Justified
I checked the Wikipedia article but it doesn't say. I also searched google but crapped out. Anyone know if when season three of Justified premieres?--108.46.103.88 (talk) 02:03, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell, there's no official date yet. -- King Öomie  16:12, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

ABC Sponsor for LANCELOT LINK
Who were the sponsors for ABC's LANCELOT LINK, agent for APE? I seem to remember the prime advertisor was a candy manufacturer...something with peanut butter in it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.97.55.92 (talk) 06:04, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Back to Life by Soul to Soul video
Is the desktop computer with the musical keyboard featured in the video actually a Fairlight CMI? 174.95.227.232 (talk) 06:16, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * It's definitely a Fairlight.--Michig (talk) 21:27, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Music played in an Indiana Jones film
In the Indiana Jones Filme 'Last Crusade' There is a scene where Indiana has gone to Berlin to rscue the Grail diary. The scene shows the Nazis burning books and a piece of music is playing. My question is what is the official name of this piece of music, as the tune is also the C'mon you Reds by Status Quo for Manchester United, but I require the actual name. Probably classical? thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mckenziestafford (talk • contribs) 11:49, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * According to Come On You Reds, the song includes the tune of a folk song called Darby Kelly (though that assertion has a tag in the article). AndrewWTaylor (talk) 12:02, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * "Come On You Reds" is in fact an adaptation of the earlier Status Quo song "Burning Bridges". I can confirm that the folk song referenced in it is "Darby Kelly", having learnt it at school. Here is the sheet music. --TammyMoet (talk) 17:43, 1 November 2011 (UTC) (Sorry I can't work out how to change the reference in the COYR article - please can someone do this, and link me on my talk page to a how to? Thank you. --TammyMoet (talk) 17:48, 1 November 2011 (UTC))
 * Not sure if we can use a musical score as a source...???... if you play the midi version it's definitely the same tune, but is that WP:OR. You must have been at primary school at the same time as I was if you learnt it from the Singing Together programme. Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:56, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * lol! Yes indeedy! Surely a musical score is a published source and perfectly acceptable! --TammyMoet (talk) 09:19, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * On this video, it was interesting to also hear a bit of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" ("glory, glory, Man United"). ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 11:25, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

looking for a pc game similar to AOE2.
I'm looking for this early 2000s pc game. it was really similar to Age of empires 2, had fine graphics (better then age of empires 2, but still as old) it had the Ages like age of empires... imperial age .. and it also had a more modern age. :s :(

You also had the same view as in Age of empires 2, above and on the buildings.

 * Probably Civilization (series), I'd wager. 67.185.1.213 (talk) 00:54, 2 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, probably not. It would be difficult to confuse the Sid Meier's Civilization games with the AoE games; Civ is a world-view city-level game, and AoE is a local theatre, individual-building level game.  There were a LOT of AoE clones out there; Rise of Nations was probably the best known; it borrows some elements from the Civ series, but is fundementally an AoE clone.  Empire Earth is another AoE clone which was fairly popular.  -- Jayron  32  02:42, 2 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm going to second that it was probably Rise of Nations. By the way, calling a video game a "clone" is offensive to the developer (unless the developer is one of those low down sneaky cloners).  Certainly Rise of Nations was a great RTS, as was AoE II; but it was not a clone.  Comet Tuttle (talk) 18:35, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, they are well made and quite fun to play; but the fact remains that they resemble AoE rather strongly in terms of game play. Since AoE came first, it is quite unlikely that the elements of the later games were invented out of whole cloth.  For the record, the first successful game of this type was The Settlers, in the sense of the general gameplay (gather resources-construct buildings-create units-attack enemy) and there are dozens of such games; technically they're all decendents of The Settlers, including the Warcraft and Starcraft series, AoE, and the others you mention.  -- Jayron  32  23:31, 4 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Empire Earth is another contender; rather like Rise of Nations it had territories but was otherwise similar to AoEII. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 19:47, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
