more famous dancer
Please add in your list of the famous Dancers - Vakhtang Chabukiani. He was a star in Russian and Georgian ballet. You have Plisetskaya and do not have him? It is strange. He was the best in the Soviet Union. Thank you If you need my help, I can creat infomation about him. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.255.200.77 (talk) 02:17, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * There is no List of famous dancers at Wikipedia, so I have no idea where you saw such a list. There is, however, an extensive article about him at Vakhtang Chabukiani. It could use some improvement in the area of referencing, but it is otherwise extensive and well written.  -- Jayron  32  02:32, 17 March 2011 (UTC)


 * On the contrary, there are lots of lists of famous dancers on Wikipedia: List of Russian ballet dancers, List of dancers, List of dance personalities, List of Georgians (country)...  As to why Vakhtang Chabukiani is not included - that's because nobody added him yet. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:02, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, I know there are lists of dancers, just that I didn't know which one the OP was complaining about, as List of famous dancers, the title they gave, does not exist. -- Jayron  32  12:39, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think it was as precise as that, Jayron32. They mentioned "your list of the famous Dancers", which could mean many things, including a category.  --   Jack of Oz   [your turn]  12:53, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Does anyone know why Aquarium from The Carnival of the Animals reminds me of Harry Potter?
Does anyone know why Aquarium from The Carnival of the Animals reminds me of Harry Potter? i.e. was it on one of the soundtracks? BlueWaves9 (talk) 06:56, 17 March 2011 (UTC)


 * You're not the only one, according to Google! I don't think it was in the movies, but modern film composers are, well, let's say "easily inspired" by older orchestral works. For example, any science fiction soundtrack is pretty much just Holst's Planets. Adam Bishop (talk) 07:42, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, okay. Thanks. BlueWaves9 (talk) 08:21, 17 March 2011 (UTC)


 * THe theme music from Edward Scissorhands sounds like it as well. 92.15.14.45 (talk) 10:23, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm looking for this CNN newscast of New Orleans in Spring 2006 - with Anderson Cooper. Please help me find it?
It was between March 20th-26th, 2006, and Anderson Cooper made a news story about college students volunteering their Spring Break down in New Orleans to help clean up after Katrina. CNN's Gulf Coast Bureau filmed at a volunteer compound that used to be a warehouse. I was there, and in the crowd that CNN filmed. (I wasn't interviewed, but I'm sure I was seen on the cameras.)

I haven't seen it since. Would anyone please be able to find that footage? Thanks a lot! --70.179.169.115 (talk) 08:13, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, that's probably it, but it doesn't seem to play. I'll keep looking. BlueWaves9 (talk) 08:24, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Here's the transcript: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0603/23/sbt.01.html Apparently it's impossible to view videos on CNN.com that are that old. Not sure why. Good luck! BlueWaves9 (talk) 08:30, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
