Main page picture
Hey, babe: That's a fun picture that you added to the Main page nominations, but it's too small. Main page pictures need to be at least 250px wide, and that one's only 210px. It says that on the page, but way at the bottom, below the interesting bits -- so I'm not surprised that you missed it. :) Do you have a bigger version of that pic? -- Danny (talk ) 17:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ugh. I worried it was too small.  It's actually a print from a tie that I just added (and photoshopped a little).  That's the biggest version I got.  I just thought it might be fun for April Fool's Day.  No biggie at all.  You can delete it if ya want.  (the picture itself).  Also, when you get a chance, can you verify that I comprehend the capitalization of articles on Andrew's page when you get a chance. :) -- ''Nate  (talk ) 17:20, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

MV3D merchandise
Yay, I love the MV3D stuff you're adding! -- Danny (talk ) 00:42, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * You know I'm a merchandise whore. I am just giddy over the stuff I found in Kroger last night which I'll get around to adding this week.  BIG HUGS! -- ''Nate  (talk ) 17:39, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Nate!
I love the pins you added, and I really love that you found the cover for the laserdisc of The Frog Prince. I've been looking all over for that! Where did you find it? If you can help with any other early video releases (especially in Beta and laserdiscs), that would be great! Thanks for all of your new contributions! -- Ken (talk ) 02:28, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks Ken! I've got a good scan of the back cover of the laser disc too if it's needed for anything.  I'm trying to go thru a lot of my stuff and get pictures since this is the time of the year when I've got a little more time to play on the wiki! (although the laser disc isn't mine I must admit)  I'll go thru all the videos that are lacking pictures here and keep a mental note as I compile a list of things that I will attempt to get done.  :)  -- ''Nate  (talk ) 15:45, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi again, Nate! Thanks for wanting to be my friend.  I've been wanting to meet you for a while, but I figured you weren't on the wiki anymore, or I would have written sooner.  I hope you can still help out sometimes, even if you get busy with performing.  Oh yeah, if you don't mind my asking, when was the picture on your user page taken?  I'm trying to figure out if the cake was made from an official Kermit cake pan, or if your mom just made it by hand.  It's great to finally get to know you! -- Ken  (talk ) 04:09, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey Ken. Spring/Winter is normally the time I have the most to spend on the Wiki anymore because I'm working a lot more hours, but also have a lot of down time while I'm at work.  And like someone else said on here (when I was snooping around pages), the wiki is perfect for me because with the forums you get so sucked in it becomes all consuming, while here if you leave for awhile it's all ok.  The fun can be started back up when you get back.  As for the cake, I think (by counting the candles) I was 11.  My mom made that from scratch, no kermit pan was to be found and I insisted on a Kermit cake.  I remember the eyes were cupcakes, because there were extra green cupcakes to chow down on afterward, which was the bomb!  And don't worry, no shows for me for awhile, tis TAX SEASON!  ugh!  -- ''Nate  (talk ) 16:01, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks! So do you work in something related to taxes when you're not doing shows?  I Googled your name, and I thought you were in radio (going by your name).  You want to trade e-mails so we can talk about non-Muppet stuff?  I'd give you mine first, but I'm afraid of attracting (more) spam.  If you can give yours to me in a way that won't attract spam for you, I'd appreciate it! -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Well lets put it this way. I have a google account.  It's my last name, which is downs, followed by a dot, then my first name, which of course is nate.  I don't think that will attract spam.  At least I hope not.  And I was in radio for years (and dabbled with TV), but have taken what has now amounted to four years off.  There will most likely be a return one day, after all it took me three and a half years to get back into theatre.  And what a four years of self discovery it's been, most of it this past twelve months!  -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 15:42, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Pins and Needles
Hey, Nate! I love the pins you've added. I'm a little unsure about the reference pages for Goofy and Minnie Mouse, though. There's not a lot to say about them, it's only a merchandise reference, and now that Disney owns the Muppets, it doesn't suggest a though-out reference or parody but just corporate cross-promotion. I think the pin stuff would be better off noted on The Walt Disney Company page. Now, if any pins reference Donald Duck, we actually have several references to him scattered here and there, enough to support a separate page (Ronald Duck, lyrics in "Hooray for Hollywood," a Big Bird appearance mentions him). -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:17, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I was debating on the references, but went ahead and did a Goofy and Minnie Mouse page, because I wasn't sure what else might start popping up, especially since Disney is very fond of dressing up their characters as others (they did a great set of Halloween ornaments at Hallmark last year of the Disney gang as other iconic Disney characters - Minnie as Cinderella, Goofy as Pinocchio, etc.). I was amazed though  at the voice actors connected with Goofy and Minnie that have worked with the Muppets.  If you guys want to go ahead and delete the pages, that's cool.  I didn't make one for Tinkerbell, as I figured the mention on the Peter Pan page is sufficent.  Also, any idea what is up with the frames on the Muppet pins (Disney) page?  I can't understand why it was acting goofy on my computer. -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 19:48, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * And while I'm asking questions, would Piggy as Minnie Mouse count as an alternate identity for that page? Or would it not since it's just merchandise and not an actual production of some sort.

