Where are the listed sources for those supposed catchphrases ? There are none listed. I'm going to delete them.
Just listen to the podcast, watch his TV shows etc.
"Nyum Nyum Nyum", "Moon on a stick" "...Or is it the businessman in his suit and tie" "...Of course they're all *** by the time I've finished with them" "Fucking idiot(s)" "Bumming!" are all there to see and thus should be on the page.
Surely 'moon on a stick' was a [Lee and Herring] catchphrase, so should be on their page if anywhere. 195.152.249.14 ( talk) 13:05, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
Would his emergency questions from RHLSTP count as catchphrases, eg. "have you ever tried to suck your own cock?" Just a thought. Hwoodie99 ( talk) 10:26, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
Careful note should be paid to Herring's page because Andrew Collins admitted on the Collings and Herrin podcast, that he regularly edits this article, and seems to see himself as some kind of unofficial guardian of it, removing stuff that he deems unfit.
Surely any dispute over the neutrality of the article should be based on the actual information that appears on the page, not what people have said outside of it? I'm sure many pages have people who frequently check up on them and edit them, but that doesn't mean they have NPOV tags on them. The tag should be removed. 80.229.225.16 ( talk) 17:57, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Andrew Collins takes information that IS unfit for the article I.E not true and removes it
I concur. Surely the NPOV issue should be raised based on the article itself, not any what has been said elsewhere. I think the banner should also be removed. -- Philthemancunian ( talk) 07:43, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
I was in a cafe the other day and I heard Stewart Lee saying he was going to vandalise this article. At least, I think it was him, he was certainly squinting a lot. Is there some way we can prevent this senseless feud from causing more damage? 86.149.134.148 ( talk) 10:31, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
LOL the Andrew Collins page is locked for editing. I find that quite funny. 86.135.78.105 ( talk) 20:48, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi can we have a catchphrase section please? :) 86.147.246.173 ( talk) 01:18, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
This somewhat ironic as his nemesis Patrick Marber is a big poker fan. --Magic Pickle
Magic Pickle, do you actually know the meaning of the word nemesis? Not getting at you, just curious. (We'll leave aside that controversial and now largely meaningless word ironic.) Flapdragon 01:29, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
Not really. I'd say it's something like comeuppance or retribution, getting what was coming to you. Herring and Marber may not be friends, but there's nothing to sustain the classical analogy, which I suggest was be mystifying even to those who already knew the background it was trying to hint at. Your latest edit is better, I think, but see if you agree with my attempt to make it still clearer. Flapdragon 14:19, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
-A source of harm or ruin: Uncritical trust is my nemesis. -Retributive justice in its execution or outcome: To follow the proposed course of action is to invite nemesis. -An opponent that cannot be beaten or overcome. -One that inflicts retribution or vengeance. -Nemesis Greek Mythology. The goddess of retributive justice or vengeance. Magic Pickle 13:37, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
This from the article, "He has been described, by the British Theatre Guide, as "one of the leading hidden masters of modern British comedy" reads like pure PR material. The article is all about Herring's successes and there is little or no background material about the man. Which school did he go to, what did his parents do for a living, where did he live as a child etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.187.233.172 ( talk) 13:06, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
The last line of the first paragraph gives the impression that the Collings and Herrin podcast was a Collins led project, like the BBC 6 Music show, when it was actually a collaboration:
The suggested fix for this (inserting "the" before Collings and Herrin Podcast, preferably in a manner that indicates the order of the projects, ie. "most recently the") was repeatedly rejected recently, with no alternative fix proposed. Would somebody with editing privileges and a sense of basic grammar please make an appropriate alternative change? Thanks. 86.177.143.143 ( talk) 01:11, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
If he really went out with Julia Sawalha can we have a reference that isn't literally a joke? It just says he had a shrine to her on a TV show. He also had one to the Corrs, is this meant to be proof of a relationship? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.108.191.84 ( talk) 18:20, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
He did go out with her, but proof is quite difficult to find, other than his own website and podcasts. Hwoodie99 ( talk) 10:23, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
This article can't be edited. I don't have this problem with any other pages. Can somebody fix this please? Thanks. 86.184.8.41 ( talk) 11:21, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Hello! The article can't be edited! Anyone know why?¿ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.238.84.65 ( talk) 13:04, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello, guardians of this page. It's good Wikipedia practice to avoid lists, and there are exhaustive lists of apparently "selected" works on Richard Herring's page. How about we reorganise them into neat and readable tables like this one? I based it on the table at Woody Allen filmography. This example is specifically for his major stand-up shows but we could adapt it for radio work, TV work, books etc. What do people think? Feel free to run with it.

What this article needs is more reviews by independent news media; the Guardian, the BBC, even chortle.co.uk. Anything which cannot be sourced to such real-world sources will have to be removed. -- John ( talk) 12:51, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
A change was made to say that Richard is an English, rather than British comedian. How is this is determined, and what are the past precedents? Gordon ( talk) 07:31, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
No, you very much have that the wrong way round. Majority of articles use English/Scottish/Welsh instead of British UNLESS there is a reference where the subject states they only identify as being British. The fact that anyone would have an issue with Englishman Richard Herring being described as English is certainly interesting though. Skijump777 ( talk) 17:51, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
