Searching for French language daily talk TV show

Equal to the View or even Rachel Ray or Oprah, (female host(s)) could be French or Quebec. Have tried a few searches but no real luck on here or other sites. Is this a cultural thing? I'd imagine French culture in either Europe or Quebec have a similar market for that genre. Thanks! ^{Market St.⧏} _{⧐ Diamond Way} 06:07, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

I don't know about a daily show, but the website for TF1 offered me several likely looking candidates for this kind of show (under "programmes" -> "Magazine"). For example, C'est quoi l'Amour discusses emotional aspects of family life in unusual circumstances. Unfortunately, I've not seen this programme and I don't receive French TV any more, so I can't say whether any of these programmes are what you are looking for. Their "concept de l'émission" page is rather brief, but I doubt any of the presenters are the equal of Oprah Winfrey. Astronaut (talk) 18:10, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

another Hurricane Sandy benefit concert in New Orleans

I was looking up Hurricane Sandy benefit concerts on Google. Something new came up. In addition to NOLA Pay It Forward, there was another benefit concert for the same cause, also in New Orleans. It was NOLA for NJ and NY: A New Orleans Hurricane Sandy Benefit Concert. I gave as much information as I possibly could on the former when I tried to create an article about it. But someone should do an article about the latter. I also gave as much information as I possibly could when I tried to create an article about the upcoming 12.12.12 - The Concert for Sandy Relief at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Did I do better this time?142.255.103.121 (talk) 08:49, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

I don't think this concert is notable enough to merit its own article, i.e. it fails the tests laid out in WP:N. Consider adding a line or two to Hurricane Sandy#Relief efforts instead. --Viennese Waltz 13:05, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

As indeed you have been advised on the previous occasions you've raised this. Rojomoke (talk) 15:37, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

At the risk of being disruptive, I have to agree with VW's suggestion. These are changes you can make yourself as long as you have a verifiable, reliable source. μηδείς (talk) 17:27, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

I've already made changes. This time the articles aren't blank. They do have verifiable and reliable sources.142.255.103.121 (talk) 19:43, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

well known music mixed into trance

so far, i know that Scotland the Brave and Hava Nagila-hebrew song are mixed into techno music. Is there any other well known music that have been mixed into trance music? --Donmust90 (talk) 16:15, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Obviously yes. If you're looking for specific examples, you'll have to make your question more specific. --Onorem♠Dil 16:24, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

I think it should be taken for granted that the OP was really asking for some more examples. No need to be condesending . . . 99.250.103.117 (talk) 03:44, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

I don't feel like I was. The entire genre is pretty much based off of sampling music. (and a solid bass beat) Yes, other well known music has been mixed into trance music. Without a more specific question, I have no clue what information they want. Should I just start listing some of the thousands of examples? --Onorem♠Dil 04:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Héctor Camacho first to win in seven divisions?

Our article on the boxer "Macho" Héctor Camacho has the claim he was the first boxer to win in seven divisions. Can anybody who has knowledge of boxing explain and confirm this with a source? Thanks. μηδείς (talk) 18:10, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Several of Camacho's seven "titles" are from minor league sanctioning divisions. The Boxing world currently recognizes 4 "major" titles: the World Boxing Organization, World Boxing Association, World Boxing Council, and International Boxing Federation. Other sanctioning bodies exist and name champions, but they are not widely regarded as significant. Camacho has held meaningful titles in only 3 divisions: Super Featherweight, Lightweight, and Light Welterweight. --Jayron32 18:25, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

More: Septuple champion has info on Macho Camacho's titles: the last 4 were all from minor sanctioning bodies, one of which is so minor league no one has created a Wikipedia article for it. --Jayron32 18:30, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

I am not really comfortable editting the article (regarding fight stats), since to me these terms are about as intuitive as drams and pecks. Would you be willing to clarify the statement in the article? μηδείς (talk) 19:59, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm not finding anything about seven titles in the text of the article. Maybe I'm dense; could you indicate where it is? --Jayron32 00:07, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

The reference in the article was to septuple in the lead. But a ref has just been provided, so the question is moot at this point. μηδείς (talk) 22:50, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
