[edit] Hoax?

hoax? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wetman (talk • contribs) 06:27, 21 October 2003 (UTC).

As to what? Oh, and by the way, there's a contradiction on the Vincent Ford section. Natty Dread says that V. Ford was a distinct person from Marley, but this article says that Ford and Marley were one and the same. Which is which?--64.231.211.45 03:00, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The correct title of this song is No Woman, No Cry, with a comma. That's how it is spelled on the back cover and in the liner notes of the album Natty Dread where this song first appeared, and it is also spelled with a comma on other Bob Marley albums that this song has appeared on (the Live! album is an example). —Teklund 17:09, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

I don't know how to move this myself, as I can't overwrite the No Woman, No Cry page.

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 23:22, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Haiti?

The Fugees lyrics refer to locations such as Brooklyn and Jersey. I'm guessing they refer to New York and New Jersey rather than Haite. Pretzelpaws 00:08, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

yeah i heard that version recently, they changed a lot of the lyrics from the Bob Marley one. Instead of Trenchtown (the place where reggae was born) in the Bob marley one for example they say Trenton a city in NJ.. or at least thats what i thought until reading the lyrics O-o EDIT nevermind it is Trenchtown.. but still the first verse is not in the original Marley song --insertwackynamehere 03:31, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sublime cover?

Where has it been confirmed that Sublime never covered this song? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DougJI (talk • contribs) 07:31, 8 August 2006 (UTC).

I searched for about an hour and was not able to find anything that either said definitively that they did or did not cover the song. -pmtc59 21:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Apparently, according to a comment on this page, the "No Woman, No Cry" cover often attributed to Sublime is actually by Murder One. --Ezeu 06:50, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marley and Fugees in the same article

Shouldn't the Single from the Fugees be on a separate article than that for the single from Bob Marley, the original composer of the song. If someone else feels the same way, please tell me and we can make that change. Also, I have the complete and accurate lyrics for the live version if you feel that those would contribute to the article as well.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pmtc59 (talk • contribs) 21:17, 14 August 2006 (UTC).

Usually, the cover version of a song is mentionened in the same article as the original song, unless there is substantially more information than merely mentioning that it is a cover. The article can be expanded, with subsections for the specific cover versions if there is information of interest about that particular version. Regarding lyrics, if you have the website where the lyrics are, link to it. Do not put lyrics here as that would violate Wikipedia's copyright policy. --Ezeu 06:45, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:No Woman No Cry.jpg

Image:No Woman No 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 15:50, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citation woes

I was wondering how much trouble it would be to cite where different folk have covered this song. It would prevent somebody from adding Helen Reddy or some other such nonsense. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 06:54, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tila Taquila?

Can someone please get this off of here. Bob Marley is legendary while Tila is not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.255.96.190 (talk) 23:51, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
