I am nominating this for featured list because after a peer review, I found the negative points to be improved, then resolved all to meet at least the FLC criteria. Cannibaloki 18:20, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Support -- Previous issues resolved to meet WP:WIAFL standards.--₮RUCӨ 14:16, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support My concerns have been addressed. Looks good. Drewcifer (talk) 06:59, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Looks really good. Only one question: what makes hardradio.com and bravewords.com reliable sources? Drewcifer (talk) 11:25, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- They are reliable since they are interviews, the publishers may not be reliable, but the work (which is the actual band members) is reliable.--₮RUCӨ 14:16, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- See Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles, and HardRadio is just used for an interview that I found only in this site. Cannibaloki 15:11, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- "Lee Rausch was replaced....and also added...." - Lee Rausch did not add Poland, so this sentence is gramatically incorrect
- Reworded.
- "October that same year" - doesn't read right to me (I'd say "October of the same year") but might be an ENGVAR thing - can you confirm if this wording is a valid American English usage....?
- Reworded.
- "who officially joined Megadeth in February 1990" - think you could dispense with the second "Megadeth", as it was only used in the previous clause and it's pretty obvious that's the band he joined
- Done.
- "Megadeth enlisted guitarist Al Pitrelli, as Friedman's replacement" - no need for comma after Pitrelli
- Done.
- The two sentences beginning "Following nearly a year of recovery" are unsourced
- Added.
- "brother to new guitarist" - again, is this a valid American English usage? In the UK we'd say "brother of"
- Reworded.
- Why are the titles of two of the refs in italics?
All looks good other than this -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:46, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Made one tiny punctuation tweak, but all seems alright now. I'd never come across the press release tl, but I guess it must be OK. Support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:44, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 18:15, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

HardRadio should not be italicized.Can you link the publishers on their first occurence?Dabomb87 (talk) 22:33, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I think these members list pages would look more organized and easier to read if they used a table. Maybe something like:
Member | Years active | Instruments | # of releases | Release contributions |
---|---|---|---|---|
Dave Mustaine | 1983–2002 2004–present |
guitar, vocals | All Megadeth releases | |
Shawn Drover | 2004–present | drums, percussion | 2 | That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires (2007), United Abominations (2007) |
James LoMenzo | 2006–present | bass, backing vocals | 1 | United Abominations (2007) |
Chris Broderick | 2008–present | guitar, backing vocals | 0 | None |
The # of releases column is optional. -- Scorpion0422 21:34, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support: It looks way different to other FL of band members, but I must accept is one of the most complete as well. The style used in this list is the most proper one, due to the high number of members. Rockk3r Spit it Out! 04:37, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Excellent. My only concern is the stacking of images in the lead and the second table should be sortable by last name. In regards to the first issue, you could do the current images table like this:
Name | Years active | Instruments | Release contributions | |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
Dave Mustaine | 1983–2002, 2004 onward | guitar, vocals | All Megadeth releases |
![]() |
Shawn Drover | 2004 onward | drums, percussion | That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires (2007), United Abominations (2007) |
![]() |
James LoMenzo | 2006 onward | bass, backing vocals | United Abominations (2007) |
![]() |
Chris Broderick | 2008 onward | guitar, backing vocals | none |
If you decide to do it, you may want to make the images less tall. -- Scorpion0422 15:06, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- What is the problem with the "stacking" of images? Cannibaloki 16:19, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It collides with the table, leaving unnecessary whitespace. -- Scorpion0422 16:34, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- See again, please. Cannibaloki 16:47, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- "...the second table should be sortable by last name." Done. Cannibaloki 15:44, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, unless someone has a very, very wide screen, there's no blank space now. Rockk3r Spit it Out! 18:10, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Okay, that will work with the images. Has there been any negative response to the new table format? -- Scorpion0422 15:56, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- What format? Overall or the last one with images? Cannibaloki 17:04, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I was just wondering if anyone has complained about the table format or not. -- Scorpion0422 18:08, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay with the tables. "See yourself!" ;) Cannibaloki 20:16, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Try finding a Shawn Drover picture with the same format as theother three. Rockk3r Spit it Out! 23:44, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
