Labyrinth

Is it really correct to say he "appeared" in the movie Labyrinth, when he was actually voice talent for two of the "Fiery" muppets?--H-ko 17:25, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As he played two of the Fiery Gang, he presumably sang on the track "Chilly Down", which would merit mention under Dance and Song --82.6.93.196 (talk) 11:52, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BLP issues

He is also an English criminal put the Wiki admin police won't let you say this and won't engage in any discussion - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.129.35 (talk) 09:37, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just try and follow some of your own rules!!...Semi-protection and protection

Administrators who suspect malicious or biased editing, or who have reason to believe that violating material may be re-added, may protect or semi-protect the page after removing the disputed material. It is generally more desirable in the medium and long term to obtain compliance with this policy by editors, in order that the article may be kept open for editing wherever possible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.129.35 (talk) 09:45, 20 November 2008 (UTC) [reply]

"Generally more desirable..." speaks for itself, really. In this case, you and other anon editors (or perhaps the same person under different IPs) are insistant on labelling John-Jules as an established British criminal, when he clearly isn't. Per WP:BLP and WP:UNDUE, this clearly isn't acceptable. You could have discussed your position on this talk page, but you chose not to and to carry on reverting (a policy which, when dealing with suspected BLP issues, is acceptable, but not the other way around). As a result, I have had to semi-protect this page. Whilst the protection is in place, fancy discussing the situation here? _Talk Islander 11:06, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just a point on this. Where does it say 'ESTABLISHED' criminal. The category is English criminals not established English criminals. The category already holds many entries for those with only one offence?--86.153.185.147 (talk) 12:49, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Grooverider just one offence - come on one rule for all!--86.153.185.147 (talk) 12:53, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bingo - in wording my WP:CFD for British Criminals, I found this:Wikipedia:Categorization of people, specifically: "For example, Category:Criminals should only be added if the incident is relevant to the person's notability". Case closed - please stop re-adding the category. _Talk Islander 21:24, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DJ work

The information about John-Jules being a DJ should be removed or a citation found. Also, the style of wiriting should be changed to be be more encyclopeadic. The "It's also a little known fact..." doesn't fit the format. 80.249.48.108 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:00, 7 April 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Website

His official web address was incorrect, it pointed to a 'this domain is for sale' page. So I changed it to: http://dannyjohnjules.co.uk/

Which is correct. Go me. What a contribution to the world I have just made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.168.46.69 (talk) 21:38, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Baritone?

Article says he's a baritone, but he is clearly not singing baritone in "Tongue Tied". I also heard him sing live at a sci-fi convention back in 1997 and he wasn't sounding a baritone then, either. Do we have a source for this? I'd place him a tenor, myself. 70.72.211.35 (talk) 17:10, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bins

The edit here removes his criminal prosecution and later acquittal with the edit summary "an acquittal certifies that the accused is free from the charge of an offense, as far as the criminal law is concerned." This seems fair comment, as per BLP. Except that, from John-Jules' own point of view, perhaps this was not an incident that should be "brushed under the carpet"? It was an example of "Racist Britain", which he even compared to the Stephen Lawrence case. Then problem is that the source for the acquittal and John-Jukes' reaction is the Daily Star. If there were any more reliable sources, I would be tempted to restore it. Any thoughts? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:43, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
