Phil Rudd is apparently playing percussion. Is this just another way of saying drums, or is he actually playing that instrument. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.55.137.184 (talk) 01:00, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Percussion = cymbals etc - he's always played drums and percussion. Bretonbanquet (talk) 11:01, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to this, a percussion instrument is any object which produces a sound by being hit with an implement, shaken, rubbed, scraped, or by any other action which sets the object into vibration. Therefore, a drum is considered a percussion instrument, but a percussion instrument isn't necessarily a drum. Percussion instruments include drums, xylophones, cymbals, and even the piano.

should this article be renamed to "black ice" since the band announced the name of the new album? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.201.142.33 (talk) 22:56, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no official confirmation. Where has the band announced the name of the album? Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:16, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If we can keep the discussion here, rather than just reverting each other all the time, that would be good. Undercover.com / bravewords etc are not reliable sources. They do not give any of their own sources for the information regarding the title of the album. None. Therefore it is not reliable. There is no official, or even semi-official, information about the album title. If the article was moved to Black Ice (album), it would get deleted for being unsourced. So let's just wait, if we possibly can, until there's an official report from the band or the record company. This is an encyclopedia not a rumour mill. Bretonbanquet (talk) 11:34, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it has been confirmed that it will be titled black ice. [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Comeondontshootme (talk • contribs) 16:27, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did you actually read the above comment? Undercover.com is not a primary source - we are waiting for official confirmation. And please sign your comments, thanks. Bretonbanquet (talk) 16:33, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It has also been confirmed by Ultimate guitar that the title is in fact "Black Ice".link

SlayerXT (talk) 19:44, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ultimate-Guitar.com is just using what these rumor sites are saying, as news. As it has already been said, AC/DC's 15th album, has not been given an official name from the band nor the record company. Until ACDC.com or ACDCROCKS.com specifically says "Black Ice" to be released October 27, 2008, it's all pure speculation. These sources are unreliable and should not be taken for truth.

Malcolm And Angus Young wrote all the lyrics and music for this album, on AC/DC's website AC/DC.com you can see it here (click on the tracks):http://www.acdc.com/history/. So Brian Johnson does't wrote anything for this album! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lexpert77 (talk • contribs) 09:37, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

so brian writing lyrics for this album was an unsourced rumor? --66.201.142.21 (talk) 15:47, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think so —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lexpert77 (talk • contribs) 17:04, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why hasn't Johnson written anything for AC/DC since the 80s? He apparently wrote the lyrics (or contributed to them at least) throughout the 80s, but hasn't received a co-write since then. What caused the change? Darwin's Bulldog (talk) 16:18, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Probably because the Young brothers decided to keep the band more under their control, and keep all the songwriting royalties for themselves. The result, of course, is an album with three songs with "Rock 'n' Roll" in the title. ProhibitOnions ^(T) 15:29, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What happend to the cover? If it does get put back on there than what cover will be used sence there are 4 different covers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Westvoja (talk • contribs) 13:33, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's no fair use rationale for that image, and I'm guessing there won't be until the album comes out. If there are 4 covers, we can probably put them all on. Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:26, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bretonbanquet is incorrect. There was a valid fair use rationale provided, but the image was uploaded to Commons, which does not host any fair use images. That's why the image was deleted over there.

If someone uploads it directly to Wikipedia and provides the same fair use rationale, it would be fine. We don't have to wait until the album comes out. — Satori Son 12:56, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well don't I just stand corrected? Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:17, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea where you stand or sit or whatever. I do know that answering a question you don't know the answer to is thoroughly unhelpful. — Satori Son 21:24, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to make being unpleasant and supersilious a priority, right from the off. Just because I was incorrect, it does not mean that I didn't think I was right. How incredibly officious and arrogant a comment that was, but nothing I wouldn't expect from you. You will be aware that the fair use rationale does not state any information about the owner of the image, by the way. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:36, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, the fair use rationale is still missing the ownership info. I already stated that below. Hopefully, no one will stick a {{No copyright holder}} tag on it before we can fix it. — Satori Son 18:15, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm guessing this is an unreliable source, but i thought it was worth a mention, this unofficial AC/DC news blog posted up 3 different covers. Then it was reported on here and here. kiac (talk) 13:20, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The current image is not the cover, the red one is. Or is that the US cover? I was in a music store yesterday and the album advertising everywhere was all red. kiac (talk) 07:34, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just realized, this image will be deleted AS WELL. It has no explanation of fair use. kiac (talk) 07:35, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a valid fair use rationale, but it still needs info on the copyright holder. Anyone know the name and address of the business entity that holds the copyrights to the band's album cover art? — Satori Son 21:24, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It'd be the record label? kiac (talk) 05:43, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why the fuck is there a UN flag by the release dates? DukePatton (talk) 02:51, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to Europe. Should have the USA flag as well. Even though i don't think flags are meant to be used in the template. kiac (talk) 05:43, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright now somebody put the damn U.N. flag back up there. I don't know what the hell there trying to prove exactly but it's starting to piss me off. Someone definately needs to remove that and than add the canadian and U.S. release dates. I'd do it if I knew how. DukePatton (talk) 23:28, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• The album cover on the bottom with the blue lettering is labeled as the vinyl/deluxe hardcover version of the cover. The vinyl edition has red lettering, not the blue. Can someone fix that so it is correct?

