Relationships
Clapton's partner from the late 1960s to 1974 was Alice Ormsby-Gore, a British aristocrat. They were together for three years
- this doesn't make sense. If she was his partner from the late 1960s to 1974, then at an absolute minimum they were together for five years..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:27, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
- That is not accurate either. If they got together in late 1969 and parted in early 1974, that would make just over four years. 2A02:8071:184:4E80:0:0:0:934C (talk) 13:18, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
Category "Christian"
"Many factors had influenced Clapton's comeback, including his "deepening commitment to Christianity", to which he had converted prior to his heroin addiction." Why then in the category bar below there is no "Christian" or "English Christians" or something like that?
I think it should be added (I can't do that since the editing is blocked). 93.159.48.232 (talk) 14:44, 14 September 2025 (UTC)
