I was just wondering why the article was shortened so much. The previous version seemed perfectly fine to me and suddenly it became a stub. If there's a good reason for why it was shortened, I'll leave it alone. If no one responds in the next little while, I'm reverting it back to the old version. - User:BNLfan53, May 18, 18:35 UTC

[edit] Lyrics copyvio

This song is presumably still under copyright, so the lyrics are a copyright violation if we print them here. — Amcaja 09:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Good work! Note to anyone looking for the lyrics, and who sings what verse, - don't even think of looking at the archived version. Repeat - don't even think of looking at that[1] version.Ratestep 17:06, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Do They Know It's the Fourth of July?"

Under "Other versions and parodies", I think we should add one parody of the title of this song from Grand Theft Auto:Vice City on the VCPR radio station. Maurice (the host) refers to a song called "Do They Know It's the Fourth of July?". If someone could clarify this for me and add it into the article, it would be appreciated.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TVAllstars.jpg

Image:TVAllstars.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.

[edit] Release date?

The lead and the infoboxes say November 29, 1984, but the rest of the text says December 3rd -- anyone with a reference for the correct date? Thanks! — Catherine\talk 20:50, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Dec 3rd is correct. If it had been released on Nov 29th it would have entered the chart w/e 8th Dec rather than 15th Dec. MFlet1 (talk) 12:16, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
