Talk:Led Zeppelin IV

message: I'm not sure about charting but, I would tend to believe that it qualifies for the list.  Mlpearc (open channel) 18:44, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Note that the list is quite long already, do we need to list the entire track list ?  Mlpearc (open channel) 18:48, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

text: Every song except "Four Sticks" is quite well-known, but I agree that it's a little excessive to have six or seven of eight songs mentioned. --BenStein69 (talk) 19:08, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: If there is a song in the list that didn't chart as well as Evermore but is more popular ? If so they can be swapped.  Mlpearc (open channel) 23:53, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Battle of Evermore, inclusion as "one of the band's best-known songs" ? 

message: Does anybody know the *original* source of the photos used with the album?
"Unseen photos of East End London in glorious colour" (by the late David Granick) from the BBC  looks about right, the original album has a credit for the internal illustration but not for the photos. MarkMLl (talk) 14:42, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Original photographer 

message: As much as I love Ian Stewart he did NOT appear on piano for the song Rock And Roll. He didn't. I have the original album and the only person who is credited to have been a guest on Led Zeppelin IV was Sandy Denny. Allmusic.com does not have him listed on there either. Please stop adding him! He appeared on Physical Graffiti but not IV.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.136.108.234 (talk) 01:36, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: He is not credited, but Dave Lewis, a Led Zeppelin expert who has been endorsed by the band, confirms his appearance. The jam from the same recording session, "Boogie With Stu" (named after him) appears on Physical Graffiti. Because the Rolling Stones were signed to a different label than Led Zeppelin, it may not have been possible to credit him for legal reasons. As you can see from a brief summary at WP:WikiProject Led Zeppelin, Lewis is one of the very few authors on this subject who the band themselves consider a reliable source, and in my opinion it's the best you can get.

thread_title:  Ian Stewart 

message: It seems every now and again, an argument flares up over what the "genre" field in the infobox should be, and it looks like it's this article's turn this week. I have reverted back to the version that passed the GA review as a starting point. If anyone feels hard done by, say so. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:43, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: What an arbitrary point of revision to revert back to; will doing this magically deter something like this from happening again? Why not just revert and report the anonymous, genre-warring IP vandal, whose edits and argument carry no weight here? As opposed to pretending like the several sources cited in the article, mentioning metal, don't exist. Dan56 (talk) 14:58, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  All I see is an editor who disagrees with you. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:01, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Genres, yet again 

message: "Heavy metal" is unfit for purpose as a genre describing this album. Within the article indeed, sourced content states that this album is one pertaining to the genre in question, and indeed there are copious inferences as to its influence on the metal genre. However, this genre is unsuitable for inclusion in the infobox; if an article were to include any genre in its infobox, be it "heavy metal" or otherwise, one would expect a corpus of songs of this type on the album. To the contrary, all of the songs within have articles with info-boxes and of these none describe the relevant song as "heavy metal".
I thus propose the removal of this genre, as it is inapposite in describing this album's songs. I am willing to discuss this point at length, and will not make any changes without prior approval.

thread_title:  Headley Grange 

message: Hi, would anyone here be able to confirm or deny this claim, that stop bars were further from the bridges on Page's guitar, and thus this is merely a similar guitar? There may not be a reliable source, but if that seems true, I'd say there's enough reasonable doubt to remove the photo from the article.
Paging , as based on the GAN, I believe you're the subject expert.  --  Zanimum (talk) 01:41, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

message: Hello, I found and uploaded to the Commons a free version of the Saturn sigil used by Page for his symbol.  See :File:Zoso from p 31 of Le triple vocabulaire infernal from 1847.jpg.  It is a sigil for the planet Saturn from p. 31 of Le Triple vocabulaire infernal, manuel du démonomane, ou Les ruses de l'Enfer dévoilées, published in Paris, France, Printed by Typ. de Blocquel-Castiaux, in 1847; from a public domain book at Internet Archive, see: https://archive.org/details/BIUSante_73618/page/n35/mode/2up and https://ia903105.us.archive.org/BookReader/BookReaderImages.php?zip=/19/items/BIUSante_73618/BIUSante_73618_jp2.zip&file=BIUSante_73618_jp2/BIUSante_73618_0036.jp2&id=BIUSante_73618&scale=2&rotate=0; a similar symbol was used by Jimmy Page as his personal symbol/logo for the untitled Led Zeppelin album commonly called Led Zeppelin IV.

I have put this free-use, public domain image into the article.  If you think it should be put somewhere else, that's acceptable. TuckerResearch (talk) 17:10, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  I added a free version of the ZoSo symbol 

message: "The typeface for the lyrics to "Stairway to Heaven", printed on the inside sleeve of the album, was Page's contribution. He found it in an old Arts and Crafts magazine called The Studio which dated from the late 19th century. He thought the "lettering was interesting and arranged for someone to create a whole alphabet."
