Submarine
[edit]Hello Scott. Did you notice that your submarine accident story has been on the main page for 2 days? (Investigation continues into Russian submarine accident that killed 20) Thanks for filing such an interesting and newsworthy article. --InfantGorilla (talk) 10:43, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
- Most welcome. ^^ I just keep my eyes open and every so often something salient comes up that little attention has been paid to, relatively speaking. Scott Sanchez (talk) 17:01, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
NYTimes
[edit]The New York Times is paywalled, and now a days, we avoid using it.