Reference from [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Ice-VINYL-AC-DC/dp/B001FO7JTA Amazon] is telling me otherwise. Can you please get me a source saying this. kiac (talk) 14:45, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you're saying. I preordered the LP and have it, and it comes with the red lettering. One indie shop that I checked also showed the blue lettering, but it was a graphic, not the actual image of the real album. I then went to eBay and currently found these next few albums for sale and they had the actual photo of the album, and not a screenshot. Maybe they are releasing the album in blue lettering now? I don't even see the LP on the band's website anymore. I also see that the colors for the CD are currently limited to two right now (at least on the band's website) as well. It's hard to say what the deal is. However, regarding the LP, here are the two eBay items referenced and you'll see the actual album, with the red lettering, as I have it. I found none containing the blue lettering.

• eBay item: AC/DC - BLACK ICE **BRAND NEW 180 GRAM DOUBLE LP VINYL!
• eBay item: AC/DC "Black Ice" 180 Gm Vinyl 12" 2LP NEW w/ New 7"

Thanks. 67.224.23.92 (talk) 18:06, 29 October 2008 (UTC)anonymous[reply]

Well, I finally got around to reading the fine print on the CD label. Copyright for the album art is owned by Leidseplein Presse B.V. I'll update the image pages. — Satori Son 19:46, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't add "War Machine" as the second single under "Rock 'n Roll Train" in the single part of the taxobox. Every time I do add it it doesn't appear, as though I never editied it. How do I get it to stop doing that?

First you need to be able to prove it's going to be a single, which might be hard. "Rock n Roll Train" apparently wasn't a single, so I doubt the next song will be either, unless Satori Son knows better of course. Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:43, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don’t know, either. — Satori Son 18:25, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I happen to have the Rock N Roll Train 7" single, and War Machine is the b-side. I noticed the WM article was deleted because there was no official source that it was a single itself, right? --66.201.142.94 (talk) 13:59, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, War Machine was NOT a single, it was released as the B-side of Rock N' Roll Train. Rock N' Roll Train WAS released as a single, but War Machine was not, so please do not re-post it was single--Comeondontshootme (talk) 16:09, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just a few observations following a drive-by edit.

• The narrative of the album history is missing a lot of pertinent information: i.e when/where the album was first announced, when the title was confirmed to be Black Ice, etc.
• Although the article makes the blanket statement that Aussies will get the album on the 18th and the rest of the world on the 20th (which is sourced), the infobox claims a wide spread of release dates, including Germany getting the album on the 17th (none of which are sourced). When sourced, all of the release dates could probably be worked into the "Album history" section as a cohesive paragraph
• You should probably look at using sources other than the AC/DC official website where possible (although you are doing pretty well so far at a little under half of all sources used), because the site may not meet the "third-party"/independant criteria of WP:Reliable sources "Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources" statement.

