Talk:John Farnham

message: * Discography - DVDs; compilations he has contributed to; EPs? (I'm thinking nah)
* Awards received...give the guy his props
* Should be a section about his acting/musical career
I cut this information because I couldn't verify it anywhere - are they CDs, tours, or what?
====1988==== 
* Jack's Back - The Live Comeback
====1989==== 
*John Farnham & The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra - Classic Jack
====1990==== 
* Soul Deep (Jimmy Barnes)
==== 2003==== 
* Under The Big Top (Live from The Last Time Tour)
*Live Anthems
Man, this still needs so much work... I have left comments in the tables, that you will see if you edit the page, about some of the things I'm not sure about (like if an album is actually a covers album - if so, should say so).

message: Someone who knows about John may wish to edit the article Long Way To The Top, and get it included in this discography. Also, I'd love to read about the relationship between Farnham and the AC/DC song "Long way to the top". -- Mikeblas 22:18, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

message: This article is not too bad, but to improve it it would be better if specific facts were referenced to specific sources. --Robert Merkel 11:46, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I've removed the horse farm link. Many months ago, the article mentioned John's involvement in the farm -- but that text is gone. I don't think the link belongs here unless the article discusses the subject. (And at the target webiste, I don't find mention of John's involvement.) -- Mikeblas 15:41, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is there no mention of his having been kidnapped?  JackofOz 04:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I can't.  It may just be an urban legend, but I swear I read some years ago that, during his early career he had been kidnapped for ransom.  His family and the police chose not to make it public it at the time, and he was released unharmed.  I have no idea whether any money changed hands, or what happened to the kidnappers.  The incident was revealed in a later biography but by that stage it was no longer big news.  Google seems to have nothing about this.  Was I dreaming?  --  JackofOz 01:52, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Kidnapping

message: The opening paragraph should explain something about who or what John Farnham is.  Instead, it links to  "Olivia Newton-John, Kylie Minogue, Savage Garden, or The Seekers".  That's just plain weird.  --24.82.167.107 20:19, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  opening paragraph is just weird

message: I thought Delta Goodrem's Innocent Eyes beat the record set by Whispering Jack for the most weeks at Number 1. 144.53.251.2 01:41, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, because Whispering Jack was much longer on the charts than is written here. My cousin in Perth, sent me the album, because she was tired of it, and mentioned that it was number 1 for a year...I of course, loved it, and still play it. I am looking for the Australian chats that show this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.174.157.126 (talk) 07:33, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

message: You guys need to get his DOB right. Is it 1950 or 1949?!?! 1 whole year. Thats a big difference for someone his age.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.62.243 (talk) 06:17, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The 'Awards and nominations' part should be moved to a new page I reckon, or at least significantly shortened.  I dunno, my two cents really. Michaelterren (talk) 08:39, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Are these really worth noting?  It's my opinion they should be deleted, and I'm going to do that if nobody raises any issues with that. I've also deleted a couple of talk comments that don't meet the guidelines (one from somebody inviting John Farnham to stay at their house, and one saying that Toby Hayward is a genius) Owheelj (talk) 04:52, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

message: There are currently 12 "associated acts" listed in the infobox on this page, and that is only because I removed five mis-formatted ones. Per the infobox's documentation, associated acts for an individual should include "groups of which he or she has been a member". I would suggest that the various solo artists Farnham has recorded or toured with should be treated in the article text but not listed in the infobox. Cnilep (talk) 04:57, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Associated acts 

message: There are three ref tags on the page (i.e., parts of citations) that appear to be broken. I don't know enough about how to fix them so I won't monkey around with them (I did fix one invalid tag, but these ones are more complicated). Could somebody please fix them; I'm watching this page and will learn from how it is done. Thanks! David Cannon (talk) 12:04, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Is there a better way we could handle the mention of Stuart Fraser's involvement with Farnham's career - particularly in the header? The way that it's handled now ends the header with the sentence: "He died on 1 December 2019." This is an unfortunate way to end the header of a page about a completely different person (Farnham); it can imply that Farnham himself is dead.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.112.161 (talk) 06:01, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
