Fair use rationale for Image:Ronan-shebelievesinme.jpg

Image:Ronan-shebelievesinme.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 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. 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 07:28, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Steve Gibb

"The song was written by Steve Gibb (but not Steve Gibb,)" Does this mean the song was written by someone called Steve Gibb, but not that Steve Gibb (the son of a Bee Gee)? I think it's a pretty confusing statement, and should be re-worded if my interpretation is correct. Could someone verify please? leevclarke (talk) 04:03, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did Steve Gibb release this first?

Wikipedia has an article on Cover versions. Based on that, and the info in this article, Kenny Rogers' better known version of this song is a cover.

Or is it? Discogs has Gibbs' album with this song, Let My Song which was released on 1979. You can see (p)1979 on the cover art. The article also shows the Rogers version released in 1979, but that was the single, taken from The Gambler (album) released the year before in 1978. Those albums show (p)1978 so legally, the Rogers version came first.

Have I missed something? If not, I'd like to correct the record here and show the Rogers recording as the first one.

Looking closer at the Discogs record, Gibbs released it as [a single], and these are released as (p)1978. It's curious, that particular one also says "From the album Let My Song" while the album itself says (p)1979.

Still, it's muddied the waters enough that perhaps Gibbs version was first. I've left the article as is. SheamusPatt (talk) 13:50, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
