How You Got Information on Avatar The Western Air Temple!?!?!?

Hello Wikipedia, First of all, you guys are amazing, and I am not asking this question to criticize you. But I was just wondering how you got the following information from your Katara page:

"Zuko's betrayal had a lasting effect on Katara, which was made evident in the episode "The Western Air Temple". When Zuko offered to teach Aang Firebending, Katara was the least trusting of him, remembering how he had made her drop her guard in Ba Sing Sei. Eventually, however, Zuko was accepted into the group by the others. Shortly afterward, however, Katara spoke with Zuko in private, making clear that she did not trust him, and that if he were to try and harm Aang that she would kill him."

This was in your page of Katara, under relationships with Zuko at the very bottom of the page. I was just wondering how you got this! :) Anyway here is the url if you need it, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katara Remebember it is at the bottom of the page. Thank you so much for your help, have a great weekend!!!!

We did have it but it's been deleted many many times recently (see logs). It's linked from List of Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes and seems to be the only missing episode. Foxhill (talk) 04:54, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

K-Ville theme music and star

I read somewhere Dr. John performed the theme music to, K-Ville. Is this true? If yes, then what's the name of the theme song? I also read in People Weekly that the father of Tawny Cypress is a victim of Hurricane Katrina. Is this true? If yes, then what's the situation between them?72.229.136.18 (talk) 08:29, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to the official site, the answer to your first question is yes. Algebraist 17:24, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The answer to your second question is "yes" also. According to her, in an interview with BET, "My dad spent eight years in New Orleans. He lived by the Superdome. When Katrina hit, he wound up at the convention center. I hadn't spoken to him for years, as we were on bad terms. When I realized it, I started posting information about him. I found him, and he came back to Jersey. We have a great relationship now." [1] Rockpocket 17:41, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation of band name

Hi all - anyone out there know exactly how the band Labradford's name is pronounced? I've heard "LaBRADford", L.A. Bradford" and an attempt to make it sound like Labrador (LabradFORD). I've always thought it was the first of those, but I spent over a decade mispronouncing Hüsker Dü, so I'd like some kind of confirmation one way or the other :) Thanks in advance, Grutness...wha? 09:27, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're right - I've always heard it pronounced with the stress on the 'brad'. --Richardrj ^talk ^email 10:47, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Grutness...wha? 12:08, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No offense intended, Richard, but where have you heard this? I only ask because I've heard two local DJs from the same station each pronounce the name of the band Skatelites pronounce that name differently. One pronounced it like the musical style Ska and the other pronounced it similar to the word satellite. Dismas|^(talk) 12:39, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At least they don't say "Skate lights" :) Grutness...wha? 22:47, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wii European/UK compatibility

Someone in the UK wants me to buy a Nintendo Wii for them - I'm in mainland Europe (Austria). Two questions:

The package includes one game. Will the on-screen instructions and all that sort of thing on this game only be in German, or can the languages be switched?
Regarding the power supply, it says on the box "the power supply included is suitable for use in the European Economic Area, except for the UK and Ireland." How seriously should I take this? Does it just mean the thing runs off a standard European 2-pin plug, which I'd need to use an adaptor with for use in the UK? Or does it mean that the thing will not function at all in the UK, regardless of plug shape? Many thanks. --Richardrj ^talk ^email 19:25, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mainland UK has a single standard mains power supply: 220/240 V at 50 Hz. A cursory check of this page [2] confirms that ~~Germany~~ Austria (but Germany too) also has that standard, so it will simply be the idiosyncratic UK plugs and sockets that are a problem.

Our plugs are just fine, it's all the weird ones in other countries that are the problem :) Exxolon (talk) 19:42, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I only said idiosyncratic! :)) SaundersW (talk) 09:55, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