-- saberwyn 10:09, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I especially agree with the last point. There's really no excuse for using their website, just about every news site in the world has/will post articles on AC/DC, one of the biggest rock bands of all time, they get massive exposure, all you have to do is search - save yourself the trouble of re-adding a different source for the same info. Just my 2 cents. kiac (talk) 16:54, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The thing where it says "this is an article about a scheduled or upcoming album" can that be changed? Since it's out today, and it sounds great —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mamaluigibob (talk • contribs) 02:19, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed :) kiac (talk) 13:44, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The album was released yesterday in Australia and I agree, it sounds great. I bought a copy first thing in the morning and believe it or not there are better songs on the album than rocknroll train. The best would have to be Money made, probably the best song they have ever made, better than back in black. It should be released as a single. Adam (talk) 19:57, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the genre is missing--189.202.57.47 (talk) 01:06, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Genres have been removed from all music-related articles on wikipedia. See here (beware, it's like reading a novel). kiac (talk) 01:43, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the album was released, and yet when the new billboard chart came out today Black Ice was not listed, and the website's artist discography does not even list the album. Anyone know why it hasn't been listed yet? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.220.90.98 (talk) 14:16, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The album was just released. Albums don't appear on the chart until after a week. It will appear on the Billboard online chart this Thursday (10/30/2008). Darwin's Bulldog (talk) 16:20, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe this is a minor thing, but this album is also available on 180 gram vinyl through their website, and the indie stores also get to sell the LP version in the US. The LP comes with the red lettered cover and is a double LP in a gatefold package. Could something be added to the article regarding this? I have the LP, ordered through the website, and it states all songs by Young and Young. Nothing on here about Brian Johnson on any of the songs. The sleeves for both the records have different red and black artwork. I also understand that they have pressed 7" vinyl singles with Rock N' Roll Train on side A and War Machine on Side B, and that the 7" also comes in a special sleeve with it's own unique artwork and is also sold exclusively through some of the indie record shops. The 7" is not available on the website like the LP is. 67.224.23.92 (talk) 19:30, 27 October 2008 (UTC)anonymous[reply]

At the top of the page, it says that it's 'AC/DC's longest studio album to date', and then some genius has added a 'citation needed' just afterwards... Any reason for this? I mean - there's articles about all other AC/DC albums on wiki, it's MOST UMLIKELY that anyone would find it amusing to out up incorrect album lengths... who got the funny idea that we need an outside source to state the obvious (now, I didn't ACTUALLY check every album, but if, as I guess, none of them are longer than BI, then it's OBVIOUS that BI is the longest and if one of them is, the opposite is OBVIOUS). I mean, I respect verifiability etc., but we all know that not every sentence on wikipedia needs to have a source, why does that one?

It was me. I was more alluding to the fact that its a trivial piece of information that wasn't really required there. So i tagged it more so i can remove it at a later date if i choose to write a proper lead section. kiac (talk) 01:40, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• I actually agree with the above person who raises the question in that I don't think it's necessary to have a citation for something like that. If a citation is needed for that, then a citation is needed for virtually every sentence in every article. I also don't find it to be a trivial piece of information. It's a piece of information that anyone can observe, but the fact that it is the band's longest studio album to date is something that noticeably distinguishes the album from all others that the band has produced. It's something that noticeably makes the Black Ice album unique (it's also something that has brought the album some criticism, as some find the album too long and watered down). If someone wants to move it to a different section, fine, but as the article is written, I think it's something worthy of being kept in the lead. Harry Yelreh (talk) 05:15, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well i've just re-written the lead and decided it was worthy of inclusion without a citation. Technically everything should have references, because we're not the ones providing the information, it's supposed to be from reliable 3 third party sources. Something as minor and observant as this though should be fine. Hope the new lead provides a better insight. kiac (talk) 14:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• I guess even as someone who has contributed to featured articles, I need to brush up on the Wikipedia guidelines then. But even if technically everything should have references, realistically and stylistically, no, not EVERYTHING should. There are some pieces of information that are obviously self-evident and yet also worthy of note, and this is one of them. We don't need a citation just for this being their longest album any more than we need a citation just for saying that it's their fifteenth album. I think it reads well as you've re-written it. Harry Yelreh (talk) 04:27, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The AC/DC website (http://www.acdc.com/history) has the songs spelled one particular way, with each word's first letter capitalized, and the use of N instead of 'n (except for the first track). But the track titles on this article keep getting changed to different spellings (and capitalizations). The official website has the tracks listed as:

1. Rock 'n' Roll Train
2. Skies On Fire
3. Big Jack
4. Anything Goes
5. War Machine
6. Smash N Grab
7. Spoilin' For A Fight
8. Wheels
9. Decibel
10. Stormy May Day
11. She Likes Rock N Roll
12. Money Made
13. Rock N Roll Dream
14. Rocking All The Way
15. Black Ice

Should we not follow the same spelling the band uses? Are song titles not considered proper nouns? If this is the case, should we not change every purposely misspelled word in every song title on Wikipedia?

