Discussion[edit]

Discussion page started. Jaobar (talk) 15:07, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is nice progress. I did tag the talk page with the standard talkpage template and an assessment tag from USPP. The original assessment is start class and this can be improved. I was going to encourage creating this article opposed to redirecting to the SAFE Port Act article. I am glad this was decided. My76Strat (talk) 01:43, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The consensus three years ago was SAFE Port Act is the correct location for this article. If you or anyone else wants to sugegst something else, please go to the talk page for the actual UIGEA article, which has been where it is for the past four and a half years. This page is merely a redirect to the article. 2005 (talk) 07:15, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The older content has now been merged with the newer content onto this URL. Almost all the content of both articles are now here. 2005 (talk) 07:48, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't realize this was a special project[edit]

I just realized I changed a page that was part of a Wikipedia Ambassador Program: WP:WikiProject United_States Public Policy/Courses/Media and Telecommunication Policy spring 2011 (Obar)#Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006. 67.100.127.4 (talk) 03:34, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merger with SAFE Port Act?[edit]

I have opened a discussion on this article at Talk:SAFE Port Act#Merger with Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006? OCNative (talk) 03:41, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why?[edit]

The most obvious question doesn't seem to be addressed: why would internet gambling be criminalised at all? Turkeyphan^t 23:52, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
