The Wire Synopsis

Where is a good website that breaks down each episode of The Wire, and explains the terminology and procedures that comprise the episodes? 76.170.255.59 (talk) 02:43, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's a Fandom site that seems to have fairly comprehensive synopses: [1] 136.56.52.157 (talk) 02:59, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I sympathize. I also needed a guide to each episode to fathom out what was going on half the time. The plot summaries here on Wikipedia are perfectly fine, start at The Target (The Wire) and work your way from there. --Viennese Waltz 09:33, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Awareness of Lucky Luke in the USA

Just asking for gut feeling estimations: What share of the American population can be expected a) to have ever heard of Lucky Luke, b) to have ever consumed that franchise in one way or another, c) to be a fan of it of any degree? --KnightMove (talk) 07:10, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe about as many Americans who ever heard of Winnetou. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 13:00, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am an American who has actually heard of Winnetou (who can forget a character called Old Shatterhand) but have never heard of Lucky Luke. I am sure that there are some Belgian-Americans and American fans of European comic books who have heard of Lucky Luke and a handful who collect and care but that must be a tiny percentage of Americans who are familiar in any way with this character and franchise.

Thank you both. --KnightMove (talk) 10:06, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cullen328: As the topic has now been brought up - how high would you estimate that percentage for Winnetou? --KnightMove (talk) 09:44, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

One percent. Cullen328 (talk) 17:12, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say that your estimate was at least 2 orders of magnitude too high. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 18:29, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cullen328, what about Les Tuniques Bleues? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:42, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gråbergs Gråa Sång, I have never heard of that before. Cullen328 (talk) 16:51, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Then let's close ranks with Oumpah-pah. --KnightMove (talk) 08:47, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thunderstruck - Tales from the Equinox (album)

Hi, currently, and quite often actually, I'm having trouble writing an article for an obscure band(s). I want to make articles for obscure bands but the info is really hard to come by sometimes. I need something that shows significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject at hand. Google searches prove fruitless sometimes, so is there any better way to find something credible on my topic (at least my current one?) Not asking you to do my work for me, just a tool I can use or something. Kingofstillport (talk) 07:28, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If information is hard to come by, that usually means the band is not notable enough for an article. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:18, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