I for one think that we should use the same spelling that the band does. Any comments for or against? - Adolphus79 (talk) 23:00, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Forget what the website says - there's no guessing who inserted the titles on the website or whether they're correct or not. We should just go with whatever is written on the album itself. Also, regardless of how titles are spelled by the band, titles like "Spoilin' For A Fight" are always shown grammatically on wikipedia with regard to capitalisation, in this case "Spoilin' for a Fight". Similarly the 't' of "the" is never capitalised. Misspellings such as "Spoilin'" are left as they are. As for the 'n' of "rock 'n' roll", I have no idea, but a capital 'N' looks ridiculous, nd AC/DC have never used one before in their many "rock 'n' roll" titles. Does the website really show a small 'n' in track 1, and a capital 'N' in the others? If so, it's further proof of its unreliability. Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:17, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the MOS

WP:ALBUMCAPS Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:33, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply

I think the N should be done like this 'n'. Incidicating the missing letter on either side. The titles definitely need to be spelt the same way, just the capitalization needs to be done properly. Refer to my talk page for more of this conversation. kiac (talk) 01:44, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The section "Reception" doesn't really say much, except that Brian Johnson thinks it's the best one they've done and a repetition of information, most of which a little higher on the same page, regarding album sales. Seeing as how quite a few reviews are in already, maybe someone should re-write this section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.176.127.243 (talk) 18:38, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, why is it listed as being on the Billboard chart at number one for November 8th, when A) the date the charts came out with it on top was October 30, and B) as of this writing, it's not even November 8th yet?

There's three different covers for the CD, gold white and red. I'm sure these should be mentioned in the infobox. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lyriani (talk • contribs) 22:10, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What's up with the highlighted sentence in the following paragraph?
"The Black Ice World Tour started on October 28, 2008 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and will continue through 2009. The North American phase of the tour ended in Nashville, Tennessee on January 31, 2009. The Answer, a band from Northern Ireland, was at least through the North American tour."

Get your shit together folks. AC/DC has never been and never will be Heavy Metal. AC/DC is pure Rock 'n Roll.

Please

Great, just let the "expert" media decide. Ask any AC/DC member if they are a metal band. You'll get a big no right there. Read any respectable book on AC/DC ("Why AC/DC Matters" comes to mind), anyone who knows their work won't call them a metal band.

This CD soars in volume above the radio, and that's bad, REALLY bad. This needs to be addressed in the article. --Radicalfaith360

For such major and broad releases I suggest that the number of reviews not to be limited at ten. Since every single magazine has reviewed this album, we should leave more space for pure music magazines. Either that or to exclude media like Entertainment Weekly that don't have anything to do with this kind of music. Jimmys Cybertroll (talk) 16:54, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First, Angus used a slide on the ending of Meltdown, so it's the first time since 2000.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Black Ice (album)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Criterion 1

A good article is— </noinclude>

1. Well-written:

(a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and

(b) it complies with the

list incorporation

.

Infobox
1. I see that this article's infobox contains Professional reviews. These should be moved out to the Reception section per Infobox albums.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:03, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
2. Alt text, if included, should be precise and correctly formatted. The shape surrounding Black Ice is not a rhombus. There's an extra space between 'a' and 'cog'.
3. When was it released first? Infobox has 20 Oct, Lead has between 17 and 22 Oct, while Release history has earliest release as 17 Oct in Europe. Earliest release should be in Infobox.
4. Where was it recorded? DAB Vancouver: it could be in Washington state. Get rid of 'in' & use a comma.

The link goes to the Canadian city, but added country and studio

5. Check chronology chain. For AC/DC, Black Ice belongs on the studio albums chain but Backtracks does not – its a compilation.
6. Track/single "Rock 'n' Roll Train", "Rock 'N Roll Train" or "Rock N Roll Train"? Fix all instances to Wikipedia style (may not be same as AC/DC or Columbia Records style).
7. "Money Made" del the promo: its promotional nature can be mentioned in main article.

