Add Discography

I found his music catalog, could you please add this Draft:Samraat Singh 117.194.111.24 (talk) 12:31, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't the place to request article submissions; use the links provided at the top of your article draft. However, I can tell you that it is not ready to be published; there are not enough reliable references, your citation list is broken, and there's way too many external links. Remember, Wikipedia cannot be used for promotion. Wikipedia:Autobiography may apply as well. Matt Deres (talk) 17:54, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Julian LeFay and Russia Heat

[edit]

The Danish programmer Julian LeFay was in an electro-pop band called Russia Heat (Discogs) before he began his programming career. Apparently, this band was the first of its kind in Denmark and had at least one charted single, but I've been unable to find a source to confirm this that isn't LeFay himself saying "we were on the charts" in an interview. Searching for sources on an obscure Danish band is a bit of a challenge and I was hoping maybe some reference desk magic could turn up more about this band, especially verification of a charted song. Thank you kindly, MediaKyle (talk) 13:17, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There's a 28-page thread on the UKMix forum listing the Danish charts from 1979 onwards. Link below.

I can't find Russia Heat but there is information about the different Danish charts and suggestions of alternative sources. Hopefully this may help as a starting point. Sorry, I can't commit to trawling through all 28 pages! Dalliance (talk) 18:05, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Longest gap between first and second series

[edit]

What are the TV shows with the longest gap between the broadcast of its first and second series? Wolf Hall had nine years between its first and second series, but there must be others. My criteria are:

  • US and UK shows only
  • Live action shows only (no animation)
  • Dramas and comedies only (no documentaries, entertainment shows, reality shows, game shows etc.)
  • Gap between first and second series only (so Twin Peaks, which had a 25-year gap between its second and third series, doesn't count)

Thanks, --Viennese Waltz 11:29, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Night Manager has had a gap of more than 9 years since the first series but will be back shortly. The Comeback had a gap of nine and a half years between first and second series, but not quite so long as Wolf Hall. --Antiquary (talk) 12:01, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Plot and character continuity, no reboots?  Card Zero  (talk) 07:36, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, indeed. --Viennese Waltz 07:51, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The question makes me think of the 18 years Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation. But I think it doesn't qualify; during those years there were not only several movies but also an an animated TV series. Also, you might be speaking British and, as I would put it, have meant "season" when you said "series"; the original Star Trek ran for 3 seasons. --142.112.140.72 (talk) 18:04, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
TNG is a different series, although members of TOS would occasionally show up. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots02:36, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
