[edit] Welcome
Hello DanielRigal and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. Try to be civil by following simple guidelines and signing your talk comments with ~~~~ but never forget that one of our central tenets is to ignore all rules.
If you want to learn more, Wikipedia:Tutorial is the place to go, but eventually the following links might also come in handy:

Float around until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. Additionally, the Community Portal offers a more structured way to become acquainted with the many great committees and groups that focus on specific tasks. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Wikipedia:Translation into English as well as the cleanup, welcoming, and counter-vandalism committees. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy. If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 19:10, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Circle Line
Hey, Dan - thanks for adding the planned future proposals for the Circle Line in the article - as you may notice, I've talked about them in the talk page, but I had no references. But I do remember seeing a map showing the new route - do you by any chance have a copy? Or any more information? I would be very interested to see it, if you have any. Thanks!

- There is an unofficial map at http://www.trainweb.org/tubeprune/SSL%20PPP%20Upgrade.htm. I have added this to the External Links section. The map is a little bit dubious as it shows the District Line continuing to run up to Edgware Road. I did look for official links on both Metronet's site and TfL's but but couldn't find any. Metronet's site is not very informative and TfL don't seem to want to talk about Metronet projects as they pretty much hate eachother. I am aware of a need to be cautious when relying in information on the unofficial sites but AlwaysTouchOut is run by a guy doing an MSc in Transport at Imperial College and seems pretty reliable. I think it is OK for the plan to be in the main article so long as it is made clear that it is only a plan. I have edited it slightly to make that clearer. --DanielRigal 12:26, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BBC Portal link
Hi. Firstly, please accept my apologies. I removed the portal link from the article as it was causing a problem with the layout of the article in the top right section; text from the introduction was pushed onto the infobox. The reason I entered on my edit summary that the portal link was unneccesary is that I thought it was with articles and that links were meant to be added to associated talk pages in the same way as WikiProject tags are. I'm sorry about that, please add the link back if it should be there. :( Wikiwoohoo 13:53, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- I see that you have already put it back. Thanks for that, and for the clarification. I was worried that I was doing something wrong as I had never done a portal link before. Now I know it is OK I will add them when it seems appropriate. --DanielRigal 19:52, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] SCSI revesrion
Well why in hell dont you edit my contributions instead of reverting, it needs to be updated because of the prevelance of SATA , but you did a revert. IS that because you have NO IDEA, of the sweep that SATA has made of the Sun and smaller server market ? Sure, mainframes (IBM) and some enterprises may have SCSI as a standard, its still available .. but a comparison of units sold would be telling ?
why the hell didnt you add references to prove your "knowledge" ?? eg scsi units shipped ? I contend in the last year thats vanishinly small !
Here, I will help you, a refernce http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk SCSI drives fell behind SATA in 2005. Look at bottom right, its 2007. The entry for Hard_Disk is not a prediction.
Why the hell dont you look inside a sun box model ,that achieves good sales ? Units sold again, not just 'existence'. what do you find ? SATA drives.
Why he hell didnt you find references to a commonly available SCSI drive that is larger than 300 gigabytes. (How can I provide a reference to something which doesnt exist ? ) Look at the price of 300 gig drives SATA vs SCSI.
WHy the hell dont you terminate your involvement in wiki edittimg, you obviously have no idea about much, except how to click "revert".
Note: The above unsigned comment was added by User:203.82.182.242.
- I am sorry that you are so angry I do not see why your message has to be so rude. Your edit was largely inaccurate. I was at work and I didn't have time to edit it extensively. I made a decision that the old version was better then the version with your edits so I reverted it. I appreciate that there may have been some good elements to your edit and I hope you will bring those back. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with saying that SATA is more popular than SCSI now. Everybody know that this is true, but it is totally untrue to say that SCSI is only used in Mainframes. Only a couple of months ago I bought a very small HP server with SCSI disks for £500. SCSI is not dead at the low end of the PC server market, even if SATA is more common. Finally may I say that I take great exception to your comment "WHy the hell dont you terminate your involvement in wiki edittimg". I think this, and your general tone, says a lot more about you than it does about me. Please try to calm down and consider these things based on their merits rather than getting too possessive about your edits. If you continue in this tone I will have to complain and I would rather not have to do this. --DanielRigal 09:55, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tottenham & Forest Gate Railway
Hey Daniel, just a line to say thanks for writing the Tottenham & Forest Gate Railway article. I've wanted for a long time to get one started but have never got around to it. I was very pleased to see that you have now done so. I think it would preferable if some images could be found for your article. Do you have any? I'll also have a look around to see if I can come up with any. --IsarSteve 20:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- I am afraid I don't have any pictures. All I did was cobble some stuff together from the two sources referenced. My thinking was that anything is better then nothing and that, once the article was started, other people might add to it. --DanielRigal 21:16, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
