Reggie Bush?

Should the song also give Reggie Bush credit for sing part of it? --DJ Bilodeau 12:00 PM, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Like-a-Boy.jpg

Image:Like-a-Boy.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 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.

Genre

I oppose the insertion that this song is a classical song. It is stated in the article it is classically influenced, this does NOT make it classical. For instance, if you write a pop song with words influenced by a death metal song, does that make the pop song a death metal song too? No. Anyways, a new editor insists on being uncivil and pushing his point in to the article, even though they have already broke WP:3RR, a consensus should be drawn. Spigot Map 21:22, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If a song is pop and death metal, then it is pop/death metal. How do you think the term pop/rock came about? Same applies here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moonraka (talk • contribs) 21:45, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source of Ciara saying this is a classical song? Influenced and actual classical are two different things. You need to start reading up on policy before you get yourself blocked for being disruptive. Spigot Map 21:48, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's a difference between being disruptive, and you disagreeing with me.

No you are being disruptive by continually reverting. That is called being disruptive. Spigot Map 21:50, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And you're reverting just as much because you disagree with the song's genre

No, you have broken WP:3RR, I have not. And sign your comments. Spigot Map 21:52, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now explain how this song is classical and why you are continually reverting a bold change? Spigot Map 21:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
