Talk:Take Me Home (Cher song)

Different Lyrics

Sophie Ellis-Bextor's cover of this song has completely different lyrics than the Cher original. The original lyrics reflect the easy, hedonistic sex commonly associated with late-1970s disco culture; the lyrics of the new version are more traditionally romantic. Scotpens 18:12, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Takemehome.jpg

Image:Takemehome.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Orphaned references in Take Me Home (Cher song)

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 Take Me Home (Cher song)'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.

Note: I will be doing my spot-checking after my first run-through of the article.

General

• 1 disambiguation link to correct.
  • Done. Prism △ 12:13, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
• Can you choose a consistent format for the date in the citations?
  • Done. Prism △ 12:13, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Infobox and introduction

• Can you use {{start date}} for the release date? It should work even if a specific day isn't mentioned.
  • Done. Prism △ 12:13, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
• Which versions are the first two lengths provided for?
  • There are no names for those versions, I refrained from naming them as it would be WP:OR.
• You mention that "take me home" is pretty much asking for sex in the "Background and composition" section; that might be good to note in the introduction.
  • Done. Prism △ 12:13, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
• Maybe instead of commenting specifically on what AllMusic and Billboard thought, you can make a general statement of their overall opinions.
  • Done. Prism △ 12:13, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Background and composition

• Can you clarify that Stars, I'd Rather Believe in You, Cherished and Two the Hard Way are studio albums? I'd also recommend including the years of their releases.
  • Done and done, although I only wrote 1977 once as it is the date for both Cherished and Two the Hard Way.

Release and reception

• There is one instance where "Take Me Home" is not put in quotations, please fix this.
  • Added quotations.
• Can you write out United States instead of abbreviating it as the US? Just so it's clear for everyone.
  • Done.
• You can just say in New Zealand without mentioning Oceania at all.
  • Removed Oceania. Prism △ 12:13, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
• Can you mention its certification in the United States in this section?
  • Just learned how to cite the certification table reference twice, so, done. Prism △ 12:13, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Live performances

• Looks good!

Charts and certifications!

• Looks good!

More to come... WikiRedactor (talk) 23:53, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

• Done what you have pointed out. Prism △ 12:13, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Sophie Ellis-Bextor cover

• You don't need to put "(Cher song)" in the infobox.
  • Fixed.
• Instead of "somewhat", what about using the term "moderately"?
  • Replaced.
• Do you mean "indefinitely"?
  • I removed the adverb completely, as it was really unnecessary.
• The iTunes citation in the track listing is missing iTunes/Apple in the publisher field.
  • Sorry, just added.

The spot-checking went smooth as ever, and after this last set of corrections are addressed, I will be more than happy to pass the article! WikiRedactor (talk) 21:03, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

• I have fixed everything! Prism △ 21:10, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
