Comment[edit]

In reading Wikipedia articles, I often observe sections referencing "use in popular culture." This evening, I happened to start watching the movie Goodfellas in which the main character, Henry Hill takes his girlfriend to The Copacabana in Manhattan to woo and impress her. Should this be mentioned in the main article?

Why not? Go ahead and add it, don't be scared.

I also took my girlfriend to the Copa, but we went to see Johnny Mathis. We shared the same experience (to the letter) as Henry Hill did with entry, table selection, etc. But now I don't see Mathis listed under performing musiciansNewkirk1 (talk) 13:58, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:CopacabanaLogo.gif[edit]

Image:CopacabanaLogo.gif 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.

Billy Vallee was an owner[edit]

Original/previous owners: It is to my knowledge that Billy Vallee, Rudy Vallee's brother owned this club before the name change and also that Rudy Vallee had also performed maybe just once there. My only reference is my father's correspondence to Billy Vallee as childhood through adult friendship, they were next-door neighbors, musical accomplices, and correspondences, from Westbrook, Maine. http://www.entertainersplus.com. If I find their honeymoon photo taken there (my parents) I shall post it on our About Us page .... and/or letters to and from Billy to Paul Smith (my father). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.38.44.22 (talk) 06:28, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Club Reopening in 2011[edit]

In April 2010 the club owners were approved for a liquor license to operate the club in a new location 760-766 8th Avenue on the Second and Third Floors. http://www.cb5.org/cb5/resolutions/april_/#760-766_8th_avenue_a_k In November of 2010 the club owners were granted permission to alter the method of operation on the 2nd floor to permit dancing by restaurant patrons as well as the general public, not limited to private parties and catered events.

References to Brazil[edit]

As a Brazilian, I've always been curious about the nightclub, since it references Copacabana Beach (Rio de Janeiro) on it's name and it's logo is based on the likeness of Brazilian singer Carmen Miranda (with her fruit hat from The Gang's All Here). I would appreciate if someone could expand the article to include the references that the Copacabana nightclub makes to Brazil.

<?[edit]

Why does this article sort under "<", even after I added {{DEFAULTSORT:Copacabana}} in the External links section?--Dthomsen8 (talk) 13:21, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article sorts correctly under C for Copacabana. This talk page is sorting under <. Why, I cannot imagine. But it has nothing to do with the presence or absence of a DEFAULTSORT parameter in the article. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 01:09, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Eureka! Problem solved!

Somewhere up above, the following text appeared: {{DEFAULTSORT:<span class="plainlinks"></span>}}. No idea how it got there, and it seems to be meaningless rubbish; except, the system didn't know that and interpreted it as {{DEFAULTSORT:< ....}}.

I removed it, and now the talk page sorts correctly. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 22:57, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, it was inserted on 2 August 2011 by User:Newkirk1, in his sole contribution to Wikipedia to date (apart from his user page). A 100% error rate is some sort of record, I suppose. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 23:13, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
