Oh no

What if (hypocritically) a Wikia went independent (hypocritically), what if a (hypocritical) Jimmy Wales found out (hypocritically)>_> 74.178.186.35 (talk) 17:10, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is that a hypothetical question? We generally don't answer questions asking for speculation on future hypothetical events. Astronaut (talk) 18:09, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds more like a (hypocritical) question. We don't answer them, either. -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 18:28, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I never answer hypocritical questions, but do expect others to answer mine. :-) StuRat (talk) 18:39, 13 March 2012 (UTC) [reply]

But this is really important, okay say it's not hypocritical.74.178.186.35 (talk) 19:16, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That word, I do not think it means what you think it means. In fact, I do not think it is a real word at all: if it was a real word, it would mean "less than important," or something to do with this. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.193.78.4 (talk) 19:44, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since most wikis on Wikia are permissively licensed, anyone can take their content and set up their own wiki, providing they credit the original authors. Jimbo doesn't own any of the copyright, except in text he wrote personally. Therefore I deduce that Jimbo wouldn't mind too much. Indeed there are already a lot of sites that have taken wikipedia content and put it on an independent website: see Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks.

This question may be a reference to the Fallout wiki "The Vault" which was recently moved away from Wikia, and then shortly after the creator of that wiki was mysteriously banned by Wikia.

There's a lot more too this story, and undoubtedly some of it that's not public. Here is a story about that issue. APL (talk) 08:56, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Danny Hutton

On which Three Dog Night songs did Danny Hutton sing lead vocals? I know One and The Show Must Go On were sung by Chuck Negron, whilst Cory Wells sang on Mama Told Me Not to Come, but cannot find anything with Hutton on lead. Thanks.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:39, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Huh, I wonder this myself.74.178.186.35 (talk) 19:18, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I know he was the actual founder of the band, but cannot find any songs where he takes the lead vocals.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:21, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I know Hutton had a modest national hit, "Roses and Rainbows," during his tenure as a recording artist for Hanna-Barbera Records. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.178.186.35 (talk) 21:33, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
