message: If you ever stumble upon beans lying on the floor in your house don't be quick to get angry at another family member because of them. Stepping on them is irritating to the feet and is enough to cause discord in the house even if someone does not get falsely accused of spilling the beans. JuJu beans are used by the Witch to make families divided and fight. Watch out for this. Understand where these beans came from.

In 1978 he got a role as a lead child actor in the play 'A Bright White Flower' by Glynn Day. He then went on to play roles in various shows at the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town, South Africa. He starred in production company Just Us's versions of Noddy, Treasure Island.
In 1988 he was cast as Jimmy Kitchener in the SABC production of Arende. A series set on St Helena's prison of war camp in 1903. That led to leads in Arende 2 and Arende 3.

Talk:Radar warning receiver

message: In the RWRs that I'm familiar with, the distance from the center of the display circle is done by threat - tracking radars are closer than search radars - rather than distance to the signal emitter, which is harder to obtain. I'm not going to edit it out as I don't know how common other methods are. Also, the section on the bottom describing the RWR display seems to be off. It says that the threats displayed are on the border of the no-escape circle, but if I'm interpreting it correctly, the circle they're on the border of is the engagement range circle.

Talk:Yash Raj Films

message: This article still needs clean-up.  I've tried to re-arrange material in a common-sense way under existing headings.  I've removed everything that sounds like it was written by or for a fan magazine.  I've also removed all kinds of assertions about the relative success of various films.  If these assertions can be demonstrated by reference to some kind of neutral third-party assessment -- for instance, if there is a website or organization that tracks how much a specific film earns -- then by all means return them.  But asserting that a film is a "blockbuster" is completely worthless.  Who said so, why did they say it, and in comparison to what standard?  If people want this sort of assertion, they can go to the organization's website or read a fan magazine. Accounting4Taste 17:39, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: possible pic

message: The description of the evasive action when a torpedo was spotted is wrong. The rudder action described counteracts the engine action and no experienced deck officer would have given these orders. The torpedo was heading for the starboard bow and if it was in the forward quarter the correct evasive action is to turn into it with full starboard rudder, starboard engine full astern and port engine full ahead. You turn into the torpedo to show it the narrowest target and the strongest part of the ship (i.e., not the rudder and propellers). If the torpedo was headed for the port bow but came from behind, you turn of course hard to port but this is highly unlikely to have been the case. In any event, the combination of rudder / engine orders described in the article is wrong.
I should be grateful if someone would make the correction for me as I am not very good with the Wiki editing rules.

message: Hello Guys,
I want to make a fairly big edit, but I would like to make sure it is alright with you guys. I have done some research into the survivors and have found 34 definite survivors, 2 more with a 90% chance of being onboard (Pathfinder isn't in their records), and the ranks of 2 more. If you would like to learn more, please go here where I have made a forum post. As this is a pretty large change from 20 known survivors to 38, I thought it would be best to have you guys make sure it's alright to edit. You can find all of their service numbers on the linked page, and from there, look up the ratings files on the National Archives website. For Officers, just look up their names. From there, you can view their records which show them as serving on HMS Pathfinder until 5 September 1914, the day it sunk.Watspoon (talk) 04:00, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, if you have a look at the category, "Lists of fictional characters by series", the most common format is "List of X characters", followed by "List of characters from X", and there's only four lists that mention "universe" in the title. The "list of X characters" seems to be the most concise format - of course, if there's a policy or something about this that everyone's just ignored, I'd appreciate knowing about it. Cheers!

replies: text:  No, I don't think there's a policy or anything that I'm aware of.  Not that I'm going to look around at the moment for either.  But the difference with the "universe" specification is that w/o it the article is confined to minor characters in the Babylon 5 show alone; w/the specification would include minor characters from Crusade and the impending straight-to-DVD? series, and the TV movies, etc.  And since they're all interconnected in the general fictional universe, they could all be consolidated in this one article.  —  pd_THOR | =/\= | 00:15, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, yeah, I see your point. Still, if you compare this to List of Star Trek characters or List of Star Wars characters, there's no reason why we can't simply mention at the top that it includes all characters in the whole Babylon 5 franchise, including spinoffs.
