[edit] basic information

When was this song released? 165.91.64.128 (talk) 03:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)RKH

it's in the infobox on the righthand side - 13 November 2007. Banjiboi 18:30, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] gummi image

there is an image of haribo gummi bears that has a caption that reads "HARIBO's Gold-bears, the namesake of the song "I Am Your Gummy Bear" were first created in Germany in 1922." Actually, the gold bears were introduced in the 50's. Haribo first created "Dancing Bears" in 1922, which eventually evolved into the gold bears. I don't know what to change it to, but strongly think it should be changed. Darkage7 (talk) 06:14, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I'll fix it, thank you for catching that! Benjiboi 08:22, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Fail

I have failed this article because it fails points 1, 3 and 6 on the good article criteria.

• The article is poorly written. Work on run-on sentences, comma splices, introductory phrase's (adverb clause), quotations, ect.

• Don't branch off into unnecessary information, i.e. the "Appearance" section.

• Section reworked into a new section about the video, the song and video are intertwined but i don't feel two articles are needed as of yet.Benjiboi 10:56, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

• Please conform to the guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.

• Make sure all dates, including their links, conform with WP:DATE.

• Try to change your citations to the common form (Template:Cite web#common forms).

• The gap between the introduction and the body needs to be removed.

• I don't believe the image is necessary, but if you feel it is, please move it to a different part of the article -- it is in a very awkward place

• Disagree but moved to correct suggestion per suggestion. Benjiboi 10:56, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Try looking at Wikipedia:Featured articles#Music for examples of how single articles should be written, and good luck! Pbroks13 (talk) 22:33, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing! I look into each of these concerns. Benjiboi 04:08, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The real author's name.

The real name of the person who wrote the song is Christian Schneider. RocketMaster (talk) 18:04, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
