RE:Saadiyat Island

On this site: http://www.forbes.com/entrepreneurs/feeds/ap/2006/07/08/ap2865676.html First it says $200m for price(for the building and/or contract itself I assume), but later it says $400m total.

The museum would sit on a manmade spit jutting into the Gulf from the currently uninhabited Saadiyat Island, which lies adjacent to Abu Dhabi. With a price tag of just over $200 million, the building would be completed in about five years.

Krens said the foundation set out to establish a museum in the "underserved" Middle East and that 130 cities expressed interest. Yet others were discouraged by the estimated $400 million cost of building a museum and collection or, like Dubai, couldn't match the scope or sophistication of Abu Dhabi's cultural development plans.

Sudoku change

I'm inviting you to join in a discussion regarding the section of the article Sudoku that you recently reverted. There is an ongoing discussion regarding that section. I've re-reverted your revert for now, since the article without the phrase in question is currently the consensus. However, you are invited to join the discussion and participate. Thanks! -- ShinmaWa^(talk) 01:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

THE WIKIPEDA IRC SPAM PROJECT IS RECRUITING NOW WHY ME Your recent request to use VandalProof software has been refused as you have too few edits to the English Wikipedia. We need editors to look through recently edited pages and decide whether the links are spam or not. If the link qualifies as spam, you will need to revert the page to remove the link and warn the 'spammer'. This will increase your edit count and allow the VandalProof team to approve you in future ! In fact, the Wikipedia IRC Spam Project shares many VandalProof administrators and users. HOW TO JOIN 1. Install an IRC client. (ChatZilla, IceChat and X-Chat are free. X-Chat works on all platforms) - a full list is available here. 2. Visit irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-spam This channel lists, in real time, all external links added to Wikipedia. Around 50% of the links listed are suspicious and need to be checked. We flag especially suspicious links in RED. 3. Begin Checking Links Click on any diff (the Wikipedia URL) listed in the IRC channel to begin checking and reverting as necessary. If you revert, remember to place a spam warning {{subst:spam1}} → {{subst:spam4}} We need to be able to block persistent spammers just as we do persistent vandals. Remember - If you need help or admin intervention visit irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-spam-t POLICY Before you begin, please read WP:EL and WP:SPAM. These polices are the basis of spam fighting. Best Wishes - The Wikipedia IRC Spam Project Team
