Talk:Live to Tell

Genre Classification
This song is not at all a pop song and is instead an adult contemporary song. Which is why it was number one on the adult contemporary charts and if anything is more of a rock song than pop considering the heavy use of the guitar used guitar used.(98.181.61.49 (talk) 03:37, 31 May 2012 (UTC))

Germany vs West Germany
Regarding your recent changes, wasn't the Federal Republic of Germany known as "West Germany" in 1986 (when "Live to Tell" peaked on the German charts)? Using West Germany for chart peaks prior to October 3, 1990 seems to be the consensus at Template:Single chart. Hoof Hearted (talk) 15:44, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Smash Hits review reverted
re your revert and comment - yes it is a Flickr photo but it's taken from Like Punk Never Happened, a carefully scanned and compiled archive of Smash Hits magazine, an authoritative pop music and pop culture publication of the time which ran for many years, therefore a useful and trusted 'historic' document. I have referred to the same publication/archive on several Wiki pages in the past without problems. Please consider re-establishing my edit. --Metamatica (talk) 09:49, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * No sorry, someone scanning and uploading images from a copyrighted magazine on a popular image sharing website → WP:COPYVIO. Your additions should be reverted from other pages as well. — IB [ Poke ] 09:53, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Use of brief quotation in line with Non-free_content --Metamatica (talk) 12:38, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You have completely misunderstood the NFCC and applying it incorrectly in your edit. Let me explain, you added a scanned image of a copyrighted magazine for which the person who scanned it is not the owner and has not right to upload it as a scan. There in lies the copyright violation of the flickr image you used as a source. — IB [ Poke ] 15:30, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
