Translation Format

Hi, Henrik! I'm trying something new on some of the international pages, such as this one, a chart to easily present the voice cast and character name translations without having either two separate lists or using parentheses (probably work best on shows with relatively small casts and not things like Die Muppet Show, or those where only two or three actors dub everyone, but I'm not sure yet). Definitely not for those where no names are changed, the standard format works for those. Since you do a lot of the work on the dub stuff, I'd like to know what you think. Thanks! -- Andrew Leal (talk) 08:05, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Hehe forgot about this message when I started to add the stuff from the TMS season 3 boxset. It looks quite good, it could surely be the new format for dub pages. You say it should only be used with a small cast, how do you define small ? Also do you think it's smart to have different formats for pages about dubs ? Henrik (talk) 19:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm still experimenting, so I'm glad you asked. I'm mainly thinking of situations like Die Muppet Show where there's more than 20 people involved and with recasts and actors playing multiple characters and swapping for singing voices and so on, I'm not sure a table would work. Le Muppet Show would be a similar case, where six people dubbed everyone and only four characters were significantly renamed (outside of the usual species translations). So my concern would probably apply mainly to the Muppet Show dubs and possibly a few of the movie dubs where six people dubbed every character and so on. But like I said, this is something new, so feel free to experiment on any where you think it works. At the very least, I think we could standardize it for Sesame, Fraggle, and Bear in the Big Blue House, but the point of the table is to make the info easier to digest and in the examples I mentioned, I think it would actually be harder and just take up more space. So I think practicality would outweigh uniformity, but like I said, I just came up with this last night. I'll try it on a few more pages later myself (De Freggels is a perfect example; two lists which can easily be merged into a chart without undue repetition or complexity) -- Andrew Leal (talk) 20:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

And De Freggels is done (though we're missing some character names). -- Andrew Leal (talk) 20:43, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Sesamstrasse Guest Stars

Hi, Henrik! Just so you know, Category:Sesamstrasse Actors and Category:International Sesame Street Actors are intended only for actors who were regulars or recurring (I edited the Sesamstrasse actors category text to make that clearer). Guest stars all go in Category:International Celebrities. If a guest star later joins the cast, they go in all three (At some point, we might be able to split the latter by show or type, but not yet (since it also includes co-productions where only one or two guest stars are known, and so on). If a guest star later plays a regular/recurring character, as with Otto Waalkes, the article goes in all three. I hope this makes sense. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 17:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Reverts

Thanks for all the reverts on that guy! -- Wendy (talk) 21:40, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Np, I believe he is a returning vandal his edits are similar to the other vandal edits on the same pages. Can't understand they bother coming back Henrik 21:42, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

You did it again! Thanks a lot! I'd make you an admin if I could. --MuppetVJ 16:36, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Once again NP. I actually waited a bit before I started to revert his edits, since I could not stop him in it I thought it was better to let him do the edits and then revert when he slowed down or stopped. Henrik (talk) 18:36, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Surfin' with Ollie

Wow. Tom Carroll and Layne Beachley are great finds. I knew a few celebrities had appeared with Ollie, but hadn't been able to find details, names, or pictures (aside from one where the person isn't identified). What a neat find. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 17:54, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I came upon the pictures by a pure coincidence, and unfortunately I don't have any details about the appearances. Henrik 20:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Boo & poo

Hi Henrik! I love all the Mopatop stuff you've been adding -- it's great to have that stuff on the wiki.

I have a question about Episode 106: Ghosts; there might be a translation question there. You said that the ghost leaves a "poo" instead of a "boo". In America, "poo" is another word for shit, so I'm wondering if it means something different in the UK, or if something got translated. Are you watching the shows in English? -- Danny (talk) 20:04, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I do have them in english, and I was actually unsure about that part myself. I will create a video clip of it now and upload it on you tube, so you can figure out the spelling of the particularly sound they make. Henrik 20:08, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

That would be great, thanks! Let me know when it's up. -- Danny (talk) 20:12, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

It took a bit longer than planed, ran into a few problems with my equipment. the clip is here Henrik 21:01, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Sounds to me like the ghost said what sounds like "pew", which sometimes in America is written as "P.U.", something one would say when smelling something bad. --Dave Splurge 21:43, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I would say "pew". That's a little weird, but it makes more sense than "poo". Thanks for posting that, Henrik, that helped a lot! -- Danny (talk) 22:35, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

vandal

Hey Henrik! Thanks for reverting that vandalism earlier. I went ahead and blocked that user, so they won't be around for a little while. —Scott (talk) 14:27, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Np. I noticed it just before I added the sketch picture. But waited to do anything about it, mainly because it would be pointless if he was still active. Then I saw the change to the Screaming Thing and then it hit me that all the changes were kinda similar to changes made by vandals before. And since it seems that he was done I went ahead and reverting them. Henrik 15:14, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

The Muppets on Muppets

Hi, Henrik -- I just looked at my comments on the Muppets on Muppets page again, and I realized that I didn't say anything appreciative about all the work you put into that page. You took all those pictures, and you took time to write all that text. I think it was too much for the page, but I still appreciate all the work that you put into it. I hope you don't feel too bummed about it. You do great stuff. -- Danny (talk) 23:17, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry, I was actually in doubt about it before I created it, so it's ok. Henrik 02:39, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
