January 17[edit]

What was the first Ice Hockey video game to include multiple playable worldwide leagues?[edit]

I know they do now with NHL 13, but when did they first have leagues other than the NHL? Nicholasprado (talk) 01:23, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't remember the year, but I played the NHL Hockey series from EA Sports a decade ago on PS2, and they had them then. It would be at least ten years. NHL 2001 had 20 individual teams from various non-NHL leagues, by NHL 2004 that had gone up to 39 teams. It's been quite a while since I played these, so I don't recall if you could play the international leagues in Dynasty Mode or League Mode, or if they were only available for exhibition games. --Jayron32 02:46, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Updating the Nottingham Forest logo ASAP[edit]

It has come to our attention that the Nottingham Forest Wikipedia page displays the old version of the Nottingham Forest logo.

This immediately appears on Google and Google Images, meaning a lot of people assume this is the correct logo and thus we are struggling to stop the use of this old version.

I cannot find anyway of removing or replacing this logo on the Wikipedia site and wondered whether anyone could assist us with replacing it with the official version ASAP?

Please let me know how this can be done to stop continued use of this old version.

You can do that yourself. Go to Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard and follow the steps there. Once that is done, you can edit the Nottingham Forest page and replace the old logo with the new one. --Viennese Waltz 12:16, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

IP editors can't upload images. RNealK (talk) 04:23, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Our current File:Nottingham Forest.svg is only a little different from http://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/cms_images/common/nottingham-forest-806x60540-46079.jpg. Is that it? Do you have a better link? jpg is a poor format for drawings. PrimeHunter (talk) 05:13, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My colleague at Nottingham Forest uploaded our high-res logo onto wikipedia on this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nottingham_Forest_Logo.tif but we still are unsure how to progress with replacing the existing 2009 incorrect version with the official current Nottingham Forest logo. Any help is appreciated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lauramay03 (talk • contribs) 12:00, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can see in the article the logo has been updated as shows the new image from what I can tell. gazhiley 13:00, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you compare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nottingham_Forest_Logo.tif (correct) with the existing one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nottingham_Forest.svg (incorrect) then you'll notice variations in the font, specifically how the R and E sit together. The older version has stretched looking wide font. If anyone can help me change the logo it is greatly appreciated! Many thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lauramay03 (talk • contribs) 13:10, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've made an attempt to do this at Nottingham Forest, but I'm not sure if it's correct. I think the new logo should really be in SVG format - can you provide one? Thanks. — sparklism ^hey! 15:06, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My bandwidth finds your lossless compression offensive... Anyway, I vectorised the picture and uploaded it here. I would appreciate it if someone could double-check to make sure I've done everything properly. I've only uploaded pictures once before.

Play title[edit]

I know this is a long shot as I have very few/sketchy details to help find what I am after, a scene in the play that I can vaguely recall is of a middle age man talking to, I think, a psychiatrist, and he is explaining how his wife came down the stairs to him sitting alone, she wanted to talk to him but he couldn't/wouldn't reply to her, the script reads something like "My wife came down last night, long hair..." I recall that the author who I think their first name is Tom, used words like Heigh ho in the script, I know it's a long shot but this has been bugging me the last few days, thanks.

Is this Every Good Boy Deserves Favour by Tom Stoppard? I don't know the play, but it's set in a mental hospital so could conceivably have a scene as you describe. Seeing as it's a copyrighted work the text is not available online so I can't check for sure. --Viennese Waltz 15:05, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No unfortunately that's not it, think it was set in England. Mo ainm~Talk 20:19, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Andy Griffith Show[edit]

In the old sitcom tv show; The Andy Griffeth show, What is known of Andy's wife and opie's mother?184.15.38.120 (talk) 22:03, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Very little, except that she died. The Wikipedia article about Opie Taylor explains that his mother is only mentioned in passing in a single instance by Aunt Bee, and never named. Helen Crump becomes his step mother when she and Sheriff Andy marry in the first episode of the spinoff series Mayberry R.F.D. --Jayron32 22:09, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
