Fair use rationale for Image:Eydie Gorme - Too Close For Comfort.ogg

Image:Eydie Gorme - Too Close For Comfort.ogg 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 16:00, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maiden name

My aunt married a "Gormezano" and Eydie's real name is not "Garmezano." Please fix this as I don't have the time or energy right now. Almost any other web site has it correctly.162.83.149.70 (talk) 20:47, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Sir or Madam: I changed it to "Garmezano" based on the 1930 census records which clearly show the spelling used at that time (and her true year of birth). Perhaps the "Gormezano" -- if that person is even a relation to Eydie -- who married your aunt changed the spelling. However you cannot just leave a message asking that something be changed without being able to provide a serious reason as to why.

Also, "Almost any other web site has it correctly does not mean all that much, although having made the change some time ago I am pretty sure many mirror sites have already copied it by now. Perhaps not IMDb, yet, but IMDb and mirror sites and outdated references and personal anecdotes are not reliable sources. If you can prove it using reliable sources, I will be happy to restore the old spelling. Yours, Quis separabit? 22:43, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, perhaps I should write to Eydie and ask for both the short and long forms of her birth certificate.;-) Though I've never met Eydie, I've never seen the "Garmezano" form of her name either.Ed (talk) 13:27, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As you like, but why wouldn't you check the census records reflink I provided in the article regarding Gorme's year of birth and name at birth; there is also one for her mother, Fortuna (or Fortune). Both cite Garmezano. Quis separabit? 16:11, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was joking about writing to Eydie but I'm wondering if there could be a mistake on the census form. But the link was a help as I was able to find my Uncle Dave on Ancestry.com.

http://records.ancestry.com/David_Gormezano_records.ashx?pid=81151275

There is no doubt it is he since all of the facts match as far as I know. His son, my cousin Albert did indeed die young (in an auto accident.). And also, what I didn't remember was that Dave's mother was Miriam Sedacca and the article on Eydie says she is a cousin of Neil Sedaka. I didn't know about Dave's later life after he moved to Florida and remarried.

Glad I could be of help. Quis separabit? 18:45, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unless and until other information is forthcoming, it will have to be left as "Edith Garmezano". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Midipedia (talk • contribs) 17:43, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Quis separabit? 18:45, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did write to Eydie on the Steve and Eydie website and, though it took time, I did just get an answer which I paste here:

Dear Edward

Thank you for your E-mail. Wikipedia is incorrect. It is Gormezano.

Thank you The Steve and Eydie Website Team

I'd be happy to forward the email if that is what is wanted but I think you should change it or have Wikipedia risk looking foolish. I won't change it myself as I don't want to risk another editing war!Ed (talk) 01:12, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. I am not 100% convinced but if anyone wants to add a refnote regarding this apparent discrepancy (Gormezano v Garmezano) and chalk it up to census records misspellings, that seems fair. Quis separabit? 03:26, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My editing skills are not sufficient to add a refnote. If someone else can do it, fine.Ed (talk) 14:53, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~OK, I'll do it when I get the chance and have decided on how to write it and which spelling to use as a default. Quis separabit? 16:35, 23 December 2011 (UTC)~~[reply]

Can't do it until some evidence that census records were incorrect re Garmezano. If anyone has any proof they are free to upload it to the article or to my talk page. Quis separabit? 21:06, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The CNN obit says her father changed it from Garmezano when he immigrated. Kendall-K1 (talk) 01:07, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Death

=="It is believed she died of cancer". No source, nothing has been disclosed by the family. The ONLY source that claims she had cancer is a woman in a Google group who claims Gorme is her aunt. This should be removed.Zabadu (talk) 04:08, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Title of article

It seems that Edie Gorme is the more common spelling both by the public and by Gorme herself. The official web site uses "Gorme". This article should follow suit per WP:COMMONNAME. Rhindle The Red (talk) 17:46, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

She sometimes used Gormé - see the 2nd photo from the left in the top line here. Mostly, I agree, it was just Gorme.

But nowhere and never did she spell her first name "Edie". It was ALWAYS "Eydie". -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 21:26, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The CBS obit says "Gorme decided to keep the family name but changed her given name from Edith to Edie. Later, having grown tired of people mistaking it for Eddie, she changed the spelling to Eydie." All the obits I've seen spell her last name "Gorme." Kendall-K1 (talk) 03:24, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DISCOGRAPHY

I believe that at least one Steve & Eydie recording is missing from the discography. I no longer have the 45 rpm record of it, but my memory says that: (1) the A side was "Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words)", (2) it did well on the early 60's pop charts, and (3) it was on the Columbia label. There should be some way to corroborate this. That's all.Lovingthesixties (talk) 04:52, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here's one on ABC: [1]. That same site lists quite a few overseas releases too. I suspect the discography is not complete. Kendall-K1 (talk) 19:38, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The complete discography is now available. It shows that Amor was issued a total of 19 times in various countries. ^[1] Salud! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hilda S Mitrani (talk • contribs) 03:06, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
