A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on September 29, 2008, September 29, 2011, September 29, 2014, September 29, 2015, September 29, 2017, and September 29, 2020.

I changed "a little bit famous" to "a modicum of success." This is because it sounds, like, better. Paul 23:48, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

_{I have to disagree. While "a little bit famous" is rather poorly constructed, I believe "modicum" has a negative connotation. (As is, keep a modicum of self-control in the courtroom, a minimal amount.) It would be best if the original author indicated exactly what he meant by this sentence. As it stands, it serves no purpose other than as a placeholder for the names of the two gentlemen, and would require citation. If anything, I would remove it altogether and replace it with something more informational.}70.54.255.66 16:41, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added some content, and re-organized the article by adding a second section. I also added a nice colour photo. --Vyrus724 23:55, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just want to thank the writer for credit Canada. The Canadian-produced Trivial Pursuit, shockingly, gives credit to India as being third... I'd only add, from what I've heard, Alouette cost only C$3million. Trekphiler 23:57, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Switched off? Why?

The article doesn't make it clear why it was switched off. It's not as if it were wasting electricity. JDS2005 (talk) 04:58, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

References

Great start to this article, however it would be most helpful if we could move towards inline citations instead of a list of external links. Anyone familiar enough with the subject to help ? //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 21:27, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clean-up

I did some polishing since this clearly wasn't Start anymore and was close to B. I hate the current citations format, but that can be fixed later. Anyway, it's a little messy behind the scenes but now a serviceable article. --Neopeius (talk) 08:23, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
