Hi Iluvcapra, welcome to Wikipedia! Good work on Telecine -- you may want to check out Wikipedia:How to edit a page for some advanced tips on tables and fractions. We don't need to use preformatted ASCII because we have HTML table support and a full-fledged TeX/LaTeX rendering backend :-). BTW, you can put something on User:Iluvcapra -- a personal intro, a list of articles you care about, basically anything you want. --Eloquence 02:00 Jan 19, 2003 (UTC)

Welcome to the Wikipedia! It's nice to have some more film folks here who can contribute on the tech end of things... --Brion 04:31 Jan 19, 2003 (UTC)


Well the Spirit didn't really lose contact. This ingenious little rover put itself into safe mode. The engineers most likely will be able to get the craft to send some engineering data (a memory dump), to help them diagnose the reason for the rover's decision to go into this "fault mode." From what I've heard, the engineers now have the ability to modify the software, and even reboot the machine. See MER-A for a more detailed explaination. Sennheiser 02:04, 23 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I will add that Steve Squyres, one of the project leaders said "I’ve never been on a flight project that didn’t have one of these. Every single one that I’ve been involved in has had an event like this, or worse than this."

You're thinking of Harry S. Truman. - George Washington III 23:32, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] TeXnicalities

Hello. Please note the difference between

\pi(2 a^2 + \frac{b^2}{e} ln(\frac{1+e}{1-e}) ),

which you wrote at spheroid, and

\pi\left(2 a^2 + \frac{b^2}{e} \ln\left(\frac{1+e}{1-e}\right) \right),

not only in the size of the parentheses, but also in the appearance of the letters "ln". Michael Hardy 21:52, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Re: Polybius square; we can probably get away with using table markup (just in case you were contemplating making an image) — Matt 00:14, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for doing some work on fixing these! You might be interested in using the special table markup, rather than HTML form, because it's slightly easier to read (and HTML tables are meant to be deprecated): http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide:_Using_tables ..cheers! — Matt 00:26, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Cleanup

Hi! I see you're interested in filmmaking, and you're an experienced editor. Could you possibly lend a hand at Special:Contributions/PLima000 and help clean up that user's articles? Melchoir 04:19, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
