Wii Bowling

On the Wii bowling for the game Wii Sports, how does the scoring work to reach Pro? I know you must reach 1000, but how does it score the total. I ask because I have gotten 150 and my score goes up 22 but then I will get a 172ish and my score total will go down. What gives? Thanks, The Reader who Writes (talk) 06:17, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It keeps a floating average of your recent performance. The higher your game score above that average the more points you get towards the pro level. - X201 (talk) 15:33, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Song in The Hunt for Red October

During the opening-credits sequence of The Hunt for Red October, there is a song with lyrics in Russian. At one point there is a word that is clearly the word for "revolution" or some variant of it, but as an English-speaker that's the only word I can recognize in it. It is not the Soviet (now Russian) national anthem, which is sung later in the movie. Does anyone know what it is? --Anonymous, 16:25 UTC, August 15, 2008.

It's called "Hymn to Red October", and it's original soundtrack material by Basil Poledouris. A good writeup on the Red October soundtrack: [1]. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 16:47, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And a link to the lyrics in Russian and English, too. Thanks! --Anonymous, 06:17 UTC, August 16, 2008.

Actress should be on Wikipedia

Hi there, I just went to go see Actress (this is their band name) play in LA last night. They were amazing and packed the place. I came onto Wikipedia to find out more info on them (as this is my favorite site) and found zero information on the band. They don't appear to be on your website at all. I had to resort to myspace for all the info. I prefer wikipedia because it goes in depth and can contain lots of cool facts. I came up short and am very disapointed. I'm requesting that this band be added and some facts get posted on wiki. Thank you.

p.s. if you need their website, they're at www.actressmusic.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.37.244.52 (talk) 21:50, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe someone will demonstrate and reference Actress's notability and will (re-)write the article. It got deleted three times so far (deletion log). You might have more luck posting your request at Wikipedia:Requested_articles/music/Performers_and_bands, by the way. ---Sluzzelin talk 23:38, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
