:Exactly what does "classic status" mean? Who decides what classic status is? And to say that it is one of the best mixtapes of 2006...well, I've heard that myself and I believe it to be true, but that statement needs citation.

replies: text:  And I've done it again. Wine Post may print its own stamps, but any Tom, Dick and Harry can do that - all they need is access to a printing press and some sticky paper.

replies: text:   Re: your edit today. That's not what it says in the Postal Services Act 1998. Section 27 states: "No person may commence or carry on business as a postal operator unless that person is registered under this Act." There's no mention of an 80c cut-off (and in any case that's less than half the cost of sending a letter).

:Agree - I think they should be together in the same article.
:So far as I know, the SPB is always using China Post as its alternative name in people's life and on its business works (just like Australia Post using Auspost),while mostly using its own official name in political events and on governmental documentations.
:In addition, the Philately services in PRC is authorized to the China National Philatelic Corporation (CNPC, ), which is the primary agency of SPB (or China Post) to sale the stamps nationally issued and the relevant own-designed philatelic items to public. Different with the post offices and/or branches, it is a government-owned company in Mainland China.
:Comparing SPB (China Post) and CNPC, we can find that the post services and philatelic services are normally separated in Mainland China, not like Hongkong Post, Macau Post, and Chunghwa Post (in Taiwan) which provide both two kinds of services to public. CNPC can only do business on philately, while the post offices/branches can do more than that as well as the post services to public.

Talk:Postage stamps and postal history of Sweden

message: One of the things readers will most want when they come to this article is to find out where online they can find a complete list of all Swedish stamps, with images.
Until we know the answer to that question, people will have to make do with the official site.  The last few years of current stamps seem to be at .  There are big pdf files at .  So the information is not very accessible.  But you can use google to search all of posten.se, and to convert the pdfs to html.
It is kind of absurd for the article to not mention Scott/Facit or whatever commercial catalogs are most used, but I'll have to leave that to people who actually know something.

Talk:Postal codes in Peru

message: This list only shows postal codes for the cities of Lima and El Callao.  Are those really the only places in Peru with postal codes?  --Cromwellt|talk|contribs 01:55, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Short list 

message: A new nation-wide 5-digit postal code system has been implemented (see http://www.mtc.gob.pe/portal/CPOSTAL/inicio_codigo_postal2.html). Therefore, this entire article is now misinformative, albeit neither wrong nor useless. The information is still historically valid and philatelically useful; it should just not purport to be a list of current postal codes.
The new codes are far too many to be listed; adding them to the article would be way beyond the encyclopaedic scope of WP. Besides, they now correspond to geographic areas and do not necessarily follow administrative boundaries, so there is no meaningful way to name every code. The best way to deal with this situation would be to simply rename the article to something like "List of historical postal codes in Peru" and make prominent note that they are no longer valid.
I don't qualify to move the page myself (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Moving_a_page#How_to_move_a_page), so I have to leave it up to somebody who does.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.163.143.121 (talk) 21:16, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi folks, 
I am happy and willing to put in the legwork to fill out this list with the recently updated Peru postal codes, but am struggling with how exactly to group the codes. At first, I was planning to arrange them by postal zone (01..., 02..., 03..., etc;) but it appears that postal zones can span multiple provinces and that approach could get quite cumbersome. Then, after some research, I learned that the first two digits represent a specific Peruvian department or region, but I haven't been able to wrap my head around using this as a sorting method.

Talk:Cosmic Cop

message: A recent edit to this article states that the game was retroactively added to the R-Type continuity. But consider the facts:
1. The original arcade flyer refers to the craft as an R-11; an R-Type. I suppose one might try to argue "just because Irem gave the fighter an R-Type desigination doesn't mean that it's an R-Type!" But Irem, more than anyone, knows the significance of the R-Type name. Irem coming out with an R- craft that's not intended to be part of R-Type would be like Nintendo making a game called Super Mario Something that has nothing to do with their famous plumber or his games and is instead about some guy who just happens to be named Mario.
2. The R-Type Special CD features music from all the R-Type arcade games, and from only the R-Type arcade games. It contains two tracks of music from Gallop, just like R-Type and II and Leo get two tracks. The CD came out just two years after Gallop. How likely is it that Irem would add the game to the R-Type series just to put its music on a CD homage to the R-Type series?
Considering the game's obscurity in the West, it's understandable that someone would see it and think someone was just trying to shoehorn it into a famous series' continuity, like with Scramble and the Gradius series. It is a "sidestory" like Leo, and like Leo it uses different game mechanics from the main series and doesn't include the Bydo. However, the evidence all points to Gallop being part of continuity from its inception. R4624612 04:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
