thread_title: [[:de:Tachograph]]

message: I can't help but feel this part is someone trying to advertise their business.  Especially when you look at the section where it's been added.
Tachograph Operations within the UK (Calibrations and Repairs) are regulated by VOSA, a Branch of the Dept for Transport. It takes a lot of planning to set one of these stations up, and hence there are not that many around. The newest such station has just been approved for carrying out repairs and calibrations in the town of Farnborough, in Hampshire ( D T C). It has been approved to carry out Analogue and Digital types of servicing.The chap that runs the place (Karl Khan) has been working within the Tachograph industry since 1988, and has a lot of knowledge about the working of the various components regarding the Tachograph operating systems.

Talk:Shepherd Islands

message: Which islands are those? I'm relatively sure that the names I've put on the map are the right ones, but I had those two names left over from the article and couldn't find references anywhere on the 'Net to them. The map can easily be modified, of course.
Also, should the article really mention East Épi as one of the underwater volcanoes in the Shepherd Islands? More than one 'Net reference puts it on Épi's north coast, which would seem to be outside the group. Kelisi 21:01, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I got the list of islands from the map in National Geographic Atlas of the World, 8th ed, plate 94. Laïka (elev 87) is about 2.5' north of the center of Tongoa. The map gives two islands there; I don't know which it is. It is perhaps the crater of Kuwae. Monument (elev 155) is about 2' SSE of Mataso. There are also three small specks in the sea between Epi and Émaé that may also have names, not given in the atlas. For the East Épi volcano, I believe I mixed it up with Kuwae, and you are right that it should be removed. Rigadoun 21:58, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Why can't otafest go into the LIST OF ANIME CONVENTIONS?
Otafest is the ONLY anime convention in Calgary. It's not some small party with 100 people, its a big convention with movies, market, and stuffu... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nakjisanjeok (talk • contribs) 
:The last time Otafest reported its attendance to AnimeCons.com was in 2001 at 700 attendees. To make matters worse, they appear to have removed all previous news and press releases from their website that may have contained past attendance figures. That makes verifying their current attendance almost impossible. With Animethon reporting 3,755 for last year and simply lacking an article and the last verifiable attendance figure of Otafest is still at 700—below the 2,000 threshold—that leaves Otafest off the list until they officially report their attendance figures. --TheFarix (Talk) 23:49, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Did some research. 

message: The 2001 convention also was marred by the interference of the Alberta Film Board[4]. Otafest had not submitted their list of presentations to the Film Board which meant that none of the shows had been rated. As all festivals are required by law to submit their presentations for review, the film board gave Otafest two options: shut down or have every show rated 18A. This meant that all participants would require identification to watch every show being presented at otafest, even anime that would be considered rated G such as Sailor Moon or Pokemon.
This is a pretty weaselly statement, isn't it?  Saying that an official government body interfered with an event is not the same as event staff's failure to comply with a publically-available government regulation.  It's not like these sorts of things come out of the clear blue.  I've edited this to better reflect the fact that it would not be the Film Board's fault, but Otafest's itself.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.210.56.177 (talk) 20:17, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

"It's possible that when Brock mentions the 'love bug' he is referring to Herbie, the anthropomorphic Volkswagen Beetle of Disney cinema fame (The Love Bug). The iconic little car is displayed at Disney's All-Star Movies Resort, which is located in Orlando, Florida. This would explain the 'natural habitat' reference, although it is unclear how hearing 'Free Bird' might kill Herbie."  
Any thoughts? I don't want to step on any toes with this. I have references for the facts (at least two of the pages above mention the car being at the ASMR), the only part that isn't referenced is my opinion on the 'love bug' thing. But I think it makes sense.
