Disney's 100th anniversary

[edit]

I just saw an ad for "Disney on Ice" which said it was celebrating 100 years. 100 years of what? Walt was born in 1901. Little Red Riding Hoodtalk —Preceding undated comment was added at 00:53, 8 October 2008 (UTC).[reply]

The 100 Years celebration began in 2002. It was slated for Christmas season in 2001, but then September 11, 2001 came and they put it off for a bit. Are you certain you saw a new poster, not a reprint of an old poster? -- kainaw 01:00, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't a poster, it was a commercial. Little Red Riding Hoodtalk 02:13, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

book rankings

[edit]

If I wrote a book, could I look up the ranking? I can find the top ten books, but where would I find the ranking for a book that might be in the 500,000's or so? The website is what I need. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.225.133.60 (talk) 11:08, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This page (http://www.rampant-books.com/mgt_book_sales_tracking.htm) might be of use. It suggests you can use Amazon, snap-scan and junglescan - amazon sales rank is explained a little here (http://www.rampant-books.com/mgt_amazon_sales_rank.htm) 194.221.133.226 (talk) 12:00, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