Lead
1. Preliminary comment: there appears to be a lot of repetition of terms here, including release(d) (5×), AC/DC (6×) and album(s) (7×). A bit of variety would make it more interesting. In following commentary keep all formatting and wikilinkage unless otherwise indicated.
   1. Repetition is still bad, album(s) now at 9×, studio(s) 5×, Black Ice 6× and record/s/ed 5×. See comment 10 below.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 13:17, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
2. First sentence is too long and ambiguous. Black Ice is the sixteenth Australian and fifteenth internationally released studio album by the Australian rock band AC/DC, produced by Brendan O'Brien and released worldwide between 17 and 22 October 2008. > Black Ice is the sixteenth studio album by the Australian rock band AC/DC. It was produced by Brendan O'Brien and released internationally on 17 October 2008. The counting of international releases can be included later in main text. Brendan O'Brien did not produce any previous AC/DC albums? A casual reader might believe he's produced 15 or 16 of them from the current first sentence.
3. AC/DC were known to be working on the album as early as January 2006, with it being delayed because of an injury to bassist Cliff Williams and a change of record labels from Epic Records to Columbia Records. > The group had worked on it since January 2006, delays occurred due to an injury to bass guitarist Cliff Williams and a change of record labels from Epic Records to Columbia Records.
4. It is their first album since the release of Stiff Upper Lip in 2000, the longest gap to date between two AC/DC studio albums. > With Stiff Upper Lip issued in 2000, the eight-year gap is their longest between two studio albums.
5. The band recorded it at The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, Canada, the same studio as their previous album Stiff Upper Lip. > The band recorded it at The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, Canada, the same studio as Stiff Upper Lip. We already know its the previous album from earlier sentence.
6. Black Ice was released exclusively on physical formats, as AC/DC does not sell its music digitally. > Black Ice was launched exclusively in physical formats, as the group does not sell its music digitally.
7. Critical reviews were positive > Critical reviews were generally positive or similar.
8. the album won two ARIA Music Awards and a Grammy Award, and was nominated for a Brit Award and a Juno Award. Reduce overuse of Award(s) in this sentence.

9. Re-worded last sentence still needs work.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 21:24, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
10. Some new material added to the Lead, due to my prompting, can be expressed more succinctly. Other changes to reduce some of the repetitions. The songs started being composed in 2003, when guitarists Angus Young and Malcolm Young got together in London to share musical ideas. > Guitarists Angus Young and Malcolm Young got together in London in 2003 to start composing tracks. De-link London as a common term. The album suffered delays occurred due to an injury to bass guitarist Cliff Williams and a change of record labels from Epic Records to Columbia Records. > Delays to its development occurred due to an injury to bass guitarist Cliff Williams and a change of labels from [[Epic Records|Epic]] to Columbia Records. Changed pipe for Epic. The eight-year gap between Black Ice and their last album, Stiff Upper Lip, is their longest between two studio albums.

O'Brien tried to recapture the rock sound of the band's early work Note change to a piped link; also latter sentence will continue into next. This album currently has the longest running time of any AC/DC studio record. > and they provided the longest running time of any AC/DC studio effort. and released the album along with an extensive marketing campaign > and was released along with an extensive marketing campaign Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, > Canada, United Kingdom, and United States.

Production
1. Start main text with article title early on. Try something like Black Ice is the sixteenth Australian issued studio album, and fifteenth internationally released, by the Australian rock band AC/DC.
2. Tour names don't have quote marks.
3. Current opening sentence is too long.
4. only reunited > resumed performing
5. wrote some music separatedly > wrote music separately
6. and eventually they got together in a studio in London to share ideas and start working on new songs > and they met in a London studio to work on new songs. Brevity. Also note that first page of this reference does not support this sentence. Re-direct reference to correct page or supply Users with instructions on how to use tabbing to correct page per citation/quote.

7. no pressure from Sony Music - the recording company with which the band signed in 2002 - to put out a new album > no pressure from Sony Music – which the band had signed with in 2002 – to put out a new album Note: endashes instead of hyphens.
8. was releasing DVDs and remasters of the AC/DC catalog > was releasing DVDs and remasters of the AC/DC catalogue Use Australian English spelling (unless direct quoting from the article). Note: fix ref as per No. 6 above.
9. The "we" in the quoted section of the article means the members of AC/DC, not just Angus and Malcolm. So use According to Angus, "we could afford to sit back and say we'll do another album when we think we've got all the goods".[14] Note: changed apostrophes, moved full stop out of quote. Also fix this ref as per No. 6 above.
10. There are several reasons why the release of Black Ice was delayed. > The release of Black Ice was delayed for several reasons. Brevity.
11. Their bass player, Cliff Williams, suffered an injury to his hand, and spent 18 months unable to play bass guitar.[18] > Bass guitarist, Cliff Williams, suffered an injury to his hand in 2005, and spent 18 months unable to play.[18] Note: no wikilink on bass guitar/bass guitarist (common term in a music article). Check for a better ref: Google groups are generally not reliable (see

    ).

It's there because it's an exact duplicate of the article, which I couldn't find in the Internet Archive. But I found on the original website, though not a full version (needs purchase), will link to that.

12. In a 2004 interview, vocalist Brian Johnson revealed that he would be writing song lyrics, for the first time since the band's 1988 album Blow Up Your Video, but the album's release disproved that statement, as all songs were again credited to Malcolm and Angus Young. > In a 2004 interview, vocalist Brian Johnson stated that he would be writing song lyrics, for the first time since the band's 1988 album Blow Up Your Video, but all tracks on Black Ice were credited to the Youngs. Johnson's 2004 interview and the Youngs' writing of all tracks need to have reliable source(s) cited.

