Hi Guy – appreciate your comments on my edits to The Guess Who. I wonder, though, what to call the current band other than a cover band, as the musicians have no connection to the original The Guess Who, other than having been hired by an original member to perform The Guess Who music, often without any original members participating. Thoughts? PSPazW (talk) 21:23, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

If I can make an observation, Hayman's "Cohen on the Telephone" was not the first record to sell a million copies. That was Enrico Caruso's "Vesti la giubba", first released in 1903.<ref name="The Book of Golden Discs">{{cite book | first= Joseph | last= Murrells | year= 1978 | title= The Book of Golden Discs | edition= 2nd | publisher= Barrie and Jenkins Ltd | location= London | page= 9 | isbn= 0-214-20512-6 | url-access= registration | url= https://archive.org/details/bookofgoldendisc00murr/page/9}}</ref> Hayman's 1914 recording did sell a million copies and was the first 'million selling comedy dialogue disc', selling over two million copies in the U.S. alone. (Same source as above, but on page 10 on the book). Hayman's was seemingly the sixth million selling disc. Pedantic, but what else can a man with a book do !? – Derek R Bullamore (talk) 22:49, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

I wanted to ask about Wikipedia publishing companies. Would you have some information about these? Is this something which can be asked on this forum? Hopefully it is ok to ask this question. 141.154.53.27 (talk) 03:05, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
I am asking a favour again. There have been a couple of single edit IPs who have, without any supporting evidence of course, added that Martinez died on 11 February 2024. I have reverted both, but have begun to wonder whether it may well be true. Martinez is 76 years old after all. Try as I might I can not find anything of proof on the net. He is/was an Englishman, albeit of Moroccan descent, and I am assuming he died in the UK - but you know the problerms inherent in assuming anything. Can Detective Hamilton work his magic ? Thanks. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 14:45, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
I had quite forgotten about this case, but recently stumbled upon the article's talk page and noticed my comments posted in November 2023. I do think that the article should quote 1901 as her YOB as, at the very least, a more "viable alternative" (or some such wording). Would you care to revisit this one please ? Thanks, - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 21:30, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Here is an interesting thing - well, vaguely interesting, but you will see what I mean. We have no death date for this lady, who wrote the well-covered song, "Rolling Log Blues". One of those who recorded that number was Buffy Sainte-Marie, and it appeared on her 1966 album, Little Wheel Spin and Spin. Here are the credit notes which AllMusic supply for the album and look who is credited with "Choir/Chorus, Vocals, Vocals (Background)". Either this a very, very early sampling effect, or AllMusic have it wrong (the mistake, if that is what is, is also in the the Wikipedia article for that album), or Lottie was alive and well in 1966. What do you think ?? Derek R Bullamore (talk) 12:44, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
I believe you were the person who added a reference from Roy Hudd's book about pantomime. It seems extraordinarily unlikely that he played principal boy in pantomime. If that is what Roy Hudd said, could you add a quotation to your reference, please? Chemical Engineer (talk) 21:09, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
