music trivia
I am trying to find a wikipedia entry that I read awhile back and I can't seem to remember who it was about. I am looking for a song that was originally written for the girlfriend of the songwriter and was later renamed (and became famously known) for the girlfriend of a fellow band member's fiance — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.20.128.73 (talk) 00:23, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Does this information help with getting this article out of "orphan" status?
Hello thanks for your help, I see that the picture I donated has shown up on the wiki article I am writing you about. I work for the company that represents Oryn the Rebel an American rapper out of Boston, it says that his article is an orphan and may not fit the music guidelines I would like to introduce articles that prove some of the musical accomplishments written about in the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oryn_the_Rebel here is a link to the record "Underground heat volume one" http://www.rarehiphop.com/mixtapes_details.php?id=1 Oryn the Rebel produced this record along with Grand Master Caz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandmaster_Caz featuring artist such as Freeway http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeway_(rapper) on number 14 and artist Shock G http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_G on number 18 of the Underground heat volume one mixtape. Please note that Oryn the Rebel is also known as Oryn the rebel, O-ry-n, O-ry-n the rebel, and oryntherebel his other records can be found at the following links http://www.icuentertainment.net/#!oryn-the-rebel/crkr http://soundcloud.com/oryn http://www.last.fm/music/oryn+the+rebel http://www.datpiff.com/Oryn-the-rebel-The-Best-Of-A-Rebel-mixtape.361533.html https://itunes.apple.com/dk/artist/oryn-the-rebel/id473529967

 * This really belongs on the help desk and not the reference desk, and your question has already been answered there, at Help desk/Archives/2013 February 16. As was explained to you, "orphan" simply means that no other Wikipedia article contains links to your article. The notability problem, on the other hand, can be solved only by adding to the article references to reliable, independent sources that treat the topic in detail; and the links you have provided above appear either to be nonindependent (i.e., they're promotional material) or to be nonsubstantive. No one's doubting that the man exists or that he has something to do with music, but only if there is subsantive discussion of the person and his work by noninvolved sources should there be a Wikipedia article about him.

debut with comedy film and never thenceforth
hi, are there filmmakers who had their debut with comedy films and never (or rarely) did comedy films later in their career. If so name those — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.120.141.254 (talk) 07:00, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * John Carpenter comes immediately to mind, debuting with Dark Star then going on to create the Halloween franchise. Tevildo (talk) 02:38, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Rob Reiner started with This is Spinal Tap, but didn't do many comedies later. Staecker (talk) 03:07, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Rob Reiner did a LOT of comedies later, When Harry Met Sally..., The Sure Thing, The Princess Bride, North, The Story of Us, Alex & Emma, Rumor Has It…, The Bucket List, etc, I'd say if you counted all of his films, he directed more comedies than anything else, though he has a few very notably non-comedy films as well.  -- Jayron  32  21:29, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
