ELECTIC SITAR in popular/rock/jazz music

There no mention of the song by JOE SOUTH "GAMES PEOPLE PLAY" that had a sitar sound in the music? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.154.4.135 (talk) 05:45, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is. Quote from the wiki article about the song : "The distinctive guitar at the opening is played on a Danelectro electric sitar, " see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games_People_Play_%281969_song%29 196.214.78.114 (talk) 11:29, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Side note. There is a good cover of this by Duane Allman also with sitar but the lead is by King Curtis on saxophone (no vocals). 196.214.78.114 (talk) 11:58, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

...and the song is mentioned, with many others, in our article on Electric sitar. Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:04, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Man

Somehow I think this secure connection isn't connecting me to the same insecure "Ask a Volunteer A Question"? page I had before signing in, and if so I ask to be sent the URL for Asking a Volunteer a Question about Searching Wikipedia articles. 1. I found the Wikipedia page on Iron-man, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Man, but I could not visually search and find the name of the armored suit/character which his friend Rhoddy/Rhoddie (not sure of spelling and my vision is just on the edge of being impaired, even after getting new glasses last month); so I may have enlarged the text on the Wikipedia pages so far some cues or links have fallen off the screen to the left or the right. 2. When his friend, in the comics mythology of Iron-Man, steal another armored suit, it is named "War-something" -- thought I had found this in the Iron-Man Wikipedia page, but searching that page again today I couldn't find the character name when Rhoddy/Rhoddie is wearing his armored suit. 3. While I would like to know the name of the character, I would even more like to know how to search myself if it on Wikipedia somewhere myself, rather than have to ask for this type of help again.

Seems to be resolved, (see Q below), so I will tag it so. StuRat (talk) 21:53, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"War Machine" is the answer to my previous question - duh (sound of hand slapping forehead!)

A third review of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Man page produced a "War Machine" ??hint? or something like a MS_Office "tool tip when I put the pointer over the name "James 'Rhoddey' Rhodes -- something which had NOT appeared during my previous two reading of the page before I posted the question --

So I want to post this as an answer and a cancellation of my immediately prior question;

Along with a request to point me to the steps if there is shorter process to do this?

Click on "Edit" to the right of the question title (at the actual question, not in the table of contents). Then tell us how the question was resolved, and add the {{resolved}} tag (with curly brackets) to mark it resolved. StuRat (talk) 21:56, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
