Excellent work on the FIU page! I'm also a (longtime) student there, and I've been meaning to spruce it up - I did the pages on Modesto Maidique and the FIU College of Law, and am working on pages for some of the notable law profs. --BDAbramson 05:10, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] So what's up, man?
I'd like to build up the FIU community on Wikipedia... so how are you? -- BDAbramson talk July 1, 2005 03:52 (UTC)
I'm doing all right. I think the community is a good idea. Could you be more specific on your ideas to go about this? Also, are you going to get students that you know to join or are you just looking at the existing users? The only method I see for finding existing users is from the list of edits for the article, but there doesn't appear to be too many. Good luck with this and as I said let me know of the details whenever you get a chance. --Kamasutra July 2, 2005 00:17 (UTC)
[edit] Family Guy Movie
Well don't worry I won't revert a 2nd time unless I felt the user was doing it for spite or was super naive about their views. I suppose Internet is fine. It did shuffle through the top and then finally make it's (easyily acessible)debut on usenet as a iso or img of the DVD. Then you see it pops up on more irc channels and the likes of bt and people say bittorent had something to do with it leaking which it didn't. Usenet I find more public than IRC being that it's accessible by anyone. IRC being both public and private and not documented much. How about it leaked on "the scene" and made it's way through irc,usenet,bt? Or just revert it again as you like. But I mean Usenet was the most public debut debut couldn't you agree?

[edit] Stewie and profanity
My apologies; clearly I did not read it carefully enough. All I can say is that I had been pointed to that page in the past for a similar reason, and I must have just inappropriately extended that to cover other cases it wasn't intended to! Thank you for pointing it out. —HorsePunchKid→龜 23:02, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Doubtless vs Doubtlessly
Hi. You changed "doubtless" to "doubtlessly" on Baden-Powell's page, presumably because you felt doubtless was not an adverb. I changed it back to doubtless after I checked my Concise Oxford dictionary which said doubtless is an adverb, and it had no entry at all for doubtlessly.
However on checking another ref (Pam Peters: The Cambridge Guide to English Usage, 2004), I find that doubtlessly is recognised after all, but appears much less frequently than doubtless. "The existence of doubtlessly suggests the discomfort people feel with zero adverbs". So it seems we're both right, and we're both wrong. You were wrong to dismiss doubtless on grammar grounds, but your alternative was not incorrect. I was wrong to say that there's no such word as doubtlessly, but right to defend doubtless.

- I suppose you are right to change it back if that is the more common usage. I didn't even bother to look it up, knowing that "doubtlessly" was a word and have the strong feeling that "doubtless" sounded very wrong in that sentence, or any sentence used as an adverb. It seems I let personal preference somewhat cloud my judgement in this case, along with ignorance. I was also thinking of using "undoubtedly", which probably would have been a more apt choice since it is likely more common. --Kamasutra 07:20, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] MPEG-4
Regarding MPEG-4 on Comparison of media players, is MPEG-4 referring to part 10 a.k.a. H.264, earlier MPEG-4 support (such as MS MPEG4-2), or any other forms of the MPEG-4 standard? If I'm not mistaken, I recall the earlier forms of MPEG-4 filters being installed by default beginning w/Windows 98 SE. I think a distinction needs to be made on the Comparison of media players page to avoid further confusion. --Kurt 22:11, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
- I think I rightly assumed it encompassed all video parts of the MPEG-4 standard, meaning both Part 2 and 10. If you want to separate Part 2 and 10 then I wouldn't be opposed, but it shouldn't get too picky such as separating profiles. However, {{yes}} should be reserved for an attribute that is fully satisfied. External filters can easily be used for a DirectShow player such as WMP, but I don't believe it is able to decode all MPEG-4 videos by default. --Kamasutra 05:00, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:CCCP logo.png
Thanks for uploading Image:CCCP logo.png. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
