... does this break the rules? --Matt Westwood 07:23, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Not the "rules", per se, but you are spot on that it's not very encyclopedic-sounding. I'll fix it immediately. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 01:57, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  non-wikipedia standard language 

message: Can I get some opinions on how this sentence is referenced:
"The song, which addresses a son's regret over unresolved conflict with his now-deceased father, moved veteran entertainer Rolf Harris to tears, live on UK breakfast television in December 1988.TV-am. 5 December, 1988."
The first reference is a source that describes the song theme. The second reference, as I understand, should source the claim that the song "moved veteran entertainer Rolf Harris to tears, live on UK breakfast television in December 1988." I can't see how linking to TV-am within the reference achieves that objective. Not only does the source fail to support the claim, the use of TV-am doesn't seem to meet WP:CIRCULAR .

replies: text: I agree. We can't use a Wikipedia article about a TV show as a reference for something that happened on that show. A newspaper article about the incident would be acceptable. I am not even sure that shedding of tears deserves mention, unless it received great attention. People tear up when they hear sad songs all the time.

replies: text: I added a reference to an article in The Age that mentions the incident, which was the best source I could find. The incidents is mentioned on blogs and forums, seems to be mentioned in a couple of books hidden behind paywalls. The issue is whether the incident is a big enough part of the history of the song to be mentioned. I have no opinion on that. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 00:51, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: If it were widely commented on at the time, then I think it would merit a mention - Harris was after all extremely famous in the late 1980s. I don't think it was widely commented on though, so it's probably as well to leave it out unless some further evidence emerges. The fact that Harris is now in disgrace isn't a direct consideration, but in my humble and subjective opinion, if an article about a very pure and much-loved song is spared the inclusion of a mention of Rolf Harris for any reason, that's perhaps a desirable outcome.Shiresman (talk) 01:15, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
