Shannon-Hartley theorem

I've combined all these articles into one, as you did for a few, but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly how the concepts are related. Can you help? Check out the article and talk page. - Omegatron 20:05, Sep 18, 2004 (UTC)

List of rulers of Bhutan

Hey Technopilgrim,

Check out this article. I was reading your article about Ngawang Namgyal and I was wondering where he fits in on the list, because he doesn't appear to be on it. Thanks.

Oh, also, can you please help us out with Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama? It's the current Biography Collaboration of the Week and I noticed that you write a lot of articles on Tibet & Bhutan-related stuff. --Hottentot

I'm afraid I missed the party, but thanks for the invitation. Actually, I don't think I know that much about the Dalai Lama. Seems like a nice enough guy if you catch him in the right incarnation. Good luck. technopilgrim 21:16, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bhutan districts

Thanks for the email. I drew the map based on these names. I'll make the appropriate changes.

• Bumthang • Chukha • Dagana • Gasa • Haa • Lhuntse • Mongar • Paro • Pema-Gtashel • Punakha • Samdrup-Jonkhar • Samtse • Sarpang • Tashi Yangtse • Tashigang • Thimphu • Trongsa • Tsirang • Wangdue Phodrang • Zhemgang

I'm not sure if your aware, but we have three articles in the vicinity featured: 1) Kalimpong, 2) Sikkim 3) Gangtok. I was looking to add Bhutan to this list. User:Nichalp/sg 05:32, August 10, 2005 (UTC)

I've corrected the number and uploaded the new map. I've also uploaded the highlighted district maps. You can now place these maps in the district subpages. User:Nichalp/sg 06:03, August 10, 2005 (UTC)

Awesome work! I've updated about half the districts to use the new maps, I'll leave the rest for someone else (I keep trying to add something besides the map to each which very much slowed me down). I look forward to your help on the Bhutan pages & expect you will work your usual magic. technopilgrim 21:16, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

New Orleans Evacuation

You claim that "Bush did not suggest the mandatory evac; he requested citizens to heed it". What is your basis for this assertion? Anonip 06:16, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You can verify this by checking the CNN Katrina timeline, or any other news timeline. Mayor Nagin ordered the mandatory evacuation at 10:00AM Auguest 28th. President Bush declared a state of emergency for the State of Louisiana on August 27th, but that is not an evacuation order. The state of emergency declaration releases aid dollars and formally authorizes Federal officials to coordinate all disaster relief efforts. technopilgrim 22:56, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You are misinformed. The information you removed from the article was the following:

President George W. Bush had called and personally appealed for the mandatory evacuation.

This fact was noted by Gov. Blanco at the press conference on 8/28, as reported by the AP. Anonip 23:56, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I stand corrected. I see someone has already put the sentence back in the article. technopilgrim 18:14, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. If you don't mind, I'm curious why you removed it in the first place. Did you think someone just made it up? Anonip 01:02, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
