Letter to America page lists inclusion in soundtrack of 'the committments'. This page doesn't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.119.236.134 (talk) 01:21, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

SNP & Political Messages?
I think we need some citation for the comments about the SNP and the supposed political messages in songs. Whichever way I turn it, I can't transform "Letter From America" into support for the socialist independence party in Scotland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamezcd (talk • contribs) 19:53, 29 July 2006

Fair use rationale for Image:Proclaimers sunshine on leith.jpg
Image:Proclaimers sunshine on leith.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. 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 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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

They're nice
This may not be entirely encyclopedic, but I've met them once as a dispensable student reporter and they were both really friendly. Maikel (talk) 10:15, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Who's Hannah Austin?
Sorry if I'm being dense here, but "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" has become a major Scottish anthem, played at Scottish national football matches, Scottish pubs, and other traditional Scottish events across the world. Inspired by Hannah Austin. I don't know who Hannah Austin is or what she has to do with the song. Can someone who does know add this information to the article (preferably with verifiable sources)?

Ken Braw music
Hello, user:kenbraw. You have repeatedly tried to delete content from the Proclaimers article, but give no reasons for why this content should be deleted, and you have a clear conflict of interest (see WP:COI - but thanks for declaring your vested interest). If the content is factually incorrect, perhaps you can explain why, and give sources, here? This would allow other Wikipedians to evaluate the facts and form a consensus on what should be included in the article. And it would be more constructive than repeated reversion of edits, which can be regarded as WP:Edit_warring. Best wishes. Paul W (talk) 07:25, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned references in The Proclaimers
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of The Proclaimers's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "herald": From Caird Hall:

 From Let's Hear It for the Dogs:  From Hampden Park:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 00:08, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

'The Proclaimers consistently tour the world'

Picture
Why on earth is this image unlabeled? 216.164.249.213 (talk) 20:59, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Origin of the name
I can't find an explanation in the article of how they came up with the name Proclaimers. If it's located somewhere deep in the article, it should be relocated to its chronological place in History; if it's not anywhere in the article, it should be added. Thanks. —38.49.92.241 (talk) 19:06, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
