October 14 edit
90's Songs for Ensemble edit
Every year, my high school holds a musical performance event in which the students sing both solo and group ensemble pieces that are choreographed for part or all of the group, with a pit orchestra providing accompaniment. We have a theme each year, such as the 80's, prime-time TV, Cole Porter, or simply "America". I want to suggest a theme on the 1990's this year, so I was wondering if anyone could think of good pop/rock songs that would fit well in a musical environment such as this. (I know these types of questions aren't very reference-y, but you folks know a lot about this stuff).75.73.226.36 (talk) 16:42, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
- This site lists the top 100 songs from the 1990s: http://www.alaskajim.com/polls/2002topsongs1990s_results.htm. Some are more memorable than others, though. For example My Heart Will Go On, being used in the movie Titanic, is more timeless than many others, especially since the film was just re-released for the 100th anniversary of the sinking.

TCM Database edit
Hello, I'm not completely familiar with all of Wikipedia's linking policies, but I'd guess that the linking of many, many movies to the TCM Database must violate a conflict of interest policy of some kind since TCM offers many of these movies for sale on their website. I assume Wikipedia doesn't allow other retailers to create such links in their articles.

- TCM has the audacity to provide useful information, so it is part of the (Un)Holy Triumvirate, along with IMDb and AllRovi, in the external links section. I just wish I could get a fee for every TCM link I've added over the years. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:57, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Who is this monster man? What is his name? How much does he weigh? How tall is he?71.142.72.131 (talk) 23:17, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Would someone leave a comment on my IP's talk page when we figure it out?71.142.72.131 (talk) 23:17, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
- He certainly is big, but I bet the toy dog and tiny woman make him look even bigger than he really is. StuRat (talk) 23:30, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
- His name is Tim Blakely (the tiny woman's name is Geri Halliwell and the dog's name is "Daddy"}. ---Sluzzelin talk 01:36, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
