February 4[edit]

Olympique de Marseille[edit]

Who is vice-captain of OM — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wzmileksir (talkcontribs) 05:39, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is surprisingly hard to find out. The current captain is goalkeeper Steve Mandanda. Unfortunately, the club's official website does not indicate who is captain or vice captain, but it does indicate Mandanda has played all 90 minutes in all Ligue 1 games so far this season. Maybe individual match reports will be more forthcoming - for example, I was looking for a match where Mandanda didn't play all 90 minutes (and would have been replaced by the vice captain), but I think the last time that happened was back in May 2010 against Lille and that match report doesn't mention who replaced him as captain for the remainder of the game.

Age of Empires III vs Warcraft III editor[edit]

How does the editor in Age of Empires III compare to the editor in Warcraft III? I have used the Warcraft III world editor but I have never used the AoE III editor. Is it more or less powerful? Widener (talk) 08:24, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would say Warcraft III World Editor is more powerful because there is the Trigger editor, which I have not seen in Age of Empires III editor. I own and have played both games and the custom games. The custom game lobby has fewer games in Age of Empires 3 and the games are less diverse as well.Curb Chain (talk) 19:47, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

American Born Actors[edit]

What is the sitcom with the most american born actors? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.17.83.71 (talk) 12:10, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is an incredibly broad question. E.g. in Friends you have 6 main characters but 10s of extra reoccurring characters (e.g. Janice/Ross' parents/Gunter/etc.). Do you count just the main cast or the reoccurring ones? If you're talking just main cast you'd need to try think of American Sitcoms with lots of main characters....e.g. my first thought would be that Glee would be high on the list as it has a large starring cast most of whom (from a quick scan through) were born in the US. ny156uk (talk) 14:19, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Soap_(TV_series) is another sitcom with a large cast, with most (all?) born in the U.S. RudolfRed (talk) 21:08, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is it true that enrique is due to release a new song called 3 letter word any time from now??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.169.113.160 (talk) 15:34, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Billboard has a listing for the song, but no indication if/when it will be released as a single. Although a quick iTunes search doesn't bring up a song by Iglesias by that title, either. So I would say there's probably not enough to say yes, but there's some indication the answer may not be no, as well. --McDoobAU93 15:47, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Daytona 500[edit]

Who are the top 10 drivers in Daytona 500 history? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bearman 1944 (talkcontribs) 18:24, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the list of past winners. RudolfRed (talk) 18:46, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Depends on the criteria. Just in terms of wins, Richard Petty won the Daytona 500 seven times, so he's the man. Other drivers who won the race multiple times: Cale Yarborough (4 wins), Jeff Gordon (3), Bobby Allison (3), Dale Jarrett (3), Bill Elliott (2), Sterling Marlin (2), and Michael Waltrip (2) --SubSeven (talk) 18:47, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
