Fair use rationale for Image:Saddam1.jpg

Image:Saddam1.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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Bad link

Hi guys,

The link to "stick it to the man" should go to the video game, but instead goes somewhere else unrelated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.183.100.27 (talk) 13:33, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Citations Needed

Where even is the reference that says it was written as a warning against taking LSD? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.5.183 (talk) 03:39, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Indeed, the original source didn't show that it was the songwriter's intent to warn against LSD. After some research I found the source that seems to be at the root of this claim, a book which quotes Mickey explaining his intent about the song. So I changed the reference to it in the article for now. However, the source is from a book published at AuthorHouse, which according to wikipedia is a self publishing company and usually doesn't meet the verifiability requirements of wikipedia. Should that part simply be removed? Guillaume.web (talk) 00:30, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Covers tidy up, and a heads up about "Otherness"

I have made an attempt to tidy up covers, chrono and then alphabetical order. No value judgments on worth of cover. Perhaps someone could find dates for the non-dated entries and place them in order. Why chrono? I would argue that previous versions may influence future versions (both positively, "I like that", and negatively, "no, not like that"), and it shows periods of popularity, the ebb and flow of a songs status.

"Otherness": wikipedia is dominated by US individual editors (in the main, computer nerds), if a musician/group is not a commercial success in the US, then it needs a label. This is particularly so with groups outside of USA, and to a lesser extent Britain. So a group is labelled "Norwegian", "German", &c. But a US group is rarely labelled "US". The "Other" gets marked, is distinguished, the "non-Other" is normalised. Why should groups from outside the US receive "special treatment"? Why not be consistent, geographically label all groups, or none. Brunswicknic (talk) 12:12, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Similarity to Elvis's 'Let Yourself Go'

It seems so obvious when you compare these songs. Why isn't it mentioned in the article? 95.90.236.154 (talk) 22:49, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

• I've replied here: Talk:Let Yourself Go (Elvis Presley song)#Similarity to Mickey Newbury's 'Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)'.
  Even if it's obvious, we can't add it without a reliable, published source. (It has to be obvious for someone qualified enough to have his opinion published in a magazine or some other reliable source of information.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:11, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
