The Studio
Can anyone tell me whether the NTL film channel The Studio was ever available on other platforms such as Sky? Googling the subject I found articles and discussions from before its launch that suggested it would be carried by other providers, but nothing that says this actually happened.

 * I've just found the answer. It didn't according to this, which claims its absence from other broadcasters led to its downfall. Paul MacDermott (talk) 12:22, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

When was the song Ay, Jalisco, no te rajes! written?
Does anybody know when the popular Mexican ranchera song Ay, Jalisco, no te rajes! was written? I know that it was featured in a 1941 film of the same name, but I am unsure whether the song was written originally for that film, or if it had been written previous to its inclusion in that film. I also know that it was written by Manuel Esperón and Ernesto Cortázar Sr., who I believe wrote music primarily for movies, so this leads me to believe that the song was written originally for the 1941 film, but I do not know for sure. Can anyone help?--Jpcase (talk) 19:48, 10 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I have found a catalog of copyright entries from the library of congress here |here It lists Ay, Jalisco, no te rajes! then says "de la pelicula" which I believe translates "of the film." Would this be sufficient evidence to prove that the song was written originally for the movie? The catalog also lists the date (I believe that this is the copyright date) November 5, 1941. IMDB lists the film's Mexican release date as November 12, 1941 and its U.S. release date as April 23, 1943.--Jpcase (talk) 22:55, 10 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Can nobody help me? All I need to know is whether a copyright catalog saying that a song is "of the film" means that the song was originally written for the film.--Jpcase (talk) 15:21, 12 June 2012 (UTC)


 * It would be nice if the song title were translated at some point in the article. No te rajes means something like "do not tear" (as in crying, not ripping). It's also missing the inverted exclamation point somewhere. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 10:31, 13 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I've wanted to include a translation of the song's title, but there are numerous translations, and I'm not sure which one to use. I have seen it translated as "Don't chatter", "Don't give up", "Don't backdown", and "Don't backslide." I wouldn't think that I should use all of them, but which should I use? "Don't backslide" is the official translation for the film title. As for the inverted exclamation point, you're probably right, but I'm not sure how to best go about retitling the page. Will all redirect pages be automatically updated to point to the new article, or will that have to be done manually? Also is there a way to see all articles that link to the page, so that I can update those? By the way, you don't happen to know the answer to my initial question, do you? I've been trying to find the answer for close to a year now, but have had no luck.--Jpcase (talk) 00:41, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
