Jón Þór Birgisson

Hi. I was just wondering if there was any reason why you changed the categories listings for "Jón Þór Birgisson" to "Jon Þor Birgisson". His name is spelt with the accents. Is there some kind of Wikipedia convention regarding this that I'm not aware of? I've reverted it for now. Thanks --Dave ~ (talk) 10:53, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed accents on that and several other articles' category listings for alphabetization purposes. I hoped no-one would mind. --Steve 10:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Founded dates and trivial edits

Please stop changing the founded dates in television station infoboxes. The date that a TV station went on the air was not its founded date. For stations newer than 1978, we have been using the date that the FCC issued the original construction permit, as a station's history precedes its on-air date, sometimes by ten years or more. We use the on-air date only for stations older than 1978, unless there is documentation indicating otherwise. If your sources list the on-air date, I invite you to put that into the History section of the articles (with citation, of course), because it adds to the article. I am kind of puzzled that the two yearbooks seem to list different days; perhaps you should go with one or the other.

Also, there is no need to replace UHF with ultra high frequency, and certainly no need to replace a wikilink with a single capital letter with all lower-case, as they are the same. Wikipedia, by default, capitalizes the first letter of any article, image, template, etc., when storing it. UHF now redirects to Ultra high frequency, so there is no need to redo them. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 05:10, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

I have noticed that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 01:50, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of Television Stations in New Jersey (and elsewhere)

I see that you kept quite busy on August 23 modifying articles "List of Television Stations in (insert state here)", including New Jersey. I like your template, although I'm not sure what the proper protocol is for modifying an existing template for an entire category of articles and whether what you did was appropriate. What I do know is that the New Jersey article is one of the few (if not the only) list of television station articles that had been properly updated to include digital television stations currently on the air. When you modified it, you eliminated every digital television station, and then went on to also delete many of the low power television stations currently licensed and operational in New Jersey. Therefore, I reverted your changes to the New Jersey article.

I would urge you to revisit your creations and restore any information you deleted without cause. The Congressionally mandated transition to digital will be complete in less than 18 months and all the analog stations you are leaving on the list will go dark on or before that date, while the digital ones will continue to broadcast for many years to come (absent a complete shutdown of over-the-air television service, which is highly unlikely anytime soon). The template change is a question for someone else, but if you incorporate your template into the New Jersey article, I will not dispute it so long as the missing information is restored.Rblaster 20:23, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Virtual channel numbers are not the same as the actual over-the-air channel numbers, which define the frequency the station is licensed to broadcast over by the FCC. Cable companies have used channel mapping for years to make certain channels appear to be on others via use of channel processing and/or set-top boxes in conjuction with addressable controllers. This article is not concerned with where the channel can be made to "appear" to be. The fact is (to give one example) that WNJB New Brunswick analog channel 58 (UHF) transmits its digital signal on channel 8 (VHF). I have worked with their engineers on a number of issues and I can attest that they intend to brand as channel 8 after the transition, not 58. I can't say the same thing for channel 2, WCBS-DT, which may continue to brand as channel 2. But their digital signal is channel 56, and the article is intended to reflect where you would pick it up over-the-air, not the 'dial position' that you personally assign to it on your equipment, and certainly not where you will find it from your satellite or cable provider, bcause they can assign nearly any channel number (provided the station agrees). I'm telling you this as someone with a 30+ year cable/broadcast engineering background and the credentials to prove it. -Thanks. Rblaster 03:37, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That looks real good now - you did an excellent job on updating and correcting missing/incorrect information. Sometime when I get a chance, I'll try to make some of the LPTV info more consistent (there was only a couple translators listed and your revisions made this better by including more of them). I'd like to either remove all of them (unlikely) or include the rest (likely) so they are all treated equally. Thanks again! Rblaster 18:47, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: On-air dates of television stations

I understand about the FCC license app date and already knew that. Even so, in the example you cited, KXRM-TV, the on-air date, 1/22/85, was not the license app date, 3/21/85. How do you verify that the station signed on 1/22/85? The standard for Wikipedia is not necessarily truth, but verifiability. Otherwise, any schmoe could put any date as the sign-on date, which is actually what Dingbat2007 and all of his/her sockpuppets are doing. Nor can you just assume that electronically-filed apps coincide with the start of program testing.

