[edit] Welcome to my inbox

Leave me a note or message here! Yes that is correct, but the article is a summary of well over 100 and more impartial then the last one on Frank LaGrotta written by the New Castle News where they flat out called LaGrotta a liar, and convicted felon, will that is all true. Still. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.247.22.51 (talk) 18:21, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Duped Economic policymakers discuss and act on food and credit crises

Sorry, TUFKAAP, I checked the developing stories, but somehow still missed that you had started one. That would have saved me a lot work (*hits self in head*) furthermore your story calls attention to a mistake in mine, which I will fix now (*hits self in head again*).

[edit] Computex 2008

About conflicts, in fact..

1. There are two official COMPUTEX websites, but established respectively by different organizer.
2. Since the TAITRA opened the registration for Media Accreditation, the TCA (Taipei Computer Association) also did at theirs website, too.
3. They recruited with different companies, TAITRA for foreign participants, but TCA is for Taiwanese and Japanese (with IPPC.biz) participants.

Currently, just some information as I got from the Exhibition Section of TAITRA. Brock ^contact... 11:34, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Block

If I may, why did you issue a one-week block to an IP that hasn't been used in four weeks? How does that make anyone safer? --SVTCobra 03:17, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bob Barr Removal Article Review

TUFKAAP, I wrote an article tonight on Bob Barr's possible removal from the Libertarian Party's presidential nomination. If you could review it, that would be a great help. Thanks.

--WNewsReporter (talk) 01:56, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I've added a new source and fixed the title. Please take another look at this when you get a chance. Thanks. --WNewsReporter (talk) 02:48, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why did you delete...

File:World F 29May2007at1100UTC.jpg? There's a link to it on Portal:Weather_°F. From the caption, User:DragonFire1024 uploaded it. I couldn't find it in WP:DR archives for items deleted around that time, so I'm guessing it was a speedy. TransUtopian (talk) 05:14, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your use of rollback tool, and a note on peer review

Regarding your use of rollback tool here, and here, I wish you had not used the rollback tool for those edits, but in addition to your talkpage post it would have been better for you to take the time to utilize an edit summary to explain your reverts. Also, nowhere does it state that a {{review}} must take the form of using the {{peer reviewed}} template - the review by Cometstyles (talk · contribs) was sufficient. Cirt (talk) 16:55, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Please also see Template_talk:Peer_reviewed#Where_does_it_state_that_use_of_this_template_is_the_required_format_for_a_review.3F. Cirt (talk) 17:17, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

That can be arranged, and likely should. There have been discussions about de-admining for abuse of editor privileges where a peer review has not been conducted. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 18:27, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] presidential results template

I worked off BBC and CNN for my update to the template, 3rd party votes are just listed as Other so I don't have the distribution details on them. If you've got a source for this, please share. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 09:25, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hey!

I was just about to come here to put the article you just deleted up for review. I thought I had a two day warning. --Elassint (talk) 23:01, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Shameless plug

This, http://www.kohchangsalakphet.com/index_e.html, is the website of my partner's brother's business/resort on Koh Chang (Elephant Island). When we visited a couple of years ago there were very few western tourists, only saw a couple of backpackers in the island's main town.

The seafront chalets are on stilts over the water, a pier runs out to where they keep nets for fresh fish and for boats to come in, and the restaurant, while covered, is open air. You'd fly into the Trat regional airport, likely hire a car, and it is a short drive to the ferry crossing to the island. The beaches are virtually deserted, and spotlessly clean. The island's interior is nearly jungle, and there are many beautiful waterfalls around the place. Driving into the northern half of the island can be an experience though, some of the roads rise very steeply and you've got to be cautious. In any case, much less touristy that Phuket, you don't get hassled by people selling stuff on the beach and, like a lot of Thailand, you are made very welcome. Oh, and the seafood is fabulous. You simply won't get it any more fresh. You order, they fish it out a net, kill, gut, cook, and serve. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 09:40, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Thanks for your review and the publish template on my written article US Supreme Court allows 'light' cigarettes lawsuits - but despite its being published, it does not appear on the first or front page, since it was not sighted as just draft version has appeared in the history tab. Please help in fixing the matter so that it is sighted and appears on the front page for Dec.17. Cheeers and happy holiday.--Florentino Floro (talk) 05:49, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry, I got it. Bawolff ☺☻ 06:21, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A penny for your thoughts

Okay, not really, but I am requesting your participation in the following Water Cooler Discussion: OR and Broadcast report.

This can include both news-style reports and non-news reports, such as a sporting event. Thanks and again, please share your thoughts on this so we can get as many people involved as possible, especially since this relates to an important topic such as OR. —Calebrw (talk) 05:17, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
