Talk:Stephen Poliakoff

message: There seem to be a lot of instances of very minor and piecemeal editing on this page, mostly around the paragraphs covering Poliakoff's return to television. Perhaps a bit of discussion here is needed, as at the moment it seems that the page is being changed every other day to very little effect. I think we could also do with some expansion of the plots of the individual productions that don't already have their own pages. The lack of virtually any detail of his stage work is also rather glaring. Nick Cooper 09:27, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Kidd Video

message: I had to remove a lot of untrue "broadcasting history". OTOH, if it did air on CTV in Canada during it's initial run, then I'll leave that there. As for Rede Globo in Brazil, well okay maybe this should mentioned in the article somewhere, but the thing is I had to mvoe that entire section. Most of it was totally made up. It never aired Nickelodeon, Disney, Cartoon Network, or anywhere. Brittany Ka 16:05, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This Article "Phails" on So Many Levels 

message: The cartoon preceded Beavis and Butthead by several years by inserting music videos inside an animated story. Also, the real people in the title part of the show is an actual band.  They were on Dance Fever in 1984 (when Adrian Zmed was host) singing a remake of the Supremes' "Where Did Our Love Go." - see Youtube.  So this was a complete fabricated band - real performers along with an accompanying cartoon - and even an attempt at hitting the pop charts which they didn't do.

thread_title:  Other facts about Kidd Video 

message: The article says "Towards the end of the series run it appeared the group found their way back home to the real world and would sometimes return to the Flipside to help others in need." I do remember an episode or two where at least one of them gets home without the others but voluntarily comes back just on the principle that "when they make it home they'll do it together". Others have them almost getting home but they usually sacrifice their chance to get home in order to send home instead a band that Master Blaster kidnapped. Like most cartoons of the era, I think it ended without us knowing their final fate.137.198.20.56 (talk) 18:30, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Stephen Pound

message: I heard he accidentally set fire to a fellow MP during a debate in the House of Commons, anyone got further details on this?
Re the editing taking place on this article: it seems justified to comment on Mr Pound's career as a comedian as he is after all in show business as well as being in politics.   I would support the reference to his appearance on Have I Got News for You as confirming his career as a comedian and the comment that Punch-like he laughs at his own jokes: both comments are justified because they are true and they add impartiality to an article which at present is too much in favour of the subject to be unbiased.

Talk:Stephen Roche

message: The introduction contains the line "Roche's rise coincided with that of fellow Irishman Sean Kelly although the two were never team-mates", however later in the article in the description of the world cycling championship it is mentioned that they were team mates. I have altered the sentence in the first section.  DeSelb (talk) 13:09, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Roche and Kelly - team mates?

message: I removed the remark that Roche was fired from Carrera since it was unsourced and it is potentially seen as a controversial and/or damaging remark. Until it can be sourced that Carrera actually fired Roche - which is to prohibit him from competition in carrera jersey and bikes during some part of the 1987 year then - then I think the more neutral point of view is that Roche changed team and that he was not fired. According to his biography which was written by David Walsh, Roche and his mechanic Patrick Valcke were scouting out potential teammates for his new Fagor team during the 1987 Tour de France and that this created tension during the Tour de France. In his last race of the year, the 1987 Nissan Classic which went from september 30 to october 5th, Roche rode for what was called "Ever Ready batteries-Carrera" together with Carrera-Vagabond teammate Eddy Schepers. (this was reported at the time by the Irish Times newspaper) So despite the controversy in the Giro and the Tour, Stephen Roche was still riding for Carrera in october and had already made the decision to change team. There may have been talk during the Giro d'Italia about firing Roche from the Carrera team but as he was wearing the maglia rosa this did not happen and it seems the team did not fire him. Unless it can be explicitly proven that he was fired it is an opinion that he was fired which ,given the current climate of teams firing riders connected to doping, could be a damaging remark to Roche.--Dawesaudax 08:30, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Roche fired from Carrera

message: Media:From the introduction to the Stephen Roche article:
"never competed at peak fitness in a truly open and competitive race including the prominent riders of his generation."
I dispute the relevance of this comment. It appears to be a matter of opinion. Whereas Roche won the Tour when Hinault had retired and LeMond was injured, he battled a strong Pedro Delgado, Jean Francois Bernard and Charly Mottet. In the Giro d'Italia he bet Visentini among others. Just because two Tour de France riders were not present during his Tour win does not merit this type of comment in the introduction to the man and his achievements.--Dawesaudax (talk) 09:32, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Stephen Root

message: On Stephen's birthplace: On the News Radio DVD commentary ( Season 1 Episode 5 12:19-12:50 ), Stephen Root says he was not born in Florida. 
Interviewer ( Possibly Paul Sims ): "Stephen you were originally from Florida?"
Root: "Ah, No, I ended up going to the University of Floridia, but I was a midwest Kid" 
Interviewer: "Really!"
Root: "Yeah, yeah, I.."
Interviewer: "because you have sort of a southern accent"
Dave Foley: "Where is Jimmy from?"
Root: "Well, I was there in my formative years. OK but no I was a midwest kid... Iowa and Indiana and Missouri and ended up in Florida"
Also, on a set interview for Jersey Girl Stephen root says:  
( when asked "Are you originally from L.A.?" )
"Oh god No. I'm actually a Midwest kid. My dad was in construction, so we moved around every couple of years. I've lived in Muncie, Indiana, Sioux City, Iowa, Kansas City MO, Glen Rock, Wyoming; all over the Midwest. My Dad moved down to Florida when I was in senior high. It was cheap to go to college in Florida, so I became a Gator for four years. That's where I started doing theater."
Source: http://www.jerseygirl-movie.com/interviews/6.html
So him being born in Sarasota seems to be incorrect. IMDB has this wrong as well. I'm guessing that's where the original source was.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.14.108.63 (talk) 04:49, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

message: The article states:
"Smale began his career as an instructor at the college at the University of Chicago. In 1958, he astounded the mathematical world with a proof of a sphere eversion. He then cemented his reputation with a proof of the Poincaré conjecture for all dimensions greater than or equal to 5; he later generalized the ideas in a 107 page paper that established the h-cobordism theorem."

message: Surely this is a Wrexham or Shrewsbury fan messing around? 
The overwhelming majority of Chester City supporters are very sceptical as to why Vaughan gets (or hopefully "got" if this loan move becomes permanent) in the team as he looks, to be kind, average. His effort can't be faulted but his ability certainly can! As for captain, even the few fans who think he's good enough can't justify a 21 year old son of the chairman being skipper.

Talk:2006 Eneco Tour

message: It seems this tour doesn't count the climbing points. Both the official site and cyclingnews.com do not mention it. The KOM award might not exist in this tour. If this is true, we should just remove the KOM Classification section. --Celticshk Talk 07:41, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes I've also not noticed any points being shown anywhere. In the beginning fo the tour it was mentioned (on tv), that there was no jersey this year. But not that there were no points being handed out. (Which seemd logic since only the last two stages featured climbs, so sponsors ae not so interested in a KOM jersey as the jersey would only be worn in the last stage). However in the last two stages I have noticed that they have given bonus seconds for coming through first on climbs instead of points. No standings are to be found anywhere so I suppose they are left out this year. If certain, I'll remove it. (feel free to to so yourself also if you are sure) Pelotastalk 15:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
