Hey, my wife read in I think it was Women's Weekly that he has a very tidy bedroom. What do you reckon? Shall we add it in? It's verifiable. Dr Zen 08:29, 17 November 2004 (UTC)
OF course his bedroom is tidy, he never spends time at his house! He always is somewhere else e.g. recording things in studio, appearances on television and ceremonies like the Dolly Teen Choice Awards, writing songs overseas, touring the nation, et cetera... thats a useless piece of information Wiki doesn't need... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.177.78.154 ( talk) 08:23, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
does anyone know whether it is true or not that Julia Gillard once told the House Of Rep.'s to vote for Anthony (when Australian Idol was running) because he lived in her electorate? I heard this somewhere but I can't remember where. Can anyone verify this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.50.80.247 ( talk) 03:17, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, that's good, I just added a ton of crap to improve some stuff, most notably added pages for both of Anth's released albums...if it seems a little n00bish I'm new to wiki, so yea...-- SilverNightFire 03:36, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Can we come to a consensus about whether we should include the "rumours" that he is gay? It's been changed constantly the last few days, deleted, then added, then deleted, depending on the user's own views. I thought the previous section titled "Personal Life" was appropriate and didn't actually SAY he was gay, just the fact that he was allegedly outed. Any opinions about whether the section should be included? (I vote yes) Benjitan 15:39, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
I do and exclude it I Vote NO and anyway you don't own this domain or this profile. It has nothing to do with his career and achievements. I doesn't belong here, gutter press at its best. dwally 16th March 2007 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwally ( talk • contribs) 15:28, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Why don't you include every media article on Anthony then?? and not just what you percieve to be of interest. It has nothing to do with anything. This profile, is about Anthony's achievements.No relevence whatso-ever. It may have been sourced but I would hardly call Sydney Confidential the most reliable source of information and the whole issue is about a Traffic Reporter gossiping on a Radio programme where he was there just to do the traffic. User:Dwally — Preceding undated comment added 12:46, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Anthony has enough talk and speculation on the WWW about his without it being on here as well. As, has been said it is unsubstantiated gossip and Anthony has said he wants to keep his private life separate from his work life. Don't see any sense on putting gossip on a profile. refer Marks comments below dwally — Preceding undated comment added 15:26, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Twice today I have removed gay-related categories from this article. If this trend continues, I will semi-protect this article.
The grand sum of all the sources relating to Callea's sexuality amounts to speculation, and no solid proof. Whilst by all means we can report on the speculation, to take that one step further and say that Callea is gay is wrong. Here is a quote from the guidelines on categorisation of people:
My reading of that is that such categories should not be used if such sexuality is equivocal. Because Callea says he is not gay, we should not say he is. - Mark 14:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
I agree Mark and am wondering, while it keeps being added, about the 'revert' rules. This was not widespread 'news' but appeared in some states only. It's unsubstantiated gossip and not relevant to his career or work. That certain elements of the press discuss people in the public eye in this way is not a reason or justification. Saying that it will 'potentially damage his career' is a value judgement I disagree with. If it were true, then all the more reason not to print it. Print details about his career and recent performances rather than meaningless unsubstantiated speculation by someone who's basically little known and who should have been talking about the traffic.( Darllenwr 16:42, 17 March 2007 (UTC))
I've added a "controversy" section that I hope presents the information in an NPOV way. I agree that the categories should stay off. -- SatyrTN ( talk | contribs) 15:21, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
I have semi-protected this article as a result of the continuing blanking of the controversy section by anonymous contributors. - Mark 01:24, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Thankyou for that, some people have nothing better to do. dwally — Preceding undated comment added 02:54, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Image:Anthonycallea anewchapter.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 20:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
This article has gotten a bit out of hand with both slavish un-encyclopedic language and obsessive attention to fan trivia. I deleted the "Career Highlights" section tonight, as it represented both trivia and a list of performances with no sources suggesting that Callea regards these as his career highlights. I also did some slashing throughout the tour and concert sections, as several parts seemed to be nothing more than lists of people he had worked with, effectively hijacking this page for their own promotion. -- Lenky ( talk) 13:13, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
In 2010, this article still has a lot of information put here with no citations to support that this information is true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.78.9.131 ( talk) 23:25, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
I was just watching a repeat of Popstars (aired early hours on Wednesday 21 May 2008 on channel 7 in Sydney) and it featured an audition of Anthony Calea. I think this may have been from the 2002 series, but not sure (no copyright date given during the credits). Does anyone know any details on this? How far did he go in this show? Which Popstars series was it? Should there be a reference to this in the main article? Cheers Mark in oz ( talk) 16:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Mark_in_Oz

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Anthony Callea's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "news":
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 03:30, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
Does the article really need "a complete discography of every album and single released by Australian pop music artist Anthony Callea." when the article verges on this anyway? This likely exists on the fansite/own website/Fox in any case. Am asking in the interests of doubling-up problem when it's all in the body copy (not to mention scroll-hogging verbiage).
Also with respect, the article reads like a past CV so have made efforts to prose-modify "list" mode & to date the wording. Style-note: much overweening emphasis on the man's achievements can have the opposite of impressing. Manytexts ( talk) 00:13, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
