User talk:J. M.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi J. M., and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 17:27, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: DivX

What are you talking about? Of course DivX is a format. A codec is by definition a format. Adding "mpeg-4" needlessly obfuscates what is intended to be a basic description, which gets to the point and defines the subject. Specifics are reserved for the rest of the article. -- Broken Arms Gordon 07:02, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi J.M., thanks for your edits at DivX, which are hopefully helping to reduce the confusion about mpeg-4 asp and the many different implementations of it. Looks like an otherwise thankless job.

Obviously, I think Broken Arms Gordon is mistaken in what he writes above. Snacky 04:16, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Xvid

I saw that you attributed the major edit on Xvid to me. I however did not make the major edit, I was simply cleaning up some of the issues (like spelling etc that you mentioned) with the major edit that was by the IP 201.6.16.70. Qutezuce 09:19, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes - sorry about that, my mistake, I mentioned it in the XviD Talk page. I apologize. J. M. 11:09, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for making the correction. Qutezuce 21:29, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
