Deep sea driling/Offshore drilling

Since your article Deep sea drilling appeared to be a pure duplicate of Offshore drilling, I changed the former to a redirect so that there would only be one article to maintain. If I was in error and there were differences between the articles, please accept my apologies and feel free to revert the articles back. If you have any questions, please visit my talk page.

Yes, after I wrote the article and published it I noticed that I had submitted it under "Deep sea drilling" instead of "Offshore drilling". What I meant to do was to have a disambiguation page for two possible meanings of "deep sea drilling," so if it's alright with you, I'll revert it to my disambiguation page.Cmcfarland 07:11, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine. I wasn't sure if you were familiar on the concept of a redirect, though with the quality of the article, I should have suspected you knew. Now I'm curious as to the different meanings of "deep sea drilling." Realkyhick 07:16, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. I've heard several professors talk about "deep sea drilling" as a substitute for "offshore drilling," I suppose because it generally takes place off the coast deep in the sea. However, there was also a government project by a similar name, so I added the disambiguation page instead of a redirect so that people trying to do research on the government project wouldn't be mislead.Cmcfarland 07:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you think a redirect is not useful, please look at the deletion process rather than blanking a page. Eli Falk 08:58, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Who invented the internet? (well, almost that)

Spanish translation help please. There's an unattributed glowing tribute to a Mexican politican by a single-article-editor (maybe WP:COI?) who's given credit for creating a forerunner of distance education. I've found a possible source and left the problem on the talk page for Rosa Luz Alegría. What do you think?? --VSerrata 15:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: 74.40.41.106

I'm not a sysop, so I can't do anything. Very rarely will an IP be blocked for more than three days, except in the case of long term abuse.

All you can really do is wait until the block expires and watch for continued vandalism. If there is, you can give a test4im warning and then report it to AIV if there is another edit. --Sable232 01:37, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I overlooked what I was reverting it to (to the incorrect version). Cmcfarland 05:21, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But the reverted to version is funny. Now, I wish I can add the Padres to the list of deaths, due to choking. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 05:31, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