Dan Howell's proposed solution on the project talk page is a good one. Have separate template entries for founded date and on-air date. It seems that you, Dan, NeutralHomer and I are the only ones who really give a rat's rear end about this issue, so if you're in favor, let's just go ahead and change the template to show both dates. I'm even willing to give preferential placement to the on-air date over the founded date. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:36, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Callsigns for radio stations

I wasn't aware of any discussion on the matter (whether or not that was because I haven't been around or don't pay as much attention to radio articles I'm not sure) - but my understanding (from looking at Wikiproject Radio) was that it was preferable to use a station name, and failing that a callsign.

Moving 105.7 ABC Darwin - a station that hasn't used the title 8DDD at all AIUI seems a slightly illogical move. For the TV station articles it makes sense because there is no other way of referring to them, but radio stations are a bit different in my view. timgraham 06:10, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The reason the 'mentioning ACMA game' (as it were) got involved with the TV station articles was because they were always named after their callsigns - radio stations however are a mixed bunch. From what I can see ACMA often mention both the callsign and 'on-air ID' for each station (like [1]) I've lost the link, but the other day I read at the WP:RADIO site (or a page related to it) that radio station articles should use the name of the radio station first, or failing that (or if the radio station uses the callsign as its name - like 3AW) use the callsign.

There's also the issue of being able to find articles - if I was looking for the article on Nova 100, I would look for 'Nova 100' rather than its callsign 3MEL (which might even be what I'm looking to find out). The same applies for 3CRR/107.9 ABC Ballarat, Mix 101.1/3TTT and many others.

Out of interest - has there been any discussion about the names that I've missed? I wouldn't want to be bringing up something that's already been settled. timgraham 09:35, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I note that you're still modifying stuff (at least that I see anyway) in infoboxes..I was just wondering if you'd noticed my message? It'd be good if it could be talked over between the interested parties if that is the case.

I would interpret this as meaning that if the station has a 'normal' name that should be used first. timgraham 11:29, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi NWM! Unless you're going to make it into a paragraph complete with references and so on the information isn't really appropriate or relevant to the article.

Redirects

Hey Man. Regarding John Ondrasik: categories don't go on a redirect page. See WP:R#Categories for redirect pages.

... hmmm, maybe I am being hasty with my comment above. It perhaps does make sense to do what you are doing, to allow for the listings to show the person's name at the category page. Anyway, if you use edit summaries, that would make it clearer what you are doing. At first I thought you were just blanking content from Five for Fighting.

Notable in the USA

Yes, it's true they are notable in the sense they are well-known enough to be in wikipedia - but there's an ongoing issue with the Americo-centricity of the birth and death listings in individual year articles. Someone who only has a stub article shouldn't really be listed in these sections. Deb (talk) 12:41, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're missing the point. Only a sub-set of the deaths and births for a year can be listed in the year and date pages - there isn't room for a comprehensive list. The births and deaths shown should be a representative sample, not just a list of minor American actors and singers. Deb (talk) 12:50, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Australian Radio Callsigns

Hi. Why have you changed all the Australian radio stations from their name to their generally unknown callsign? I must say that even though radio stations have callsigns which ACMA, radio in Australia isn't like the US - FM stations would almost never refer to their callsign on-air, it's always the brand name. (note: please reply on this page, and not on my [temporary] IP address's talk page) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.208.109.169 (talk) 08:01, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it you're right. Although I would prefer them to be named after the radio station name, I guess it makes sense to call them by their callsigns. I think, though, that it would be good if on things like Template:Melbourne radio, the stations were named after their branding. 203.208.109.169 (talk) 04:57, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Australian radio station article renamings

Wikipedia's naming convention precludes the radio station article renaming which you undertook in the past couple of months. In Australia, almost without exception FM stations are not known by their call signs, and in some cases AM stations are not known by their callsigns either.

