When moving sequential cards (say 8-7-6) from one column into an open column you are given a pop-up asking if you want to move a single card or the entire column (e.g. just the 6 or 8-7-6). Why? I do not see any strategic advantage for moving a single card to an open column. It seems to be a disadvantage. Am I missing something? 196.213.35.147 (talk) 06:12, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes you want to move a single card to expose the card underneath in order to move it immediately to one of the four ordered piles corresponding to each suit. --Xuxl (talk) 13:12, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe the OP is unfamiliar with Solitaire. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots15:45, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(OP from home) I am indeed unfamiliar with Spider Solitaire. I don't see how that relates to my question. 41.13.208.193 (talk) 05:48, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(OP from home) Thanks. I think I've got it. So if the 7 was spades, I move the red 6 to the open column and then the 7 to the 6 of spades on the spades pile. I can see a couple of scenarios where this would be useful. 41.13.208.193 (talk) 05:37, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Versace credits in Judge Dredd

edit

If Versace's costume design in the film Judge Dredd was reportedly rejected, why is he mentioned in the film's opening credits and in the 22nd Saturn Awards nominations for the film? As further shown in the film, the Judges wear costumes, distinct from Versace's sketches. 212.180.235.46 (talk) 20:14, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Reportedly"... where? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots03:19, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
IMDB credits Emma Porteous and Gianni Versace with costume design. Although based on Versace's drawings, the actual Judge Dredd costume is modified as shown in this blog post. Is the encyclopedia page sufficient or misleading on this question? Tamanoeconomico (talk) 03:54, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
According to this, "Versace's designs were rejected by the production. The website Prop Bay put the design sheets up for auction in 2012". Also this source. Something does not appear right. 212.180.235.46 (talk) 13:33, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
