Talk:Fernando (song)

message: 'Fernando' is not ABBA's best selling Single. Its 6 Million copies were
beaten by 'Dancing Queen', which is now on over 7 Million Sales, with 
Downloads added in. Wikipedia does not even List 'Dancing Queen' on 
its World's Best Selling Singles Page. This is because it had sold
3 Million by the end of 1976, so Wikipedia thinks that is all it sold.
In fact, it was a USA No.1 in 1977 - so well over a Million USA Sales,
from 1977, need to be added in. It was also still in many Countries Top 10's
at the start of 1977 - so those 1977 Sales need to be added in. Plus,
it sold over 500,000, as a 1992 Re-Issue. As well as over a Million Downloads
since 2004/2005. Sadly - as usual - Wikipedia is wrong, when it comes to 
'Dancing Queen', & its Global Sales. 86.13.2.211 (talk) 17:02, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Those do not exactly sound like flutes at the opening of the song. Does anyone know for sure what those instruments are?  The sound more like a metal panpipe or even a penny whistle-like instrument to me. -- 67.116.253.187 04:53, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

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.

thread_title: Image copyright problem with File:Anni-Frid Lyngstad - Frida Ensam (1975).jpg

message: Their reference to "the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande" appears to tie the setting to the Mexican Revolution, which began when Francisco Madero led an armed band across the border from Texas on November 20, 1910, to overthrow the 34 year dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz.  It would appear obvious:  fighting for freedom, crossing the rio grande.  But no, I don't have wp:rs--Work permit (talk) 00:58, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

message: In the  HISTORY section
"Tony Fernando, a wealthy exports director for celebrities such as Princess Anne and Tom Selleck, was a friend of Peter Forbes"
 
what on earth is an exports director? why would Princess Ann have one? what's the relevance of where the chauffeur got the name-change idea from (if true)?

message: I have deleted the info box for the Cher version.  The entire section is only four sentances.  per MOS:IBX, "the purpose of an info box: to summarize (and not supplant) key facts that appear in the article".  There is no need to have an 11 line summary of a four sentence section.  I personally don't see the need for a WP:DISINFOBOX in this section.  Let's discuss.

thread_title:  Infobox for Cher Version 

message: Noticed that the UK's official sales and downloads positions have been removed for Cher's version without any explanation. These are official charts too and should remove as they show how the song has performed in terms of sales only. The Billboard and UK's OCC sub-charts are generally accepted, just like the Cash-Box charts all present in the original version's chart. Uncleangelo (talk) 12:11, 05 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I don’t see why the editor removed them either.  Lets see if anyone has a reason.  If not, lets put them back inWork permit (talk) 05:24, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
