Maiden has met, start recording Jan. 6
This doesn't come from any article, but by a review of a Nicko gig in Italy (nov. 6th). It was posted on the official BB and is credited to MetalDreamer, a BB member.Here what Nicko stated:
"We’re all meeting in London on Monday to start writing songs for the new Iron Maiden album!"
"We’re starting recording on Jan. 6th.!"
This means that Maiden re-united last Monday!Please note: This is not officially confirmed so treat it as a rumour

Cheers, I'll edit this post and post it as a rumour 
I'm not the one who put it in the main page.
i know I am, is it a problem?
Wow take easy buddy. I just said that I'm not the one who posted it. Go buy yourself a beer 
and give me a break.
I am taking it easy I thought you were getting defensive and I couldnt see why. Dont sweat it
The only sweating thing here is the glass of my beer 
Don't fight over my thread, friends
My orginal post said that it surely couldn't be posted on the main page (stayed where I posted it), but what an honor. Thanks to you that put me here 
If you want very solid material, just take a look at what I've just posted ! You'll be glad you did.
Cheers
No fighting at all!

Don't worry, I noted it was for fun, but was I laughing while reading both of your replies
Cheers

Whos fighting then?
And just for the record, I've no problem about rumours on the news page as long as they say they are rumours. This is a fansite after all and thats what fansites do best - start and spread rumours

That's not good for me. The thing is if you post rumors in the main page you loose credibility. People thing " ah that site is just starting rumors". I think we need a place just for the rumors in the forum. The main page is just for the news. That's why I always put the source. But hey I'm not the owner of this site so you can do whatever you want. It's just my opinion about it.
yeah i can see that point of view and ideally i'd have a rumours news page but the forum wont let me have two news pages :\
The good thing is though if the rumours turn out to be true you get credit for being first with the story and if it doesnt you can say well it was only a rumour anyway. I think its a win win situation

As long as you clearly state it's a rumour, then it's ok IMO. If it's a rumour but you don't say so, then that's losing credibility.

I know that but we can have a rumors place just like the "Unapproved News Forum". If the rumors becomes News we move it to the main page. Piece of cake.

Yeah but that's a risk situation 'cause if don't turn out to be true you're just a rumors spreader. And the risk is your credibility, once you loose it you're dead.

But if you're saying that's a rumour why post it like News? Make no sense to me. You're just spreading a rumour, then that's losing credibility.
You're not spreading it. You're posting it on a website as a rumour. Spreading it is treating it as fact.
That's my point... if you're posting it as a rumour you can post it wherever you want, not in the News page, 'cause is not a fact so it's not news.
It's just the latest Maiden events-true or rumour. Like RW said, it might not be rumour. Who can tell?
I wouldn't get it as far a "you post a rumor, lose your credibility and you're dead". It's a Maiden fan page and I don't think it will no more read if few rumors are put on the main page.
Sometimes, we get articles about Maiden from serious newspaper and would take the info as granted and then see it turned out not true either.
But I understand your point Shaman. Could be nice to have a 'news from the world' page and a 'rumours' page, both on the main site.
Now, who wants to start a new Majesty of Gaia news to have fun 
Cheers

An official source can confirm or deny a piece of information or you can try check it out in a magazine, a web site from a band, a press release etc...

If you post "a rumor" like you said no problem, but keep doing that and you're dead. NO one will trust you, so someday when you have a good piece of info people will not believe in you.
