ruminations
suddenly i seem to have a new tab called "move", between the "history" and "unwatch" tabs. i wonder where that came from? has it always been there, and i just didnt notice, or have i been granted a new privilege?
- Hi, I just happened across your talk page, and noticed this comment. Hope you don't mind me answering, heh. The "move" option is disabled for unregistered and the newest registered users. So you've been granted a new privilege, in the sense that your account is now "old" enough that it's unlikely you're a User:Willy on Wheels!. This is probably very late in coming... but that's what that's all about. :] --Keitei (talk) 13:35, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
- another month older, and what have i done? one question is ended, and a new one's just begun. it's nice to know didn't just imagine the new tab, but now wonder what strange path brought Keitei to such a quiet talk page? --Michaelfavor 11:52, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Well-founded news in 'our' GPS/GSM-tracking matter
(...) I invite you to read the rest of the page and then update the Wikipedia entry. You will remember, for linguistic reasons I prefer not to do these things myself. (...) - Michael Laudahn
- The article is not "my" article. If you think it needs changes, you should make them yourself. Your English language skills are certainly good enough. If you want to discuss the article, please post your comments on the "talk" page for the article, not here, thanks. --Michaelfavor 09:56, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Holland Hexagon
This is a quick try at it. Let me know what you think.(I'm not 100% happy with it, but then I rarely am) Can you suggest any improvements? Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 16:41, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
GPS Apps split
I was splitting the article while you were making your GPS edits; sorry about that. Since you labeled them as length reduction, I didn't automatically migrate them to the new article. However your edits definately can be applied to the new GPS (applications) article if you feel they still appt. - Davandron | Talk 15:21, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Michael, I'd prefer to avoid any split as well; so lets try it. I will be editing as well.
- On a constructive cristisim note, as I read your comment you didn't give a reason why applications shouldn't be split; instead you gave multiple reasons why something else should be done. It doesn't build your arguement. Instead of grasping at multiple things that could be done instead of a split, focus on why a cohesive article is better; why a split is detrimental.
- Hopefully those observations make sense and will help with future discussions. -Davandron | Talk 20:35, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
GPS Edits, and GNSS
You are spending a lot of time claning up the GPS article, but it needs a complete restructuring to come in under GNSS with Galileo and GLONASS. See the talk pages for more info.
