I would like to open the new page Dajana Roncione, but I cannot, because this Dajana Roncione is already a redirecting of the page Thom Yorke.
The reason is that, perhaps, that Dajana is the wife of Thom. But I don't think this "commercial redirecting" is correct; so I can open the page only with Dajana Roncione (actress). This can be a diplomatic solution, but I don't find correct to redirect a name with another name.
Thank you

This doesn't make much sense to me. What a "typical" Radiohead song isn't clear, and most Radiohead songs do not start this way. What a "sketch" is is also not clear. I think this should be rewritten or removed altogether. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Healpa12 ( talk • contribs) 07:19, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
A Radiohead song is usually written in three stages. First, Yorke comes up with a rough sketch; then Jonny, who studied classical composition in school, fleshes out the harmony; finally, the others digest it for a while, working out their parts on their own. It can be months, even years, before a song comes together in a way that satisfies all of them.
I see, I originally took the statement to be talking about the way a finished Radiohead song sounds, not the process through which they are created. Healpa12 ( talk) 23:20, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
Fair point, thanks for the feedback. I’ve tweaked it. Popcornfud ( talk) 14:55, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi Popcornfud, can you please explain why Thom’s support for Extinction Rebellion has nothing to do with climate change in your eyes? This is the edit in question: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1057014305 I have the impression that Thom is very concerned about the climate catastrophe and for that reason selected the movement as beneficiary.

Adding this quote in green at the end of this sentence: Seeing Siouxsie Sioux in concert at the Apollo in 1985 inspired him to become a performer: "I'd never seen anyone manage to captivate an audience like she did... It was an amazing show" basing on these two sources [1], seems to highly annoy a super fan Popcornfud who has put their stamp on this article. Primary sources are perfectly acceptable and reliable to submit a quote in a biography when a footnote with the entire quote is included in the source. Iennes ( talk) 22:49, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Q: Do you remember thinking I could see myself.. [Thom:]I didn't really think that until I saw Siouxsie and the Banshees at the Apollo [...] That one completely blew my mind [...]I'd never seen anyone manage to captivate an audience like she did. [...] They were amazing to watch. [...] It was an amazing show.
