thread_title:  GA? 

message: I have a Rough Trade Australia/New Zealand LP of The Smiths which features "This Charming Man" as the 11th song, after "Suffer Little Children", so there must have been at least one edition that featured the song prior to WEA's reissues.
Looks like it's shaping up to be a great article though. :) --Hn 20:49, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I have tried to modify the introduction to take this into account. Thanks for your help with the article. Hopefully we can get it on the front page one day. Live Forever 21:58, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Perhaps it would be a good idea to include band's that have covered This Charming Man, just to further expand the references section.  I believe it would provide a context to the extent The Smith's music has permeated music culture.

thread_title:  References 

message: I don't know what others actually exist, but Death Cab for Cutie has a cover of this song on the You Can Play These Songs with Chords archive release in 2002. I believe this should be mentioned in the article, I wasn't too sure where to fit it in. --Drowse 07:45, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cover Versions... 

message: Although currently reference is made the jangle pop and surf rock influences on this track, I think the former should be changed to 'highlife'. In that Guitar Player article, Marr makes about three references IIRC to the highlife influence on his guitar lines. And this song might be his highlifiest. --Adamgarrigus 22:18, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Composition and Meaning 

message: Yeah, place suggestions below and how to improve it. I can't be bothered myself right now. --Tom of north wales 12:10, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it was featured, then demoted from FA, then relisted as GA. That's fine at the moment.--h i s   s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 18:17, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Make it featured. 

message: Why did we get many of the different releases of the single? I'm sure many people would like to know the names of the b-sides and the different track listings of the single in different countries. - flowerkiller1692 23:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Track Listings? 

message: This article is pretty large, yet only elaborates on the first half of the lyrics.  Obviously the charming man and Mr Bicycle have fallen out? Maikel (talk) 08:08, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

message: This song was unavailable on CD in the UK until 1992, when it was released on CD single, and subsequently on the warners reissue of the first alvum and "Best" in early '93. Unless you count the BBC version on Hatful of Hollow.  Am I right?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.77.1 (talk) 08:32, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Totally unrelated to the unsourced genre that I recently removed, but does the single source cited really support pop rock as a genre? The term 'pop-rock' (or 'pop/rock') surely just indicates maybe pop, maybe rock, as opposed to pop rock as a genre, which is used to describe the likes of Busted, Hanson, and McFly - not in any way what the Smiths were about. --Michig (talk) 18:31, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
