Untitled[edit]

This page seems to have been modified several times to add "humourous" but inaccurate material about the singer, mocking his weight. Several edits today have cleared that, but it bears watching.

Needs more "due to"

Nice picture. I think his mouth is pretty.

The picture has been modified and not noted as such. Surely this is potentially libelous and inaccurate. 81.79.101.93 13:05, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

His mouth has been flipped upside down. Someone needs to put a different picture up.

That pic is just hilarious.

Rik is so cool that it makes me cry sometimes. Then I cop on and laugh at him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.190.147.178 (talk) 14:52, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism[edit]

This page is regularly vandalised. While these additions are often funny, they are not helpful, and are sometimes rather offensive. Paddy 10:30, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rik?[edit]

Was he actually christened Rik? 77.99.57.229 (talk) 22:50, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pending changes[edit]

This article is one of a small number (about 100) selected for the first week of the trial of the Wikipedia:Pending Changes system on the English language Wikipedia. All the articles listed at Wikipedia:Pending changes/Queue are being considered for level 1 pending changes protection.

The following request appears on that page:

Many of the articles were selected semi-automatically from a list of indefinitely semi-protected articles.
Please confirm that the protection level appears to be still warranted, and consider unprotecting instead, before applying pending changes protection to the article.

However with only a few hours to go, comments have only been made on two of the pages.

Please update the page as appropriate.

Note that I am not involved in this project any more than any other editor, just posting these notes since it is quite a big change, potentially.

Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 20:23, 15 June 2010 (UTC).[reply]

I'd like to change his name to "Richard 'Rik' Waller" to help stop the confusion. My source is, he lives in my town and I know him personally.

Not done: Sorry, but the source needs to be verifiable. Thanks, Celestra (talk) 00:24, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He's known as Richard on Facebook, if that changes anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.218.154.37 (talk) 11:26, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request for removal of Wikipedia page[edit]

I am Rik Waller, the person who this page is about, and I am fed up with seeing the abuse that happens on this page, not that I ever look at it personally, but people always message me to say that it has been maliciously edited. I have tried to edit this page myself previously, to correct the inaccurate or malicious content, but was told that I didn't have the right to do so, even though I am the person it concerns. This page is used for nothing other than a place to mock and bully me, and I think I deserve to live my life without this constant abuse, seeing that I have been out of the music business, and the public eye in general for the last 12 years.

Please just allow me to get on with my life.

Richard 'Rik' Waller. RichardJamesWaller (talk) 18:52, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
