Talk:Zombie (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
How can I link to the specific subsection ("violence and guns") in "protest songs"?
- [[List_of_protest_songs#Protest_songs_concerning_guns_and_violence]] would make List_of_protest_songs#Protest_songs_concerning_guns_and_violence and [[List_of_protest_songs#Protest_songs_concerning_guns_and_violence|more descriptive title]] would make more descriptive title. In this case, protest song is a more appropriate link, it has a description about the term. On the lower left you can find "What links here". If you add Zombie to the list page, it'll automatically appear there. Also see Wikipedia:How to edit a page. Oh, and you can sign your input (usually only on talk pages) --~~~~, which is also on a button (skin I use anyway) --Dyss 01:01, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
A protest against what? All I heard is a woman shrieking "yehukahuka ZOMBIE ZOMBIE!" over and over again.Pookleblinky 12:37, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- It is about the conflicts in Northern Ireland known as The Troubles.

- When replying on a talk page, most people use a ":" before the reply so that it looks like this. Not a big problem on a small page like this, but in large pages it can get confusing. --Dyss 00:22, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Erm, a protest against what? Its obvious, just generally against the conflict "its the same old thing, sinse 1916"- There had been no progress towards resoloving the troubles. and how the British media and public portayed the southern irish as supporting the IRA, when they really wanted the conflict resolved. "can't you see it not me, its not my family, in your head they are fighting" this is the "zombie" state of mind she refers to.
- It is about two boys that were killed in an IRA bombing in 1993.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The Cranberries - Zombie.jpg
Image:The Cranberries - Zombie.jpg is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Video image
I uploaded and linked a screenshot from the music video for this song. I also added fair use on the image page for this use. I feel it better shows how the singer is made-up to look very much like the saint mentioned in the article section. Feel free to shift and/or shrink the image in the article for better flow. I did not include a caption but go ahead if you think it needs one.
