== Ben Green in Godflesh ==

Need your thoughts on what the article for [[G. C. Green]] the bassist and co-founder of [[Godflesh]] should be titled. Please discuss at [[Talk:G. C. Green]]. [[User:AngusWOOF|<strong><span style="color: #606060;" class="nowrap">AngusW🐶🐶F</span></strong>]] ([[User talk:AngusWOOF#top|<span style=" color: #663300;">bark</span>]] • [[Special:Contributions/AngusWOOF|<span style="color: #006600;">sniff</span>]]) 19:50, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

== Project-independent quality assessments ==

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at [[Wikipedia:Content assessment]], but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent [[WP:Village pump (proposals)/Archive_198#Project-independent_quality_assessments|Village pump proposal]] was approved and has been implemented to add a {{para|class}} parameter to {{tl|WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{tl|WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{tl|WPBannerMeta}} a new {{para|QUALITY_CRITERIA|custom}} parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

== Change class, peer review and assessment [[Dana Strum]] ==

The stub about [[Dana Strum]] was significantly expanded and improved, I will appreciate any help with reviewing and assessing it. Thank you. [[User:Switch827|Switch827]] ([[User talk:Switch827|talk]]) 03:54, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

== Requested move at [[Talk:Demon Hunter#Requested move 9 June 2023]] ==
[[File:Information.svg|30px|left]] There is a requested move discussion at [[Talk:Demon Hunter#Requested move 9 June 2023]] that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject.

== The Obelisk ==

Via recent edits to [[List of 2015 albums]], I've been introduced to a website called The Obelisk. The problem is that I immediately found its [https://theobelisk.net/obelisk/contact/ about page] which shows that it is obviously a one-author blog (said author is also the only byline I could find on any post) which violates our policy on [[Wikipedia:self-published sources|self-published sources]]. That led me to an even greater issue, which is that this website is used as a source on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LinkSearch?target=theobelisk.net about 200 pages,] and that's clearly no good. Given just how many pages that compromises, it'll be a significant undertaking to replace/remove them all. So I figured I should leave a notice here about it in case anyone is interested in taking up the task, because I don't feel I have the patience to handle it all myself.

== Warring by [[WP:COI]] accounts at [[Witchfynde]] ==

Dropping this here, before going to COI, ANI or page protection noticeboards. There appear to be [[WP:OWNERSHIP]] issues, with a few accounts trying to tell their contrasting and poorly sourced versions. More eyes and assistance appreciated. Thanks. [[Special:Contributions/2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63|2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63]] ([[User talk:2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63|talk]]) 22:32, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

== Dispute about the term underground for NWOBHM bands ==

A dispute arose on [[Talk:New wave of British heavy metal#"Diamond Head, Venom and Raven, remained underground"|Talk:New wave of British heavy metal]] about the use of the term underground associated with a few British bands, which had limited notoriety and chart success during the [[New wave of British heavy metal]] of the 80s. Comments and contributions to the stalled debate would be much appreciated. [[User:Lewismaster|Lewismaster]] ([[User talk:Lewismaster|talk]]) 19:35, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

== Creation of the Phantom Elite draft ==

Hello everyone, I created the [[Draft:Phantom Elite]] article as my first major contribution to Wikipedia, therefoe I am not yet completely familiar with the rules. I just submitted the article for review, I would appreciate any feedback. Also, I wanted to add it to "Articles for creation" on the [[Wikipedia: WikiProject Metal]] page but I did not find how to do it (and if I should do it). I will gladly welcome any feedback or advice.

== Whitesnake ==
