This article is about the fourth Metallica studio album, a masterwork of technical thrash and musically, one of their finest hours. I've been working on this article back and forth a year, and think it is ready for a FA candidature at its present state. I'm sure it would be an interesting read for those who will review it.-- Retrohead ( talk) 12:50, 19 August 2014 (UTC) reply

A few other little things here and there, like a few format things to fix, or make more consistent
Album was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry in 2013, which isn't mentioned in the article. LuciferMorgan ( talk) 20:38, 22 August 2014 (UTC) reply
The album's front cover is mentioned in the introduction, but nowhere else? A glaring omission this is, because there can be nothing in the lead which isn't discussed later on in the article. Lead's meant to summarise, not have exclusive information. LuciferMorgan ( talk) 20:55, 26 August 2014 (UTC) reply

Oppose for now..... the singles are not discussed within article at all except for a mention in the infobox (something I'm surprised to see wasn't included when it became GA), and I have other concerns......
Not a bad article, but needs some work before being FA-worthy. Snuggums ( talk / edits) 23:38, 20 September 2014 {UTC) |
Tentative Support pending a few items I'd like to see addressed as follows:
I've mentioned it in the article's body as well. The point in the lead was to notify that the album was released on two discs after being initially released on one. The singles are not necessarily connected with this sentence.
Agree. Even I was confused by this terminology when I started editing Wikipedia, and it could be not quite understandable for readers that aren't much into music. Fixed, regardless.
Corrected per suggestion.
Thanks for the kind words. Despite the sound omissions, I still think it captures Metallica at their best.
Also fixed.
All I know is that there were few discussion about whether the bonus track should be hidden or not, but honestly, I haven't paid much attention to that debate. It's the same to me, so if you suggest un-hiding the extra tracks, will do.
Good job. -- Spike Wilbury ( talk) 02:07, 26 September 2014 (UTC) reply
