January 27[edit]

"Billers" - what does this mean (in given context)?[edit]

Epay (the link is atm a redirect to Euronet Worldwide, but not explained in the article - see also talk page) is an international retailer of assorted prepaid payment products. On their website, they provide a listing of their (propably only US) "billers", including information whether 'billing' will occur the "Same day", the "Next day" or "2-3 day". Well, I do know what a bill is and thus can imagine what a biller is. But given the nature of epay, I fail to understand what those "billers" are. Merchants accepting payment via epay? But then, as mentioned, epay is not a specific payment method, but a retailer of varying payment products. Do those "billers" accept at least one of those epay prepaid products? All of them? Or does it mean something else? --KnightMove (talk) 08:49, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Questions on Sources[edit]

I have a couple of questions:

Where can I find the English translation of the South Korean report on the No Gun Ri Massacre?
What is the best overall source on Iran-Contra? I need to read up on it.

For the Iran-Contra affair, I believe there was a US Congressional investigation, so you might look for that report. StuRat (talk) 21:51, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In the footnotes to the article that StuRat has linked above, I found EXCERPTS FROM THE TOWER COMMISSION'S REPORT. The full reports of this type of investigation tend to be truly immense documents. No luck with the South Korean report though. According to our article (in the references section), the English language title was "The Report of the Findings on the No Gun Ri Incident" but a Google search using that has drawn a blank.
