[edit] Hilary Clinton book

I think the interview is quite important in establishing Drudd's political view. If they think it's not true, ask them to provide sources to the contrary. (I haven't seen any yet) If reverts continue, feel free to contact me again. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:38, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect problem

Hey Richard, I'm sorry you're having to put up with that. I've protected your employer's page. I can't guarantee that the protection will be long-term as another admin may change it for whatever reason, but I'll put a note on WP:PP explaining the situation. As for your home IP page, you don't have to have a redirect there either, if you don't want to. There's no policy against editing from multiple accounts or IP addresses, so long as they're not used to violate policy (e.g. by pretending to be two people: See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet), although having said that, it's always best to stick to one account. I hope this helps. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 18:04, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

Hi again, that user account has been deleted. Let me know if there are any other problems. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 01:48, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hiya

Thought I'd ask whether you'd like to join the WikiProject on Drugs. Thanks for your input on Talk:Dextromethorphan! ‣ᓛᖁᑐ 02:53, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi Eequor,

Sure, I'll join the WikiProject on drugs. What does that involve? I've never been a part of any projects before. Let me know the details!

Regards,

Sorry it's taken a bit long to get back to you... I've been away from the 'pedia for a while. Um.... To join the project, all you need to do is add yourself under the Participants list on the project page. I'm not entirely sure what the project has been up to recently, but there's a good deal in the various subpages. ‣ᓛᖁᑐ 09:16, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hong Kong

Hi there RJ. I have only just noticed your questions about Hong Kong. HK island is mountainous, with series of high rise buildings going up the mountainside. Viewed from up high on a clear day, the vista of the city and the harbour together can present an attractive sight. However, describing the city or the territory generally as "gorgeous" would probably be going too far for most people, as many urban parts are very crowded and congested, and on many days there is substantial air pollution from industry in the south of China, with prevailing weather conditions keeping the smog over HK. Having said that, there is a great amount of natural beauty about HK which is generally not known or appreciated, although most of the very nice places are some way off the beaten track. And on clear blue days, many parts of HK are beautiful. For me, HK has been a great place to live, and for new visitors it should have a certain exotic quality. Re working here, the job market has been down for some time but is now supposedly turning around, so anything could happen if you were serious. If were not attempting to establish a business then you would need to be sponsored for a work visa. Most expatriates know very little or no Cantonese or Mandarin, although of course those who are fluent and can read & write tend to be in high demand. I am (unfortunately) mono-lingual myself, and had no previous connection with the place. You could come over as a tourist (no visa necessary for developed countries) to check it out and make direct inquiries about job opportunities. For something basic like teaching English, there are easier places to relocate in Asia (in terms of visa restrictions and opportunities) but HK is a very easy place to live. 203.198.237.30 04:41, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