13.

Composition
1. Brendan O'Brien tried to recapture the rock sound of AC/DC albums such as Highway to Hell and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, as he thought the two previous albums, Ballbreaker and Stiff Upper Lip, were more blues-based.[15] > With Black Ice, Brendan O'Brien tried to recapture the rock sound of their early work on Highway to Hell and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. He thought the two previous studio efforts, Ballbreaker and Stiff Upper Lip, were more blues-based.[15]
2. O'Brien encouraged the band to emphasize the "hooky, melodic side" of its songwriting, something which Angus complimented, as he considers himself someone who has "never been great with harmonies", and often made suggestions about the band's performance, suggesting Angus to play a slide guitar in the track "Stormy May Day" as he put a mock slide in the demo,[16] This sentence is much too long. O'Brien encouraged the band to emphasise the "hooky, melodic side" of its song-writing, which Angus complimented, since he had "never been great with harmonies". O'Brien made suggestions about their performance, getting Angus to play slide guitar on "Stormy May Day" instead of the demo's mock slide.[16]

8. While most of the songs in Black Ice end up being about rock and roll itself, - Angus has stated "Certain songs just seem to come to life when you add that phrase." - other themes served as inspiration: "Money Made" is a criticism on how, according to Angus, in the United States "everything is money these days";[12] "War Machine" was based on a documentary on Hannibal Barca, which led to the conclusion that the military has not changed since Ancient Rome;[20][21] and "Wheels" tells about Brian Johnson's passion for motorcars.[20] Again, way too long.

10. Some recently added material requires further work. Both musicians express contentment with their roles in the band, with Rudd declaring that "I'm not repressing skills.

1. debuting at #1 on album charts > debuting at number-one on album charts (Consistent with current Lead) or debuting at No. 1 on album charts Latter has a non-breakable space. Which ever you decide be consistent throughout the article.
2. The album has been certified > It has been certified

After first United States in main text (after the Lead) then use US (not U.S.) consistently unless its in a direct quote. You might have to do the same with United Kingdom and UK. Go back through the article and check these.
   1. As indicated in refs section, this paragraph needs updating. The album is now multi-platinum in more than eight countries: see wikitable in Chart performance section. Additional platinum album in three more countries with France now muti-platinum.

8. On 20 October 2008, Black Ice was released in the United States, and sold upwards of 193,000 units on the first day.[69] On the first day of its US release (20 October), it sold upwards of 193,000 units.[69]
9. The following week on 28 October, Black Ice debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 album chart, selling over 784,000 copies in its first week of release, the second highest one-week sales of an album in the US of 2008, behind only Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III.[70] > By 28 October, Black Ice debuted at number-one on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, selling over 784,000 copies in its first week, the second highest one-week sales of an album in the US of 2008, behind Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III.[70] Brevity, style.

11. The paragraph starting with "On 20 October 2008 Black Ice debuted at" is very confusing with apparently contrary claims each verified by the same three references. We're told it debuted at number 3 (should be styled as number three or No. 3 according to your earlier choice) and then it debuted at number-one on 28 Oct. How can it debut twice? This needs fixing, likewise the refs need to be improved (more about them later). By the way Black Ice should be italicised and ARIA is an acronym so all caps is required. When was it released in Australia? Here the article says on 20 Oct, later the Release history says 18 Oct but ref [63] says it was released 17 Oct. Which ref verifies 3× Platinum in a week? The wikilink piped as [[Australian Recording Industry Association|Australian Aria Album Charts]] is confusing, you should use [[ARIA Charts|ARIA Albums Chart]] but the placement should be at first mention of ARIA Albums Chart or the equivalent but less precise phrase Australian album charts. References for charting should be directly from ARIA, officially supported sites or reliable web archives for historical positions. References for certification/accreditation should also be from ARIA or reliable archives. Undercover is not as reliable for charting/accreditation, the ARIA ref used goes only to current chart: AC/DC's Black Ice does not appear on this week's Top 50, McCabe is not as reliable either. Current refs [88] and [108] could work better here. Keep Undercover for the mix up regarding debut and early release.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:18, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Still see 'U.S', 'Aria Album Charts', 'number one' > 'US', 'ARIA Albums Chart', 'number-one'.

