 * What is the source of the picture? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 15:33, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

 * That's about like saying to someone that John Smith is from America... It only narrows it down slightly. The article that the image seems to be drawn from is here. The author has replied to comments on the article though it's from 2012, so I'm not sure if he still contributes to the site or not. You might try contacting him. If he's still a writer, for Gizmodo or freelance or whatever, you can probably track him down. † dismas †|(talk) 20:39, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * No, that's not the original source. Using TinEye  you can find hundreds of pages using that photo (including quite a few gizmodo pages), and if you select the "Oldest first" sort, you can see that TinEye has been finding it since 2008 on what seem to be some Polish and Russian pages.  The earliest one they show is still available—I don't think it's appropriate to link to it from here—and let's just say it's not the sort of page that shows people's names. I'd be surprised if it's possible to find an answer unless you can recognize the same woman in some other photo. --76.71.5.114 (talk) 07:06, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I think you can note that most of the hits on TinEye have "porn" in the URL or page description. Therefore, it is reasonable to guess what kind of video that screenshot came from. 209.149.113.5 (talk) 11:50, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Noting that the other TinEye query I did recently in response to a question on this desk (see below) also showed 2008 as its earliest results, I think that's likely the year when TinEye got started. So we don't even know that the porn in question was produced in 2008; it could be older. --76.71.5.114 (talk) 01:17, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Why is Bob Kane largely credited as the sole creator of Batman if he (supposedly) didn't?
Everything I've read has been very heavily biased against Kane, and I was hoping someone could give a sort of neutral analysis as to why Kane's co-creators aren't given any credit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.24.87.96 (talk) 17:52, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * See the article Batman. It goes into great detail about creation and credit for creation, including an explanation that Finger is now credited. 209.149.113.5 (talk) 18:40, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * (E/C) Bob was a sharp man whose family had a background in art (his father was an engraver and artist) and had the skills and knowledge to know how to exploit his value to an employer (contrast Jerry Siegel, who was in a similar position but with an utterly different background). It was in his best interest to promote himself as the sole creator, so he did so. Bill Finger, who probably should be listed as the sole creator IMHO, had no head for business or how important he could have / should have been. I highly recommend Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters, and the Birth of the Comic Book by Gerald Jones for a well-referenced and engagingly written early history of comic books, including the creation and development of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, et al.

Jug band
Would somebody like to help me out with that? Best--Erdic (talk) 19:17, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

As it says in the lede to the article, "The term jug band is loosely used in referring to ensembles that also incorporate homemade instruments but that are more accurately called skiffle bands, spasm bands, or juke (or jook) bands (see juke joint) because they do not include a jug player."

 * Oh, okay, thanks! So, it's the looser meaning that is applied here, right?--Erdic (talk) 19:39, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
