Talk:Waters of March

message: Matita Pereira is linked with Saci's article, but Matita Pereira is another tale in Brazilian folklore. Please, can someone fix it?

replies: text: If you are an area expert why not fix it yourself?  Are you disputing that Saci is a transformational character as referenced in the two Wikipedia articles Saci (Brazilian folklore) and Striped cuckoo? Liberato (talk) 11:52, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

message: Who is this guy? There is no article written on him. Also, can the person who added the information about Jobim's "pschoanalysis" and the best song ever recorded add citations? Is there an article or an intreview? What is Brazil's "leading daily newspaper"? dq 02:59, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone got the wrong interpretation of the music!! 
1) March is FALL in the Southern Hemisphere, where coincidentally Brazil happens to be
2) There are no snowy mountains in Brazil.
3) If you ever lived in Rio (I was born there), you would know that March marks the end of SUMMER, usually with so much rain that floods are not unusual. So, if you stay at a window, you will see sticks, stones, and everything else flowing down with the rains.
Maybe, just maybe, Tom made a metaphor about the life and the floods in Rio, but definetly, it was not SPRING WATERS nor MELTING SNOW he was thinking<BR>

message: I'm not sure if there needs to be a giant list of artists who have done versions of this song. Rather, only notable versions should be mentioned. I think, as a rule, a list like this should not be larger than its corresponding article. Can we pair-down this list? What do you think? dq 14:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the reference to the third Filipina singer who has done this song for two reasons:
1) It was put in the wrong place
2) This person may be popular in the Philippines, but I've never heard of her.
I've also never heard of the other Filipina singers mentioned in the list either. If someone can prove that these people are really popular outside of the Philippines then by all means add them. I'm also going to start pairing down the list and if people want to join in the discussion then please do. (I will leave one Filipina singer.) dq 03:38, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The article doesn't inform about what year this song was written and first released (although the earliest references are to 1973). This should be stated in the introduction and the article should be categorized in song by year category as well. __meco (talk) 10:53, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree; this article completely misses out the original recording. Which version is the original? I don't know, which is disappointing after having read the article.78.86.61.94 (talk) 21:42, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I added first recording in versions section.  The eponymously titled album was also released as Matita Perê without English version.Liberato (talk) 02:24, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Correction, second recording. it looks like someone found the very earliest release from 1972.  Good job! Liberato (talk) 02:02, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Seems to me this list of covers nowhere near meets WP:COVERSONG. It's a standard; by definition, that means lots and lots of people cover it, and it's not at all notable that someone does so; and there's some real crap in the list too. Like most of the article, almost nothing is sourced. The song deserves a better treatment (and, of course, for a more comprehensive list of recordings one can go to a site devoted to exactly that.)  --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇  18:14, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
