[edit] Inspiration

The song is possibly about Mick Jagger's destructive love affair with Marianne Faithfull, although this is only speculation.

I took this phrase out precisely because it is speculation. If a verifiable source for this can be cited, then it would be OK to include in the article. GentlemanGhost 22:30, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

I can't find a photo of the cover for the single so feel free to put one up if you got a copy. Stan weller 23:18, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No official version

I took out the following line because it was not only untrue but it contradicts the first line of the article: "Although popular at the Stones' live shows "Wild Horses" has never been recorded for an official release." I do believe Sticky Fingers was an official release.--Lairor 01:42, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Someone added it back. Maybe they meant a live version of the song was never recorded for an official release? Jeff schiller 18:32, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mazzy Star

Mazzy Star didn't covered this song; see [1], number 7. For some reason, people mistake The Sundays version for a Mazzy Star version. Cattus 18:28, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:WildHorses45.jpg

Image:WildHorses45.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.
