In which Judge Judy episode did Judge Judy ask someone to spell the word "white" and he spelled it "wight"? Thank you. Futurist110 ( talk) 04:14, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
Thank you very much for all of your help. I think that the woman's name in the trial was Kimberly Kulick or something like that while the man was her enstranged boyfriend. Futurist110 ( talk) 18:32, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
I found this picture in a maze of old folders on my old hard drivehttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dE5bqc5jtwI/Tpc1TXHs8_I/AAAAAAAAAKo/-DRS_u9O4mY/s1600/01698_betweenthemountains_1920x1080.jpg. Reverse searching doesn't really give me anything except for a million wallpaper sites. What's the landmark/place that it was originally taken? It's definitely been altered, but still looks quite stunning.
Thanks in advance, 27.32.104.185 ( talk) 08:57, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
Thank you! The original is better I think :) - 27.32.104.185 ( talk) 11:29, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello,
I'm doing a school presentation, and looking for information on new developments concerning Wikipedia. I seem to recall reading about some collaborative effort with some commercial information resources, but I'm not finding this information anywhere, can you help me?.
Thank you for your time,

What city in the united States has the most centenarians (people over 100)? Neptunekh94 ( talk) 19:11, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
Dear Sir / Madam, I am researching a book and need to understand how electronic fund transfers were made in the early 1960s. Money is being moved from a US bank account to the UK and the transfer is being made at the UK end. Both accounts belong to the same person. I would appreciate it if you could help me with some of the details i.e. Could this have been achieved with a phone call to the US by the client with the instruction to wire the funds or would it have been arranged with the aid of the receiving bank through a call or telegram? How would ID have been proven at that time? How long would the transfer have taken? 86.146.226.146 ( talk) 20:02, 28 October 2012 (UTC) I would much appreciate if you could find someone to help me with this as I'm having great difficulty finding out through the web. Kind Regards, Janine
You might start with our article on Western Union, mainly because the Telegraphic transfer and Wire transfer articles are pretty poor, even though they are still options today. The basis is that a person identifies himself or herself to an agent or bank in Place A who then accepts the funds. The agent or banker then contacts (by telegraph, telex, cable or telephone) the agent or corresponding bank in Place B (hence, the term "correspondence banking") and on the basis of an established reputation, instructs the agent or bank in Place B to release the funds as per instructions (e.g., deposit in an account, pay to an individual). An exchange rate is agreed, and for larger sums there might have been capital controls paperwork to complete. After many such transactions by thousands of people, the two banks net out the difference between what they have sent and what they have received and at some suitable accounting point, one pays the other the difference.

Many thanks DOR. I have my scene! Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.87.251 ( talk) 10:00, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
