[edit] Stub?

A stub? How much more can you say? It's a pop song, for heaven's sake!

[edit] notable cover versions?

Notable Cover Versions

Surely The Four Tops should be listed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.3.206.254 (talk) 22:03, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

that version is mentioned earlier in the article.LiPollis (talk) 04:56, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Photo of Renee?

This blog has a purported photo of Renee: http://minitrue.co.uk/wordpress/smip-8-walk-away-renee-version-by-billy-bragg/398/ Is there anyway it could be used under fair use for this article?LiPollis (talk) 04:56, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Recent major revision of the article

I did a major revision of the article which consisted mostly of re-ordering paragraphs for sense and adding in some citations. I did delete the mention of what appeared to be non-notable cover versions in the opening paragraph. That is because they don't belong there. If indeed, those new versions are notable, they should be added to the notable cover version section. The opening paragraph's should be reserved for information about the actual song, it's creation and it's performance on the charts. If future editors would like to include other cover versions in the article, they can do so under the section entitled: Notable Cover Versions.

[edit] MySpace links in Wikipedia articles

Please people - stop re-inserting links to Myspace and reverting the article back to older, disorganized versions just to include non-notable cover versions. if the cover version is notable enough to be in the article, it belong under the section for notable cover versions and not in the first paragraph. i went to great trouble to re-organize the article so that it makes sense and isn't jumping from one subject to another.

I disagree with your claim that links to MySpace profiles are inappropriate. Many people in the entertainment business use MySpace pages as their personal websites, and this is the case with Tony Sansone - writer of the song "Walk Away Renee". MySpace pages are no different than any other web pages on the net, and should not be discriminated against by those with apparently biased views of the domain.
Also, I strongly consider the most recent cover of "Walk Away Renee" by GJORGI (which was co-produced by the writer of the song) to be worthy of mention in an article about the history of this especially popular song. Please stop removing my content and inaccurately dismissing it as "vandalism". Monica Hart (talk) 11:23, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
External links don't belong in the main text of the article. Normally myspace, youtube, flickr and other such social networking sites are not allowed. If this is the actual myspace page for Sansone, perhaps it could be placed in the external links section. (And don't forget, Sansone is the co-writer of the song). When trying to insert information, please respect what others of have already done and don't just delete things. That's probably why it appeared to be vandalism. Since there seems to be a dispute on adding the GJORGI information, you should discuss it here before adding it back. Do you have sources for this? If it's co-produced by Sansone, it may be notable, but keep in mind neither Sansone nor GJORGI appear to have wiki articles. This isn't 100% necessary, however we would need sources (a website, some publication, information on the record label, etc.) freshacconcispeaktome 15:18, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
