Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, (Don't Fear) The Reaper, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please review WP:SONGCOVER as well. DonIago (talk) 14:38, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

 * As noted, please read WP:SONGCOVER. You need a source that discusses this cover in some detail, not merely evidence that it exists. Also, it appears that you're editing while logged out; might want to fix that! DonIago (talk) 15:39, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I linked the wiki page of the album the cover is on in my message. I was pretty sure I made an account to edit. I'm not someone who edits wiki pages in my free time. I saw the list of covers. noticed it left out a cover of the song so I tried to add it with the little knowledge I have about formatting or what the proper sourcing should look like. if you guys want to leave out things from the wiki page that's on you. might want to fix that! 2600:1014:B027:FE7B:0:52:1A53:8A01 (talk) 15:53, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
 * You don't seem to have read, or possibly didn't understand, WP:SONGCOVER, and your response didn't acknowledge the point I made in my prior comment that the point isn't to list every cover of the song that might exist, but rather to focus on significant ones. As I also don't appreciate what seems to be a snarky comment at the end of your response, especially considering I was making a good-faith effort to help you, I intend this to be my last comment on the matter. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 16:36, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

cover
shoot my bad, my apologies for being rude + also I didn't know they had to be significant, thought it was a list! Drpeppperdevil (talk) 16:50, 24 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Wikipedia generally doesn't do exhaustive lists of things, as discussed at WP:INDISCRIMINATE. With regards to song covers and "in popular culture" items in particular, there's specific guidelines regarding what makes a cover song or an IPC item significant enough to merit inclusion, and usually that significance is best demonstrated via a secondary source. I hope this helps! DonIago (talk) 17:33, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
