Talk:Kerrang!

message: This article has no outside links except to its own website, and a mention of circulation numbers from an audit, but without providing a link to a source.  How do we know that any of the information in this article is real?  There need to be outside references which prove this periodical's notability. --Elonka 18:23, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've spent some time tracing the other articles that this one links to, and I found a long series of, well, garbage.  Non-notable bios, unsourced claims, and a ton of WP:BLP violations, referring to various people (including Kurt Cobain) in a negative fashion.  I've deleted a fair amount, placed citation tags on others, but help would be appreciated in figuring out just how far the blast radius goes. --Elonka 18:45, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Lack of references

message: I think there needs to be a list/description of the regular features which occur in the magazine each week (like the paragraph about Pandora) ...ummm yeah that's all.

message: In 2001 Emap launched Kerrang! TV. As with the radio station, the TV channel covers the more mainstream side of the rock music as well as classic rock bands like Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses and Whitesnake.- Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses and Whitesnake are typical mainstream rock bands, so how can somebody say that above????
:Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses and Whitesnake are classic rock.  Aerosmith have been around for ages, and G N' R and Whitesnake haven't released albums in years! --  JediLofty User ¦ Talk 11:40, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Depressingly this was still true over a year later. I've removed the most egrecious instances of lifting and added the original source. It's still a good source, though, and we should be looking to use it as a reference (without simply copying it this time).

replies: text:  Heh. Further investigation suggests that this article contained substantially the same content in January 2008, while the Winchester Uni piece is dated (through the statistics it cites) to the end of that year. I've restored the material, tagged this as a , and mailed the university. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 09:09, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

message: The Current Format sections starts, "Kerrang!'s first successful period came under editor Paul Rees circa 2000..."
Not sure it's reasonable to say that it took 19 years for the magazine to have it's first successful period. What's the benchmark to measure this statement against?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cronoz (talk • contribs) 21:59, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The name Kerrang! is pronounced more or less identically to Quiraing, a well known mountain feature on Skye in Scotland.  Do any sources mention whether the magazine founders knew of this, or have made the connection?   Ghmyrtle (talk) 11:09, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
