Bankruptcy

81.133.174.252 here - also known as user: Brookie - when I remember to log in; I will work on a section for UK bankruptcy law - as it is an interesting area. As a practising UK insolvency practitioner who specialises in this area it is something I know a lot about and use each day! Are you interested in the subject professionally or otherwise? I have already done a section on Insolvency practitioner s in the UK, which you might wish to see. Thanks for the feed back - it's nice to know seomone uses and reads what you've done - it makes it all worthwhile! Kind regards. Brookie 08:16, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hi there!

Thanks for the update see here for my website http:www.marshmanco.co.uk Brookie 07:36, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Bankruptcy

First, I appologize if I reverted some of your work. My intention was not to appear pig-headed, I just didn't notice your changes. My understanding is that you are suggesting that typical law related articles can/should be in the "law" category because it makes searching easier. If this is correct I would disagree. My understanding of the Categorization system is that is not for searching per se, rather it is to organize items into groups of most alike things. For a non-experts, the use of List of legal topics is probably more appropriate to get a full index of subjects. Categorizing articles into their root/subsuming categories would be a disaster. Moreover it's not practiced in other categories, that have have seen.

As for the specific instance of Bankruptcy, I differ to your experience as my knowledge on these matters are not perfect. Admittedly, a lot of types of law are still missing. Bankruptcy law and Aboriginal law come to mind. It's a "best-fit" situation, the classification may not be perfect but it should evolve into its proper place as the sources increase. The fact remains that Categorization as it was before seemed haphazard. The clearer it is, the easier it will be to sort topics into their true categories. So, again, I appologize if I was stepping on your toes. I hope we can come to an understanding on this problem. Cheers! -- PullUpYourSocks 05:22, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the Barnstar - I try my best! Davidkinnen 20:30, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. Trustee

Thanks for the complement. BTW, in case you didn't see the response on my user page, I do a very little bit of BR practice, for creditors, mostly stay relief, but I think the creditors' rights bar is also going to take a hit with this new legislation due to the changes in the scope of the stay, so I am glad that I don't rely on that part of my practice to pay the bills.

U.S. Senators

Thanks, glad someone's taken notice. It's a nice way to waste time, at the very least. Shem 22:48, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

With regards to Bill Nelson: you just have to look at the democratic blogs (for instance Dailykos,...) to see that Nelson (together with the "other" Nelson) is considered to be the most vulnerable Democratic senator seeking reelection. It used to be Mark Dayton from Minnesota but he decided not to seek reelection in order not to harm his party and his seat will probably be the most diffuclt for the Democrats to hold on. So he's not the most vulnerable sitting senator anymore.

As to Bill Nelson (for instance look at: http://www.centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/2006/senate/?state=FL ) he's considered to be the most vulnerable because he is a first termer, is not a brilliant campaigner and because Florida tilts to the right during the last couple of years. He has been lucky untill now because the more formidable opponents are all vying to succeed Jeb Bush as governor. Untill the only major candidate having announced as candidate for the nomination is Rep. Harris - yes, the Katherine Harris of 2000 fame - and ironically she would be the best thing that Nelson could happen as she is not so popular with the GOP and works as a red flag on a bull with Florida democrats, that's why the National GOP is according to some newsitems stealthily trying to recruit someone else. fdewaele

AWB assisted repair broke link on Katherine Harris

FYI, the edit accompanying the AWB assisted repair broke one of the ext links (# 13 to a sptimes article) in the Katherine Harris article. Thanks for your efforts, and please give the bot a gentle kick :-). --Flawiki 02:26, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, I noticed that the bot modified the link, but I just couldn't spot the change, even though it was highlighted in red. Thanks for noticing. — Alex ^(T|C|E) 02:31, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I really appreciate your kind words. --Neutrality^talk 21:47, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aerodrome beacon

Thanks for your contribution to this article. However I have to disagree with your claim that white-green beacons are for military aerodromes. For example, see this .pdf article by Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority: http://www.casa.gov.au/manuals/regulate/mos/026r03.pdf. -- Miles Li, 7:05, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey fromthewolfstar and thanks

Hey Flawiki, Thanks for the happy birthday and especially the picture of your cat. I know what it's like to be owned by cats. We used to have 6 of them at one time + a dog. peace and good luck with your cats, I know you'll need it. Maggiethewolfstar 23:17, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Katherine Harris

I beg to differ, but ThuranX was not also "right", only I was. However, your correction of his misattribution of the declared purpose of the conference, is correct. ThuranX was attributing the goal of the conference to be the "stated mission" of the group itself. However, you noticed that and corrected it. Thank you. And though I also noticed it, I left ThuranX to thrash about with it because he was obviously injecting POV and because we have no rapport due to him repeatedly insulting me and dismissing my well reasoned dialog on talk. By the way, why haven't you chatised him about that (the insults)? Merecat 17:54, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note. Yes, that is correct, the conference goal and org. goals are stated differently. The conference web site changed substantially though since this whole thing started, it seemed at this time to just toss both in with descriptions accurate for right now as a way to reconcile everyone in order to move ahead.

Regarding chastising folks, I avoid doing anything like that because I'm not good at counselling electronically. I simply don't try to do it anymore. E-mail or e-conference or any sort of electronically-mediated counselling takes a special something I apparently lack, whether it's in my day job or outside. --Flawiki 18:48, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps, but ThuranX is overdoing it with the invective against me there. He really needs to tone it down. Merecat 19:24, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

page protect edits at Katherine Harris

How is this that the page has a protected notice, but it's being edited? Merecat 19:42, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that I didn't do it correctly. --Flawiki 19:52, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for your kind thoughts. Haven't been doing much law editing lately, but it looks like you and others have been on the job. Ellsworth 23:23, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder...

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

Re: not current?

I'll be sure to be more careful in the future when removing {{current}}. Thanks for bringing this to my attention so that I can improve my editing. --digital_m e_{(Talk)(Contribs)} 23:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.. so much to read thou(!)

thanks

As one cat-caretaker to another, thanks for the kudos. Positive comments like yours make it easier for me to handle the occasional editing issues when others don't (IMHO) seem to want to be reasonable. John Broughton 21:16, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the positive feedback -- I appreciate it (when I wonder if anyone reads them!) -- Sholom 00:36, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Florida

I see you are a member of the FL project. I live in FLorida and also am very interested in politics here. I also have a background in engineering (EE) and law. I wonder if you like Jeb. I also have a strong POV on Jeb, and will probably decline to edit that or any other Bush article for now. I am relatively new to WIkipedia, first getting involved in a medical article over which there has been much litigation. I have started on WIkilaw project, and edited a few legal articles... Anyway, I am rambling but in browsing I saw your comments and thought we had something in common. Cheers!jgwlaw 01:55, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. You feel as I do about the Bushes. I well remember the butterfly ballots, since I voted with them. I walked out of the voting booth and told my spouse, "Those ballots are going cause a problem". And ....well, the rest is history.... I will start looking at the FLorida project. Are you involved in Florida political groups? (You may email me, also, if you would like).jgwlaw
