November 7[edit]

the heywoods[edit]

I am looking for the song "There's a right way" from the late 70s they did on Gene Autry's Republic Records label. It was produced by Dale Wright with The Heywoods B.R.Co. Chadick Music. Co.(ASCAP) (RE-5000-I-H). Imprinted with RE-5000A-H. If I knew how to attach a picture, I would. This is the only thing I have not found on the internet. Thanks Ted Churchman (e-mail address & empty ref tags removed) have record signed by all the artists including Bo Donaldson. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.134.145.226 (talk) 09:00, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected hoax - "Vanta Sport"[edit]

Can anyone find any references proving the existence or notability of Vanta Sport? Hack (talk) 11:33, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seems suspicious:

"Juvenile Sports and Pastimes" is a popular title for many things, but apparently not a book written in 1548. Fredrik Reinfeldt is a Swedish politician, not a 16th-century Danish author.

"Vavila" is not the Latin word for happiness and "lanta" does not mean grass in Latin or French.

"Keretizein" is a real Greek game but it was something like field hockey.

The images are of a Romanian newspaper, and an American teenage cross-country runner.

So I would go with "hoax". Adam Bishop (talk) 11:47, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've PRODed the article and added the appropriate hoax tag. Not sure if it's a G2 candidate. Tevildo (talk) 14:23, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Google translate says that vanta is Italian for boasts, FWIW. The picture supposedly illustrating the rules of the 'sport' is Romanian, which I can't read, but I don't see the word "Vanta" in there, nor is there anything that even looks like sports rules, nor was it tagged as such when it was uploaded. I think this is BS. 99.235.223.170 (talk) 15:14, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
