Requesting a Webpage to be made for Carvelli
Hello. I'm a web designer for a hip-hop artist named Bill Carvelli (www.carvelli.com)

Due to his success and notability, I was requesting to have a professional Wikipedia article created. He has been referenced in Aria Johnson's page, when she was featured in his single "Something's Up Tonight".
 * There are no professional Wikipedia article writers. This entire project has been created by amateurs.  However, you can (and should) request that an amateur create this page by going to Requested articles and requesting an article.  Be aware that, if you want someone to work on your request, you should include reliable source material written by people who have no connection to your client.  That is, Wikipedia articles must come from reliable source material, and that source material shouldn't be written by anyone who has a vested interest in promoting your client.  Things like reliable books, magazines, scholarly journals, etc.  or websites with a similar sort of editorial control, and which have high standards of academic integrity.  I hope that helps!   -- Jayron  32  02:58, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually there are professional Wikipedia article writers. Try wikipediawriters.com.--Shantavira|feed me 14:35, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, sort of. There are people who try to take your money for writing articles.  This is a controversial practice, and not well accepted by much of the community here.  See WP:COI which has a section on the problems paid editing introduces.  It does not guarantee problems, but editing Wikipedia for profit carries a certain air of unrespectability that tends to tarnish the effort.  -- Jayron  32  14:43, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Dance scene in Stormy Weather
In Stormy Weather (1943 film) there is a big dance scene that lasts over 6 minutes. Was that filmed in one long continuous shot? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 04:29, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
 * One of my favorite scenes in moviedom! That dance scene, featuring Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers, is pure joy every time. Now I get to watch it again with your question in mind. --jpgordon:==( o ) 23:08, 31 August 2014 (UTC)


 * That is the scene I'm talking about. Some of us were discussing whether or not it is one continuous dance or if there are edits from different takes.  Do you know? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 23:15, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
 * No, that's why I have to watch it again! --jpgordon:==( o ) 00:14, 1 September 2014 (UTC)


 * To me, it looks like there is a discontinuity when the Nicholas brothers go down to the floor and another one when they start up the stairs. There are edits, and they seem to be in a little different positions.  Others disagree with me. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:17, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Ottawa Senators signature
I found this signature (link) on an older CCM manufactured Ottawa Senators jersey. Who knows this signature? Thanks --MB-one (talk) 19:18, 29 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Number 11 is most famously Daniel Alfredsson - a Google Images search for his signature brings up more just like this one. Adam Bishop (talk) 20:13, 29 August 2014 (UTC)


 * That was super fast. Thanks a lot, Adam! --MB-one (talk) 00:37, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
