Wham!
editWhat was Ridgeley's role in Wham!? --Dweller 19:16, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- Um, he was well Guitarist and backing singer really. Peterwill 21:31, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
So how is it that George Michael went on to fame and fortune, while this guy ended up being a Trivial Pursuit question? 66.94.91.58 12:07, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Pseudonyms

Married?
editAs far as I'm aware - Ridgeley has never married Woodward. Further confusion is caused when out of the two references, one says he has and the other says he hasn't. --Tuzapicabit (talk) 17:52, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Proposed Deletion
editI propose deletion of areas of this article that have [citation needed] next to them. Proposed on 24 April 2012; if not challenged, deletion date: 1 May 2012. Jason021388 (talk) 17:13, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
Genres
editThe article currently states in the infobox that AR's genres were new wave and hard rock. Wham weren't a new wave act, they were a pop act pure and simple (though good), and I'm not familiar with AR ever working with hard rock performers. --Ef80 (talk) 18:59, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Questionable sentence
editAside from misspelling Ridgeley's last name, the source cited contains no mention of the information. I'm considering it vandalism.THX1136 (talk) 17:56, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
Leaving Live Aid Party
editI can find no citation for Andrew Ridgeley being asked to leave the official party at the end of Live Aid that isn't tabloid fluff. The article that's currently used as citation is chock-full of inaccuracies. Ridgeley makes no mention of it in his book. The claim seems too dubious to remain in the article. If no better citation is discovered or put forward within the next 4 weeks, I will remove it. AmethystFloris (talk) 11:35, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Convincing argument. It's still there now so I'll delete. Kamatoa (talk) 03:33, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
'Matt Stephens' link
editLast line of Charitable work section - link is to the wrong Matt Stephens - should be to Matt Stephens (cyclist) JRPEM (talk) 21:16, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
