message: As the song is well known in Australia, it occurred to me that some information on the global success, sales and popularity of the song would be good. Alpheus (talk) 20:05, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Below information was tagged for needing sourcing in June 2011. Please feel free to reincorporate into the article with appropriate references. Doniago (talk) 15:13, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Adding many references not only for me, but for all those recordings without references. BMI has them listed, because they collect the money. Peermusic charges $300 to license "You Are My Sunshine" I read somewhere. Maybe I will add some info, but I would have to confirm with peermusic, and that is borderline original research, so maybe we'll leave that for another website.

message: Im not sure I believe this Youtube video claiming a Ukrainian origin of the melody of the song.  How do we know the Ukrainian song is older?  Couldnt it just be an adaptation of the melody that originated in the USA? ☮Soap☮ 13:32, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I have  concerning the "Barber Pole Rag". I have examined the linked manuscript and don't find much similarity beyond rhythm and melodic contour. At any rate, in the absence of a reliable source in support of the comparison, the whole idea is inappropriate for Wikipedia per WP:OR. Ibadibam (talk) 05:57, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

message: I read article from my phone today (power is out in my neighborhood). Some of it Is very good and informative  we need to add back a covers section, if only as a summary.  i is too much to overlook. i will create it, not afraid to have it totally trashed if necessary. Article has come a long way. Tillywilly17 (talk
:You're welcome to do so, but please review WP:SONGCOVER before making any changes. A laundry list of covers without sources that establish their significance will be removed. DonIago (talk) 14:30, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

text: I am a generous person with team spirit. However, some are only interested in their opinion, and not feelings of fellow editors. If you need copies, I probably can dig mine up. Sorry Tillywilly17 (talk) 04:16, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

text: Restoring the old version without regard for the concerns that have been raised on this page would be disruptive. DonIago (talk) 04:46, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I apologize if it had to do with the youtube links, you were clear about that. Otherwise, I took a shot at repairing the section. I was not referring to you in my comment above! haha sorry Tillywilly17 (talk) 06:38, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I was addressing Blackhole's statement that they were considering restoring the old version. DonIago (talk) 07:23, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It's equally disruptive to outright remove a pretty major section of the article for months with no mind to replace it. The longer it's absent, the more likely the work there will be lost to the archives and have to be recreated from scratch. The usual iterative process is one of pruning and improving over time, not of removing entire sections that people agree should exist because a few of the data points weren't up to standard. I don't think the section should ever have been outright deleted from the article at all. BlackholeWA (talk) 16:43, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Regarding your first point, have you reached out to the editor who removed that section? I don't think anyone's objecting to you restoring it as long as you do bear in mind the concerns that have been raised in the past. As far as I know, there's no Wikipedia policies that require that edits be iterative. The changes won't be "lost to the archives" when anyone can include a WP:PERMALINK as part of this discussion. Based on the above discussion, I think it's understating the problem to claim "a few of the data points weren't up to standard". TL;DR I'd say reach out to the editor who did the removal to get their opinion on this discussion, or do a thoughtful reinsertion of the material that does satify WP:SONGCOVER. If you simply reinsert the material with no plans to review it then that is disruptive editing. DonIago (talk) 17:33, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Blackhole doesn't appear to have read the preceding "Covers" discussion nor realize that :WP:SONGCOVER reflects consensus. Problems with SONGCOVER should be taken up on the project talk page rather than here. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:18, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
