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)

[edit] AVI edit
Oops. Terribly sorry. Evidently I reverted something that the original author also reverted without noticing the direction of the last edit. --ToobMug 08:46, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image source problem with Image:Avid logo.PNG
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Avid logo.PNG. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:45, 12 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

[edit] Stage6
Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Stage6, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
