Jamiroquai discography

Recently, an addition was made to Jamiroquai discography and it now includes Jamiroquai's forthcoming album. I put a topic in the discussion section wondering where this information came from so that a reference may be placed on the article so that future viewers would be able to varify the information and know that it is true. I am asking for a reference because i have not found any information anywhere else about the album title of the new album. If the user who added that information has a reference, I request it to be put on the article so that it will be verified by Wikipedia standards and improve the article. I recieved a message by an annomous user saying that i was not allowed to ask this question to the discussion section of the article for it did not improve the article. However, I think it does improve it for the future. I, myself, do not need to find the reference. The user who added the information to the article does. If this user refuses to do so, it should be removed until it has been confirmed by multiple sources so that it is not misleading. Please respond to this message and clear up this matter. --J miester25 (talk) 00:01, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

You should do the following things, in order, to solve this problem.

1. Leave a friendly note on the talk page of the person that made the change, asking for a reference, and reminding them that without a reference, the information cannot stay in the article. Be as friendly and warm in tone as you can.
2. Leave a friendly note on the talk page of the article stating the same
3. If the person does not respond in a reasonable time, say 3-4 days, then WP:BOLDly remove the unreferenced information ONCE, and leave a talk page note explaining, in detail, why you have done so. It is very important that, if the information is returned to the article, you do not remove it again This is the path to the dark side. Do not take it.
4. If the situation cannot be worked out between the two of you, and all of the above have been tried, then attempt dispute resolution. There are half a dozen methods for getting outside, uninvolved editors to comment on the situation. Start with WP:3O then WP:RFC then WP:MEDIATION. Somewhere along the way, enough other editors will arrive to comment. It may take a week or two, but eventually, a clear consensus of other editors will emerge which will show you how to proceed. Be aware that the consensus may not go your way but be prepared to accept what the community has determined.

Good luck with this. Again, try just talking to the guy first. You may be pleasently surprised at how well that goes, especially if you are friendly and deferential in your approach. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 12:25, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

DISORDER 2

I HAD A POSTED A QUESTION WRONGLY..this tv doctor raised awareness on a sleeping disorder. Who is he and which disorder is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.1.26.35 (talk) 04:44, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

No, you seem to have posted it correctly. Scroll up to your original question and you'll find some responses, although the answer you wanted hasn't been discovered. -- JackofOz (talk) 06:01, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Belohlavek in Brno

Where could I find a complete list of the people in the orchestra while he worked there? 203.188.92.70 (talk) 10:18, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Wow. That might be hard to find on the Internet. Orchestra's may publish a playbill for a particular nights performance, but it isn't common for any organization, musical ensembles included, to regularly publish every employee they hire for every job. I doubt such information is readily availible, unless you contact the orchestra historian directly. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 10:59, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

It's quite common for websites of orchestras to list all their current players. But getting this information for 15-odd years ago would be a different matter. Printed programs of concerts usually list the players, so if you can get your hands on some old concert programs from that time, that might give you much of the information you need. -- JackofOz (talk) 22:02, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

TV show "Jeopardy"

I know that the 1"st place winner gets whatever he accumulates. What does the second and third place winner receive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.15.227.30 (talk) 17:14, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

They used to receive "parting gifts", but now I think they get the amount of money they've won. Little Red Riding Hoodtalk 19:25, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Since Wikipedia is, after all, an online encyclopedia, one can easily go to the Jeopardy article and find the information there. Second place is worth $2000 and third place $1000. --LarryMac | Talk 19:44, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

And yes, this means that the winner can occasionally win less than the others -- but the winner also gets to play again. By the way, the actual title of the show is Jeopardy!. Also by the way, in the original version of the show that started in 1964, all three players did receive their full score as a money prize. The original money values for each question were multipled by 10 when the present show started in 1984; part of that was to compensate for inflation but I'm sure part of it was also because the change to the prize structure allowed them to reward the winner more richly. The present prize levels are twice the ones established in 1984, compensating for inflation since then. --Anonymous, 21:32 UTC, October 17, 2008.
