[edit] Gay Icon Project

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:10, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] TV career

Over 30 years of TV is covered in little more than a couple of short paragraphs, I've added the 'expand' tag One Night In Hackney 14:00, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Preposterous claims

"It's particularly worthy to note that Cilla had two consecutive #1 hits in 1964, arguably the most competitive year ever in UK pop history when Beatlemania ruled the waves and to make the Top 40 meant you had to be selling 100,000 records a day!!"

100,000 records a day to reach the top 40? Come on.....

This is actually not preposterous but a widly published fact. Link to BBC reference provided. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.2.129.64 (talk) 08:14, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

The BBC may have said it but it's still utter rubbish. For the claim to be true, ALL Top 20 hits would have sold over 700,000 units every week throughout the decade. In reality, between 1960 and 1970, only 14 singles managed to sell over 1 million units in the UK in total (i.e. after the sales across many weeks had been added together). http://www.theofficialcharts.com/stats-million_sellers.php

The BBC claim is highly misleading so I've removed the offending paragraph from the main article. David T Tokyo (talk) 04:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Films

She appeared and starred in a number of films in the 60's and 70' which are not mentioned at all. I remember seeing one which was set during the 70's which was seminal, where she was a girlfriend of a man who worked in a power station who grew magic mushrooms and whos aim was to make everybody happy. They end up taking the mushrooms and stopping the power for the whole city the station supplies. I think the film was called Work Is A Four-Letter Word around 1968. Her's a link. http://www.thevideobeat.com/store/beatnik-hippie-drug-movies/work-four-letter-word-1968.html

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cilla Black album cover.jpg

Image:Cilla Black album cover.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 Wikipedia: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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
