BLP Issues

I've removed a large amount of text in this edit, on blp grounds. The section had an "unreferenced" tag in place for over two years, and was "cited" to what appears to be a fan-created site. – OhioStandard (talk) 19:26, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Abortion issue?

There are claims on the web that the song refers to one of the four abortions Nicks admitted having. The alleged claims point to lines, such as, "Stay with me awhile" and "And now it's gone," et al. as "proof", while, other lines make that assertion nonsensical: "When you build your house, call me" (i.e., how can an aborted child build a house, much less call anyone?), "Ask me and I will be there" (similar to the preceding part), etc. Should such be added to the article as an "Issue" or "Misinterpretation" or, dare I say it, "Rumors"?

The only explanations of the song's meaning that belong in the article really are those of Nicks herself. Anything else is probably not encyclopedic. The song is most likely about Sara Recor anyway. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:56, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Has the abortion story been disproven yet? Billboard has reported on it, although I believe they allegedly got this "information" from some Christian website.Dobbyelf62 (talk) 11:18, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tack piano

Over the past several months, several IP users have removed the tack piano instrument from the Personnel section despite several sources indicating that she has played the instrument. Can one of these IP users explain why they keep reverting this information?^[1]^[2]^[3]
