:Merged the two articles. Mainly created a discography and copied some text, cutting out the advertisements. Deleted Alison Moyet/temp, but the text can still be found for example here -- Chris 73 Talk 02:02, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)
Chris, and anonymous contributor, thanks for your work.  I hope that all will feel free to edit the text to correct factual inaccuracies.
One thing I remember about Alison is how, I think in 1987, she had a UK single "Loveletters Straight from your Heart" that was number 65 in the BBC annual list for that year .    My son used to sing it, though he could barely speak at the time.  "ikissername" may well have been his first words. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:52, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy.  In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright.  If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed, feel free to ask me on my talk page and I'll review it personally.  Thanks. ---J.S (t|c) 04:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I notice that the "Background Info" now shows "Died 17 Oct 2010, Bangor, Ireland".
I can't find confirmation on this anywhere including her official site.  And there is no mention of this anywhere else in the article.  This looks like an error, but I'll leave the change to someone who knows definitely.

message: Sales of 800,000 for UK singles is a massive underestimation. Her 6 Top 10 singles come to about 1.5 million sales. That Ole Devil and All Cried Out both sold around 300,000 copies; Is This Love and Love Letters both sold 250,000+, and Weak and Love Resurrection both sold almost 200,000 each. I'd imagine Invisible sold a few over the Christmas period. Reckon she's on about 1.7 million sales total. rpj  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rpjonesuk (talk • contribs) 14:07, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Presumably they're talking about certified sales - which is basically her four silver discs added up to 800,000. In fact, silver certifications were for 250,000 pre 1989, so it would add up to one million for these alone. I'll amend the text accordingly, but can't put an exact figure unless we have a source.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 14:13, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

message: I notice a gap in account of her schooling, saying she attended Markham Wood Junior School. Next sentence begins "After leaving school at 16.." without mention of where she attended after junior school level. Raises question as to whether secondary schooling was in state school or private, and where she was schooled, locally or away from family home? Worth looking to fill that gap, those editors with access to information about that stage of her schooling.Cloptonson (talk) 19:40, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

message: I've edited this for greater clarity. The letter she signed was not attacking Stonewall for "supporting trans rights" as an earlier version had it, but for a failure to act against bullies trying to silence gender criticism. You could link to the letter itself, but I've stayed with a reputable newspaper.  95.145.211.32 (talk) 22:47, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi just seeing your post now. The link you used is an opinion piece. Opinion pieces are generally not considered reliable sources. The Reuters article I found was the only non-opinion piece I saw on this letter from a mainstream news source and it see the letter as being over trans rights. Rab V (talk) 02:15, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

text: The mention doesn’t even make sense grammatically. Everything Moyet has ever said or done is not notable. Actor James Dreyfus who signed that same letter has made such issues a staple of his personal life yet there is no mention on his page. Moyet recanted her support for it and has shared her views on myriad topics. We can’t and shouldn’t be listing them all. Transgender issues haven’t been a notable concern of hers throughout her career.  Partyclams (talk) 19:07, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
