An infobox was requested for the Jimmy Cliff version of "Many Rivers to Cross" at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Missing_encyclopedic_articles/List_of_notable_songs/9.
Why is it that the wikipedia page for a song that is both owned and "owned" by Jimmy Cliff, looks like a billboard for a Cher concert? Is there some way to make all the Cher project and chronology stuff smaller?
I second removing the Cher image, I am familiar with about 10 versions of this song, none done by Cher. - 209.248.175.82 19:35, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Chermrtc.JPG
Image:Chermrtc.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 20:43, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unfaithful description
Dear all,
for me it is pretty clear that the lyrics of Many Rivers to Cross are definitely not
- a spiritual plea from the singer, calling out for guidance from above to help ease his trouble.
After reading the lyrics many and many times, for instance, in [1], i still can't find a reference to the creator.
au contraire, the composer even says "I is such a drag to be on your own," thing most related to being left by his girl, and not to being without a superior being. still other phrases have nothing of a call out for guidance from above. for instance, And " merely survive because of my pride," and "And it's only my will that keeps me alive."
the mentioned description is against the impartiality claims of Wikipedia. it is not impossible that the author of the song has religious beliefs, just as myself. the problem is that the religious beliefs are not in the lyrics words.
All the best, --Hgfernan 16:51, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
