NPOV

This article is hugely biased. I will add the tag.--BenjMartin 21:31, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tag added. Here are the parts I have a problem with: "have earned her well deserved comparisons", "One of the incredible things about this singer is her ability to capture an audience", "Her dedicated fanbase is something many of her rival folk artists would give their right hands for", "The Broken Bridge is a wonderful resource for any new fans of Cara's music.", "It has been her most accomplished work to date", "which was well received on the dance floors", "Cara is set to take the BBC Radio 2 Cambridge Folk Festival by storm this summer where she performs with a host of the world's best folk artists with a highly commended 7 piece band." --BenjMartin 21:53, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Necessary changes have been made to satisfy these complaints. Therefore, it would be appropriate to remove the Neutrality tag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Donald of glencoe (talk • contribs) 13:38, 17 July 17 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Sotrb2006.jpg

Image:Sotrb2006.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Black is the Colour

This may be a silly question, but why does her version of Black is the Colour refer to a Woman instead of a Man? She says "her lips are..." etc. I thought she might have been a lesbian, but apparently she is married to a man... so who is she talking about? -- Borb (talk) 17:54, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The original version is female-addressed, therefore she just didn't change the lyrics as other female performers have, preferring instead to preserve the original lyrics. copana2002 (talk) 2:28, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Why would you assume that a woman singing to a woman must be a lesbian? Singers just sing songs, there isn't always a 'someone' behind the song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.188.208.251 (talk) 15:25, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Derry / Londonderry

For the avoidance of doubt, and to prevent an edit war, 'County Londonderry' is used in this article in accordance with Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Ireland-related articles). Please be advised that edits should conform to this voluntary agreement which demonstrates a neutral point of view.--John Gibbard (talk) 19:05, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would be much more appropriate to use the term which the artist themselves would use. If a musician is "Irish", Derry should be used, if they are anything else or "Northern Irish", "Londonderry" should be used. I find that quite effective.--86.167.198.43 (talk) 02:24, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the above (IP)--Theosony (talk) 01:13, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In this instance the artist was born in Dungiven and is therefore Northern Irish, ergo - and once again this is in accordance with an agreed standard from Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Ireland-related articles) - Londonderry is used throughout.--John Gibbard (talk) 12:14, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

County Londonderry

See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Ireland-related_articles#Derry/Londonderry - "Use Derry for the city and County Londonderry for the county in articles. Do not deviate from this merely because the subject relates to a particular side of the political divide". Alekksandr (talk) 21:14, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 8 June 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Change “County Londonderry” to “Derry” as that’s how she refers to it on her own website: https://www.caradillon.co.uk/

Change “Northern Irish” to “Irish” as anyone born on the island of Ireland is Irish and considering she is a Catholic who sings traditional Irish music she would identify as Irish which is recognised as in the Good Friday Agreement 84.203.92.185 (talk) 17:53, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
