Album cover

The album cover of "Parsley..." can't be the right one here, or?Johannes Wich-Schwarz 23:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Homeward Bound was on the original US release of "Parsley...". In the UK and perhaps elsewhere it was added onto "Sounds of Silence", but I would suggest that, unlike with the Beatles, the US editions of S&G albums should be seen as definitive.

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.

London?

The article repeatedly says that Simon was in London, but then says Simon had just performed in Liverpool (a couple of hundred miles away) and the song was written in Widnes (between Liverpool and Manchester). It also says that Simon performed in Brentwood, Essex (again, not in London).

What is the connection to London here? Or should "London, England" just be replaced by "England"? Marchino61 (talk) 10:03, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Widnes Station?

Ditton Station in Widnes is on the Liverpool to London line. The Widnes station in the article is on the Liverpool to Manchester line. If Paul Simon was to catch a train to London, he would have to have certainly been at the correct railway station, Ditton station. I have tried to add this factual information but it has been undone?. Steved1973 (talk) 14:56, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the text to say a station near Widnes. Without a reliable published sourced saying he was at Ditton it is original research and can not be included per WP:NOR and WP:V.Charles (talk) 20:23, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is also under discussion at Talk:Widnes railway station#Paul Simon and Homeward Bound. Please respect WP:MULTI. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:41, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ditton

Are the claims about Ditton cited, or citable? If not, they should be removed. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:07, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
