Jordan Henderson

Please correct the page of Liverpool footballer Jordan Henderson as someone has written some incorrect and rude information on there about him.

Kind regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.149.238.155 (talk) 10:58, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

It's either already been corrected, or I can't find what you refer to - Jordan Henderson seems fine to me. I would suggest you add any comments like this to the actual talk page of the article as well Talk:Jordan_Henderson, as it's more likely to be seen by people who know what the correct info is... gazhiley 11:50, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

OP is probably referring to this vandalism which was put in just a couple minutes before they posted here and was reverted just minutes before your response to them. Dismas|^(talk) 11:56, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

How to watch old TV shows that have not been released on home media

Specifically, I'm interested in Twinkle, the Dream Being, but I want to know if there are any general ways of progressing when the show hasn't been released on home media. I am willing to pay.--Leon (talk) 20:12, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

There are many Internet sites that show such programs for free, but with ads, like Hulu. However, the video and audio quality is often poor. StuRat (talk) 21:17, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

As far as I know Hulu is only available in the United States. Contact Basemetal here 21:22, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

According to IMDB, ABC Family distributed that, at least in America. Part of the wider Disney–ABC Television Group. That doesn't necessarily mean they own it, but it's a fairly safe bet.

Buying a complete run of it from them may be hard. Entertainment companies are, in general, jealous hoarders. They'll sit on things they aren't selling, just in case they ever want to. Sometimes they buy great ideas and finished projects we've never seen, purely to keep other companies from releasing them. You're not a rival distributor, but you could share the run online. They don't really have a reason to trust you, but it can't hurt to ask to speak with someone. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:24, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Where can I find a certain video of Rachel Dolezal?

I read that there was an interview in which Rachel Dolezal was asked if she is Black, or African American (I forget which). Her response was "I don't understand the question." And she stormed out of the room. Does anyone have a link where this video is found on the internet? I checked YouTube, but no luck. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 20:22, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes, that's it. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 21:44, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

• Just noticed to Joe this is "Entertainment". Humor? Contact Basemetal here 14:03, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Not all entertainment is funny. This is like reality TV drama. InedibleHulk (talk) 16:48, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Yeah. I actually wasn't sure where to ask the question, and my next stop would have been "Humanities". But, that didn't seem to fit, either. I was asking about locating the video itself; I was not asking about the larger issue of the woman's race claims. When I think of video, television, You Tube, etc., my first thought is "Entertainment". Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 19:57, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Au contraire, Inedible Hulk. Observing that most of the stupid crap they subject participants to in what they call "reality" TV has no basis in reality whatsoever, would give one some of the best laughs ever. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 22:56, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, all. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 00:46, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Cycling

Who is the first black African rider who raced at the Tour de France? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.202.251.29 (talk) 21:47, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

According to this article and this article from The Guardian, MTN-Qhubeka will be the first African team to compete in the race, due to start on 4 July this year. No Africans (or black people from any other part of the world) have competed in it to date. Tevildo (talk) 22:25, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

According to our article on Yohann Gène he "is the first cyclist of Afro-Caribbean and Sub-Saharan African descent to ever compete in the Tour de France" ("Meet Yohann Gène, the First Black Cyclist Ever in the Tour de France"). ---Sluzzelin talk 04:24, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
