according to the English article the song was first in Hungarian "released in the original Hungarian" and a "dance" track. Yet the German article suggests it was first in German and that it was a House tune. WHICH is correct?? It seems closer to House than dance to me and why would a German producer release the song first in Hungarian? Could someone with proper references correct this —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.113.96.60 (talk) 20:52, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

there is an image of haribo gummi bears that has a caption that reads "HARIBO's Gold-bears, the namesake of the song "I Am Your Gummy Bear" were first created in Germany in 1922." Actually, the gold bears were introduced in the 50's. Haribo first created "Dancing Bears" in 1922, which eventually evolved into the gold bears. I don't know what to change it to, but strongly think it should be changed. Darkage7 (talk) 06:14, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll fix it, thank you for catching that! Benjiboi 08:22, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have failed this article because it fails points 1, 3 and 6 on the good article criteria.

• The article is poorly written. Work on run-on sentences, comma splices, introductory phrase's (adverb clause), quotations, ect.

• Don't branch off into unnecessary information, i.e. the "Appearance" section.

• Section reworked into a new section about the video, the song and video are intertwined but i don't feel two articles are needed as of yet.Benjiboi 10:56, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Please conform to the guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.

• Make sure all dates, including their links, conform with WP:DATE.

• Try to change your citations to the common form (Template:Cite web#common forms).

• The gap between the introduction and the body needs to be removed.

• I don't believe the image is necessary, but if you feel it is, please move it to a different part of the article -- it is in a very awkward place

• Disagree but moved to correct suggestion per suggestion. Benjiboi 10:56, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Try looking at Wikipedia:Featured articles#Music for examples of how single articles should be written, and good luck! Pbroks13 (talk) 22:33, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reviewing! I look into each of these concerns. Benjiboi 04:08, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The real name of the person who wrote the song is Christian Schneider. RocketMaster (talk) 18:04, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a reliable source for that? Banjeboi 01:31, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely convinced that this is something that falls under WP:FURRY. Its popularity does not derive from the fandom, nor is it even particularly well-known within it. GreenReaper (talk) 01:16, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm unclear if it's relevant or not and not bothered either way. If it is removed we should simply state why and ask that re-adding it be accompanied with explanation. Banjeboi 01:32, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I've removed it from WP:FURRY on the basis that there is likely to be little that we can add to it - it falls outside of our area of expertise. GreenReaper (talk) 03:44, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is the basis for the scandal section? Seems to be added as a joke? Doesn't seem to be verifiable. "It isn't clear" to whom, exactly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.117.129.249 (talk) 19:04, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The video is used as an ad for a Greek delicatessen product, by company Yfantis. Have a look at the ad here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.118.39.140 (talk) 21:40, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In this edit I removed the lengthy list of "Multiple languages" for numerous reasons: Much of the content seems to be coming from an Australian IP-hopper who has a penchant for disruption. (Note 101.* range or 101.176.137.21 specifically, who was blocked for continuous cross-wiki vandalism. Or the 153.107.* range, which appears to be registered to the New South Wales Department of Education in Australia.) So I am inclined to think that edits like these are not genuine. Similarly, it's dubious that there is even an Interlingua version of this song, or that anyone speaking Interlingua cares about this song enough to have a title for it. The content is also largely unsourced, indiscriminate and a magnet for cruft. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 13:35, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I removed that cruft; you betta protect the table now! Awesomemeeos (talk), 5 May 2016

I wouldn't disagree too strongly with you, but on Wikipedia we require a source (see WP:RS), we do not post original research (see WP:OR) and for things like genre, we need third party source discussing it (see WP:SUBJECTIVE). So before we add a genre, we need to satisfy this criteria. Andrzejbanas (talk) 14:17, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Noticed the external link section linking to gummybear.net, but that domain seems to be cybersquatted. Domain not archived at WebCite, nor archive.today. Checked archive.org archives of the gummybear.net 'homepage' from 2008 to 2015, but no content archived (mostly just redirects to things such as frame&uid=gummybear537759c4ef9122.84070819 ) Going to bed now, can someone check archive.org archives of 2016 onward to see if there a valid archive of gummybear.net we can link to? --EarthFurst (talk) 11:23, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like most of the article was copied from the German article and just translated. This is quite stupid if you imagine that Wikipedia stands for the opposite... I'd like some variation in the article. 2001:4DD7:3926:0:81D3:5B84:28BE:5FE6 (talk) 11:40, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The following passage is based on a famous song probably from the 80s. The Gummy Bear song has the melody D D D D D D D E against a G chord, then the hook: D C A ("gum-my bear") against an F chord (all is later transposed up a whole step).

Oh I'm a movin', groovin', Jammin', Singin' Gummy Bear

I can't remember the title and can't believe that I'm unable to find it on Google or Wikipedia. When someone figures it out it should be added to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevintimba (talk • contribs) 06:07, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
