[edit]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)

Merge with yours? you decide which :) DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 04:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
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*). Cheers, --SVTCobra 21:04, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Computex 2008
[edit]About conflicts, in fact..
- There are two official COMPUTEX websites, but established respectively by different organizer.
- Since the TAITRA opened the registration for Media Accreditation, the TCA (Taipei Computer Association) also did at theirs website, too.
- 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)
Block
[edit]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)

Why did you delete...
[edit]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)
Your use of rollback tool, and a note on peer review
[edit]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)
- Link to said discussions? Cirt (talk) 18:31, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit]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)

Shameless plug
[edit]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)

Hi
[edit]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)

RE Worldwide airport security
[edit]Actually i don't know how I could have missed Denver VS Detroit...I totally just did not see that and don't know what I was thinking since I am from Detroit originally. Total fail on my part. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 09:08, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Regarding lead one
[edit]Hi TUFKAAP, just wanted to say that i (partially) reverted your edit here. Whereas the photoessay is a "sister" article directly relevant to the in-depth article, and the two complement each other with photos and text, the Limbaugh story is slightly more off-topic and i don't feel it merits inclusion in the "See also" list. (Also, the formatting skews the main page a bit, we usually don't have that many blank spaces on the ledes). Feel free to revert me, though, if you feel particularly strongly about it. Cheers, Tempodivalse [talk] 02:31, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Points distribution for Polish plane crash article
[edit]Hi, TUFKAAP. I want to tell you that I am unclear about the points distribution concerning the Polish president article I submitted. While the article was initially worth 11 points, it has since been expanded and is now worth 31 points. Since the article was originally worth 11 points and I added text worth 4 points to it today, I propose I get 15 points, you get 12 points as you contributed slightly less text than I did and TDV gets the remaining 4 points for his contribs. Please tell me what you think about this or leave your comments here. Cheers, Pmlineditor discuss 09:11, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
