Dollar Coin
editNot sure if you'll be notified that I responded to your request about finding a source for the cash register tills having an extra slot. Just googling it brings up photos with 5 bottom slots: one for pennies, one for nickels, one for dimes, one for quarters, and another for half dollars. It's possible not all have them, but I believe most do. When I spend dollar coins, it is often this extra slot they put them in. {Using $2 bills is a bit more tricky as there is no extra slot for other bills than those that are common.} http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16848297053&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Cash+Drawers%2fBoxes%2fTrays-_-N82E16848297053&gclid=CNP6jcrB5rQCFUKd4AodwDQA9A — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.233.161.6 (talk) 23:50, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Deepwater Horizon oil spill
editHi, Vchimpanzee. You have been an active editor on Deepwater Horizon oil spill and/or its related articles. During some last months there has been an active development of cleaning up that article by splitting off large sections into separate articles. A Deepwater Horizon series were created (all the articles accessible by Template:Deepwater Horizon oil spill series. You are invited to assist by cleaning-up and copy-editing these articles. There are also ongoing discussion concerning additional split-offs. You could see split-off templates at the article's page and find discussions at the talk page. Your input would be useful for building consensus on these issues. Thank you. Beagel (talk) 23:28, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Barefoot Landing
editThanks for fixing all my spelling and grammar errors I'm sorry about that I guess I was editing the article when I was tired and though I should have stopped I wanted to get it finished, so again I'm sorry about that and I will try hard to check my spelling and grammar. I also wanted to also thank you for converting the list of well to a list and the reason I had it the way I had it is because I thought making list would make the artilce look long, but it atcually looks fine and thanks for the other improvments you made to the article.

Re:Barefoot Landing
editYeah it was a mess and I guess my spelling and grammar errors made it more of a mess I should have checked my spelling and grammar before submitting it. I agree all the edits clutter up the history and yeah the list needed to be done and yeah I guess not could have just listed the well known stores are provided a link to the others. It's okay with me about the Pavilion plan as it needed to be removed and in fact I working on the entire Myrtle Beach Pavilion article (within my sandbox until I get done) as it didn't have the park history before, so I'm working on that and also needed additional citations for verification and rewritting it so it doesn't sound like a news release or written in an overly promotional tone. UnknownElement (Talk) 19:48, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
If you want you a more then welcome to help with the Myrtle Beach Pavilion article though it is in my sandbox until it is ready to publish live on Wikipedia, but your more than welcome to help me with it if you like. UnknownElement (Talk) 22:01, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

editAbout my signature?
editOh, well, actually I'm a very less active member in En.Wiki. It's not my native language and I haven't create any article here.
About your considering about my signature (template included from personal user page)? I don't really get your wondering/issue. I see it well in different browsers as well as logged-in account or guest IP access...
I've no idea how it look like to you and what exactly unreadable?! You mean it's virtually unreadable due its fontsize or color combination or something like that... Or you see failed templated code.. or just didn't see anything (then why you know that's a signature there and it not works like it supposed to be??)
And I know, this conversation is so random, topic is very regular but I saw you wrote in my personal userpage about it, so I reply here. U know u're late, again!

8 West Third Street and other Winston-Salem tall buildings
editHi Vchimpanzee, thank you for starting the 8 West Third Street article and for inviting my participation in this area by posting at my Talk page. As you may have seen i was a little confused temporarily there about the NRHP-listing facts, which got cleared up there, happily.
I also see you've contributed in related articles, adding a pic to the Nissen Building which it seems you started as an article several years ago. I wonder if you found your way to me because I started the National Register of Historic Places listings in Forsyth County, North Carolina list-article? I split out and developed a lot of similar county-NRHP-list-articles at the time, actually, and didn't have a specific connection to Winston-Salem or Forsyth County. But I am glad to see some development in this area, am interested in general. :)
I see these two are both tall buildings in Winston-Salem, and that there is a List of tallest buildings in Winston-Salem article that is related (to which i just added a little). And that there's info you put into the 8 West Third Street article about other buildings of interest, i.e. mention of a 1915 O'Hanlon Building and a 1921 Hotel Robert E. Lee that could be added to develop the Tallest building list article at least (if not to be used for new articles about them too?). I'm aware of "Tallest building" type lists elsewhere, and I guess I like them. On this one I wonder if pics could/should be added in a new column, tho i am not sure if that is usually done. (Pics are a highly valued part of all the NRHP county/city list-articles.) Anyhow I wonder if you possibly are interested in developing that more? And, either way, great to see you contributing. Keep up the good work! Cheers, --doncram 16:16, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

