hi!i would like to know how to get or what qualifications do i need to get a job in media field? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.244.78.64 (talk) 05:45, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What job, and what part of the media? --Jayron32 06:04, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever job or part of the media your looking at an unpaid internship can always and only help, it not only gets your name and work ethic out there but it gives you perspective if this is the right career for you.^{Market St.⧏}_{⧐ Diamond Way} 14:30, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Film editors of The Brady Bunch[edit]

The article of Marshall Neilan originally said that his son Marshall Neilan, Jr. worked on almost every Brady Bunch episode, which is not true. I made changes to the article. Where should I mention that Bill E. Garst worked on several episodes, and that Frank Capacchione and Bernard Matis also worked on a few episodes? 108.0.244.168 (talk) 07:17, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The statement that Marshall Jr. worked on almost every episode was not referenced, so you were entitled to remove it. Unfortunately your replacement wording isn't referenced either, so it's no more useful than the text it replaces and someone else is equally entitled to change or remove it if they choose. You are most welcome to improve the article, but you should provide a reference to a reliable published source (not personal experience or anecdote) for any content you add. - Ka renjc 17:04, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

eevee evolution in pokemon silver[edit]

i'm playing Pokemon Silver on a Gameboy Color emulator on my PC, and the Eevee i got from Bill... well, i can't see how friendly it is towards me. When i go to the friendship checker woman, she just tells me "It's kinda cute", which is the same thing she tells me for my Kingler. For every other Pokemon, she tells something like "You should treat it better. It's not used to you" or "I see that it trusts you very much". But not for these two.

When i got Eevee from Bill, it was at level 20. Now, it's level 21. Is it because it's just too early to check friendship? Should i hang on to it more so that it "gets to know me" and then go check on the friendship?

But, i had got my Krabby at level 15 or 16, and now it's evolved and at level 29, but the same message "It's kinda cute" has been displayed every time i try to check on its friendship.

Is this some kind of glitch?

Please help me.

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.197.246.197 (talk) 13:31, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know anything about that game, but I know that Bulbapedia (here: [1]) is the place to go for all your Pokemon questions. They even have an IRC channel, so if you can't find your answer in their articles, you could probably hop on IRC and get an answer very quickly. SemanticMantis (talk) 14:29, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

African history 20th century films[edit]

Besides Last King of Scotland and Hotel Rwanda, is there any other films dealings with African modern history in 20th Century?--Donmust90 (talk) 18:50, 14 May 2013 (UTC)Donmust90[reply]

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, and a few that are set in Africa during World War II. I can think of plenty of US/European films set in Africa, and plenty of African films, but am struggling with those depicting 20th century history. --Michig (talk) 19:04, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a couple of links with some more ideas: [2], [3]. --Michig (talk) 19:41, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Blood Diamond is set in Sierra Leone in the late 20th century. The African Queen is about World War I in Africa. The various remakes of Beau Geste, of which the 1939 version is probably the best known, are set in French North Africa. There are are also many World War II films set, at least partially, in North Africa including The Big Red One, the various Indiana Jones films, Casablanca, The Desert Rats, Tobruk, The English Patient etc. While the most famous adaptation of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness was reset in Vietnam of the 1960s (Apocalypse Now), there were several made-for-TV adaptations which may or may not be available on DVD. There's Raid on Entebbe, a made-for-TV film about the real-life Operation Entebbe. There have been at least two film versions of the South African novel Cry, the Beloved Country. A Dry White Season is a film about the Soweto riots in South Africa in the 1970s. That's all I can come up with right now. I'm sure there are many more. --Jayron32 20:34, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cry Freedom, Breaker Morant (film), Young Winston, Gandhi, The Constant Gardener (film) and The Power of One (film) were set either entirely or to a significant degree in Africa. -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 20:57, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I rather enjoyed Endgame. Evanh2008 ^{(talk|contribs)} 21:03, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dark of the Sun. (Bring on the chainsaws!) Also see Category:Films set in Africa. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:37, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Mummy (1999 film). Or more seriously Patton (film), the first part of which was set in North Africa. Hot Stop 01:20, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

War Witch about the Congo civil war. --Xuxl (talk) 08:38, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Kitchen Toto is about the Mau Mau Uprising in Kenya Colony. Also set in Kenya are Out of Africa (film), White Mischief and Born Free. Wah-Wah (film) is set during the preparations for independence in Swaziland. There are also a number of French films dealing with the Algerian War, including The Little Soldier, Lost Command, Intimate Enemies, Wild Reeds, Cartouches Gauloises, Outside the Law (2010 film) and most recently Ce que le jour doit à la nuit (2012) ("What the day owes the night") which we don't have an article for yet.

Lots of American and European films about Africa mentioned above, the majority of which are about the experiences of "Westerners" in Africa. African film-makers also make films about Africa. The (rather sparse) Cinema of Africa article is a place to start, as is Category:African films. Senegal and Mali had/have small but culturally important film industries centred on a handful of directors (e.g. Ousmane Sembène and Souleymane Cissé) who sometimes address historical themes - not necessarily 20th Century (as I just re-read the question before posting!) - in their work (e.g. Ceddo - 17th Century Senegal and Emitaï - World War II). The Nigerian film industry is enormous, though much of its output is cheap and cheerful, and/or contemporary and genre-based. Egypt has a large film industry that is long-established and both culturally and commercially important; according to our article, three-quarters of all Arabic language films (across Africa and Asia) are Egyptian. Youssef Chahine is one of the most notable post-war directors and some of his films were on historical subjects (e.g. Adieu Bonaparte - the 18th Century French occupation of Egypt). Algeria is also (partly) responsible for a couple of notable films about its 20th Century history (in addition to those noted above by Alansplodge) - Days of Glory about African soldiers recruited to fight for the French in WWII - and most famously The Battle of Algiers, directed by an Italian and a film which is ranked extremely highly in the canon of world cinema. Not an area of cinema in which I have much knowledge - I just know a few names of prominent directors but have minimal familiarity with their work - but I hope some of the references can provide some African African historical films.

Sonic Generations Jet, Wave and Storm appearances?[edit]

According to Sonic Wikia, [Jet the Hawk], [Wave the Swallow] and [Storm the Albatross] appear in Sonic Generations. How? when I was the playing the game they didn't appear until the credits show the video containing footage of the past games.--Donmust90 (talk) 19:46, 14 May 2013 (UTC)Donmust90[reply]

Each of the pages you linked to (I've corrected the links BTW. You don't need pipe symbols in external links) says the character made a cameo in Generations. That probably means just their appearance during the credits. Rojomoke (talk) 20:50, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
