Covers[edit]

This song seems to be a large target for unsubstantiated additions of covers. While I'm sure many bands have covered this song, (although Guns 'n Roses have not,) please at least slap a quick proof on the talk page.

If you read it carefully you will see the words "mislabeled" which means that i know Guns N' Roses have not covered the song, just that in P2P programs they say so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.7.101.48 (talk) 19:59, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While I agree your wording was correct, you're basically saying "Fact A is not true" That's like me going to a page on any other song, and writing "Band X have not covered this song." While I personally wish people using P2P programs could get it right, I can't police them. And it shouldn't affect a legitimate list of covers.

In which Brett Michaels' intelligence is questioned[edit]

i thought he bought that song from some guy, but i saw that he said he wrote it. i don't beleive he is that smart —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.194.137.193 (talk) 03:45, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He did buy it from some guy, I met the man. I do not remember his name, but do remember he was in a wheelchair. He had proof that the song was his, after I didn't believe him. 2603:3004:9:3300:805C:9244:F931:97EA (talk) 16:25, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

File:Miley-Cyrus-Every-Rose-Has-Its-Torn-FanMade1.png Nominated for speedy Deletion[edit]

An image used in this article, File:Miley-Cyrus-Every-Rose-Has-Its-Torn-FanMade1.png, has been nominated for speedy deletion at Wikimedia Commons for the following reason: Copyright violations

What should I do?

Speedy deletions at commons tend to take longer than they do on Wikipedia, so there is no rush to respond. If you feel the deletion can be contested then please do so (commons:COM:SPEEDY has further information). Otherwise consider finding a replacement image before deletion occurs.

A further notification will be placed when/if the image is deleted. This notification is provided by a Bot, currently under trial --CommonsNotificationBot (talk) 12:31, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violation[edit]

The section "Background and writing" is copy-pasted from a 2014 article on teamrock.com The non-encyclopedic phrase "an exotic dancer, natch" kinda gave it away.12.181.196.66 (talk) 15:18, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed Thank you very much. Happy editing, - Mlpearc (open channel) 15:32, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Every Rose Has Its Thorn[edit]

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 Every Rose Has Its Thorn'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.

Reference named "yearend":

From Look Away: "1999: The Year in Music". Billboard. 111 (52). Nielsen Business Media, Inc.: YE-42 25 December 1999. ISSN 0006-2510.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 06:42, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
