'Its not a song'

[edit]

Why title it as a song when its a comedy skit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.114.149.250 (talk) 05:14, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

'Best selling single of all time'

[edit]

It is highly likely this claim is incorrect. The only source cited is an interview with the artist from 2012 that is written by his biographer. 'Australiana' does not appear anywhere in this list, either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_singles_in_Australia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Temet2323 (talkcontribs) 04:08, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:V and WP:RS work both ways: claims need to be supported, and when they are, Wikipedia cites them. OTOH, the list of best-selling singles in Australia is flawed – see its talk page. "ARIA Charts Throwback: 11 September 1983" at the ARIA website confirms the record number of weeks as #1 on the charts, but says nothing about sales records – so it doesn't contradict Fitzgerald, and that claim is widely supported elsewhere. It's generally not up to editors to evaluate the credibility of sources, Wikipedia just cites them. Please restore the sourced content that you removed. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:13, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
