There is a problem with redirects. "The Belmonts" are to be separate from "Dion and the Belmonts". George Slivinsky 00:38, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The graph for hits looks fine but I'd like the chart positions to be specific to the song title. Maybe a separate line for each title, with a slash, within each box. George Slivinsky 07:41, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Dionbelmonts.jpg

Image:Dionbelmonts.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 Wikipedia articles 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 Wikipedia: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.

The Day The Music Died

This page only describes Dion's story of who was chosen to ride on the fateful 1959 plane crash with Buddy Holly, which is not the story most accepted by historians, or virtually anyone else. Waylon Jennings, in this interview stated in 1987 that it was he & Tommy Allsup who were given the seats by Buddy initally, and that Waylon willingly gave his seat to the ailing Big Bopper & that Allsup flipped Valens for his seat, and virtually every account of this story echoes his claim, which is exactly as presented in the 1978 Buddy Holly Story movie. Dion is never mentioned as being a recipient of a plane seat. I can't find a credible source OTHER than Dion himself that says Dion's account is factual, and the earliest referemnce I can find of is his own 1988 book, appx 30 years after the incident. I propose that the article be edited to account for this lack of 3rd party sourcing & also list the accepted account of what happened. Just because this is an article about Dion & The Belmonts doesn't mean that only Dion's POV should be listed especially since virtually the entire planet (outside of Dion's fans) says Dion's account is not true.

Dion 1963

Mention the 63 Columbia disc by Dion, '"Be careful of stones You throw." Minor c&w hit too. Featured on AB and Buddy Deane shows. Very nice tune. Like Ray Charles. Not mentioned. 2601:145:8003:2930:F57A:4BA2:A238:F2A (talk) 23:13, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's a matter for the article on his solo career, not this article. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:53, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
