User talk:DavidGC

Welcome!

Hi there! It seems you've been on Wikipedia for a while now, but no one has yet welcomed you. So welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. I hope you like it here and stick around.

Here are a few handy tips for newcomers:

• If you have any questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or Wikipedia:Where to ask a question.

• When you post something on a talk/discussion page, you can sign your name by using three tildes (" ~~~ ") for your username and four (" ~~~~ ") for your username and a timestamp.

• If you ever find yourself with nothing to do on Wikipedia, have a look at the Community Portal, you'll find that there's always something happening.

If you ever have any questions, comments, or just want to say hi, don't hesitate to write to me on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Happy editing and have a great day! :-) Akamad 11:04, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Re:NSA call database

This sentence: While the database does not contain specific names or addresses, that information is widely available from non-classified sources. And your edit The secondpart of the sentence is fine, I am interested were you got the "While the database does not contain specific names or addresses" Please source all additions to wikipedia.

Thanks for dropping by. Please discuss this issue with Harmil, the article's author, as the unsourced claim regarding names or addresses is present in the original article he posted here. If you are searching for a source, the original author is usually your best resource. --DavidGC 14:00, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Good idea, thanks for your contributions to the article, best wishes.Travb 14:01, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

You deserve this ...

Sorry!

Hey, thanks for catching my mistake on Pensacola Christian College. I was editing at the same time someone was reverting that blanking and I seem to have landed the wrong version on top of the pile. I'm glad someone was more alert than I. -GTBacchus^(talk) 06:30, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi there! Right after I reverted the edit, I was going to leave you a note, but then I had a closer look at the edit history and immediately realized what happened, since your edit and the one before it were only a minute or two apart. No harm done! I then went back and tried to do a fix on the word issue that you had fixed in your edit, since my reversion reverted that change. Cheers! --DavidGC 08:30, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your well-reasoned statements at Talk:Pensacola Christian College. I feel embarrassed that those of us involved in the dispute did not do the same thing days ago. --Kralizec! (talk) 17:41, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome! And thanks. Cheers --DavidGC 10:29, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I apologize...

...for being over-sensitive about the geographical issue about the World Series. There have been various attempts in the past to belittle the Series, to claim that it's "limited to U.S. and Canada", which is technically not true. It's limited to teams in MLB, which is a specific collection of ball clubs that happen to be in U.S. and Canada. No matter how well the Iowa Cubs might do in a given season, for example, they are not eligible for the World Series. If MLB expands to Japan someday, then someone might say the World Series will be "limited" to U.S., Canada and Japan, which would also be a misstatement of the facts.

Thanks for explaining this. I was unfamiliar with the past controversies surrounding the issue, and this helps put the reaction into context. The edit was intended to provide some geographical orientation into the opening paragraph, along the lines of similar articles, but I think that the mention of Canadian and U.S. cities in the second paragraph is sufficient, as this is still within the introductory section of the article and should be enough to orient the reader. Again, thanks for your explanation. --DavidGC 10:42, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
