The wiki links in the episodes need some cleanup work. Are there any other resources on the internet or otherwise regarding this show other than the one official website? Abeneal 20:38, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Can someone verify the comment in the trivia section claiming a human hand in the potato machine? This sounds like an urban legend.

Anybody have any information on the theme song and general soundtrack of the series?

AFAIK, it's produced by somebody called Dazmo Musique, which appears to be these people: http://dazmomusique.com/. HIM wouldn't be the same without it though! KingDaveRa 13:00, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How I Mad?

Anybody know why the titles only spelled out 'How I Mad' ?

[edit] Season 3, Episode 31

If anyone's seen this episode, the part of horse drawn carriages is wrong. They clearly weld many parts, and every time, they say that they soldered it. Near the end in the making of the wheel, they solder it, and say "After a quick welding of the wires...". They got Soldering and Welding reversed. Any thoughts/confirmation?

It could actually be right, if the article on Soldering is anything to go by. Carriages, being an old technology, using old techniques, would suggest they wouldn't be able to weld metal, but they probably could solder. Assuming they are building the carriages in a 'classic' way, it could well be right. It could still be wrong though! KingDaveRa 21:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
No, I saw them arc-welding in one episode and they not only called it "soldering" they also pronounced the silent "L." Probably due to a combination of translation errors from French to English and inexperience on the part of the writers.Landroo (talk) 16:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Categorize items?

I wikilinked all the items and episodes, however maybe we can categorize every item covered. I want input before I embark since we're going to do over 100 articles! BuickCenturyDriver 04:56, 12 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Mr. Rogers

The "Picture Picture" segments on Mr. Rogers have absolutely nothing to do with this series and the references to them should be removed.

Why not, both the show and that specific content serve the same purpose, to show how things are made. BuickCenturyDriver (Honk, contribs, odometer) 02:40, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
I'll admit that saying the Mr. Rogers pioneered the practice is outside of WP:NPOV, but it's verifiable that the show had factory segments. BuickCenturyDriver (Honk, contribs, odometer) 20:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Human Hand?

If you're talking about the scene where a guy puts his hand into the falling potato slices to show what they look like, that scene is still shown in reruns, at least in America. Julyo 10:28, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brooks Moore is best

Is anyone else disappointed by the replacement of Brooks T. Moore? I think he did the best job narrating the show. TMC1221 (talk) 02:13, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

An anonymous poster added "Hundreds of fans of the show have expressed their disappointment on the show's website regarding these changes. Despite theses expressions of disappointment, the show's team has not made any direct responses regarding this matter." I also agree that such an unverified claim should be removed. But if it can be verified, then I think it should be added to the article. TMC1221 (talk) 01:18, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Howitsmade.jpg

Image:Howitsmade.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.

[edit] Factory Made

What's the relation between this show and the similar new show, "Factory Made"? TMC1221 (talk) 02:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
