I think the Superinjunction that was lifted by Clarkson should be mentioned - information surplus to this can be gained from this short video: https://youtube.com/8mxylHly7hQ of it being mentioned on the BBC Programme Have I Got News For You. Euanjamie (talk) 15:12, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We don't generally use YouTube as a source for this kind of thing. And the link you have provided doesn't work. If you can find one or more reliable sources, then it could be added. You'll need to suggest the wording you want to be added. But the article already says this (fully sourced):

"In September 2010 Clarkson was granted a privacy injunction against his first wife to prevent her from publishing claims that their sexual relationship continued after his second marriage (see AMM v HXW). He voluntarily lifted the injunction in October 2011, commenting that: "Injunctions don’t work. You take out an injunction against somebody or some organisation and immediately news of that injunction and the people involved and the story behind the injunction is in a legal-free world on Twitter and the Internet. It’s pointless."

if this is what you are referring to. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:44, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Already done As per above, request is already in the article. requester hasn't returned to respond with clarification. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:02, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Playing cards

The Times: Jeremy Clarkson "Ties? Rubbers? Five equals 11? Learning to play bridge left me vulnerable to a large glass of red". I would like to put it in - ok? --SkatPi (talk) 16:43, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's a bit WP:NOTNEWS because it doesn't seem to add very much to a reader's knowledge of Clarkson.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 16:47, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Change the link attached to the word 'original' seen here; " "Help for Heroes official site". Helpforheroes.org.uk. Archived from the original on 31 December 2010.

Where does Clarkson appear at the Help for Heroes website page? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:55, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: It's not clear why this needs to be changed. I would be willing to change the source for this statement to an independent source, however. Bradv🍁 05:56, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

TFI Friday

In the presenter section, it says that he has hosted TFI Friday. But he has not hosted it ever. So, I think that should be removed based on that fact. 78.148.236.61 (talk) 22:36, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
