Talk:Ghostbusters (song)

Fair use rationale for Image:Rasmus-Peep.jpg
Image:Rasmus-Peep.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 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.

no controversies/other information?
In 2001 there was a suit about breach of confidentiality related to the song: http://www.mtv.com/news/1442126/ray-parker-jr-suing-huey-lewis-over-ghostbusters-comment/ and in 2013 he sued over lost royalties: http://www.digitalspy.com/music/news/a520088/ray-parker-jr-suing-over-ghostbusters-royalties.html#~oRLgn7mS6BB1re shouldn't this stuff be included?

Other Versions
other versions of this song by other artists have also been important, I don't understand why that information was removed, and I think that it should be added again. Biruxx (talk) 01:20, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
 * WP:COVERSONG: "When a song has renditions (recorded or performed) by more than one artist, discussion of a particular artist's rendition should be included in the song's article (never in a separate article), but only if at least one of the following applies:
 * the rendition is discussed by a reliable source on the subject of the song,
 * the rendition itself meets the notability requirement at WP:NSONGS." - Sum mer PhD v2.0 01:36, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

RIAA certification entry
How do I update the RIAA database link for the song's certification figures? The link that's currently referenced doesn't work, as it comes back with no search results.

This link, however, works as intended: https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&ar=&ti=Ghostbusters&lab=&genre=&format=Single&date_option=release&from=&to=&award=&type=&category=&adv=SEARCH#search_section — Preceding unsigned comment added by MikeK102 (talk • contribs) 07:38, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
