message: What is probably the most important aspect of the incident is missing from the article: Blair begging Bush to send him and sort out the "shit", and Bush telling him to stay put because Condie was already going to handle it. 83.67.217.254 23:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I've changed this article to state that its misquote. There was a BBC radio programme http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/mainframe.shtml?http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio4_aod.shtml?radio4/afternoon_reading about this misquote. Video sites can lead you to plenty video references to the actual video where he clearly says "Yeah Blair"

message: Susie Dent's the langauge report (Oxford, 2007), which post-dates this article by at least year, appears to draw quite heavily on it: at least its references, including to the Sunday Times and Private Eye. IXIA (talk) 07:47, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: You can use these   and check 17 seconds in of this video  Govgovgov (talk) 20:51, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, these are already in the article. The YouTube link won't really show anything. Any better sources? Perhaps there is a compromise we can come to. --John (talk) 21:56, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: In the video he clearly says "Yeah, Blair" and I don't want the article to misinform readers any longer. I don't know what's better than those sources. My edit just let readers know that it was actually "Yeah, Blair" and left the rest of the article as referring to it at "Yo, Blair" so I don't know what to compromise on. Govgovgov (talk) 22:57, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

text: Maybe leaving the rest of the article as "Yo, Blair" is a compromise. Govgovgov (talk) 23:02, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I think we would need more sources to enact that kind of change. Let's see what others think. --John (talk) 23:14, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The talk page is a graveyard so I don't think any more people are coming. I concede that most source use "Yo, Blair", however, some sources use "Yeah, Blair", others point out the mistake and audio of the conversation clearly shows it to be "Yeah, Blair". Although the OR rule may prevent us from using the audio argument, the article shouldn't be left wrong because of it. Govgovgov (talk) 23:42, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Should the article state that it was actually "Yeah, Blair" or ignore that because it was popularised as "Yo, Blair"? Govgovgov (talk) 18:58, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: This proposed edit was removed and what I want the RfC to decide on . Here are some sources:   and check 17 seconds in of this video  for proof that it was "Yeah". Govgovgov (talk) 22:19, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

text: I'm concerned because readers will read this article and think it was "Yo" when it was "Yeah". Is it possible to have an audio recording of it on this page? A description under it should mention that it's been reported as "Yeah". That option will obey WP:UNDUE and give the readers the correct information if they play the recording.
