LED or incandescent? ―Mandruss ☎ 00:42, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It depends. Are they hanging from the street lamps? μηδείς (talk) 01:09, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't a clue, I'm not the OP. ―Mandruss ☎ 01:26, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
We don't give opinions. Besides, it's working just fine.   Clarityfiend (talk) 02:46, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's not working fine though - it's on the blink. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:32, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure about admins, but it takes 61 general Wikipedians. InedibleHulk (talk) 03:09, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In other words, the average wikipedian shines at .984 watts? μηδείς (talk) 20:50, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not as many as it takes to change a heavy bulb. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 04:09, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nice! I can't believe I'd never heard or thought of that before. InedibleHulk (talk) 05:14, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't this be hatted as a medical or perhaps legal question? --jpgordon::==( o ) 16:40, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. What's stopping you? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 17:17, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Fraid I can't answer this question. I just do speedy deletions and so on. I leave technical stuff like that to the experts. Pete "I can't believe he's a sysop" AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 07:16, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I thought this sort of tomfoolery was banned on the ref desks. Has the rule been changed?--86.157.136.156 (talk) 19:33, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is Shingo Kitamura male or female? edit

In the GRG pending cases, Shingo Kitamura is listed as female. But in the list of living supercentenarians, Shingo is listed as male. Which is correct? Deaths in 2013 (talk) 04:33, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's a guy's name, so I'd lean toward male. InedibleHulk (talk) 05:17, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Check z3.invisionfree.com/The_110_Club/index.php?showtopic=9975. Looks like a male to me. Google is your friend. KägeTorä - (影虎) (Chin Wag) 14:47, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Based on what I have read on the 110 Club forum, Mr. Kitamura is a male. Futurist110 (talk) 07:27, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
