Say, you don't mind adding an infobox? Joofjoof (talk) 20:44, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting song history, on good sources, books accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Say, you don't mind adding a bit about content and music? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:28, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Say, you don't mind striking the word "apparently" from the hook? It's a little informal, apparently. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 22:35, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Don't know. It says - to me - that it looks like that but could be not so. A matter of caution, - what's informal? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:05, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The "apparently" is needed because the source does not directly state Gunning was £15, but only that Blunstone said he did. So there is not a direct citation, but a third-party one. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 17:32, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