MirrorMask Merchandise
Hey, dude: Is there other MirrorMask stuff, or is it just the buttons? If it's just a few pages, we can include it in Category:Creature Shop Merchandise rather than create a new category for it... Let me know what you think we need, and I can help you set it up. It's nice to see you on the wiki again! -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:41, 15 January 2008 (UTC)


 * DANNY! There's actually some coffee mugs and clothing that I know of, plus the obligatory DVD release.  That's all I've unearthed these days.  Ya'll make the call and I'll follow the lead!  -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 15:32, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and created the category. Outside of the mugs and buttons, there was a whole slew of merchandise, including multiple books, soundtrack, toys and busts from Dark Horse, and probably more. It's just that, as with Category:Farscape Merchandise, we hadn't covered much of it yet. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 06:16, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Adult Skeeter
Hi Nate -- haven't seen you around here in a while, so I guess you'll read this whenever. I seem to recall that you had talked about possibly being able to get a scan of the Carl's Jr. Muppet Parade of Stars Toys bag that featured an adult Skeeter. Is that still at all possible? Hope all is well with you. -- <font color="Blue">Scott (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:26, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey Scott! It's in Indiana somewhere in my Parent's storeroom.  I've actually not been back in a year, but will most likely be making a trip there at some point later this summer/fall and will make sure I make a scan of it while I'm there.
 * Hey, Nate. Both Baby Skeeter and the Carl's Jr. page have had cite tags for over a year. If a scan isn't possible, when yiou get a chance, can you access the bag or in some other way confirm, outside of memory? I'm tired of having those tags on there, and you're the only one who can take care of that. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 08:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah. I saw them poking around the other day.  I, believe it or not, still haven't been back to Indiana yet (Parents come here all the time since two of their children are now in the same city).  I will try to get them to unearth it.  I will add it to the New Years Resolutions.  HA!  -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 16:31, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi!
Hi, Nate! My name's Ken, and I'm a good friend of Andrew's. I've been on here for almost a year, but I've never seen you before! I hear you're really into musical theater. I am too, although I'm more of a collector of the movies and soundtracks than being an actor or crew member. Anyway, it's good to meet you! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 06:36, 10 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Ken! I spent a lot of time when Danny, Scott, etc. were first setting up the wiki working on stuff, but then as goes with me, internet free time dried up.  I still try to pop on a little to add quirky stuff I might run across, but it's few and far between.  Sigh.  And the rumors are true.  I am a huge theatre dork (musical and straight plays).  Thanks for the intro, and nice to meet you too! -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 17:48, 10 January 2008 (UTC)


 * What show are you doing right now? -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 06:24, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * You people are sucking me back in! HA!  I'm doing a trio of one acts right now by John Patrick called Suicide Anyone?.  It's a different but fun little show.  I took a big sabatical from doing really anything in my life for about three years, so it's nice to finally be diving head first into what I love.  I'm going out in a bit for The Producers, so keep your fingers crossed on that one for me.  (Just a regional theatre show, not the tour).  We open tonight though, so this ride is coming to it's final legs of it's journey!  HUZZAH!  -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 17:38, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, even though by the time you get this the show will be over, good luck tonight! And let us know about The Producers.  It's always nice to hear about what other creative people are doing! -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 07:22, 12 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks Ken. It went very well.  I actually got singled out in the review as "outstanding" (only two actors from the show received any specific critique in the review), so I had to brag for a second.  Was a nice thing to read in the paper the next morning after such a crazy couple of years. -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 16:34, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

The Mob
Nate! We missed you! And if the date for 1 vs 100 is correct, I still have a chance to tape it. Sounds neat. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:28, 8 January 2008 (UTC)


