[edit] Laserdisc vs. DVD image
Hi, I'm trying to assign different tags for images depending on their license. I assumed you have taken the photo Image:LDDVDComparison.jpg by yourself and published it under GFDL. Is this correct? Thanks in advance! –Mysid (talk) 12:20, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, you are correct. That image of my personal collection of Laserdiscs and DVDs, which I posted as a exhibition of what the Laserdisc was.--Kevin586 17:38, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] DD-CD
Hi! See this. Henri Tapani Heinonen 15:10, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
- Thank for the the clarification! It was always lingering in the back of mind of that the Double Density Compact Disc and GD-ROM are ultimately different standards dispite the similarities. Stranger still, why would Sony would even market such a format despite the dubious success of other predecessors like the minidisc and UMD?.--Kevin586 17:56, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] LD DVD Comparision image details
Because of the popularity of the the Image:LDDVDComparison.jpg picture, I would like to add some additional trivial facts of that image.
The DVD used is the data side of a Killzone demo which as long been destroyed. The laserdisc used is ironically a DVD demo/infomercial which seems to to have been produced for the now defunct The Good Guys! electronics chain in southern california. This single-sided CAV disc comes with ananlog-only sound and produced by Pioneer. The video content is a mixture of movie trailers, promotional spots for DVD players, and Good Guys themselves. The disc is labled 09-394 DVD INFOMERCIAL THE GOOD GUYS, manufactured by Pioneer New Media Techonlogies, INC.
I acquired is this when I purchased their next to last laserdisc player for sale, a CLD-S303, in 1996 and noticed that disc was still inside. When I brought up the matter with the salesperson, he simply said I could keep it. --Kenn Caesius 15:11, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] About the Winx Club character articles
Sorry, I've only seen Bloom, Stella and Layla's articles, but I'd like to thank you for adding those pictures. It really helps an article when there's pictures. --Alexie 03:07, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- You are welcome.--Kenn Caesius 03:03, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Aly AJ article
Hey, DeadGuy here, thanks for clearing the vandalism. I would just like to point out that the statement you saw was different from the one that was originally there. ORIGINAL STATEMENT: (This is somewhat inaccurate as evolution is not a religion but a scientific theory, and the statement itself is somewhat hypocritical)
VANDALISM STATEMENT: (She is correct when she says that evolution is just a religion, considering it's so called "evidences" are completely flawed: DrDino)
As you can see, there is a difference. You may ask "why is the top one better than the bottom one?" Well, see the article's talk page. I explained it all there.
Just to let you know.... Please give a response! --24.22.212.250 19:18, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, DeadGuy again. I would like to apologize for my response in the Aly and AJ article that I have now removed out of embarassment. You made the right choice removing that tidbit, because it did not deal with the article in general. I also appreciate your NPOV, because that shows that you are not blinded by your opinion. At the time I wrote that my mind was a little foggy from the subject, and I apologize. You were the better person this round. If you could forgive me. --DeadGuy 23:49, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List of Winx Club episodes vandalism
The admin who semi-protected List of Winx Club episodes for us has suggested that if this person continues after the ban and the semi-protection is removed, that we take it to WP:AIV. In the meantime, we should try and improve the page as much as we can, while we've got the semi-protection! :) -Malkinann 23:07, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
