gsp

[edit]

what primetime episode was it where gsp gave tour of his house and said he hated his family? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.246.254.35 (talk) 12:12, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Who is gsp? --Dweller (talk) 16:46, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"GSP" is usually Georges St. Pierre these days, but I'm not sure which prime time this would be. Adam Bishop (talk) 17:02, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, apparently there is a "UFC Primetime" show for which we do not have an article. I don't know the answer yet but it might be the very first episode which aired before UFC 94. Adam Bishop (talk) 17:07, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
(ec) "UFC Primetime" is a television show. -- kainaw 17:07, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Georges, never heard of you. --Dweller (talk) 19:42, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This link[1] indicates that GSP indeed stands for Georges St. Pierre. I never heard of him either. But at least we have something to go on. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots06:52, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

mark marshall (footballer) for swindon town - height mistake

[edit]

Hi

I have signed up to wiki as I saw an error I wanted to correct but after signing up Ive found I cant edit what I want to. There is a mistake on the personal information to do with Mark Marshall the swindon town footballer. I have seen him play and his height is about 5 ft 6 or 5 ft 7 and not 6 ft. The reference comes from the official swindon town website and they have got his height wrong at 6 ft aswell. What do you suggest I do to try and edit this mistake? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiwizard19 (talkcontribs) 15:52, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First, questions like this belong on the talk page of the article. Second, your first stage of fixing this is to be sure that you are right. Judging a player's height by 'having seen them play' is not a very accurate way of finding it out. If you are sure, what you need to do is find references that back up the statement that he is 5 ft 6 (or 5 ft 7). When you have found them, and are sure that they are more reliable than the Swindon town website and cite them, and then change the article yourself. The other advantage of asking this on the article talk page is that other people interested in Mark Marshall can help you. DJ Clayworth (talk) 16:27, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Identify film from plot

[edit]

The film starts with a professor being arrested, suspected of having murdered his ex-wife. Flashbacks switches between depicting the professor as a psychotic killer and just some guy with a weird sense of humour. While the professor is in custody, the police searches his house, but find no evidence. He is eventually released. The film is likely a few years old.

This was a reader's question in a film magazine that went unanswered. Perhaps we can do better? decltype (talk) 16:54, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like The Fugitive (film). 134.126.192.188 (talk) 23:23, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Did you mean The Fugitive (1993 film)? I haven't seen it, but it doesn't quite seem to fit, judging from its (very lengthy) plot summary. decltype (talk) 11:13, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
