia entry at the beginning of the article when it’s first mentioned. 92.68.231.226 (talk) 16:50, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

  • Megadeth is linked in 2nd sentence of the Lead where the thrash metal bands are listed. That is the first mention of Megadeth in this article. The band is linked in the Infobox under Spinoffs also. -Fnlayson (talk) 17:09, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

History of Metallica

The page for Metallica is over 200 kB, and their past should be split to a new article entitled History of Metallica. Thoughts? --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:30, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

:The prose currently sits at around 11,000 words, even with several sections split off to their own articles, but I don't think that's quite at the point where the majority of the prose needs to be split off; could definitely be worth revisiting once the band retires, but for now, maybe just a trim would suffice. 4TheWynne (talk contribs) 16:04, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

::{{yo|4TheWynne}}, fire away! --Jax 0677 (talk) 10:52, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

::Personally I don't think retirement would be needed for such an article. Many long running bands probably should have articles of the kind, otherwise Wikipedia risks leaving out important information.★Trekker (talk) 12:04, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Agreed! Thanks! --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:43, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