Fact check on 3× platinum in its first week in Australia. Cashmere says "In the third full week on sale in Australia ... according to the ARIA chart Black Ice is certified 3× platinum already". You need to re-word this part.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 10:32, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Changed the data (it's the ones from the link, plus the ones from the table, and removing Norway because it is not here)

Now we have two instances of massive ref clutter! Nine refs in one and four more in the second. If you want to have these facts verified at this point in the article then you'll need to use notes with a cite bundle (see Bundling citations). e.g. <sup id="nbFoot01a" class="reference">[[#noteFoot01a|[A]]]</sup> at this point. Then, above the references section, you add ==Notes== <ol class="references"> <li id="noteFoot01a" >'''[[#nbFoot01a|^]]''' The fourteen countries are Argentina,[#} Australia,[#} Austria,[#} Belgium,[#} Canada,[#} Finland,[#} France,[#} Germany,[#} Hungary,[#} Ireland,[#} New Zealand,[#} Sweden,[#} Switzerland,[#} and United States.[#} </ol>

2. "Rock 'n' Roll Train" (yeah the single article is incorrectly styled, for comparison see "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" or "Rock 'n' Roll Star") is also known as "Runaway Train" which was the working title for the album.
I mention this on the song's article, no need to include it here.

The back of the CD case and the booklet have no accent for any of the "Rock N Roll" songs (although it clearly writes one as "Spoilin' for a Fight"), but their website uses that styling. Not sure if it needs to change. igordebraga ≠ 18:28, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are numerous cases where wikipedia uses a different styling for a band/album/single name from that supplied by official websites, CD cases or other sources. The phrase Rock and Roll is abbreviated in numerous ways but "Rock 'N Roll Train" doesn't work well when compared with other similar instances on wikipedia; "Rock 'n' Roll Train" works better (see examples above).shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 21:55, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2. Verifiable with no original research:

(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with

the layout style guideline

;

(b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose); and

(c) it contains no original research.

References I will be checking all the references and each comment below is under their number as they existed at this time. The order may change from this numbering as refs get moved, added or deleted. Preliminary comment: all refs including newspapers should have a publisher. Newspapers and other works are generally italicised but publishers are not. Use dmy dates for date, archive date and retrieved date.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 05:53, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1. Use English version where available: current url leads to the Google books (Portuguese?) description of the book but does not support the claims made up to this point (I count seven of them). I don't have a copy of the book so I can't fact check these. Curiously there are 13 contributors to the book. Do you know who wrote pp 190–193? Are these part of a particular chapter or section? Location of publisher?

That's because 2 of the four pages are available on the Google Books preview (it ends up on Google Brazil because I forgot to remove the ".br"). For the unavailable, a search through the book returns the data - the data is not in a single place, but across the pages. The author wrote the entire book. But added publisher location.

The double use came because I face GA reviewers that don't think a ref can cover the entire text that precedes it. But changed to "Cite journal".

3. According to page 2 in source, Bowcott is the US contributor but he did not write this specific article so he is not its co-author. Who publishes Marshall Law? Who is the editor? What is the issue no.? Change: format=[[Portable Document Format]] (PDF) Note that this ref covers many of the claims at ref [1]. While here, why do we need three refs for the points made? Pick the most reliable/independent ref that best covers all the claims since last tab.

Template instructions show just "PDF" is alright.

I'd still wikilink it the first time in refs: format=[[Portable Document Format|PDF]]

4. Use dmy dates. Publisher? This ref is needed for second and third use but optional on first use.
5. Use dmy dates. Publisher? Does not support facts at second and third use, these include direct quotes. A different ref is needed.

81. dmy. Publisher. Wikilink author.

86. I get charts from 16-22 Jan 2011 with Pink Floyd's The Wall at No. 1! No sign of Black Ice nor AC/DC.
87. dmy. publisher=Australian charts portal (Hung Medien). Note: Hung Medien publishes a lot of the charts used in this article. While on Hung Medien, click on a flag icon in section In the countries: to go to that particular country's charts portal, to get further info.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:00, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
88. This url does not appear to support claim of No. 1 on Austrian charts. Try here instead. Give date of chart.
shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 13:22, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
89. (Ultratop)publisher=[[Ultratop]], Hung Medien) Is the language Belgian?
90. I get current chart with Tepláky Aneb Kroky Františka Soukupa by Nightwork but no AC/DC nor Black Ice. Don't forget language, if its not in English.
91. dmy. Black Ice at No. 13? Language.

shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:00, 18 March 2011 (UTC) I only saw if the links were dead before nominating, should have checked them instead... igordebraga ≠ 01:02, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. I'll help by continuing with my ref/fact checking. Still using old ref numbers.

