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. --BD2412 05:10, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

So what's up, man?

I'd like to build up the FIU community on Wikipedia... so how are you? -- BD2412 ^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)

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?

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)

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. Cheers JackofOz 06:31, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

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)

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)

Combined Community Codec Pack nominated for deletion

An editor has nominated the article Combined Community Codec Pack for deletion, under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination (also see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Combined Community Codec Pack. Add four tildes like this ˜˜˜˜ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article Combined Community Codec Pack during the discussion, but do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate. --Slowking Man 17:37, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

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 {{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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Slowking Man 17:39, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Narutimate Hero 2 Front.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Narutimate Hero 2 Front.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:20, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:FIU.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:FIU.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Unspecified source for Image:FIU.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:FIU.jpg. I noticed that 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, then 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, then 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-no-disclaimers}} 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 {{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.

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 20:56, 17 May 2007 (UTC).

Fair use rationale for Image:Byakugan.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Byakugan.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:EPSXe.png

Thanks for uploading Image:EPSXe.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 06:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ongakukan

A tag has been placed on Ongakukan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

CDP University Park, Florida?

Hi there, I have a question. Is University Park any longer a CDP? As far as I can see, there is no Census data for 2020. Has the place merged with another one for Census purposes? Thank you in advance for your reply. Regards, Dionysos1988 (talk) 13:02, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

@Dionysos1988: While I did attend the university located there, I don't think I've ever edited that place page, so I'm not sure how you found me. I'm not very familiar with CDPs or US Census research, but I did do some brief research and it may have been merged with Westchester, Florida. I will leave it to someone more familiar with this kind of research to verify that. --KamasamaK (talk) 16:15, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
