Talk:I Want Candy

Fair use rationale for Image:Mel C - IWC UK CD.jpg
Image:Mel C - IWC UK CD.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 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 22:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Bouncing Souls
You could also mention that the band Bouncing Souls (you have article about them) also did a cover of this song. It's published in their first studio album. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.185.118.182 (talk) 22:16, 8 March 2009

Westlife??
In the Covers section, tacked onto the end of the Good Charlotte sentence is this: "', Westlife did a cover in 2000 for their mothersday album.'" I can't find anything about this recording, or even about this Mother's Day album. Is this for real? Even if it is, the writing needs to be cleaned up. - Blueguy 65.0.200.209 (talk) 07:30, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Additional citations
Why and where does this article need additional citations for verification? What references does it need and how should they be added? Hyacinth (talk) 22:48, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Fair use of notable cover version single covers
Since the images, File:Mel C - IWC UK CD.jpg, File:Iwantcandy-bwwcd1.jpg, File:Iwantcandy-aaroncd1.jpg and File:I Want Candy (Candygirls album).jpg have been removed by one editor citing WP:NFCC and reverted by three other editors also citing WP:NFCC, I am starting a discussion here so that the images is not deleted simply for being orphaned.

The single covers for the Bow Wow Wow, Aaron Carter, Candy Girls and Mealine C cover versions pass the points of WP:NFCC. WP:NFCC is met because the single covers is used for identification its respective versions and The Strangeloves single cover cannot convey equivalent significant information and/or identification of the cover versions. WP:NFCC is met because the single covers are used for identification and the images increas readers' understanding and not having them would be detrimental to the understanding of the cover versions. The single covers passes the first example of acceptable use of fair images at WP:NFCI: "Cover art: Cover art from various items, for visual identification only in the context of critical commentary of that item (not for identification without critical commentary)."

The current consensus for single covers in section infoboxes to represent notable cover versions are that they pass WP:NFCC and WP:NFCI. Since WP:SONGCOVER says notable cover versions should be covered in the article about the song and not have its own article, but if they had their own articles, the images would be acceptable there, so they are acceptable in the sections of the song article. The single covers are not alternate covers for The Strangeloves cover, it is the primary cover for the cover versions and should be treated as such. If it is felt that the images should still be removed than the images should be taken to Files for deletion instead of simply removed from the article. Aspects (talk) 18:30, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - they are single art covers for notable cover versions and they are placed at the top of their respective infoboxes.--SuperHotWiki (talk) 00:42, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