 * That's why I wanted to get it on here, in case nobody had heard of it yet. I won't be home to see it either, and need to get someone to tape it for me (I miss the days of VCRs).  I still try to pop in from time to time.  I've got so much I still want to put up here.  -- ''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 22:30, 8 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey, if need be, send me an e-mail (it's in my profile), and I'll try to get you a copy (I'm behind on mailing stuff to people, but it will get there). Also, I now have "Good old reliable Nathan!" in my head. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:36, 8 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Lord I foget how to do stuff on here it's so long between things. Anywhose, you don't have to do that.  I'll rely on good ole you tube or reruns.  I'm doing a show right now, so my time to watch anything is zero.  I've got a pile of Christmas DVDs to get thru yet.  Make sure to update the page for me though!  --  ''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 19:10, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Yay
Hey babe -- It's good to see you again! Check your profile (the tab at the top). I just sent you a "gift". :) -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hooray!! I just wish I had more time to get on here.  It's looking so amazing now!!!!  ''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 17:07, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Sesame Street Live
Hey, Nate! Are you still back? If so, we could use some context and dates for Silly Dancing, if you have it. Thanks! We've missed you. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 17:52, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Eep. I popped in to check something and thought to check here.  Glad I did.  I don't think I have the program Andrew, but I will double check to make sure.  -- me

Pipe Dream
Hi, Nate! It's exciting to see you back on the wiki again! And what an odd thing to bring -- the proposed Pipe Dream movie. Is there any other information in the book? Do you know who made the proposal, or when, or why? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:28, 4 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey Kid. I know.  I have just all but abandoned the 'net for almost a year!!  I had to put this in here though, and have a few other things I want to add when I have a chance.


 * I have no other information. The exact quote of the text is as follows, "...and many years later, a film version was proposed, then shelved - it was to have starred the Muppets."


 * I will see what I can dig up as to who, what, where. Obviously he's got sources on this somewhere.  The author is amazing, and the book is like crack for a theatre geek like me.  Just had to include it here though.  Way to random to not share with everyone. -- (It's been so long I forgot how to do a signature)

Muppet Show On Tour songs
Hey babe: I added some tables on The Muppet Show On Tour, to put all the song information in one place. We're probably never going to have any more information for some of those songs (especially the instrumentals), so I figured we could put all the information that you added on the main article page, and then delete the short articles. I'm keeping the articles for songs that have also been performed in other productions, and obviously, if we get more information about any of the songs, we can create the page again. Is that cool with you? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 13:53, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow! Those boxes are pretty cool.  I've got no beef with it.  The only thing I might change is the collumn named "songs", as some of those are skits, not songs.  A minor point, but it popped out at me this morning.  I'm not going to try to fix it right now, as I'm going back to bed.  Too much Cinco De Mayo, and too old to do that anymore! (and been forever since I had).  --''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 18:41, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point, I didn't think of that! I changed it to "Act" instead of "Song". Does that work? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:37, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me!! --''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 04:12, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Animated Celebs
I'm dooming myself on a final paper, but Nate, I'd suggest disambiguation for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It strikes me as confusing to list the page for the movie under celebs and animated characters, and Michaelangelo was the only one to appear in the special (and, as with Huey, Dewey, and Louie, had no real interaction with the Muppet Babies either). Plus of course Michaelangelo is also a creature. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:41, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point. I might just do a page for Michaelangelo then.  I will do it, but I'll put it off til morning (most likely).  Mainly because I'm about to crash for the night myself!  Now get back to your finals Mister!  --''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 04:43, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, while I won't stop you, keep in mind that all of these guys just happened to appear in the same special, there was no real interaction (and the main reason I'd hesitated to create pages; but hey, you're filling up one of my favorite categories). -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:47, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It's one of my favorite "categories" too. But since Jughead Jones and Batman count for being on Sesame Street, I thought "Why not!".  Even though I know Sesame Street is a Henson deal and Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue wasn't.  I'm still going to make that stretch.  --''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 04:49, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * But Batman actually talked back to Bert and Ernie! He's tight with the B & E, man! When he's not trapped in their TV set, anyway. Just don't do individual Smurfs or Chipmunks, is all I ask. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:52, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * One page for the Smurfs is all they deserve! --''<font color="Purple">Nate  (<font color="Purple" size="1">talk ) 04:54, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm okay with the All-Stars characters all being on the wiki -- they appeared in the same production as the Muppet Babies, so I think they count. Plus, I'm sure at some point we'll find other connections between 'em. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 13:55, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

A Whole New World
It's in the beginning stages, but I give you International Celebrities. I've uploaded a ton of photos, but right now, I'm adding them in a little at a time, and generally leaving out IMDb and Wikipedia links, so feel free to go wild! --Andrew, Aleal 20:37, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
