Wii specific Beatles Rock Band reviews?

In all the reviews and photos of Beatles: Rock Band, I haven't seen any mention of Wii specific gameplay or how DLC is handled. Is DLC like Rock Band 2 (each song must transfer from the SD card to main memory) or is it like Guitar Hero 5 (songs play directly off the SD card)? Can anyone point me in a Wii specific review? --70.167.58.6 (talk) 00:50, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

I find several Wii-oriented reviews, but see no mention of DLC specifics (perhaps because no such content is available yet on the Wii). In lieu of other evidence, though, I would expect that it'll handle the way previous iterations of Rock Band have. On the other hand, I found a separate comment: Downloadable content for Wii ... can be downloaded to the system memory or to an SD card for additional storage. The tracks stream directly from the SD card for seamless play. Are you sure you don't just have a configuration issue? — Lomn 02:41, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Porco Rosso

At the end of the movie, Fio says that she never saw Porco again, but most people believe that Gina won her bet, and married Porco. Even Miyazaki's website maintains this view. Then, if Porco married Gina, and Fio was friends with Gina for ever after, how come she didn't see Porco again?? 117.194.224.227 (talk) 08:39, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

It's about a pig that's a fighter pilot. That should be enough to address any questions about 'plot holes'. DJ Clayworth (talk) 13:27, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

This is where being a "ham actor" is presumably a good thing. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 14:16, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Presumably his signature manouver is the "pork barrel roll". DJ Clayworth (talk) 14:24, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Why is my page still flagged as an "advertisement?" Steviebmmm (talk) 14:02, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

I have made several pages to the Mia Mind Music Wiki page and when I log in to my account it still says that the page is written like an advertisement. I have researched all the help and suggestions that Wikipedia offers about this subject, changed anything that seemed relevant, and still haven't been able to get rid of this flag. What exactly is an advertisement about the Mia Mind Music page? It is simply a company who has a reputation in the music industry and that is all we are trying to state along with some background. Please help. Thank you, Mia Mind Music

The reference desk is not the place to ask questions about articles. Please either use the talk page of the article, or just reply to whoever sent you the message by editing your talk page. However I should also point out Wikipedia:Conflict of interest which essentially forbids you from editing articles about organisations you represent. DJ Clayworth (talk) 14:04, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Templates don't automatically disappear when a problem is fixed. Someone has to decide to remove them, and then do it. If no-one else is paying attention to an article, templates can remain indefinitely.

It's good that you haven't removed the template yourself, since other editors might think this is due to a conflict of interest. What you need is independent feedback, which you could get at Wikipedia:Requests for feedback. The first comment you'll probably get is that the Mia Mind Music article needs reliable, third party sources that show the company is notable. AlmostReadytoFly (talk) 14:36, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

I also tidied that article up a bit. DJ Clayworth (talk) 14:42, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
