always using verbose formal english, stoic but gives off a feeling as if agents are always optimistic, even during mission failure — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mahfuzur rahman shourov ( talk • contribs) 05:43, 9 October 2015 (UTC) |
Go to Tell Her (Lonestar song). There's a message saying:
This song should not be confused with the female interpretation of "Tell Him". "Tell Him" (and Tell Her) is a song written and composed by Bert Berns, which was first recorded as "Tell Her" in 1962.
The song "Tell Him", which is what the above statement is talking about, is a female-singer song. (We know that some songs have both male and female-singer versions, and I understand the phrase female interpretation to mean "variant of a song originally sung by a man being sung by a woman". This description make no sense implies that the song being talked about ("Tell Him" in this case) is a male-singer song and that it's talking about what a female-singer version of the song would be.) Please fix the statement.
Important note for anyone who wants to make a post in this section about reference desks vs. talk pages as places to post messages on Wikipedia: I'm posting this here so that it can get more attention; many talk pages get so little attention.) Georgia guy ( talk) 16:45, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
