Per Wikipedia's policy, WP:SYN, combining material from multiple sources to say something none of them say individually is synthesis. We do NOT have a source stating that criticS said anything. Instead, you are taking various individual reviews (let's call them "A" and "B") and combining them to say something new ("C"). This is the A + B = C. Yes, the guideline you are about to cite says to "summarize". Pick the most recent movie you've seen and tell me the plot in five or six sentences. Congratulations, you've just summarized the plot, consistent with both the policy and the guideline. Now read three or five or ten reviews and tell me what "critics" thought of the film. Yes, you summarized, but you also synthesized. You didn't run astray of the guideline, but ignored the policy.
Does "loud, tacky and ridiculous" = a "positive review"? What are your metrics for "positive"? What is your problem with "general acclaim" that isn't triggered by "positive reviews"? - SummerPhDv2.005:56, 17 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
We can tweak the verbiage, maybe say "mostly positive reviews". Because thats what the section currently entails regarding all the sources present. What you are doing is simply ignoring the critical reception section from the WP:LEAD itself. —IB[ Poke ]06:06, 17 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
What I am asking you to do is to follow Wikipedia's policy and not combine material from two or more sources to say something new that none of the sources say individually.
I contend that people generally don't care that much about what critics think of a single. "Should I invest 3 minutes and 5 seconds in listening to a new song? Gosh, let me spend time reading what critics think of it first," said no one ever. The relative lack of reviews for individual songs points to this. Yes, there are some, but they aren't generally filling up the prime space on the pages of Rolling Stone and editors here are often pulling material from articles on the whole album. Metacritic and the like don't report on singles at all, resulting in the situation we have here: We can't simply quote a review aggregator when review aggregators are mute. So editors begin to synthesize. Imagining that they are doing a service by following a guideline, they ignore a policy. - SummerPhDv2.012:02, 17 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
I added one tag indicating that there was an issue. I am sorry to have irritated you. If you feel that adding one tag is disruptive behavior, I simply cannot agree. - SummerPhDv2.017:17, 17 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

As I worked or socialised (from 1994 until it closed in 2004) - in the Atlantic Bar & Grill & in particular Dicks Bar I recognise that most of this video was filmed there & the adjoining Hotel which was “The Regent Palace” I’m not too sure where Claridges fits in here?
