Fair use rationale for Image:Big Girls Don't Cry.jpg

Image:Big Girls Don't Cry.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. 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 01:24, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fergie

What about a passing mention of the Fergie song by the same name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.111.31.119 (talk) 01:55, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doo-wop?

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame website does not clearly state whether or not "Big Girls Don't Cry" is a doo-wop song. And plus, it isn't a reliable source; some of their "facts" are just plain wrong. The Four Seasons were never a doo-wop group, and therefore none of the songs they recorded are styled as doo-wop. And I have another message for User:BrightRoundCircle: QUIT stalking me and scrutinizing my edits!!!!! Classicalfan626 (talk) 13:03, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't stalking you; I checked your recent contributions to see if you'd replied to me on some other page, and found that yet again you removed a reliable source with an improper reason. If the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame isn't a reliable source regarding genres of rock music, what is? Additionally, the claim that "Big Girls Don't Cry" is a doo-wop song appears in many other sources: Encyclopedia of Music in the 20th Century by Lol Henderson (p. 224), The Beatles' Second Album by Dave Marsh (p. 87), Music USA: The Rough Guide by Richie Unterberger (p. 25), and dozens more reliable sources. In short cite your claim because all the provided sources negate your claim. For me as a bystander, your repeated removal of sourced information looks like vandalism.

Liar! How could you have noticed that I deleted those references without looking that deeply into it? Yes, the song may have traces of doo-wop encrypted into it, but that doesn't mean it's a doo-wop song. Compared to many other songs of the era, songs that are actually doo-wop, the song does not sound like a doo-wop song by any stretch of the imagination. If there is some definitive proof that the song is doo-wop, I suggest you cite sources more directly and be more specific, or you can continue looking like a jerk.
