Reverted your McMurdo Station Edit

While there is a TDRS uplink at McMurdo the TDRS system does not carry McMurdo's data and voice traffic. NPOESS handles data and voice.

Tas50, thanks for your comment. As I explain elsewhere, no NPOESS satellite was never launched. The article you reference talks about it as something that will happen in 2008 if all goes to plan. Needless to say, things did not go according to plan. Ddama (talk) 07:37, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Know your facts

I serve on board the USS Ohio and do not appreciate you removing our current ship's motto of "We intend to go in harms way". The fact that you label it as vandalism is appauling as you obviously have not fully researched the subject. Judging by the history of the Ohio wiki, you are on some sort of crusade. I recommend you leave things be.

Well, anonymous, I documented my facts. If you want to change the Ohio entry again, I suggest you do the same for yours. And I suggest you leave your name and rank if you post on my Talk page again, as your IP has been used to vandalize a number of pages, including this one. In responding to your comment, rather than deleting it, I am assuming you are not that vandal. Ddama 01:24, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for your recent copyedit in JPof1920. I especially appreciate the judgment, didn't realize the diff between the two. --Humus sapiens Talk 04:08, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Rewriting Roman Empire Article

That Article on the Roman Empire was basically an overview of emperors. It showed nothing real siginificant that happened to Rome as a whole within the 400 or so years of its existence. I will support you in re-writing this article, and please do it as soon as possible. Colipon 03:43, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Harlem-125th Street

Hi! Thanks for your addition to Harlem-125th Street train station. I'm slowly but surely adding entries for all the Metro-North stations and researching the histories of the more important ones. (Most will probably remain stubs, alas.) If you have any more info to share, see List of Metro-North Railroad stations. -- Friedo 10:30, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)

the eventual overhaul of the Roman Empire article

Hi, I read your post about your intention do make a major overhaul in the Roman Empire article and I agree with you. That article is in my opinion a big mess. But I really believe that the article should end with the final division and the reasons behind it. To continue the article after that, as if nothing really had happened, and call one of the two sucessors "Roman Empire" and the other one "Byzantine Empire" (or something else)is simply misleading and plain wrong (and as far as I could see leads to the eternal East-West debate).

The "Old" Roman Empire was divided and both of the sucessesors were roman (by roman I mean roman language, roman culture, roman law and simple believ: they both considered themselves romans). The article should end with the division and then continue with the two existing articles: the largely ignored Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire. Both of them were roman but the western one was "quickly" conquered while the eastern one survived and simply changed with the passing of time (evolved or degenerated it depends of ypur point of view).

Geber

thanx Ddama many people think that anonymous Geber is the same as original Geber but Minorians (from Asia Minor) mistakenly think he was another one and called him pseudo-Geber, but recently they found original books of Jaber which were translated literaly but credited for an anonymous Geber.

Roman Empire: reorganization

Hi Ddama, I read your comments on the overhaul/reorganization of the Roman Empire. Did you have a look at Roman Empire/reorganization yet? Your input would be very welcome both on the article itself and on the discussion page. --Hippalus 08:47, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ddama, thanks for the ad on Talk:Roman Empire! Hopefully it will direct some traffic to Roman Empire/reorganization.--Hippalus 09:54, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll redirect the kudos to their rightful owner ;-) --Hippalus 12:22, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