99. (Polish charts)Now changed to ZPAV. Works better.
100. Where do you find the author name? If his name is Steffen Hung then use last=Hung and first=Steffen. But check that he wrote the chart(s) rather than he is an owner/editor/complier of the website. If the latter leave author off. Publisher is Portuguese charts portal (Hung Medien).
101. Spanish charts portal.
102. Swedish charts portal.
103. The Official Swiss Charts.
104. Title: AC/DC Album & Song Chart History
105. dmy.
106. Own website? Band/artist websites are not always reliable for Certifications/Accreditations. Do you have any independent source(s) for these? In any case, it only states multi-platinum which could be 2×, 3× or 4× &c.
     1. Also fact check each cert: e.g UK gold or platinum? Austrian platinum or 3× platinum.

        Just to clarify why UK is platinum: searching for "Black Ice" returns a Gold certification, but clicking on "More Info" returns dates for Silver and Platinum. Also, removed those I couldn't find a source outside the press release.

107. Publisher is Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).
108. I only get the search engine, but no results. Using the engine: I get 3× Platinum on 13 May 2009 (article only has 1 Plat). You may have to provide instructions: insert Note: Requires user to enter Titel: Black Ice before </ref>
109. Title: 'Ultratop Belgian Charts – Les Disques d'Or/de Platine – Albums – 2009' Language.
110. Publisher full name wikilinked if first time then acronym.
shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 04:00, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
111. (Finland Certs)Okay.
112. Can't see 3× Platinum here only 2×.

1. The thing is kind of broken... it has two Double certifications, one giving a 400k number and another, 600k.

111. Couldn't check this ref: denied access by my server.
112. Goes to current chart, try here. Publisher needs full name wikilinked, if not previously; then (acronym).
Are you talking about the PDF with the chart? If so, I added a quote.
115. Assuming Ou = gold? AFP in full, wikilink if first time, then acronym.
116. Publisher is The Official Swiss Charts (Hung Medien). Language.
117. (Now at [64]?) Publisher full name, wikilink first time then acronym.
118. (Now [133]. Full publisher, not just MTV or the more precise
     MTV German but also add in (Viacom
     ).
119. Replaced by ref [131]. Title: 'of'. ARIA in full and not italics then acronym.
120. Now [135]. OK.
121. Publisher is The Official Swiss Charts (Hung Medien).
122. Denied access by my server.
123. OK.
124. I get hi-jacked by bandit.fm and then can't find the relevant information.
Even the waybackmachine.org ref gets hijacked too. Replaced with an existing one.
126. OK.
127. Title: 'Vinyl'.
128. Publisher is Sony Music Japan?
129. Denied access by my server.

Criterion2Doneshaidar cuebiyar (talk) 05:57, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Criterion 3

3. Broad in its coverage:

(a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic; and

(b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).

1. Article does cover many facets of the album in considerable detail: its impressive and I've learnt a lot by reading it. The significant contributions by the Youngs as the band's leaders, guitarists and song writers is well covered: they should be duly mentioned in the Lead. Johnson's work as vocalist is important to the sound of the album: he should be in the Lead. Williams is mentioned for his injured hand: otherwise he is hardly acknowledged in the main text. Rudd is not in the Lead (he should not be on current content), his drumming is briefly described. I'd like to see more from/on these two in main text.
2. Album spawned three singles which charted on Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks top 50 including a No. 1 there but none are mentioned in the Lead.
3. Second best selling album worldwide for 2008 is notable enough to be in the Lead.
4. An expansion of positive review for the Lead (what is it commonly praised for?) to balance 'overly long and inconsistent' phrase.
5. Track, "War Machine", was compiled onto the Iron Man 2 soundtrack album. Not mentioned, should be in main text.
6. More accolades: won two
   APRA Awards of 2010
   for Angus and Malcolm.
7. Stability of line-up, essentially unchanged since mid-1994?
8. Much is made of not issuing their music digitally for Black Ice. Did they maintain this position with later releases?
They only had one CD release after that (Iron Man 2), and it was mantained. shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 12:16, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Doneshaidar cuebiyar (talk) 12:19, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Criterion 4

4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
1. Already refreshingly neutral, further addressing of comments above will improve this too.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 12:26, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Doneshaidar cuebiyar (talk) 12:19, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Criterion 5

5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
1. Generally stable with no recent edit wars. Some further changes based on this reviewer's suggestions are expected.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 12:29, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Doneshaidar cuebiyar (talk) 05:57, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Criterion 6

6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as
   audio
   :

(a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and

(b) media are

relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions
