Nancy Stafford biographical error
Your biography on actress Nancy Stafford states that she left the 'Matlock' TV series at the end of the fifth season. Actually Ms. Stafford appeared in several episodes of the sixth season of y Griffith's courtroom series.

 * If you can find a reliable source that confirms this &mdash; your own observations don't count unfortunately &mdash; then you can add this information yourself to the relevant articles. That article, just like all Wikipedia articles, was written by volunteers just like you.  Comet Tuttle (talk) 20:01, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Country music song
Dear friends! Hello from Moscow, Russia! Please, help me to find a song, I heard many times on the country music radio when I was in Washington D.C. in1976-1988. Unfortunately I do not remember neither author nor name of the song. This song was about a man, who travells in country by a car, stops at a bar, talks with a girl and through the song there always comes up nomber 707 (airplane, room and so on). Thank you all very much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Viktorlena (talk • contribs) 18:34, 9 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Hmm. There's a song called "Boeing Boeing 707" by Roger Miller, who was a country singer, though it doesn't seem to match any of details you mentioned other than the number (I Googled for the lyrics). There's also a band called 707 which operated in the time frame you're asking about, though they were apparently a rock band rather than country (not that that would prevent them from releasing a country song if they wanted to, of course). Since they titled one of their albums 707 as well, perhaps they also used that number in one of their songs? If you click through the links at AllMusic perhaps you'll see something you recognize. Hope that helps! Matt Deres (talk) 02:22, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * This is just a stab in the dark, but there's a Bill Anderson song called "Double S" in which what recurs throughout is not "707" but the initials "SS"—in the woman's name (which the singer's persona never finds out), in the name of the bar (Seldom Seen), in the plane she's flying away on the next day (seven-oh-seven), in the name of the motel she's staying at (Surf and Sand), etc. Deor (talk) 02:45, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Viktorlena left a note on my talk page indicating that "Double S" is indeed the song that s/he was looking for, so I'm tagging this thread "resolved" to spare others from racking their brains. Deor (talk) 10:58, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Mark Valley's father
I wanted to know if Mark Valley, from Human Target (2009-present) and Christopher George, from Rat Pack (1966-1968) are son and father, or are related. They do look a lot alike. 70.77.37.132 (talk) 23:01, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * According to Lynda Day George, Christopher George's son is not biologically related to him; his son was his wife's from her first marriage. This is sourced to the IMDB, however, and I'm not sure how reliable their biographies are deemed. I haven't found anything yet to indicate another biological relation between the two. -- Kateshortforbob talk  18:46, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
