Redirect of LEOS

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on LEOS, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because LEOS is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting LEOS, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Passenger ships

Hello, and let me add my welcome as well! I have removed your recent edit to Cruise ship, as the vessel you mentioned is more properly categorized as an Ocean liner rather than a cruise ship. You will find some discussion of the difference on the talk page for Ocean liner and also in the Passenger ship article. Regards, Kablammo 07:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Any relation to Wookieepedia? - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 19:36, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

No, unfortunately I didn't become aware of Wookiepedia until well after I'd made this name. Oops and rats, I'd thought I was so clever when I was registering this name for the first time. Oh well. But I do like Chewbacca. Actually, I like Princess Leia more 8^o

Good work...

...adding sources and detail to 2008 Summer Olympics opening ceremony. I'm trying to clarify one thing, though -- the U.S. broadcast was a time delay half a day later. I watched the live Polish and German coverage (channel-surfing between both) and no-one mentioned the use of CGI "fireworks" -- but NBC did 12 hours later. I'm not sure the live broadcasters realized this would be added to the feed; perhaps the story "broke" during this time? Regards, ProhibitOnions ^(T) 20:50, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the acknowledgement!

As far as I can tell, the earliest that the story "broke" was August 10 Beijing-time (from the Daily Telegraph in the UK), after the ceremony had already finished airing around the world. The Daily Telegraph article was mentioned as the source for the Associated Press article, which then got distributed to all of the other newspapers and news sites.

The footprint segment only lasted about 50 seconds; is it possible that European commentators' explanations were very brief and that most viewers missed it? Or is is possible that European commentators had the information, but chose not to mention it on air?

Both Costas and Lauer made statements about the footage during their commentary; therefore, it seems unlikely that NBC would have roused BOTH of them out of bed to re-dub their commentary for that one 50-second spot (out of a total of 4 hours of events), especially since both guys had a lot of on-air work to do for the remaining two weeks; only one would have been sufficient for a re-dub. Also, I don't think in the 12-hour time lag anybody could have predicted that the information would cause a minor uproar.

Plus, if NBC had bothered to do an audio edit, the two made some comments that should have been edited out! (By the way, it was quite clear that the two were physically at the Bird's Nest during the ceremony because they did short spontaneous interview segments with the stadium audience behind them just before the ceremony began and just after it ended.)

Interesting. So the Chinese did let some people know ahead of time, then... ProhibitOnions ^(T) 19:02, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
