thread_title: Discrepancy

message: There apears to be a small issue over the existance of two info boxes in this article. Its worth refering to [] to determine if multiple boxes are relivant. 
I've not read the section in detail but I have seen some pages where the second info box is included to support text with in the article. My view would support that. So, if there is detailed text discussing the Bannanarama version then the box should stay, otherwise the box should go. Please note, this is my own view and there may be policies/guidelines that may affect the situation.

replies: text: Irrespective of policy, I'm astonished that the Bananarama box is in there. They may have done the song (not that anyone noticed) but it has so little to do with them that I would suggest its imemdiate removal. Bentley Banana 08:25, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Multiple info boxes 

message: Would it be appropriate to add references to it being the theme song of a current sex scandal in the Philippines? The event has caused a resurgence in radio airplay because of the participants in the aforementioned scandal singing the song while his partner danced to its beat.

message: I think much of the riff's unique flavor comes from it being in the phrygian mode. Interesting to know ;) --logixoul 15:41, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I have changed this before, yet again, it has been changed.
Careless Whisper was originally released as a solo George Michael single and then credited as Wham! featuring George Michael in some countries.
George Michael was still performing in Wham! at the time and was included in the Wham! Album, Make it Big, which was released several months after the single.
The sources for this are numerous:
The picture on this page of the UK single, which clearly states “George Michael” only.
The official video on YouTube. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=izGwDsrQ1eQ
George Michael’s official Facebook page. https://m.facebook.com/pg/georgemichael/about/?ref=page_internal&mt_nav=0
The official website of the UK music charts. https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/3/george-michael/
It was listed in the discography of the official George Michael website but at the moment, the website is entirely about a recent auction of George’s art collection.
I’m not saying that there should be no mention of the song being released under a different credit in some nations and it should be noted that Andrew Ridgeley co-wrote the track. But the initial release was solely as a George Michael single and the page should reflect that.

replies: text: We should be looking at WP:Reliable sources instead of Facebook or YouTube, especially since a strong source will be needed to contradict the cited sources saying both Wham members co-wrote the song. Binksternet (talk) 00:10, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

text: I'm still not sure whether it should be listed as a George Michael-only song or Wham song. If this is indeed Ridgeley's official Twitter account, his statement should be considered: "For the record, I wasn't 'added' to the writing credits, I co-wrote it & co-writers are always credited". Kailash29792 (talk)  04:20, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

text: You're changing your story now, trying to deny that you were previously pushing for the song to called a Michael-only song, when it's a Wham! song. Why don't you cite some sources when you put forward one of your arguments? You'll get nowhere until you show that WP:Reliable sources are representing the song a certain way.

thread_title:  Careless Whisper was originally a solo song, here are the facts 

message: Spanish crooner recorded a cover of Careless Whisper in his 2006 album Romantic Classics. This should be incluye in the cover section of the article as he is one of the best selling artists of all time. 176.83.32.33 (talk) 18:18, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
