[edit] Overview
This matl should be merged into the other paras--Light current 00:38, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Run Joe"
I am removing this text:
A gambling operation is described as follows
Moe and Joe had a candy store, selling fortunes behind the door
I think it is based on a misunderstanding, as the lyrics are telling fortunes. Later in the song, Hide de crystal ball by de fence. This seems a direct description of a fortune teller, not an allusion to a gambling establishment. Of course, I may have misunderstood; if there is a reliable source for the other meaning, by all means include it (source and text). Notinasnaid 12:15, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GA Re-Review and In-line citations
Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

[edit] Tom and Jerry version of Is you is...
I'm not certain that the Tom and Jerry version of Is you or is you ain't my baby was by Jordan; I, rather sadly, recorded the Tom & Jerry version and it's different from the version released by Louis Jordan - according to the Wikipedia entry for the episode in question (Solid Serenade) it may well have been sung by Fred Quimby; the T+J producer.--Apepper 13:46, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Good article Review of GA status
This article is being reviewed at WP:GA/R for possible delisting of its Good article status. Teemu08 21:34, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Positioning of the List of Hit Singles
The text and formatting for the List of Hit Singles (and the section title) appear in the middle of the editable text, but on the actual article page they display at the very bottom of the page, below the references, links and categories. I didn't have a clue how to fix this, does anyone else? InnocuousPseudonym 07:04, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
