message: Surely this was their seventh single - not second. See Coldplay discography#Singles. Or am I missing something? Peanut4 (talk) 00:07, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct, it is the seventh. I think whoever wrote it was probably thinking of the second from the album. --JD554 (talk) 07:32, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: GA Review

message: I was reading the article just now, and noticed in the Reception section a quote from a Rolling Stone editor that may leave a misleading impression. The reviewer says that the line is: "Let's go back to the star". I know this is kind of WP:OR; if you listen to the song it's not quite clear, but it sounds more like "start" on every occasion. Also, every major lyric website (yes I know, lyric sites are oftentimes wikis) reports it as "start" for every pre-chorus. I don't own the album, so I don't know what the lyric liner says. This may sound weak, but for the sake of the encyclopedia, I think this part of the quote needs to somehow be removed, because it may not be true. Comments? Jamie☆S93 18:15, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: AFAIK, none of the Coldplay albums include lyrics, but the official website says 'start'. -- I need a name (talk) 20:37, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Good finding! Didn't know they had all that info on the website. I've excluding the lyric from the quote with a "...", and tried to keep it as original as possible by only changing the word "with". Best, Jamie☆S93 21:00, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Could someone make any needed corrections on this page and the category page?  170.211.148.46 (talk) 15:39, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I don't believe he goes back to the suburbs.  Hopefully all y'all won't be upset I put the location as Kentish Town.  A look in google shows Hampstead Heath near there - across the tracks.  London has tracks like that all through it, but at some level it does match the walk from Kentish town in Camden in London to Hampstead Heath, which certainly has wooded areas and a hill.  (All though I've been most recently in 1998 it has been 59 years since I spent considerable time on the heath.)  I don't consider this research - one can see it in the video - it is hardly research.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.191.81.188 (talk) 10:47, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Video Filming Location 

message: The version of the song performed by Katelyn Epperly on the 9th Season of American Idol is in fact an "Other Version" of the song. American Idol is a noted musical TV program that is highly viewed. The episode was viewed by more than 23 Million people. Three youtube videos combined have another 165,000 views with much commentary on the version performed by Katelyn Epperly. Katelyn is a musician and not a one off talent show participant. The interweb contains many articles about the performance. To remove the edit as being "not notable" is an opinion of the editor. The factual evidence reveals it is a different version of the song, as well as being notable as described above. The interweb contains many articles about the performance. Further, in this same section there is a cite to a Voice contestant performing the song.
In addition, while a youtube video may not be an appropriate cite in most instances, this youtube videos documents that the performance happened on American Idol, although there are other cites including the full article of American Idol Season 9 on Wikipedia. 
Further, Calidum says "not important." Many music listeners enjoy hearing different or alternative versions of popular songs. Wikipedia is a site to find out about those other versions. I went and listed to both the Willie Nelson Version of the song and the Voice contestant's version of the song after coming to this page. Katelyn Epperly's version of the song is readily available on the web as described above and providing this version to music enthusiasts is important.
Let's include the below in the article under "Other Versions"

text: Gee, 2601:182:C001:AAD1:ACF9:D78E:C819:213C, how did you just happen to come upon this obscure conversation on a very obscure Wikipedia talk page, having never having made a single edit to Wikipedia, mere minutes after this conversation started? Forgive us if we suspect you are a sockpuppet of the other IP, and discount your ill-considered (having never before even ventured upon Wikipedia) opinion. And you are even spouting the same nonsensical rhetoric about number of viewers. Softlavender (talk) 03:49, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Gee, Softlavender, I never purported to be a different user. I'm just on a different computer. You should ask yourself the same question, as you are suddenly on this obscure conversation. You weren't conversing with martin all day on another page were you? No, that couldn't of happened, right. I'm sure you weren't asked to come to this conversation and revert the page. Forgive me if I suspect that you are ganging up. Additionally, none of you has made a valid reason why the addition should not be included. Most of all, you have added nothing. So I'm the only one that has contributed anything of substance to the talk page, where you have just made reversions.2601:182:C001:AAD1:ACF9:D78E:C819:213C (talk) 03:58, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

text: I don't think TV talent contest performances are notable. Not even those by guest artists. Chris Martin included. Martinevans123 (talk) 07:40, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

text: I’m very pleased that you “don’t wish to denigrate me”. But then I’m not quite sure why you suggest that I reverted your entry “without any thought or research”. I see that Katelyn Epperly is not notable enough to have her own article and that her name redirects to American Idol (season 9). So I’d imagine that’s the article where any details about "her" choices of song for the show might be added. I would have no objection to the removal of the performances in Glee and The Voice. Perhaps if Ms Epperly eventually secured a recording contract and recorded the song on an album which was itself praised, or at least discussed, by multiple WP:RS sources, maybe then it could be added to this article. If there was consensus to do so. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:17, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
