NPOV tag[edit]

This entire article is obviously copied from a Claudja Barry press release. -- eo 01:02, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted to the revision before 24.99.9.99 (talk · contribs)'s edit, which removed everything (including things like categories) and replaced by a unwikified lump of text. If desired, 24.99.9.99's changes can be added back later, using the current version as a base. Have a nice day. --cesarb 01:11, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moved comment[edit]

The following paragraph was place in the article, I have moved it here and will leave the editor a note (John User:Jwy talk) 17:39, 25 February 2007 (UTC):[reply]

I recall hearing Boogie Wooie Dancin' Shoes" on casey cason American Top 40 (Billboard Magazine). I believe the information may and should actually be #37 not #56. Please check records. Also, it seems to me that Ms. Berry had several Dance/Disco songs that reached #1 on those charts and considered (pre-Donna Summer) would be queen of disco. Clearly, we know no one touches Ms. Sommer. Please disregard if my facts are incorrect; as well as an email so as not to unknowingly putting out wrong info. Thank You.

Fact section cleanup[edit]

This section is similar to a trivia section - I would suggest either incorporating the facts elsewhere and/or creating a new paragraph here rather than bullets. (John User:Jwy talk) 02:13, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced material[edit]

The following is unsourced information:

Claudja Barry was a one time member of the Pop and Disco group, Boney M in 1975. After learning she would only be lip-synching songs on stage instead of actually singing live in concert, she abruptly quit and went about starting her solo career.
Claudja Barry is a member of the Caribbean Hall of Fame.
Barry has been nominated nine times for a Juno Award, which is the Canadian equalivent of the Grammys.
Barry won a Juno Award for Most Promising Female Vocalist of the Year in 1979.

While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article.
