Talk:Bill King

message: We'll all miss Bill. He was truly the best. 
Does anyone have a definitive date of birth for him? All previous news stories, today's obituaries, and this article until today, all did not have an age or DOB for him, which I guess he was sort of reticent about. An editor added "he was 78", but I'm curious about the source, and would like to find a DOB for the article. Nothing in Google. The reference in a Googleblurb to Bill being born on July 1, 1927 is actually a reference to Bill Keene, according to , and I think that is the source of the unverified "age 78", so I am reverting it pending verification. A lot of people, including the media, run to Wikipedia when someone famous dies, and I don't want an incorrect personal fact propagated unless we can confirm it. MCB 23:11, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Pound re-introduction plans

message: I have changed the page to delete the part of the Sudanese dinar being pegged to the Libyan dinar. As a Sudanese I never remember the Sudanese currency pegged to anything. I checked a Libyan currency converter and the Libyan dinar went from 196.832 Sudanese dinars at the start of 2005 to 155.311 Sudanese dinars at 11//05/2006, which makes sense to me as the Sudanese currency got stronger against the USD in that period.

If the Somaliland really used the CFA franc as claimed, how can the coins be "specifically for use in Djibouti"? The CFA franc article has no info about country-specific coins.
