[edit] Users of goodwill please note

The user Jgm has demanded that I have no right to edit this page and the page 'Your Cheatin' Heart' on the grounds that I have no right to edit the article but he does. Users please note that this is not true; I have the equal 'right' to edit pages that everyone else in the world-public do. I do not understand why he makes this bizzare demand but from 7 months experience I have found that if I do not obey such demands I am illegally blocked and experience jeering bullying from people working in packs who say that they abuse me because it "is such fun". (See Jimmy Wales post on The Wikipedia Foundation's mailing list.)

This is causing a serious downer on my health and so I am reluctantly for the present obeying the demand that I do not edit these two articles I started in response to a request for them on the 'requests' page. I have requested that userJgm go to a mediation complaint with me to stop this discrimination against me on the wikipedia.WikiUser 18:40, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lacking the most important information

I'm not an authority on this subject, so I'm not going to edit the article, but the fact that Jeff Beck is represented only as a footnote makes the article (stub) almost deceptive. My understanding of "Superstition" is that it was written for Jeff Beck, but he declined to record it initially, so Stevie went ahead and recorded it himself. However, I read somewhere recently that Beck had planned to record it and Stevie changed his mind about "giving it" to him, which ticked Beck off. --Whit 00:25, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

i wouldn't call this "the most important information". the truth is stevie wrote it, stevie performed it, it became a hit for stevie, a classic for stevie, and beck's version sucks (and i love him).--Progjunky (talk) 09:34, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Stevie wonder-superstition single.jpg

Image:Stevie wonder-superstition single.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.
