There hasn't been Ben's crossword in the last two issues. Does anyone know if he's on vacation or not coming back? Robert Happelberg 20:10, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Dan Savage's Savage Love column this week says "Damn you, Wikipedia!" Carla Bondicteuresse 21:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- I've asked Elonka what's the proper way to list this in WP:PRESS. I haven't done it because Savage's column is a syndicated feature. Robert Happelberg 23:43, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Error log
The Metro Times makes very few mistakes, and has a good track record of issuing corrections regarding factual errors.
- October 1-7. Billionaire candidate Dick DeVos's campaign manager John Truscott is in one paragraph referred to as "Turscott."
- September 6-12. Jack Lessenberry humbly acknowledged that he made a mistake about the deathplace of Iris Ovshinsky.
- August 9-15. Juan Cole's article refers to Hezbollah as "Hizbullah."
- July 5-11, 2006. Page 25, review for Robert Fanning's The Seed Thieves has the cover art with a caption that says "The Seed Theives."
- May 17 - 23, 2006. The review for Water by Deepa Mehta referred to the director with the pronoun "he".
- May 3 - 9, 2006. Page 36, review for Akeelah and the Bee, third paragraph says "Akeelah ... can spell words like 'prestidigitation' in a snap, but she's conceals [sic] the talent from her peers."
- September 21 - 27, 2005. Page 24, headline for review of Proof reads "Paltrow plus Hopkins plus mathmatics [sic] equals Oscars."
And there was one of Lessenberry's column that said "necessarily" when "necessary" made more sense, or viceversa, but I don't remember the date.
