Ol' Brown Ears
Hi, Brad! I was just curious where you found out that Ol' Brown Ears is Back was released on April 6, 1993. Also, would you happen to know any other dates of CD releases? -- Ken (talk) 02:30, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Props
Big up for the visual Sesame Street music category pages that you started, ’specially the hip-hop one, since you used that term instead of the much-hated r-word. Peace. —MuzikJunky 21:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
SS Video Player
Thanks for changing the all-caps titles back to lower-case. But why is the list divided into two sections? It seems that near the middle it repeats the whole alphabetical order again. -- MuppetDude 17:27, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Never mind... -- MuppetDude 17:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. I was adding a big list of segments and did it in stages -- copied the text directly from the video player, then I had to de-capitalized the titles and than alphabetize and integrate them into the list. It took a few edits to get it all in form. But it should be alright now. -- Brad D. (talk) 17:56, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Mother Goose
Hey, Brad! Nice to see you putting all this work into the Mother Goose stuff, but I question Sir Thomas Tucker. I gather you're trying to avoid character disambiguation, but if "Sir Thomas" was just a title he acquired long after the story ends, I don't see much benefit to making that the main character page. If in dialogue he calls himself "Little Tommy Tucker" (which is what he said in the portion I saw on the DVD), that makes far more sense. Same thing with Prince Humpty Dumpty. Is he ever actually addressed as such or is he just Humpty Dumpty, who his mother called Prince of Eggs? -- Andrew Leal (talk) 19:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Tommy Tucker is a questionable one, he goes by "Tommy", "Tommy Tucker" and "Little Tommy Tucker" in the episode dialog. But at the end of the story (when he is adopted) he becomes "Sir Thomas Tucker". I went with the fuller, more formal name to avoid awkward disambiguation. If you think it should be changed feel free to make an appropriate move. "Little Tommy Tucker" would probably work just as well.
- As for Humpty, he calls himself "Prince Humpty Dumpty" throughout the whole story (as does his mother, sibblings and Coutchie-Coulou). I think Prince Humpty Dumpty is the proper name for his page - he doesn't really go by just "Humpty Dumpty" (except in the prince's riddle and some of Mother Goose's introduction). -- Brad D. (talk) 19:47, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Fair enough on Humpty, then, but Tucker should definitely be moved. Disambiguation is better than a misleadingly titled page and reaching just to avoid it. I'll go ahead and change it. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 19:59, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Sorry
Sorry i didn't know about the 3 pack DVD of the Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss and all. I had found these DVDs at Walmart and thought these were the ones they were talking about. So sorry i erased the others and you had to rewirte them in. -- Kyle (talk) 10:00, 08 March 2008 (UTC)
- No problem...and I didn't have to rewrite them, as nothing is ever lost on a wiki. ;) -- Brad D. (talk) 04:16, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Muppets.go.com
Hey cool, I'm really glad you had that stuff to archive! —Scott (talk) 05:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- I went through the site and "saved" a whole bunch of stuff back in November. I figured that one day it would go the way of the old Muppet World and would regret not having a record of the stuff (and archive.org doesn't really save Flash-based sites that well). I just never got around to uploading it, and then somewhat forgot I had it. I have a bunch more shots of things from it - such as all 19 character profiles from the Central Casting area and Piggy's "Sow and the City" blog posts. -- Brad D. (talk) 06:39, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Emmet Otter musical
Hi Brad: I love that you bring news here, but we ought to talk about sourcing. Muppet Newsflash isn't a primary source, and we can't use that as the only source for an article. As far as I can tell, the only source for the information you posted on Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas (stage show) is a thread on Muppet Central.
Phrases like "it has been reported" and "Paul Williams is said to be involved in the project" should never appear in wiki articles. We need to say where it was reported, and who said it. We need to have quotes and references. Otherwise, we become a repository for message-board rumors and wishful thinking. -- Danny (talk) 08:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Betina and Belinda
Hi Brad -- This is going back a long ways, but you added a sentence to Betina and Belinda Cratchit about Goelz and Whitmire performing the characters as a parody of Frank Oz and Miss Piggy. Do you remember the source for that? -- Danny (talk) 06:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- I cited it, and rephrased it as a quote. It was from the DVD commentary (right now, DVD commentaries and documentaries are always easier for me to check than university news databases). -- Andrew Leal (talk) 02:11, 15 February 2008 (EST)
- Andrew got it! I knew it came from something on the DVD. Thanks for cleaning it up. -- Brad D. (talk) 07:06, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the CD's!
Hey, Brad! Thanks for all your work on the upcoming Sesame CD's! I found the first 2 yesterday on Amazon by accident, and nearly had a heart attack! I looked around various Muppet sites, but I couldn't figure out why nobody else knew about it! And then today I saw that you linked to the Muppet Newsflash, and they broke the story today! I'm so glad to see cover pictures and track listings! I hope that they eventually reissue the first 6 albums, but having The Muppet Alphabet Album back in print is a great start! -- Ken (talk) 07:19, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
