Orphaned non-free media (File:Cover of "Muse - The 2nd Law".jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Cover of "Muse - The 2nd Law".jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:21, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Auld Lang Syne

Hi. I've removed your addition to Auld Lang Syne about a song called Jipy Jay because it appears to be original research, which Wikipedia does not permit, and is uncited. Before adding it again could you provide a source that connects it to Auld Lang Syne, either by explaining it is the same song, a translation, or bears musical similarities. Otherwise it appears that the connection between the two is just your personal opinion. Thanks. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 21:18, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. The difference I see with what you are adding, and the other mentions of international versions, is that your addition is saying that what appears to be a completely different song resembles Auld Lang Syne. The other mentions list definite versions of the same song/tune.

Whether a song resembles another is very much an opinion, so we'd normally prefer it to be the opinion of a reliable source, not just that of a Wikipedia contributor. This is what I mean by it appearing to be original research. Where did you hear about this similarity? I found a YouTube video with the song and didn't notice any obvious similarity. But then I don't know Spanish, am not an expert on music, and my opinion is equally irrelevant. I did find some places mentioning both together from a Google search, but mostly in Spanish, so again I'm not the best person to determine what they say and whether they are reliable sources. (Please note that blogs, twitter, Facebook page, forums etc are generally not considered reliable sources.)

So what you need is somewhere that the resemblance has been noted, preferable by some kind of musical authority or recognised commentator. That would be a reliable source that could be cited. If you could do that it would be perfect for inclusion. Thanks. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 14:15, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Looks good. See guidance on foreign language sources here. Your cite should look like;
