Talk:Reach (S Club 7 song)

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why is it not picked up anywhere that the tune to this song was plagiarised straight from the Gipsy Kings' song 'A Mi Manera (Comme d'habitude)'? I'm sure you can find it on youtube to have listen and see what I'm talking about it - listen to the whole GK song though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.43.240 (talk) 05:10, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Reach(SClub7).jpg[edit]

Image:Reach(SClub7).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 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 23:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ooops[edit]

This survived 11 days? [1] It appears to have made it onto the BBC 6 o'clock news... DWaterson 17:35, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good spot - I wouldn't have clocked it as a hoax, listening to the track and some of the theme tunes he wrote - you could believe it. Anyone got a copy of BBC claiming it was true? Surely they ought to check their sources better! --RedHillian 03:26, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I can't believe just how far this has got. Just tying it into google shows this piece of "trivia" appearign in numerous obituaries. Maybe the media should use this as a warning not to use Wikipedia as a reference.81.104.253.116 17:07, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
On the other hand this (from the Guardian newspaper in the UK) is verifiable as per WP guidelines - perhaps we're wrong? --RedHillian 23:36, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Classic! "Journalists" now use wikipedia as a first port of call, so the BBC, Times and Guardian all reported that Hazlehurst had written 'Reach'...but now the vandalism can stay in cos there are verifiable sources reporting it PSML --feline1 10:18, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Private Eye magazine has an article in this week (issue 1195) poking fun at this fiasco in their increasingly regular column, Wikipedia Whispers. Not one of Wikipedia's finest hours perhaps. The Eye attributes the first erronous republication of the information to The Scotsman, but it's quite extraordinary that quite so many news sources managed to repeat the error; you'd almost be led to think they simply copied their stories from each other!