the aborted WTHZ/WWLV community change to Faith NC
editHey, Vchimpanzee, I've been watching your activity on radio discussion boards and the WWLV Wikipedia entry for a couple years and thought you might be interested in ... the REST of the story (apologies to Paul Harvey). Unfortunately, a bit of background is necessary first.
In 2002, I was apparently the first person to notice the fatal threat to WNCW's Charlotte translator posed by the planned move-in on the translator's first adjacent frequency of WABZ-FM (now WQNC) from Albemarle to Charlotte (putatively to serve Indian Trail). As a dedicated listener and financial supporter of WNCW, I looked into WABZ-FM's Charlotte "move-in" and discovered the whole move-in phenomenon was a gross abuse of FCC regulations that were intended to favor small towns obtaining "their own" radio stations.
For the next 10 years, my primary free-time obsess... er, hobby, was campaigning for the FCC to correct this perversion of an originally beneficial rule for the purely private profit of its commercial radio licensees. My campaign concluded last year with the Commission's "Rural Radio" rule-making, in which it cited the data I provided to support its rule changes, but explicitly rejected my suggested remedy in favor of a more licensee-friendly version (see http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=7022033975 , paragraphs 10 and 18 and footnotes 41 and 72-75, as well as footnote 76, which pretty well shut off any further effort on my part).
During my ten-year campaign, in addition to actively participating in two FCC rule-makings (stimulating lively opposition by commercial licensees), I vigorously opposed seven specific FM community-of-license changes, including three in the Charlotte area (WABZ-FM/WQNC, WAGI-FM/WNOW-FM/WOSF, and WTHZ/WWLV). I entered the game too late for WABZ-FM, but I obtained Pyrrhic victories in blocking the latter two by forcing the licensees to withdraw their requests to change community of license. Uniquely in those two cases, my standard argument that the change was an irrational application of the FCC's "first local service" FM frequency allotment preference was supplemented with evidence that the licensee had knowingly misrepresented "reasonable assurance" of transmitter site availability in their application, an offense that could force the Commission to revoke their broadcast license. Withdrawing their requests to change community rendered my objections moot in the FCC's eyes, allowing the Commission to ignore the evidence of misrepresentation I had presented.
Why Pyrrhic victories? Because both Gaffney Broadcasting and Davidson County Broadcasting were able engineer their coverage objectives even without a community-of-license change. In the case of WTHZ/WWLV, the original 2003 Mt. Ulla application did not request a community change. However, in 2009, after construction of his Mt. Ulla facility had been stalled by zoning issues for six years, Gig Hilton filed an application to change his city of license from Lexington to Faith NC. That change could have allowed him to sidestep his Mt. Ulla zoning problem by giving him lots of flexibility to choose a better (or at least less controversial) Charlotte-market site.
At the time, I was regularly monitoring FM city-of-license change applications nationwide, looking for particularly egregious cases to oppose. My strategy was to either (1) force the FCC to alter how they interpreted their "first local service" allotment preference policy or (2) bring an FCC-approved (but, I would argue, meritless) change for review before the Federal Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit. Gig's Faith NC application popped right up on my radar, conveniently located in my own back yard. However, by withdrawing his application shortly before license-renewal time, he evaded my strategy even before the Commission's footnote 76 (referenced above) shut my campaign down for good.
Gig's still trying, but at least his license is still firmly anchored in Lexington.
Final note: my impression is that you and most radio discussion board participants tend to support (or at least not oppose) rural-to-urban radio move-ins. However, the sole legal justification for the vast majority of move-ins is that they increase public benefit by giving their new community of license "an outlet for local self-expression." Far better than I, you guys know any pretense that WQNC serves Indian Trail in any meaningful sense is a complete fiction. The same goes for most of the about 1000 other stations that abandoned their long-time hometowns since a tiny 1989 rule change opened the flood gates to this practice (probably not by accident; the late Commissioner James Quello clearly identified that danger in his unsuccessful opposition at the time). In the unlikely event you're interested in examining the question further, one of my last filings at the FCC gives a pretty fair but relatively succinct overview of the arguments against such move-ins: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=7021347462 .

Changing Local Radio Station Logos
editHi! My name is Tracy West and I'm the Digital Content Manager for Entercom Communications here in Greenville, SC. We cover WSPA, WORD, WTPT, WROQ and WFBC. I noticed that recently you remarked on a change that someone else made to one of our Wikipedia pages for WSPA, Magic 98.9. I'm new to changing pages on Wikipedia and I need to change out some of our logos to our new logos. Can you help me figure out how to do that or point me in the right direction? I've played and and played and played but I can't figure out how to change out the ACTUAL logo.
