Funny interview
does anyone know where on the Internet I can find a transcript (think that's the word I mean) of an interview done by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman about Good Omens- with an interviewer who was unaware the book in question was a work of fiction? (I'll leave what they were smoking to think that one up up to your imagination) Library Seraph (talk) 00:50, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Singer question
who is the singer of 揮著翅膀的女孩?


 * Although I assume you can speak whatever language that is, it'd probably be helpful if you could translate it into English. Another tip is if you have a question, create a descriptive title and write your question underneath. Thanks. Chevymontecarlo . 11:23, 1 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I am not into that music, but I believe it is Joey Yung. -- k a i n a w &trade; 12:50, 1 April 2010 (UTC)


 * From the section title, for just a hot second I thought someone was raising a question about sewing machines. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 03:45, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

April Fools on Wikipedia
How are the articles started, do people start writing them months in advance? How are they not just deleted straight away? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.125.64 (talk) 16:43, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * see Wikipedia talk:April Fool's Main Page. Steve Baker's comment at talk:Main_Page also discusses the process of writing the articles. Rmhermen (talk) 16:46, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * To be clear, all the April Fools articles are 100% true.
 * The "Joke" is that Wikipedia is pretending to post hoaxes, but actually everything is true.
 * ( For example, There really are some T. Rex living in Africa.   However, if you click the article you'll realize that more than one species can be abbreviated "T. Rex". ) APL (talk) 16:59, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

New Super Mario Bros. DS (!)
Hi, I know this is a pretty old game but I want to complete it. Does anyone know where I can find the last coin in the World 1 castle? And also the last coin in the World 7 castle. Thanks. Chevymontecarlo. 19:10, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Have you tried a subject specific site such as www.ign.com ? They have many walkthroughs and such.  I'd be surprised if this game isn't listed.  And sometimes such sites are faster for you since you wouldn't have to wait for someone familiar with the game to come along and answer.  Or someone interested enough to do your searching for you.  If you already have done this research, it's usually helpful to point out to us a summary of the sites you've already searched.  Dismas |(talk) 19:46, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I like Gamefaqs.com. The first walk-through looks pretty good. Evidently in the first world castle, you have to go through a hidden pipe to find the third star coin. Buddy431 (talk) 20:11, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the links. I will check them out :) Chevymontecarlo . 10:16, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

 * I found the last coin in the World 1 castle. It's in a tube hidden at the top of the screen after you get the second coin. You have to jump really high on the longest rope after you get the second coin in order to see the green tube where the third coin is hiddden. Go into the tube and the coin is on the right.

Do you mean I need to get a mushroom that will make Mario smaller in order to jump that high or can I do this whilst Mario is of normal size? Chevymontecarlo. 07:11, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * You can do it normal sized, but you have to go on the longest rope in that level (you'll know) and just jump, I guess. The tube is hidden at the top of the screen and when you jump it comes into view.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  16:43, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Just did it. Thanks for the help. Chevymontecarlo. 03:44, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
