WAV Net Radio

Why don't you guys have WAV Net Radio on here?? They do awesome podcasts on iTunes called 'Halo Nerds' & 'Console Nerds'! You can go to www.wavnetradio.com for contact info, check them out! <3 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.70.3.138 (talk) 02:26, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

You could write it the article, if the station is sufficiently well-known. See Wikipedia:Your first article for help in writing. But the article can only be created if WAV Net Radio satisfies the criteria in Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). This requires reports in mainstream media about the company/organisation, and I can't find any articles online, so you may have to wait until it gets more media coverage. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:26, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

IMDB reviews

The form says it requires and does require 10 lines in a review, but many reviews I see on the site are nowhere near so many words. How can I post a short review like everyone else? Thanks. Imagine Reason (talk) 15:59, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

This isn't IMDB. This is Wikipedia. You're probably going to have to ask someone at IMDB about their policies and practices. --Jayron32 16:27, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

I would imagine that these 'short reviews' were posted in the nineties / early 2000s, before that policy was enacted. Vranak (talk) 16:48, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

If you wanted to review Captain America, go to that IMDb page and then scroll way down until you see "user reviews". Then click on "review this title". After you do a simple "review profile" of your name and location, you can then write the review. Pepso2 (talk) 19:14, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

HIMYM

Hi all, I've been watching How I Met Your Mother on dvd, and most of the early ones are great, but it starts jumping the shark around season 4. Still, having watched the show for a long time, I know they get it back, and then start losing it again and so on. Last year, I watched some of season 6 on tv, and it was so bad I gave up altogether. I'm still looking to download any remaining good episodes on iTunes, however, so does anyone share my taste in HIMYM, agreeing it was brilliant, and after that, intermittently good-to-brilliant, and if so, can people please point out any legen-(and I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the next word is)-dairy episodes (or middling to good ones) from seasons 5 and 6? — Preceding unsigned comment added by It's Been Emotional (talk • contribs) 17:42, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, Wikipedia's reference desk is not the appropriate place to solict opinions about people's favorite episodes of a TV series. This service exists to direct you to places to find answers to questions you may have of a factual nature, and isn't an open forum just to chat. If you are interested, there are a number of fan forums on the internet where you can solicit the opinions you seek. --Jayron32 17:53, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

The question can be turned into a Refdesk-worthy question relatively easily, though: "Are there any sites/places which provide an episode-by-episode (as opposed to whole-show or whole-season) ratings/rankings of television shows such as How I Met Your Mother? Perhaps a review aggregator like Rotten Tomatoes (but for TV episodes, rather than films), as I realize not everyone might share my taste in what constitutes a good HIMYM episode." - Unfortunately, I don't know how to answer that question. -- 140.142.20.229 (talk) 18:15, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

One such site would be Television Without Pity. --LarryMac | Talk 18:18, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

90ies UK film or tv series about precognitive kid

I'm desperately trying to find a certain tv series (it may also have been a film or miniseries).

iirc remember correctly, it's from around the early or mid-nineties and plays at least partly in Wales. The protagonist is a boy who has the gift of precognition (iirc, he can see people's dreams).

That is unfortunately all I remember. I've googled off my fingertips for terms as "film"/"series", "precognition", "wales" etc, to no avail. Anyone who can give me a hint wins the internet. --195.14.197.88 (talk) 18:33, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

I clicked through the articles in Category:Films set in Wales and Category:Television shows set in Wales, and didn't see anything like you describe. I'm giving Category:British supernatural television programs a shot now. --some jerk on the Internet (talk) 20:07, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Yeah, I've looked through all three categories, but the production I'm looking for appears not to be in there. Awm, hm. I guess I'll have to keep googling. --195.14.197.88 (talk) 20:41, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Could it be the revived The Tomorrow People? -- Finlay McWalter ☻ Talk 20:48, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

I don't think it's the one I'm looking for. I remember the tone of the series/film to be quite dark, and focused just on the one kid. --195.14.197.88 (talk) 20:54, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

How terrible. I hope he eventually developed into the cognitive stage from the precognitive stage. μηδείς (talk) 22:03, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Music by the Icelandic Police Choir in the film Jar City

Please can anyone tell me the name of the music performed by the Icelandic Police Choir, throughout the film, "Jar City"? I have made extensive searches but without results. Someone must know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.59.83 (talk) 22:22, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
