Talk:Richard James Burgess

Conflict of Interest template
This article was created by and most of its contents have been added by a single-purpose account User:Myuzo. Due to the tone of the article, in November 2010 I added a conflict of interest template to the article and also informed User:Myuzo on his talk page of my suspicions; and since that date User:Myuzo has neither edited the article nor replied to my comments. Although quite a few Wikipedia users have subsequently edited the article, the article remains essentially as User:Myuzo created it.

The conflict of interest template exists to explain to the reader that the article may not meet Wikipedia's standards, and encourage editors to improve the article. The template should only be removed when the article has been improved/a concensus has been reached that the article meets Neutral point of view. User:Burpelson AFB's edit summaries that "I'm not seeing any sign somone with COI has edited recently" or that the template is "ugly" do not justify removal of the template. memphisto 08:51, 27 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Agreed that the template should remain until the number of cited assertions exceeds the number of links quickly dumped into the Refs section. Mr. Burgess' extensive and very notable accomplishments are readily backed up by verifiable sources. If someone's in a rush they could get busy turning those uncited Refs into citations... then there'd be nothing left to question. Except stuff like the only X-link (now gone) pointing to a number of Burgess' books for sale. Twang (talk) 08:42, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Facts please not claims
More than once the wording of editor Hiddenstranger has been reverted in this Burgess entry. He is NOT "known" to have coined the term New Romantics. The claim has merely been "reported". As the Guardian citation clearly shows, this claim is "attributed" to him by writer Mark Hooper and yet his own text offers no supporting evidence. A subeditor has made an absolute claim in the headings to this article, again without any supporting evidence. None of the five citations attached to this sentence in Wikipedia offers an ounce of evidence. I invite Hiddenstranger to produce and cite published evidence of his interpretation. At least five other people are "reported" to have coined the term New Romantics. 217.155.200.241 (talk) 22:57, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
