Fair use rationale for Image:Tell Him.gif
editImage:Tell Him.gif 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.
Tell Her a cover version?
editAs stated, the first recordings of this song were those which were Tell Her ones. So telling Dean Parrish and Kenny Loggins covered this song by changing the text to Tell Her may probably be a false claim, unless it has been proven they changed more to the text than the gender exposed in the title and chorus, and/or melody line, compared to the original version.
As the song originally was written as Tell Her, the Tell Him-versions seem to me the cover versions.
This song should imho prompt lesbian and gay artists to perform the song in a preferred homosexual context. 83.85.143.141 (talk) 19:26, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Glee Version
editYesterday I added the Glee (TV Show) cover of this song and referenced it. It was removed, presumably under the policy "Not significant / relevant". This seems highly arbitrary. It was viewed by 2.8 million people, was released as a single and has millions of views on Youtube. It was a full-length song and introduced many viewers to the song for the first time. Moreover, Glee covers are regularly referenced on Wikipedia song pages. I would like this reference reverted and/or like a better rationale for why it should not be listed, when more obscure covers are. 110.133.94.93 (talk) 06:42, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
