Lyrics[edit]

I've removed the lyrics because they are copyrighted, and their inclusion here did not fall under Wikipedia guidelines. —tregoweth (talk) 12:30, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely correct. Wikipedia does not duplicate copyrighted text; we cannot in order to continue to be a free content encyclopedia. -- Infrogmation 23:39, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For Wikipedia policy about copyright issues, also see Wikipedia:Copyrights. Sometimes questions can arise if a work is copyrighted or not. To help build agreement for one view or the other, anyone could list facts that would help determine copyright status. Unclear cases can also be taken up on Wikipedia:Copyright problems.

trivia sections[edit]

WP:TRIV says to "Avoid trivia sections in articles" and suggests that if facts are important enough to note, it is best to work them into the article with appropriate WP:RS. I just reverted an addition of a trivia section to this article on that basis. Buddhipriya 23:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clair de Lune[edit]

There should be a proof that the song is based on Clair de Lune. The statement "The first seven notes of "When You Wish Upon A Star" are taken from Claude Debussy's Claire de Lune." should be considered false until it is confirmed by official sources or convincingly proved.

I, myself, can not hear any similarities between the two songs except some small passages. I definitely can not hear the full seven-note Disney theme in Clair de Lune.

Ok. I will put the "fact" template on that line. Bender2k14 (talk) 05:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed that claim. I am familiar with both pieces and Clair de Lune does not even use a seven-note theme. There is no similarity between the two. AlbertSM (talk) 18:08, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"The Beach Boys hit song, "Surfer Girl" was inspired by the notes of the song's first phrase.[citation needed]". A similar situation. It is not the same melody, and the article for Surfer Girl says "The meter of the song (sic) is identical to "When You Wish upon a Star" but it does not make the claim that it was inspired thereby. 24.27.31.170 (talk) 02:16, 13 June 2011 (UTC) Eric[reply]

Similarity with Ketelbey’s "Bells across the Meadows" (1921) ?[edit]

The second theme from Ketelbey’s Bells Across the Meadows (1921), which counts seven-notes, seems to me very similar with When You Wish upon a Star. However, nothing on the web talks about that. Is there a way to convincingly prove that ? 77.207.110.229 (talk) 21:19, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, there might be. But even if you did, we couldn't put it in the article until a reliable source took note of it. Powers ^T 13:19, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Brahms Capriccio op 76 no 2[edit]

The 'When You Wish upon a Star' tune sounds like the middle section of Brahms Capriccio Op 76 No2. Note by Note.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.107.202.251 (talk) 01:03, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
