There are several CD's of interviews with John Foxx about his music career. Some of the info in this Wikipedia article comes from those interviews, but since they haven't been transcribed (and if they were it would probably be illegal to publish them on the Web) how can proper citations be provided?? 82.46.181.249 ( talk) 17:36, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
The second paragraph of the Departure from Ultravox section probably goes too much into the post-Foxx Ultravox. This material should be in the Ultravox article, if it isn't already. 207.172.87.49 05:34, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Image:John Foxx.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 this Wikipedia article 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. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
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 06:48, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I've been delving into information about Shifting City in order to add an article about the album, but stumbled on an interesting dilemma: there does not seem to be a certainty on when the album was released. This article lists its release date as 1997 (the same date of course going for Cathedral Oceans), as does Foxx's official website. Yet in both the Shifting City & Cathedral Oceans CD's they're marked as copyright (and whatever that P symbol stands for) 1995 Metamatic Records. The Discogs discography lists both as being released in 1995, while Allmusic quotes 1995 in the review but 1997 in the release details. So what? When? Huh? — Kjet ( talk · contribs) 13:02, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
The albums were released in 1997. I'd been waiting for them for some time; I believe they were recorded in 1995. I don't know what caused the delay. 82.46.181.249 ( talk) 17:30, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Any reason why the Metamatic Records article has been redirected to the John Foxx article? Metamatic Records also has the artist Louis Gordon. I feel the record label with the releases should have a seperate article.--

I began to trust the astrology web date.
1. In an October 2008 interview, he declared his age, 61. (put in the References section)
2. In the 1977 swedish interview, i think he said "30" "almost", and it was (i think) in prior to the release of the Ha! Ha! Ha! album (October 1977). He was talking about Eno, in other words about the Ultravox! debut album. (put in the References section)
3. The astrology page, indicated other true birthdates, like of
Pete Shelley,
Midge Ure and
Gary Numan.
4. In his youth he was a mod and a hippy (according to the The Golden Section Tour + The Omnidelic Exotour booklet). In 1947
Marc Bolan (another from-mod-to-hippie guy) also was born.

I have removed 2,000+ bytes worth of unsourced, opinionated text out of the article, and tidied up formatting, information flow and regularised the referencing format. It is still short of a decent article. The external links section needs a reappraisal, the discography is way too detailed and therefore almost unreadable, and there are a number of paragraphs without any references. Be bold by all means, but please do not add your own opinion and/or elements of fancruft/trivia/hearsay.
Verifiable sources from third parties are also still in the minority of the overall reference count.
