Power Trip performance

[edit]

Pinging @RALFFPL: Regarding your revert, please show me where in this source it states there were 100,000 at the festival (let alone at their particular performance), and that it was their "largest performance as a festival headliner in the United States". I don't see it confirmed. --ZimZalaBim talk 17:29, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I linked the info once again - as the report says there were 100k people in attendance, and - as I perfectly know the history of Iron Maiden shows, they have never ever played for such a big audience in the States as headliner. I know we can't find this info straight out of the linked article, but it's kind of my personal analytic invention as an author of this part of Wiki info. There's an Iron Maiden site entitled Iron Maiden Italia and a few others where people concluded attendance figures and the fact Iron Maiden played their biggest headlining show in the States. For everyone who monitoring their tours, it's obvious. I must admit haven't seen a few days-long festival reports where the journalists shared info on how many people attended particular shows or days. Just think about Wacken Open Air, Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park, or even Rock in Rio - the reports bring the general attendance data. It's just the standard. Nobody doesn't know how many people attended Power Trip 2023 on each show. The article shared by a reliable source as Louder Sound/Metal Hammer says the attendance figure that I mentioned. So, it's simple. Maybe I'm wrong but have never read on WIKI about festival performances with attendance reports describing the results of particular bands or days - just headlining performers. I thought it was obvious. And once again - if you want to change something in the articles, PLEASE talk about the problem with an AUTHOR. Deleting the data is so easy, and restoring that - is not.

You might want to take a look at both WP:NOR and also WP:BRD. --ZimZalaBim talk 18:32, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like WP:FANCRUFT to me. HorrorLover555 (talk) 18:51, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edit warring regarding band membership

[edit]

@HorrorLover555, Metallicmario, 137.25.53.13, NeozMMV, 184.144.252.214, 191.176.32.57, TheVersion1, 78.98.242.39, 86.162.233.219, and Sikamikanico: All of you appear to have, within the past several hours, made changes to the article relating to the band's membership. I have fully protected this page for two days because of the back-and-forth editing without discussion (i.e. edit warring) that has been going on—please discuss your edits here, as well as the reason for your changes, so that some consensus can be ascertained on this matter. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 21:50, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Red-tailed hawk. I have had to revert plenty of edits in the Infobox section as IPs were removing Nicko McBrain from current members, although there has already been sources provided that he has retired from touring from the announcement. None of the sources provided mentions that he is no longer a member of the band. In regards to the band members section, there is already the article List of Iron Maiden band members that was covered on the touring and session members, and was reverting to tell them and go and see it there. In my opinion, touring members should not go in current members for the infobox or the band members section unless there are sources that confirm that they are official members of the band.
