Thanks so much GelfingWaldo.

So far I've added info. on Camila the Chicken and Bunsen, and right now I'm adding pictures to all the Muppet Action Figures.

I want to help but I want to put in pictures. Can someone help me? I don't know how to put the pictures in.

Surely Kyle, on the left hand side, near the bottom of the page, there's a button that says "Upload file" and then just upload your file. But make sure to give a description of the pic you upload.

This website has so much info on things that we have really tried to look for. I am loving every bit of it.

 

[redBoobergurl]

It is really cool. I could spend hours looking through all the information! Unfortunately I don't have the hours to spend doing that! Oh well, like I said, it is really cool I hope to look up something new everyday!

Here's the page about Frank Oz!!!


Richard Frank Oznowicz: May 25, 1944 - present
Frank was born in England in 1944, and moved to America when he was five. He joined the Henson company in 1963, as a right hand for Rowlf. He was then nineteen years old. It took him four years to work up the courage to do his own voices for his characters.
Starting in mid-1990's, after 30+ years of faithful Muppeteering, Frank started to transition himself away from his Muppet duties to focus on directing. He occasionally performs his characters on Sesame Street, but most of his classic characters, like Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Animal, Sam Eagle, Bert, Grover and others have been recast to other performers - mainly Eric Jacobson.

Quotes

• "The biggest problems with movies are expectations."

• "Piggy is certainly hard, but that's just part of the job. I don't even think about it. She's also hard because I have to reach down into the feminine part of myself and bring that up. It's not just the surface with her. There are a lot of neuroses in her. So I have to come from a different place with Piggy."

• "I'd like to read a book sometime. I've never read a book before. That'd be an adventure. I understand they have pages and everything. Yeah, I've got to do that sometime."

• "Growing up it was girls and sports. That was the interest, mainly. I never wanted to be a puppeteer."

• "In order to be a star performer you have to have someone to play against."

As of right now the Muppet Wiki home page is covered with adult links! Not Good.

 

[OverUnderAround]

Whew! Glad to see someone removed them!

OK... Looks like someone stole... er, borrowed my idea.
Well, never mind, it'll all be good for when I finally can devote my time to taking the Muppet Listing research full-time and into hardcore research, converting and publishing it all as the Muppet Universe.

My fear with a project like this one though, is that it operates just like Wicapedia... Anyone can add or delete submissions, you can get pernicious ads like the ones mentioned by OverUnderAround, the reliability and responsability of the information posted isn't 100% completely true.
Putting aside my grudge with Danny for discouraging me from joining TP's forum, I'm just gonna let you guys go at it for now. Will make my work less strenuous when/if I finally make it there.

Hope everyone has a good time at that place though.
