message: Some of the sentences in the main paragraph sounded weird, and a google search  shows that they were lifted from this article. tildetildetildetilde  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.164.64.131 (talk) 02:07, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  High Court 

message: I've sorted out the NoHo Square article but haven't got time at the moment to do anything here.  It's misleading to imply that they had 100% of a £1.5bn asset at NoHo Square - they had a 33% stake in the £175m deal to buy the original site, but it was going to need another £800m or so capex to do the development. When Kaupthing went bust, the Candys swapped their stake in NoHo for Kaupthing's stake in the 9900 Wilshire project in Beverly Hills, with a cash/shares adjustment - the talk at the time was the hospital site was valued at <£100m, and Stanhope finally did a deal at ~£50m. This whole article could do with a sortout though, they are reasonably high-profile with the Barracks thing. Le Deluge (talk) 10:52, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Seem 

message: I find it really hard to believe that 'the Candy brothers' should actually have a Wikipedia page. As the extremely limited info on the page would seem to attest, they are of very little consequence. There is next-to-nothing of interest in this article and, while different articles on One Hyde Park or other projects they've been involved in might be useful, I cannot see any significant contribution here. I think this article should be deleted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.20.86.240 (talk) 14:14, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure that the brothers are worth anything at all. $365.5 million is not much different to £330 million.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.68.199.137 (talk) 17:02, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Significance? 

message: There are many issues with this content - sourcing is one of them and the dog stuff seems designed to be a bit poking fun. this is not supported in the provide citations etc - Christian Candy, through his vehicle Solomon Capital, expanded his operations into the mining sector during 2010. Solomon owns a large stake in Metals Exploration Plc (AIM: MTL), a gold and molybdenum miner operating in the Philippines. In 2010 Solomon made a 13 pence per share bid for Metals Exploration Plc.

thread_title:  The recent desired addition 

message: Christian Candy married Emily Crompton in 2010. It appears that she is often mistaken in the press for Lady Emily Compton, daughter of Spencer Compton, 7th Marquess of Northampton. I have therefore edited the page according. Please see here for info http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/a7e163a8-860e-11de-98de-00144feabdc0.html#axzz4916yLFX. This is Lady Emily Compton, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1206839/The-Compton-girls-feud-ex-factor.html, a different person entirely. Thanks, Jaktheladz (talk) 09:19, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Mistaken identity

message: "Cayman" is a rather odd name to give to anyone, whether it is the name of a car or a tax haven. I suppose "Monaco" is the name of a car as well. All this giggling can end in disaster. It has already, with the court case.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.8.116.118 (talk) 11:05, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cayman 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Christian and Nick Candy's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "auto":
From The Guardian: 
From Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom): 
From 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 13:58, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