According to WP:NC#Broadcasting:

"Radio and television stations in countries where call signs are customarily used, such as North America, should always be titled with the official call sign as assigned by that country's regulatory authority..."

Despite the situation in Australia in the past, call signs are no longer customarily used in Australia, except in AM broadcasting. The following portion of the naming convention specifies the convention to be used for Australian radio stations:

"In places with a mix of call signs and station names, such as most of Central or South America, the station name should normally be used, except when the call sign is well-known."

I am now going through the articles which you moved, and renaming them where appropriate. If you wish to undertake such a wide-ranging renaming of Australian-related articles in future, I encourage you to first engage in discussion about it somewhere appropriate, like the Australian WikiProject discussion page. - Mark 13:16, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maryland Public Television station chart

The table chart I introduced for this article (and I also plugged in for a few other statewide PBS articles) is very simple to gauge, and doesn't use a great deal of space. If anything else were added, such as an additional column, or the unnecessary-for-here W, then the entire table becomes compromised.

Also, the sign-on dates in my version were taken from the Broadcasting and Cable Yearbook, so unless I misread them, that is what they are. Obviously there is a conflict there, so that needs to be addressed. But the table format should remain the way it is with no further alterations.

List of Television Stations in New Jersey

Back to adding WMCN-TV Atlantic City as analog channel 53 again, huh? We already hashed this out in September, 2007, and I thought it was resolved. The station is digital only. Really. I'm not lying. Go to the Wikipedia article on the station, and you will see for yourself. Then, you can follow the link to the FCC database on this station. It was one of the stations that went full digital early on. Please, please - do not change the article with this incorrect information again. It will be much appreciated.

RE: KPOL

I have separated KPOL from the KHRR article, since I believe if a silent station is sold from one party to another while silent, I consider the previous incarnation separate from the current one as it was under completely different ownership and management from the time before it went dormant (in KPOL's case, 1989) than it was when the frequency signed back on (in KHRR's case, 1992). New World Man (talk) 02:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with your interpretation. It has been consensus of this group that a station's article belongs with its license, and although KPOL went silent before being resurrected as KHRR, it is the same license, and therefore, the same station. KPOL is part of KHRR history, and should remain part of the article. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:05, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WNHT in New Hampshire has an article separate from WPXG, though both WNHT and WPXG have the exact same FCC facility ID (in their case, 48406). That license was also sold while silent, therefore I interpret that as being separate stations. New World Man (talk) 08:17, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That article should be merged with WPXG. There is no television station WHNT in the FCC database. In addition, you have found one example where a silent station was sold and a new article created for the new programming. There are countless others that retain the same article, as they should.

Just as with virtual channels vs. actual channels with DTV, the information presented should line up with the expectations of the average reader, not "experts" like you and me. The average reader knows nothing about WNHT or KPOL; only WPXG and KHRR (if even that). An average reader would not think of looking for an article under the old calls. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:51, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I retract my assertion that WNHT should be merged with WPXG. WPXG, the current station, is merely a satellite station which does not have its own article, and the WNHT material is unrelated to the primary station, WBPX. Furthermore, WNHT has signficant documented history and can stand alone as its own article. None of these conditions apply to KHRR/KPOL. KHRR is a standalone station and has its own article. KPOL is an undocumented article stub that does not assert its own notability, making it a candidate for speedy deletion, should someone notice it. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pet peeve...

While you've been doing a good job updating the infoboxes in TV station articles, could you please remember to re-Wikify Independent station (North America) for present and former independent stations? Thanks. Rollosmokes (talk) 07:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"I only Wikify names of actual networks and systems in the "Affiliation" field. To me, independent means it's not a member of, or affiliated to, any network or system."

However, there is an article on independent stations, and the links should be utilized. Rollosmokes (talk) 07:19, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"I'll Wikilink "independent station" in the article text, but not in the infobox."

