Great work on Mungo Jerry! I'm glad to see such an extensive article on this band that hardly anyone seems to know about. Good job. Dwain 20:13, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree! Mungo Jerry is awesome =)

Love. Suz, NL - May 7, 06.

There seems to be a bit of an editing war between 1946 and 1945 for Ray Dorset's birth year. My extensive research does favour the latter, but has someone got more substantial evidence ?

googling him has revealed that his birthday is March 21, 1946. user:roxysmashsir43

Sure, it's extensive, but it's littered with personal opinion too - and that just devalues it. A shame really, because for a band most people would only remember from the early 70's there's a lot of information here.David T Tokyo 17:37, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've just gone and fixed some of the more obvious vandalism on this page, but there's plenty more I've not been able to figure out. Under current members, it previously mentioned an Alan Johnson, but that appears to be a PR person according to [[1]]. I'm not sure there are any permanent members any more. I'm also a little dubious of the last album apparently released - I couldn't find any reference to it online (but then I couldn't find any reference to the previous album either, except for on the official site). There's doubtless further acts of vandalism here, but I don't have the time (or particular inclination) to go through validating everything on this page - but I thought I'd raise my suspicions. 92.10.194.8 (talk) 00:46, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article is obviously written by professional reps of the group. It's not an encyclopedia article, it's a promo piece. Way too much information about a very minor and inconsequential band.74.196.214.250 (talk) 00:32, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nonesense?

No chart hit has had more than 13 words in the title, so "You Don't Have to Be in the Army to Fight in the War" gave Mungo Jerry another hit.

This sentence doesn't make any sense! It seems to be saying that this record was a hit BECAUSE it has 13 words in the title! 208.81.28.204 (talk) 19:26, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it does not read correctly. I suspect it did at sometime in the past, but subsequent re-editing may have introduced the illogical statement. Be bold and re-edit the sentence would be my advice. Whilst on this point though, the statement in the first part of the sentence, really does need a source. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 21:15, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Long John Baldry

The text suggests that he/they performed with Long John Baldry in 2006. However, according to the article on Long John Baldry, he died in 2005. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 621PWC (talk • contribs) 17:48, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Former bassist John Godfrey has reportedly died

At least according to the band's twitter feed[2] which is linked from their webpage.[3] However, this was only a retweet,[4] so it's thin sourcing. -- Kendrick7^talk 00:44, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Opening sentence

"Mungo Jerry are a British rock group" - I think that should be "Mungo Jerry is a British rock group". Are represents a plural of something, but a represents the singular form. The sentence mixes grammatical number. A group is a single entity, comprising a plurality of elements. A group is a singular noun. "The Grateful Dead is an American rock group...", "The Boy Scouts is an international group..." etc. "Before you are a group of apples" is wrong. That should be "Before you is a group of apples." giggle (talk) 15:51, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Gregory.george.lewis: This is a variation between British and American English; see here. Karst (talk) 16:03, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pointless Byron Contostavlos link

This link simply brings us back to the very same article, and tells us nothing more about Byron Contostavlos - so we can keep going round in circles forever!85.0.29.130 (talk) 20:47, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
