Sort of asked question.
Earlier I have this friend that played a game and looked that its page/article, and around the time when it was "page protected" from a problem, it was about some MOS on user reviews. And I posted a side question there (as seen, from the message; it might of sounded like a rushed question, I was going to a night shift) about it. Then for asking that, Do I copy it over to the games' talk page, or wait from the "wikiproject?"
Then upon when I asked some time ago, the asked question fell under something to this related MOS at the sentence to "storefronts." Tainted-wingsz (talk) 17:45, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
- Is your question "Do we link to a game's steam page?"?
- Personally I think the answer is no, unless it's a Valve game, we should not be linking to a particular vendor. We don't link to Amazon for stuff.
- But for a more definitive answer the video game wikiproject would be the place to ask. I don't think it would be a problem if you started a new thread on the talk-page for that question. Or you could be patient. It's been less than 24hrs since you asked your question. ApLundell (talk) 18:26, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
- Ah, how do I do that? it's just that at the time when the info section started about the "steam user reviews" I wasn't sure to add it there, when the question ended. Or start a new one?
- As right now I'm busy finishing up something from a job shift and the billing/ head boss to payroll wanted some other info. ;It's one of those job areas where you work, but the clocking out mechanizm was old as it collects the info on a computer machine and my job place are trying to repair it or buy a new set. So then the head payroll person might of needed to call me back, if I ended the shift too early or too soon. So I might need to go back to the building and wait in a conference room. While it's written up for that full 7 hours, etc. It's been happening to a few people there. Tainted-wingsz (talk) 19:12, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
It just gotten answered from the wikiproject. As to take the info out. Tainted-wingsz (talk) 20:45, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
- What, if I may, is "a game's steam page?" --69.159.62.113 (talk) 21:32, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
- Steam (software) is a platform for buying and downloading games. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:36, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Viewing of 1930s Warner Bros. movie scripts
I’m interested in viewing the scripts of some of the movies Warner Bros. made in the 1930s, like 42nd Street (1933) and Captain Blood (1935). And that’s why I was wondering, is the office of Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara ever open for public viewing of movie scripts? Yellow Sunstreaker (talk) 00:19, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- What makes you think the CEO has old scripts lying around his office? You're much better off checking out the Warner Bros. Archives at USC's School of Cinematic Arts. See here for details. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:14, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- There's also something called the Internet Movie Script Database and others of its ilk, but they don't seem to have older films. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:01, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

I saw a TV show or movie back in 2013 on TV...
I don't remember much about the style or where I saw it. Just a couple scenes.
1) A blonde-haired lady in a red dress stood in a pitch-black room which disappeared.
2) Using lock picks or a set of keys, a man with a woman tried to escape a room. But The room got dark and closed in on them. Someone said during the end credits?, "Whoever is watching us is definitely testing us".
3) They (the man and woman) encountered a rack full of weapons in a room. Was it on a alien ship? Not sure. Thought it was maybe a science fiction show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.252.245.194 (talk) 13:27, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Background music
What's the background music called in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnzlWD97ogY? The comment section says it's from Kevin MacLeod, but what's the work's title? --2001:16B8:2EFF:EC00:61D9:230F:1346:8EBE (talk) 10:44, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

1970's or 80's Haunted Movie
Trying to find 1970's or 80's scary movie, where in a scene these teenagers are in a haunted house, see a life size clown doll sitting in a rocky chair. They go to a closet near by & suddenly find the same looking clown in the closet & jokingly slap it up, only to turn around a see that the rocky chair is 'now' vacant.

'Full Metal Jacket' location
Where was the hooker street scene in Full Metal Jacket filmed? The article doesn't say. Presumably it was a constructed set, but was it at Beckton Gas Works like the war scenes, or somewhere else? --Viennese Waltz 10:23, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- Isle of Dogs, according to IMDb, which states the Da Nang scenes were shot. Look at the script to confirm that it's the same place (search for "Sinatra" and scroll up a bit). Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 12:39, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Rangastham US collections was wrongly entered
In your reference it is showing $3,38 million but it is mentioned as $3.8 PLEASE CORRECT — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.101.67.166 (talk) 10:43, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- You should either correct it yourself- or raise this on the talk page for the article. It is unlikely that anyone involved with the article will read your comment here. Please provide a good source for your correction - this will not be done on your word alone. Wymspen (talk) 10:51, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- I wondered if 175.101 meant that the article does already have a reference cited that disagrees with the article, but I couldn't find the article to check it. According to search, there is no Wikipedia article containing the word or name Rangastham. --69.159.62.113 (talk) 20:07, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Least goals scored by sweeping NHL team
Vegas recently swept the first round of playoffs with 7 goals scored. Is this an all-time record? 37.244.218.48 (talk) 14:32, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- Possibly - I'm sure other editors will confirm or refute. One thing to be aware of - the first round has not always been a "best of seven" so there may have been winners with less goals when there were less games. MarnetteD|Talk 14:36, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- Only if it's limited to a best-of-3/5/7 series. The NHL playoffs used to have 2-game total goals series. GoodDay (talk) 20:17, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- Let's exclude the aggregate score because that's some serious antiquity. I'm not buying the 2-game sweep story either. 46.188.148.189 (talk) 20:41, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