You can't do it in one place and not in the other, that isn't fair. These are present and former independent stations; there is an article on independent stations; and the links are important and should be utilized -- period. This wasn't a problem before, and there's no reason to make it a problem now. Your view of the term shouldn't be imposed on the rest of us who edit these articles. Rollosmokes (talk) 07:51, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So please stop behaving as if you -- and only YOU -- are allowed to control anything and everything that goes into them. Rollosmokes (talk) 02:36, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"It seems like you're the only one here complaining about things like using the legal name of a station owner or whether The CW Network should be called "The CW" or just "CW" (consensus says "The CW" with the word "The"). However, I do see others linking "independent station" in the infobox, so I'll stop arguing with you on that point - however, I still don't think "independent" should be capitalized."

We can go back-and-forth all you want, but I'm just rtying to keep everything on the straight-and-narrow. I'm not the one who ignores an article on independent stations and refuses to restore the link. I'm also not the one who ignored the consensus against the City of license entry (which I'm against, and so are a few others), which I removed from KOVR. The "The" thing is all about proper use of grammar, as I have noted before. The same goes for the capitalization in Independent.

State lists of TV stations

Hi. It appears that you've added columns about "virtual channels" and "physical RF channels from 2009" to at least the South Carolina and North Carolina channel pages. Is there any case in which the virtual channel number is completely different from either the analog channel or the digital channel? If not, that column seems to be redundant. It seems that the VC number is almost always the same as the existing analog channel. Does "physical RF channel from 2009" mean the channel the station will occupy after the changeover to digital-only? Your phrasing is unclear. If that's what you mean, is there any case in which that channel number is different from both of the existing channels? It seems as though you've created two additional columns of information which was adequately conveyed by the existing material. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

TV Infoboxes

As has been said by other users here, the information is overkill. Just because the page is here doesn't mean that every last scrap of information needs to be included in the article. How about just a link to the FCC database to query for that information? 99% of people will not be interested in satellite coordinates of the transmitters. You've got to consider what is vital data and what is not. But, based on your past history, as far as I can tell, this is a difficult line of thinking for you to understand.

For what it's worth, I'm tired of going back after you and re-Wikifying/capitalizing "Independent" in the infobox. As I explained to you before, the link should be provided to the article, as it is relevant (despite what you may believe). Remember: You don't own the infoboxes. Rollosmokes (talk) 09:16, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't see the need of having satellite stations in the infobox. They take too much space and elevate their importance to that of the main station when all they do is just repeat the signal. But if you really need to have satellite station information in the article, then make a table for it like on WAPA-TV. Also, the infoboxes you edited already have too much information, so when you add the information of another station on top of that, it's far too much. And to be honest, like Nicholasm79 said, most people won't care. And those who do, can easily query the FCC database. Kimmykun (talk) 03:06, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stop adding empty fields to the infoboxes. The box will function just fine if something isn't filled in or not added to the infobox entirely. All it adds is extra load time and article heft that just isn't needed when we need to keep it within 32kb. If someone wants to fill in the field, they can click on the infobox entry in the templates section below and go from there, but fields like other channels aren't needed if that station's only been on one channel.

RE: "No separate DTV" template question

Did you get the answer you were seeking, as you removed your comment on my talk page? If not, the template was nominated for deletion, and being an improper use of a template, I knew it would be deleted, so I decided to get an early jump on removing the references, forgetting that it was also linked to a category. I can add the category references back to the articles, but not all of them tonight. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 06:35, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would be in your debt if you could add those categories back to the articles. Go through my contributions to see which articles I changed, but there are about 60. Replacing the template references with text didn't take long, but I think adding the categories might. I'll check back tomorrow night and finish what you're not able to get to. Thanks. dhett ^{(talk • contribs)} 06:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Infoboxes

