 * Comment - In this case, I believe the request should have been, "please add:
 * Devries is currently in a relationship with fellow singer Victoria ", with a reliable, secondary source, like a newspaper or magazine article, to meet notability guidelines for content.


 * Although I see a cute youtube video, I am not finding a reliable, secondary source to establish notability for this information.— CaroleHenson &thinsp; (talk) 22:36, 25 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Are you sure Hollie birks (talk) 18:07, 11 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Are you saying that there are articles that discuss his relationship?–CaroleHenson (talk) 19:12, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Bambinos are Russian dolls. Their fans are called Bames. c: — Preceding unsigned comment added by ParisSkylarxxcx (talk • contribs) 13:56, 2 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment - I have seen many sources that have called their female fans Bambinos - and there is now a citation for that information.— CaroleHenson &thinsp; (talk) 22:37, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

After having watched many times the YouTube video of the first audition of Bars and Melody on Britain's Got Talent, I would like to add just a small comment on the text of the present Wiki. Indeed, the public started to chant after the song ended. On the basis of an article in the press, it is stated in the present Wiki that the public was chanting "Push the Gold". However, in my headphones I do clearly hear "Bullies out, bullies out" just until Simon Cowell pushes the Golden Button. My question to you: please do listen again (and again) to the sound track of this particular YouTube video and, if need arises, do correct the Wiki text. Thank you for taking notice, and kind regards, Yours

 * I would say I quite clearly heard "push the gold" - this is supported by the gestures of the audience and what the hosts said. There are also some (probably not so reliable) source supporting this: . Cheers, — Taq Pol talk contrib 19:40, 20 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment. I updated the article, paraphrasing the content from the source, which said that "the crowd chanting for one of the panel to press their golden buzzer... and Simon obliged!"— CaroleHenson &thinsp; (talk) 22:44, 25 February 2017 (UTC)


 * This wasn't the best source, so I removed the part about the chanting.— CaroleHenson &thinsp; (talk) 19:20, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Album "143" - Peak chart positions

Ireland number 11 ( http://www.irish-charts.com/showinterpret.asp?interpret=Bars+and+Melody ) Scotland number 12 ( http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/scottish-albums-chart/20150828/40/ )  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kobryde (talk • contribs) 11:08, 21 October 2015 (UTC)


 * ✅. I am not sure about this source, but if this is not the best. I provided the entry date in a quote within the citation for the 143 album and the Teen Spirit EP if someone knows how to back into the source from the Irish Charts at chart-track.co.uk— CaroleHenson &thinsp; (talk) 23:05, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

Reliable sources
I have worked to try to improve the sources in the article to those that are mainstream news sources, versus tabloid journalism, youtube references, etc. Particularly, all of the Mirror sources have been replaced with regional newspapers. Similarly, most of the uncited content is now cited with mostly regional newspapers.

The sources that remain that may not be reliable or are borderline sources are:
 * Digital Spy - from the article about the media source, it does not seem to be a questionable source, but there are comments in the Reliable Sources Noticeboard that indicate that it may be tabloid journalism, with competitors like BuzzFeed and Mashable - that I would never use as a source. But there are also comments that it does not appear to be a unreliable source.
 * Reveal, was a Nat Mags publication - I cannot find anything about this. The link s in the citation s, and the home page http://www.reveal.co.uk, now route to the main page for Digital Spy. This is an archived home page for Reveal from 2013.
 * TellyMix - There's no article about TellyMix and no postings about it at WP:RSN. I do see that it is used as a source or mentioned in articles, mostly about TV shows, in more than 400 cases
 * youtube - which should not be used as a source - is only used once now to show the count for the number of times the audition has been viewed. Replaced with a Billboard source that said that the video was in the top ten trending videos of 2014
 * I replaced a youtube source/link with this IMVdB source. I am not sure if it's like the IMdB site, though, where content is added by contributors (i.e., making it a non-reliable source). The content does appear to cover the details about the video production team, though. I do see it used in 221 articles.
 * J-14 - I don't see anything on the noticeboard or anything that seems to indicate an issue in the article about the magazine. It's listed as one of the top magazines for teens by Forbes.
 * Irish-Charts - I don't know anything about this site, but there are a number of countries with chart information from here.

If anyone has any feedback about these sources, that would be great!— CaroleHenson &thinsp; (talk) 23:42, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I made some updates above based upon recent changes to the article.— CaroleHenson &thinsp; (talk) 01:11, 26 February 2017 (UTC)


 * I posted a question about these sources at WP:RSN.


 * I will now check around for some reliable national and international news sources, books, etc. using — CaroleHenson &thinsp; (talk)  23:50, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
