"Articles connected with musician and writer Julian Cope" includes this one (and is perfectly standard). However it is not a matter of paramount importance. Occuli (talk) 12:55, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Politics
I understand that "The Story of the Blues" is supposed to about Margaret Thatcher / The Conservative Party... a small mention of this would seem appropriate: perhaps in a separate article on the song? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.163.155.242 (talk) 21:30, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Another Wah!
It appears there is another band called Wah!, maybe a disambiguation page is required to prevent confusing them? 82.34.211.50 (talk) 13:22, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Documenting the Supposed Melody Maker Source
The ostensibly most credible documentation here that the term "rockism" can be traced to Wylie--a supposed statement in Melody Maker--is actually not backed up by the footnote at the end of that sentence (which does not lead to an article in or about Melody Maker, and which presumably is meant only to document other assertions of the sentence in question). Is there definite evidence that Wylie coined it, or should the assertion be removed? (A 2006 article in the Guardian, cited in the Rockism article on Wikipedia, refers to Wylie's use of the term but does not seem to document, or even assert, that he was necessarily the first.)

 * Since you wrote that comment, the footnote has been deleted. I've now removed the entire claim: it can go back in if someone can source it. I've also edited the page for rockism and poptimism to reflect the uncertainty regarding this ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 13:31, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Come Back - citation needed
There is a citation needed flag at the end of the second paragraph of the Wah! section. This refers to John Peel declaring the song to be single of the year. There is a YouTube clip of a TOTP rundown with Peely describing the song as "record of the year" - about 12-15 seconds in (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx-o_zNyXIo). This would seem to meet the need for a citation, but my very basic Wikipedia editing skills are well below what seems to be required to sort this out. Trying to understand what to do from the Wikipedia help pages is a truly bewildering experience, and quite possibly a reason why editors like me never progress to more useful work than typos and grammar. Anyone out there who could help out ? Helwith boy (talk) 20:12, 15 September 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helwith boy (talk • contribs) 20:10, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
