Talk:Holerö

Anyone know why the IPA symbols aren't displayed correctly? (Or are they? Not for me.) I'm talking about these: [hɔləˈʁøː] The symbols ɔ and ʁ should be bigger. Time Questions 11:29, 14 March 2009 (EDT)

What browser are you using? In Firefox, the symbols are bigger than in IE. -- Son of Suns (talk)

They look exactly the same for me in Firefox and IE. Except for the last one, which is too big in IE. Time Questions 12:13, 14 March 2009 (EDT)

Strange...I'm not sure why they are changing differently... -- Son of Suns (talk)

Do either of these look right? [hɔləˈʁøː] [hɔləˈʁøː] Not understanding the IPA myself, I've just copied the relevent formatting info from Wikipedia... - 2257^(Talk) 02:19, 7 April 2009 (EDT)

The symbols in the second one look consistent, but yeah, it's a different font. I guess the font of our wiki doesn't include those symbols? Time Questions 02:24, 7 April 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, our default font is Verdana, which contains only a few symbols. I guess it falls back on times new roman for the symbols that don't exist in Verdana, creating the inconsistent look. - 2257^(Talk) 02:32, 7 April 2009 (EDT)

Useless page?

Why do we have an article talking about some exclamation people make? Sure, it's a running gag, but does the term by itself play any major plot role (i.e. anyone who says this will turn into a wheel of cheese)? There is a song with it in the title, but it isn't directly the word causing it, so... I think this article is useless. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 00:19, 10 February 2014 (EST)

It's the universe scenario all over again: word naturally common in German produced comics gets article on some ham-fisted basis that there's a need for deeper analysis or something. I'm reminded of SFWikia, back when I had to wipe an article on Dan's "Yahoo!" catchphrase.

EDIT - Another glance mentions the transforming song from one comic, which seems legit, but whoever wrote this seems to have looked for straws and padded it from there. Lord G. matters. 02:37, 10 February 2014 (EST)

As I mentioned earlier, the transforming song doesn't directly relate to the term; if it was merely "Holerö" that causes things to happen, we should've gotten, perhaps, a short article. But it isn't "Holerö" itself causing the transformation. It's the song. So, you seem to agree with me that this article be deleted. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 14:02, 10 February 2014 (EST)
