A comment[edit]
I've replied to you on my talk page - but I would add that comments like this have no place on an article talk page, and indeed no place in Wikipedia. Please, try to respect other editors who have made far more constructive edits here, over a far longer period, than you have. Wikipedia is based around the concept of collaboration, and working constructively together, even with people with whom you disagree or dislike. Don't just read WP:NPA, take it to heart. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:36, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
PS: Nor is this comment helpful. Starting from the statement that "I shall be removing it..." is never a good idea. If other people disagree with you, your comment will be reverted and discussions will continue. Be aware of policy on edit warring and, I strongly suggest, consider taking a less adversarial position. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:41, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- I will remove any information that is not accurate and back it up with sources. If others want to question reliable sources and discuss that, fair enough. CliffordJones (talk) 08:44, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
January 2016[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Cliff Richard are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. If you want to discuss another editor's conduct, you should do so on their user talk page. McGeddon (talk) 10:19, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for welcoming me into the Wikipedia community. I plan to make constructive edits to articles and any information I add to be backed up with reliable sources. Cheers! CliffordJones (talk) 10:36, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- I shall soon be able to edit the Cliff Richard article and be able to add information with reliable sources. CliffordJones (talk) 11:49, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

July 2016[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Copacabana (song), but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 13:52, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
- I won't be fighting this, but surely there is a difference between original research and obvious fact. Copacabana is known by the majority of the British public, like several other songs that never made the top 40 charts, and is more recognised today than many songs that were big chart hits in the past too. If it's parent album sold well and went top 20, which it did, two positions shy of the top 10 in fact, and it was included on a compilation album a matter of months later that sold even better, there is no reason to doubt at all those are truer reflections of the songs popularity in that country than the low chart placing of the original single release. Singles were largely released to try and sell albums. Manilow was a MOR act, not a teen sensation. Those audiences usually buy albums. CliffordJones (talk) 17:36, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
- You may be correct, but we need a reliable source that made a statement to that effect. DonIago (talk) 18:45, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

December 2017[edit]
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Angela Rayner, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 01:25, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
All members of the British parliament have the rt. hon title. They don't just use it for some and not others. Watch PMQs. They are all reffered to as "the rt. hon. lady" or "the rt. hon gentlemen". Indeed each MP HAS to refer to their peers in this fashion when addressing them, they CAN NOT use any other form of address. So warch it. Asking for a source? You really think news articles and such like are going tp use it? Gimme a break. I suppose we should now remove the title from the page of every MP for the reason they are all unsourced. But no, lets not & just not include it on a seclet few. Bizzare & barbaric! CliffordJones (talk) 05:16, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi - Please can you take some time to read WP:V, WP:CITE, and WP:RS. I note your comment "None of the intro is "sourced" does that mean we should erase it?". Please also read WP:LEAD. The lead should be a summary of the main section and does not need to be referenced providing the material it summarises is properly sourced: I have added some missing citations.
