‘Clean’ from addiction

[edit]

The word clean is not used anymore to describe someone who is drug free, as it suggests that drug addiction (and the addict themselves) is dirty. In substance misuse we simply use abstinent from drugs (or in this case, drugs and alcohol). Or sober would work for both too. 86.22.150.89 (talk) 21:30, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

A reference included in the section § 1962–1969: Pub pianist to staff songwriter cites a Late Show segment entitled 'Elton John Takes Stephen Through His Entire Catalogue.' All the details of the reference are correct (date, timestamp, and relevance to the article material it supports), but both the original and archived links erroneously point to an unrelated segment on The Late Late Show with James Corden. The links should be corrected to point to the correct YouTube video instead. Thank you. 104.246.217.149 (talk) 10:17, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Link now corrected, but not yet archived. Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:27, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He’s English, change it. 2601:183:4C02:AD50:3068:F1E7:2785:6F67 (talk) 13:03, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

He's also British. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:06, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not true, but it could be if that at birth he did receive British citizenship, but not English. 2603:8001:8001:F591:ADCF:6B8C:6BBF:8779 (talk) 14:44, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes folks, it's WP:UKNATIONALS time once again. Personally, I think that articles should prefer British, as this is the official nationality involved.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 16:40, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you could explain how it's possible that John is not British? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:46, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
as User:Ianmacm said, British is the official nationality of John. 2603:8001:8001:F591:4597:EA1C:820E:F07B (talk) 04:12, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
