Ted and Robin

Re: continuity. Is it actually stated that Ted and Robin never get back together? I just watched the episode, and if it was there I missed it. Ewan 19:32, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Something Blue HowIMetYourMother.png

Image:Something Blue HowIMetYourMother.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Trivia addition

I was unsure of where in the entry this trivia addition (about the real-life on-screen proposal) should be added. Also, I struggled with writing it because I believe I over-used the word "real." If someone can think of a better way to word it and if there's a better place to put it, please edit accordingly. Also, apparently the woman's reply of "yes" had to be dubbed in during post production because her actual answer (which was 'yes') was too faint to be picked up by microphones. I didn't know if that should be part of the description. Medleystudios72 (talk) 16:09, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Holy cow, I just re-read the entry and came to the parenthetical comment about the engagement. I don't know how I missed that my first time through. Mea culpa. If my trivia addition is too redundant to keep, go ahead and delete it.

placebo: every you, every me

If you look at the lyrics of Every You Every Me by Placebo, you'll find, that the last verse goes something like this:

All alone in space and time.

There's nothing here but what here's mine.

Something borrowed, something blue.

Every me and every you.

Is it possible, that the third line was where they got the name for the last two episodes from? Or is it something else, where even Placebo got it from? I think this could be worth mentioning. --JPGoelz (talk) 18:56, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No. The tradition is, for good luck, a bride must wear "Something old, something new, Something borrowed, something blue, And a silver sixpence in her shoe."~Zythe^{Talk to me!}12:30, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
