[edit] Solfeggio
"Robert Maxwell's "Solfeggio" became so associated with the infamous derby-hatted apes that it became better known simply as "The Song of the Nairobi Trio"." -- Solfeggio links to Solfege: "a way of assigning syllables to degrees or steps of the diatonic scale." Correct when referring to "Robert Maxwell's 'Solfeggio'", or not? -- 201.78.233.162 00:49, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, both terms refer to singing a melody using do-re-mi-etc. syllables for the appropriate notes, as is done in the Maxwell piece. StanislavJ 01:32, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lincoln
I added a clarification on the Lincoln automobile. This may seem very redundant to readers in the USA, but not all Wikipedia users are from the USA. -- 201.78.233.162 01:27, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Haydn, Op. 3, No. 5"
The reference link points to a page that states that Op.3, No. 5 is not by Haydn, but rather by Pater Roman Hofstetter. Op. 33, on the other hand, is definitely by Haydn. I'm changing this. RogerLustig 03:53, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
The Silent Show
Concerning this:
"He also did several TV specials, including the famous "Silent Show" in 1959"
according to the Museum of Broadcast Communications, the date was January 19 of 1957.

[edit] Age at death
His birth is listed as 1919 and death in 1962. Yet the article states that he died before his "53rd" birthday. If the dates are correct, he would have been only 42(ten days short of his 43rd birthday). Qphilo 01:23, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Influence on Monty Python?
Given that Kovacs is largely unknown outside the US (despite a number of prominent Hollywood movie roles), it seems extremely unlikely that he had any influence at all on Monty Python (indeed, the Pythons have always claimed The Goons/Spike Millgan as their biggest influence.) It is not clear whether the citation shown applies to just Letterman or all acts listed. Even if it does, there must be doubts over its accuracy. Mrstonky (talk) 14:16, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ernie milktable.jpg
Image:Ernie milktable.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
