Airing Dates and Locations

I can personally confirm that the Holiday Special aired at least twice more in Australia during the early 80's, after the dates given in the article. I first saw A New Hope on TV circa 1983 on Channel Ten Victoria, and I distinctly recall seeing the Holiday Special on the same channel twice afterwards (most likely 1983 and 1984 - I don't think it would've been aired again after 1986).

Sounds like good info. Add it to the article however you think it would fit. Adamwankenobi 02:37, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I'm not great at wording things. Adamwankenobi 02:26, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Recovery

I reverted the article for a reason, esp. as far as the reference to 'Recovery' was concerned. I was a regular viewer of 'Recovery', and to my knowledge, the Holiday Special never was aired as part of 'Recovery'. It may have been briefly excerpted, but I strongly doubt it was ever shown in its entirety. (The broadcaster wouldn't have had the legal rights to do so, unless they were willing to risk a lawsuit from Lucasfilm.) I plan on removing the reference once again, until such a claim can be backed up. Fastbak77 10:24, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

We don't know for sure, it could have. What we are listing on the page are any and all claims of the airings. I have no idea where to find information about this show, I've tried on the net. It sounds interesting that it could have aired, in the 90's. Someone didn't just put it there to make it up, they had to have a reason. I'm going to revert the article, just because of the remote possibility that it aired. Adamwankenobi 10:31, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Trust me, it can't have. I know you mean well, and I applaud your diligence, but the possibility isn't remote, it's nonexistent. (FWIW, I've left a message for the user who added the information.) Fastbak77 10:38, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
Unless you are a solicitor with knowledge of Lucasfilm's contracts and the airing schedule of the ABC, you are hardly qualified to judge legalities or broadcast times. This is a list of reported airings (the lists begins with, "The special reportedly aired in"), after all. I saw the Star Wars Holiday Special on Recovery. I would not have known of it otherwise. It is not my fault that you may have missed/forgotten it. — Yama 16:15, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Re: legalities - common sense should be the rule of thumb. However, are you sure you're not confusing it with something else - Jason of Star Command, perhaps? Fastbak77 02:34, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight

As a member of WikiProject Comics, I thought you might be interested in the Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight we have set up. Please feel free to vote on the articles listed, although bear in mind that a vote for a particular article means you are pledging to help improve the article. The goal of the collaboration is to improve articles to Featured Article status, as we feel Comics is under-represented in that area. Thanks for your help.

Manhunter changes.

Thank you. Thank you. I'd fallen into a period without time to work on anything at all, and then the addition of the "this isn't good" banner really threw me; I'd tried. But you're clearly _way_ more experienced at this than I am, and I really appreciate your work.  :) Sfeldon 22:31, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any thoughts about how to handle the revelations of Manhunter 13 and 14? Sfeldon 21:35, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