Did you even read what I had to say? I am keeping your additions, but I removed the empty entries in the infoboxes you needlessly edited because they will never, ever be filled in and waste bytespace that can better be utilized in the article. Please do not do this again against the consensus of WP:TVS, as we have already told you multiple times not to do this. I have reverted your edits adding the empty information, and if they are reverted I will be seeking administrative action against you. Thank you. Nate • (chatter) 21:22, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then just add those four lines and move on; there was nothing wrong with the boxes at all where you need to reorganize the whole thing and add empty text. It is organized quite fine and doesn't need any changes. Also I find the BIA links uninformative and basically giving the same information listed in the article; it's redundant. Besides that, it's a commercial database, unlike the FCC and Radio Locator (which although it is a commercial operation does provide plenty of information). Nate • (chatter) 01:59, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So do the websites of the television stations themselves, which are usually updated much more often if there's a change than BIA, which is inherently subject to not being updated if a change is made. We don't need to link to every bit of detail for a television station. Keep it general, keep it brief, keep it concise. We're an encyclopedia first and foremost, and we should keep it that way. Nate • (chatter) 02:06, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We have enough external links as it is, and as I just said, we don't need to provide every piece of information possible. Just keep it simple, please. That's what we're trying to tell you.

As for a station which doesn't have a website; the address can be found through the FCC link, or a simple Google search. These days only the smallest of stations do not have a website. If you do want to use the BIA links though, first, build a consensus with TVS editors and see if it will work. Nate • (chatter) 02:14, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You talk to us on TVS and bring up the BIA links and see if anyone wants them added, not just put them in without a discussion. The FCC templates were added through the same collaboration, and it should be no different if you want to add this one to station articles. Nate • (chatter) 05:22, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The term "Australian footballer"

The term "footballer" (or "football player") is used generically to refer to someone who plays Association football (soccer), rugby league, rugby union, Australian rules football, American football, Canadian football etc. In reference to Deaths in 2008, nationality is also reported. We can't really describe someone as an Australian Australian footballer, so footballer is linked to Australian rules football in order to explain the code. The same process is applied to American players of American football. For example, see the entry for Mel Agee at Deaths in June 2008#15. Regards, WWGB (talk) 13:33, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of WPJT-DT

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article WPJT-DT, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Travel Channel.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Travel Channel.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

(TV)

Can you offer me some evidence of that? I'm not saying I don't believe you, just that I would like some affirmation that there are enough stations named this way that it's an entrenched standard, because I do sincerely think (TV station) would be clearer. (Since you seem to have been around Wikipedia for awhile, I'm sure you can understand how when you're looking at a list of stations, all of which end with -TV except for one that ends with (TV), which was the case when I looked at one of the categories WAVE (TV) belongs to, it's easy to think that the anomaly is due to some user who didn't know how to name the page.)

Also, since you seem to work on these pages a lot, perhaps you'd know how to correct the external link at the bottom of WAVE (TV) that does call the station WAVE-TV; that was another thing that made me think the title was an error. I looked at it but it's some kind of template; perhaps the template itself should be changed, if it's going to automatically call any TV station "XXXX-TV" whether the "-TV" belongs there or not. Propaniac (talk) 13:19, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I skimmed several different pages of that list and literally found only one other station with the (TV) disambiguater (WAFF (TV)). Ironically, the link for WAVE on the W- list actually goes to WAVE, which is a redirect to the dab page, instead of WAVE (TV). There seem to be very few stations which fit the dual requirement of lacking the -TV suffix, and requiring disambiguation in the title. All I'm saying is that it doesn't make sense to adhere rigidly to a standard if the standard is only used on, like, five articles. If you know of a particular place on Wikipedia, such as a Project Talk page, where this sort of thing is hashed out, I'd be glad to know of it and may address the issue there. Propaniac (talk) 12:15, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, looking at those categories convinced me that there are at least more than a few stations with (TV) in the article title. I would still like to know whether there is any place on Wikipedia where the issue would be discussed, or if you're simply maintaining the standard on your own. Propaniac (talk) 12:34, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Starfucker

A tag has been placed on Starfucker requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional television shows (3rd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Proposed deletion of 3EA

Hello, New World Man

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Govvy and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I've proposed an article that you started, 3EA, for deletion because it meets one of the relevant criteria and I believe that the article obviously and uncontroversially does not belong in an encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to prevent the deletion:

Edit the page
Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
Click the Publish changes button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Govvy}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!
