thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I find quite sad that all the references added over time on the other notable versions were deleted in 2022 as per the song cover policy.
Showing that multiple versions exist is both informative and help illustrate how the song has been influencial and related to many artists.
Most of the artists mentioned in the list of covers are well known (Diana Ross, Cranberries...) and their albums (with the cover) were signicant (even if it can be debated if the cover itself stood out).
In this case, the strict application of WPSong cover has reduced the quality of the article and made it less informative. The purpose of the policy is to highlight the most notable covers and avoid having too many, but it shouldn't drain all content away from articles.
Sharing this to suggest we reinstate the other notable cover section deleted in 2022.
Thanks.
