Charles Schultz' Peanuts Cartoon

Charles M. Schultz died nearly 12 years ago, yet his Peanuts comic strip continues to this day. That's over 4000 fresh creations. Who is producing these? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.36.201.221 (talk) 01:04, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

See The end of Peanuts. They're reprints. ---Sluzzelin talk 01:14, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Sometimes you can tell, they don't seem to be skipping the (very few) strips with pop culture references. APL (talk) 05:39, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Babes in Toyland (1934 film)

Hi there. I'm sorry about the Babes in Toyland talk page. I didn't know it wasn't for general discussion. Anyways, have you seen this movie before? It's a Laurel and Hardy film. I was making a prediction that Tom Tom the Piper's Son and Little Bo Peep got married to each other then had a child of their own, and I also predicted that Stan and Oliver were jealous and found two lovely girlies for themselves. Do you think this happened, possibly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.0.112.173 (talk) 02:41, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

This page is also not for such discussions. If you have a factual question we can find an answer for you or direct you to a Wikipedia article where you can find the answer, this is the right place. If you just want to discuss what you think characters in a movie did offscreen or after the film ended, then there really isn't a place on Wikipedia to discuss that... --Jayron32 02:51, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

What you're looking for is a forum. You will probably get more of a response if you ask in this place. --TammyMoet (talk) 10:22, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

I think the only way to know the answer for sure would be to watch the sequel. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:53, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

What accent does Michael Palin use as the Lord of Swamp Castle?

In Monty Python and The Holy Grail. The balding man with a bushy beard and a bearskin cloak, who's after 'huge tracts of land'. I think it's Yorkshire but I'm not entirely sure. Thank you. Vranak (talk) 16:18, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

It sounds to me like a Scottish Brogue, but perhaps the Yorkshire accent is close to that. --Jayron32 18:35, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Do you mean this? That is a Yorkshire accent (or perhaps more accurately a stereotypical parody of one); nothing like Scottish. The character itself is a parody of the rough northern father/effete son trope, which was inverted in this sketch from the TV series. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 21:55, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Michael Palin is, of course, native to Sheffield, South Yorkshire. --TammyMoet (talk) 10:49, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Cool – thanks everyone. Vranak (talk) 16:55, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Cricket teams with significant South Asian population

Which cities of significant South Asian population has cricket teams in the first level cricket division? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.92.154.228 (talk) 18:30, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

I think every city with a team in the Indian Premier League would qualify. --Jayron32 18:33, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry I mean in England. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.92.154.228 (talk) 18:37, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

No city in England has a cricket team. The County Championship is contested between county teams, who have a home ground but do not consider themselves tied to a particular place (often, matches are rotated, particularly between variants of the game).

Combine List of current first-class cricket teams#England and Wales and Lists of UK locations with large ethnic minority populations. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:24, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

But not as simple as it sounds - county sides often stick to boundaries that no longer exist. Middlesex no longer exists as a real county but the cricket club's home patch includes most of northern London. The same for Surry and most of London south of the Thames. Essex includes areas of east London such as Newham, Waltham Forest and Barking which have significant Asian populations. Alansplodge (talk) 14:13, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

A bit more detail:

London Cricket Clubs:

Kent (includes London Boroughs of Greenwich, Lewisham, Bromley and Bexley}.

Essex (includes London Boroughs of Newham, Barking, Waltham Forest, Redbridge and Havering).

Surrey (includes London Boroughs of Southwark, Lambeth, Wandsworth, Richmond-upon-Thames, Kingston- upon-Thames, Merton, Sutton, and Croydon.

Middlesex (includes all the remaining Boroughs, including Tower Hamlets, Brent, Ealing, Harrow and Hounslow).

Clubs for other major towns and cities with particularly significant South Asian communities:

Berkshire: Slough and Reading

Warwickshire: Birminham, Wolverhampton, Rugby and Coventry.

Lancashire: Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Bolton, Preston.

Yorkshire: Leeds, Bradford, Batley, Halifax, Dewsbury, Sheffield, Wakefield.

Leicestershire: Leicester.

I may have missed some, but hope this helps. Alansplodge (talk) 17:56, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

football teams by cities in Belgium with African population

Which cities of Belgium with significant African population has football team in the first level? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.92.154.228 (talk) 18:34, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

You know, this is growing wearisome. The infinite variations on the same type of question is something you do every few weeks. At some point, it would be nice to see you do some research on your own. This is starting to feel like you are trolling us here. Please give me some sign that you are not, because after several years of this identical behavior from you, it is becoming tiresome. --Jayron32 18:40, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

I am only asking about African population in Europe from former colonies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.92.154.228 (talk) 18:53, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Yes, but to what end? You asked about European cities and their immigrant population months ago. You have access to the answers you were given when you asked the questions before. Why not just cross reference the answers you were given with the teams in the various sports leagues you are asking about? What do you need us to do for you that you could not do on your own, given that you have access to this information, most of which was answered to you before, and the rest of which could be answered by merely looking at Wikipedia articles on sports leagues?!? --Jayron32 19:12, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

List of cities netherlands significant indonesian population football

Which cities of Netherlands with significant population of Indonesians have a football team in the first division? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.92.154.228 (talk) 18:45, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

See Eredivisie, which will tell you which city every club is in. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:24, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

...and the CBS website here (in English) might let you search for the demographics of each city (though I couldn't quickly find out how). Astronaut (talk) 19:34, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Or failing that, this. --Colapeninsula (talk) 23:57, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Song from Nissan Commercial

I really want to know the song from the commercial but it doesn't say and I don't know where to find out — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.137.161 (talk) 21:22, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps if you told us what commercial, or for what Nissan vehicle, or when you saw it? --McDoobAU93 21:40, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Yes, you need to provide the Nissan link. Say, that'd be a good song title. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:17, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

If you can find the commercial on YouTube, that would help too. Dismas|^(talk) 01:38, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

I think it was the Versa — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.137.161 (talk) 05:21, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

If you're referring to this commercial or the others like it that feature the Versa on YouTube, the song is "Don't Stop (Color on the Walls)" by Foster the People. I found this by putting "nissan versa commercial" in YouTube's search and then searching for a few lines of the lyrics on Google along with the word "lyrics".
