Fair use rationale for Image:Palmerirres.jpg
Image:Palmerirres.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 05:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Models
It says, "The video featured the leading supermodels and leading dancers that he met while visiting the Kentucky Derby...” Who is “he”? Nicmart (talk) 23:18, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Misreading Traut
While this claim isn't exactly wrong it does misrepresent the cited source. Traut identified one or more of seven syncopation accent patterns in each of 150+ songs, then attempted to correlate accent patterns with "hooks". He finds a " " pattern in 32 songs, including "My Sharona" ("My-My-My-My-ah-woo!") and "Simply Irresistible" ("initiated by the drum solo ... immediately after the line, ‘But now I find her ...'") in which the pattern "create[s] a significant gesture just prior to the chorus."

However, in "Simply Irresistible" the " " pattern contributes a "secondary" hook: "[I]t seems plausible that two hooks are at work here. The song’s title [ ] is memorable with or without the drum passage [ ] ...". Furthermore, Traut finds the same " " pattern in hooks of The Knack's Cheap Trick's Dream Police and Hall & Oates' Did It in a Minute. He also finds the " " pattern in riffs, but not in riffs of either "Sharona" or "Irresistible". (At least, he doesn't include them as examples.)

In other words, I believe that revision misrepresents its cited source to make a melodic or lyrical association of "Sharona" with "Irresistible" by calling it something else. Yappy2bhere (talk) 06:33, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
