Under the "Related" section, should there be anything about 'Sing Happy Birthday to the Queen', which gathered a fair amount of media attention at the time, but was a massive flop? Or is it not really notable? Sir Magnus has spoken! (So can you!) 16:01, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For how long?

For how long is the applause meant to last? Or to be more specific: are there any reliable sources for this? MrStoofer (talk) 19:05, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weasel words

The practice has been criticised by some political commentators and medical workers as an empty gesture these are weasel words and need to be clarified by "who"? Name names, name titles, name orgs. "In the cited source" isn't good enough, put them up front for the reader to see. Elizium23 (talk) 23:48, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some sources - take your pick. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]... etc. Saying "some" is, in this case, sufficient, and naming particular individuals who have criticised the practice is unnecessary. Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:45, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
