File source problem with File:PSSAYM box.gif

Thanks for uploading File:PSSAYM box.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:22, 19 November 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. dave pape (talk) 04:22, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:PSSAYM CD.gif

Thank you for uploading File:PSSAYM CD.gif. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Skier Dude (talk) 08:41, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

You will need to supply a linkable source and suggest a proper license for the image to be restored. If it's promotional material issued with a CD then it clearly is not "fair use" - and image size does not qualify/disqualify an image from the fair use category.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wooly Bully, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mashup (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Staring at the Sun (TV on the Radio song) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

November 2021

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at If 6 Was 9. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

March 2024

This edit summary is totally unacceptable and near getting a block if you do it again. Also, Discogs isn't really a suitable source for Wikipedia, particularly in areas like WP:SONGCOVER. Simply saying "Artists A, B and C released cover versions" and sourcing it to Discogs does not establish notability. ♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 08:15, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

What establishes notability? I've read WP:SONGCOVER, and I couldn't see more nebulousness if I had a professional telescope. "Reliable sources." According to who? Based on what criteria? Eyevocal (talk) 05:36, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Discogs lists everything, but Wikipedia does not. It is a common problem to add obscure cover versions that hardly anyone has heard of, and then say WP:BUTITSTRUE.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 07:56, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Well, now there's also a link to a YouTube video on a channel officially dedicated to the band. Problem solved. Eyevocal (talk) 02:55, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes, but these are not secondary sources. I don't want to go round in circles edit warring on this, but the version of Rock and Roll (Gary Glitter song) by Executive Slacks is a good example of a cover version that fails WP:SONGCOVER guidelines.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 08:23, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Re-read "What establishes notability?" etc. above. You still haven't helped sort anything out there. As far as I can see, you're just basically saying, "Because I said so." Eyevocal (talk) 06:01, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

That isn't true. WP:SONGCOVER says "Merely appearing in an album track listing, a discography, etc., is not sufficient to show that a cover version is noteworthy; cover songs with only these types of sources should not be added to song articles, either as prose or in a list". Here is what secondary sources have to say about the song:

Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL It is very thin stuff, which is why it isn't suitable for inclusion.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 08:07, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
