Q: Who wrote/directed what in A.I. (Artificial Intelligence)?

Matt ThrowerAs I understand the development history of this film, Kubrick eventually wrote a screenplay himself, based on the work of previous writers, which he intended to direct himself. He then attempted to pass the film on to his friend Steven Spielberg. On the event of Kubrick's death, Spielberg took up...

Q: Why did Stanley Kubrick include these scenes in 2001: A Space Odyssey?

Q: How does one become a magical artist?

Neo DarwinMagical artists are seemingly able to animate a non living object with the personality of another person, suggesting a great deal of magic ability and skill. Where exactly is this skill taught? Are there magical apprenticeships or a college perhaps?

Q: Looking For Story About Society of People With Deaf-Blindness

user109599The story I'm thinking of is from the 80s, and it's set in a world where the Great Depression never ended, and so in the "present day" the main character, a wanderer, stumbles upon a society of deaf-mutes. This all came to pass because of a drug that created deformities in children when ingested ...

Q: When is Runaways set?

AdamantI always thought Runaways was set roughly concurrent with the main MCU films and shows airing around the same time. However, in Runaways S02E08, we see the following line: STACY: There really is life out there. JANET: And we made contact. Obviously, this would be a peculiar thing ...

@NeoDarwin That's a generic message, not specific on how updating the information to be much more current is bad

Q: Looking for a sci-fi short story about overpopulation, time travel and battle of the sexes

KatoNamusI recall a short story I read many years ago about a soldier or scientist being sent forward in time to see if man survives overpopulation and if we do, how we solved the overpopulation problem. The answer was a literal "war of the sexes". The protagonist even has to drop his pants at one point t...

And then, after being laid under a UV lamp for a couple of seconds, it comes to life and manages to ma...

Q: How old is Thor exactly, 1055 or 1500?

NazgulAccording to MCU wiki, thor's age is around 1055. https://marvelcinematicuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Thor This fact is also proved in Thor movie. But in Avengers Infinity War Thor himself declares that he is 1500 years old. How can that be?

Q: Is there a definitive answer as to the identity of the Hybrid?

The Dark LordThe finale of series nine made several alternative suggestions as to who the Hybrid is. It posits Clara and Me as possible Hybrids. On more than one occasion the Doctor claims to be the Hybrid. However, nothing seems to be definitive. It's all very cloak and dagger, seemingly left up to the view...

Q: In The Martian, how were the crew in the Hermes shielded from radiation?

Jeremy FrenchI have not read the book of The Martian, but there was one glaring omission in the movie that struck me. How were the crew in the Hermes protected from radiation?

Material that blocks all radiation... an interesting choise for a window... just saying. — einpoklum Mar 14 '16 at 21:28

so the ship/station/whatever would be pitch black? That's the joke?

@NeoDarwin people with no friends are unusual, but that's not a funny thing...
 
The best thing about here is that I finally learned how to swim
Never got to do that back home
 
"here" being college?
or a particular location?
 
At my college
Swimming is Mandatory you even need to pass a test in it

@Jenayah I reproduced it on Mi Yodeya.

so apparently not
 
@Jenayah I don't understand how that answer explains it.
Actually, my reproduction may be a slightly different bug.
 
link?
 
Because in your case, it showed the correct date just the wrong name. Mine shows the wrong date as well.
It seems that it just uses the edited date for the created date.
Though granted this is the wiki excerpt, not the wiki itself.
 
> "Similar Questions" algorithm suggests meta.stackexchange.com/q/168852 - but in this case, editor was not the tag's creator, nor were they the one to write the wiki's previous version.
 
11:32 PM
Actually, now I see how that Meta answer addresses my examples but not yours.
 
That was copied from my question :P
 
Basically, what happens is when someone proposes an original edit, the system generates a blank wiki as the creation, and then an edited version with the suggested edit. So in all the cases where my suggestion was the initial edit, it shows that it was created, and edited (proposed) at the same second, both by me.
 
yup
 
So forget it, my examples are not reproductions.
 
:P
 
11:55 PM
I checked all edits that I suggested or reviewed and did not find any with the wrong user.
 
@Alex perhaps you can check the full review history?
(like, a quick check, don't bother too much)
 
That's what I'm doing now.
(The above is on Mi Yodeya, by the way.)
 
yeah, I guessed
since you're >10k
