Wikipedia rant
I've been watching Ghost Whisperer (Aavekuiskaaja) on telly. It reminds me of Medium, but it's much tamer and instead of visions, the main character in Ghost Whisperer can actually see and talk with the ghosts. I think that it's the second season that I've been following. Anyway, I brought this up because the opening of the show is one of the coolest openings that I've seen in a long while. I got goosebumps on my arms the first time that I saw that bee girl.
I was convinced that the actress playing the main character was the same one who played Buffy, but apparently I was wrong. (I followed Buffy the first time that it was on telly, but I wasn't all that serious about it.) Buffy was played by Sarah Michelle Gellar while Melinda in Ghost Whisperer is played by Jennifer Love Hewitt. They look so similar! But this does explain a lot. I was quite amused the first time that I saw Ghost Whisperer because it seemed so amusing to see the actress of Buffy doing such a role where she solves problems by talking. I'm bad with peoples names, but I usually don't make these kind of mistakes because I'm good with remembering faces.I refound a Wikipedia article that I've been searching for for quite a long time: List of One Piece story arcs. It's been deleted from Wikipedia in 2008 because it's considered to be fancruft. I've been looking for this particular One Piece article from Wikipedia a number of times since it vanished from there. With a series that has over 400 episodes it's a lot more convenient to look for something based on arcs that it is to look for something from a list of seasons and episodes. When there hasn't been anything better at hand I've had to hunt down specific episodes by relying on the episode names, but over 400 episodes is a large haystack.
This is the first time that I've come across the term "fancruft". In this particular instance I don't understand why it was necessary to delete that list of OP story arcs, but still let the episode list remain. I don't understand why anyone would be interested in either, if they weren't watching One Piece and thus could be considered to be a "fan". What possible use could such information be to anyone else? And of the two articles the story arc one was a lot more useful. I can understand that with most series such a list of story arcs would be pretty redundant, if you had the episode list, but OP has over 400 episodes. 400! That's 13 seasons. No normal person, even a fan, can remember what each season in a series of this size is about, but arcs are much easier to recall and as such they're the easiest place to look for a specific episode or story that you want to find. I just don't get why it was necessary to delete the list of OP story arcs from Wikipedia. :/ I'm glad that I found it from elsewhere, because I really had been looking for it.

Other than these occasional grievances I'm a total Wikipedia addict. I'm there almost daily. It's just so handy. Usually.BTW, latest One Piece episodes have been kicking major ass. There's a new character who's even more outrageous than Bon Clay-sama, who is one of my favorite OP characters. :p My brain just made an intuitive leap... Bon Clay's legs reminded me of the Purple Marauder from Poison Elves comic (picture possibly NSFW). There's some semblance there. Scary...
