@JoErNanO I agree, again; I went looking and, despite having an IP address in New Jersey, the site may actually be coming out of Panana... and the T&C are a bunch of nonsense (grabbed, I suspect, some other legit site).

@JonathanReez @JoErNanO so far the draft looks like this...

@GayotFow looks good to me

Dorothy

8:12 PM

@GayotFow wow, you've been busy... do you need my four copy edits (tiny, eagle-eyed)?

@GayotFow at the moment, Januszczak is sprawled on the chaise, bum covered

@MarkMayo why did you re-open this post? it may not be off-topic but super unclear, as even the answers acknowledge. I'd prefer to see it closed. travel.stackexchange.com/posts/89403/revisions

Gayot Fow

9:44 PM

@Dorothy yes, I would need your edit. Do you have Markdown Pad with the Awesominium SDK plug-in?

Dorothy

@GayotFow Oh Lord... I'm much more primitive than that, on Win 10... it's just these little bits

Section: How did this happen?
para 2 line 6 last sentence, The should be They
para 6 The end result is the refusal notice... 'stuff' ... better word might be 'materials'
Section: Appendix V
last para... They reach this conclusion ... "Predictability." (placing period inside quote)
Section: Funds Parking
para 3 ... The article also explain''s ... explains

Other than these, it's clean

Gayot Fow

@Dorothy got it, but this is a draft and will need several revisions. Plus sections yet to be written. Suggest you get that software, it rocks

Dorothy

I'll go check it out

Gayot Fow

10:00 PM

@Dorothy good, then I can send you the .md file :)

@Dorothy markdownpad.com

@Dorothy plus awesomium.com/download for the rendering

Dorothy

@GayotFow now I see how you're doing your answers

they're downloading now

Gayot Fow

@Dorothy see how it works out :)

Dorothy

10:15 PM

@GayotFow cool.. and I've been drafting in WordPad and formatting after copying and pasting into the Answer box. Do you need my email ?

Gayot Fow

10:46 PM

@Dorothy well yes, it would be useful :)

@Dorothy Check it with the plug in to see if it renders correctly

Dorothy

@GayotFow I'm getting the Live view has crashed message. Should I remove Awesomium 1.6.6 SDK to see if it works without it?

Gayot Fow

@Dorothy ok, delete this now

@Dorothy windows 10 is a bit flakey, you actually need the awesomium plug-in to get the rendering right

Dorothy

@GayotFow AHA... learn something new every day

@GayotFow 10 is a pain in the ass, intermittently... I'll try the DirectX

Gayot Fow

11:04 PM

@Dorothy no DirectX, I used awesomium_1_7_5_1_sdk_win.exe

sorry, no, it was this one awesomium_v1.6.6_sdk_win.exe

after that it works fine

Dorothy

11:39 PM

@GayotFow we're in business: deinstalled 7, reinstalled 6, restarted ... very cool

Gayot Fow

@Dorothy are you in business?

all working?

Dorothy

@GayotFow yes, indeed... and I'll now use it when I draft answers; how clever of you

@GayotFow and the test came in; I replied

Gayot Fow

@Dorothy are you ready to collaborate on V 4.2 a+c?

Dorothy

@GayotFow why not !?!? copy editor is well within my wheelhouse... So, tell me what you want me to do, and how, such as copyedit and save the file with a new version number (e.g., gf_v_2...)

Gayot Fow

@Dorothy we will send the md file back and forth. When the answer is good, we will compose the question. As a collaborator, you can put the new question out there and get the rep for it FOREVER. I will come along and put the answer

Dorothy

11:47 PM

@GayotFow understood

Gayot Fow

After a while, @JoErNanO will suggest I wiki the answer.

@Dorothy the objective is to eliminate about 70% of visa refusals

Dorothy

@GayotFow okay (and quite amusing as, never in my life have I done things for points/credit/raise/praise... having my own different drummer, but it is interesting that I'm so close to 10k). So, those Q's come in, and get marked as exact dupes of the wiki, right?

Gayot Fow

@Dorothy That's right, we hammer them down. Just like this one...

Q: REfusal of Shengen visa by the French embassy in Manila

We gifted our daughter an all-expense paid trip to Europe, with the initial stop in London before going to the Shengen member states. Since Paris is the first planned entry to the Shengen countries, she applied with the French Embassy in Manila. She has a UK visa stamped in her passport. Since sh...

Dorothy

@GayotFow I saw that; drills it down right to the comprehensive info. BTW, I'm watching Code of a Killer (streaming).

@GayotFow you're in England, correct? I'm on the east coast, Atlanta, and we're about to be 6 hours time difference; I'll let you know when I'm offline after you've sent the file, or I've returned it, so that there aren't hiccups in timing.

Gayot Fow

@Dorothy I will go AFK in a few moments and watch "it takes a killer". Right, so there's two md files, the question and the answer, ok?
