'Related'
editUnder 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)
For how long?
editFor 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)
Weasel words
editThe 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)

- This English language page is for the English event, the other two are for other countries. So not sure if they should be linked. Probably best to ask on Wikidata, as the way to link together would be to merge on Wikidata. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:53, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
"Clap for Our Carers" edit
edit(Moved here from my talkpage. -- DeFacto (talk). 12:47, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
[DeFacto] reverted my edit mentioning a "Slow Clap" organised by Unison in response to the 1% payrise for NHS staff, for reason of being of "serious NPOV issues". If that's really the case, then how can you explain "Boo for Boris" staying in the article then? Would that not be a NPOV issue also, or have I misunderstood? Although, maybe I would've brought it up in the article's Talk page before I added it in. Bryn89 (talk) 12:35, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Bryn89, per my edit summary, I think it's outside the scope of this article anyway, so the NPOV issues are moot. -- DeFacto (talk). 12:52, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- I actually came to this article looking for something on this. I cannot see that it falls outside the remit of this article subject (which references both it's origins in similar European activities, and includes a "Related" subsection of it's own successors).
- As for being a NPOV, I don't see an issue with the original edit. The current article is good and includes an arguably less neutral example under the "Related" section (Boo for Boris)
- Cymrogogoch (talk) 06:18, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- I think we need to decide whether to ditch all the Related section, or keep it. Because like a lot of Related sections of articles, it's getting pretty bloated. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:00, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
Boo for Boris?
editIs it worth adding a section on the Boo for Boris protest that was directly influenced by this? A bit smaller but was still notable in our area 81.109.218.211 (talk) 21:05, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
