Hi WikiWikiPhil! My name's Nathaniel, but I go by the username Spangineer around here. I hope you enjoy editing wikipedia and that you stick around – your edits to 3M are greatly appreciated.

You can sign your name after you're done by typing ~~~~. A few links you might find useful include: Tutorial, Manual of Style, Community Portal, Policy Library and perhaps most importantly, the Sandbox, where you can just play around and try different things. Have a great day, and again, any questions, just let me know! Happy editing! Spangineer ∞ 21:01, May 1, 2005 (UTC)

Old Red Museum

A tag has been placed on Old Red Museum, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. 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.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Thank you for edit. I've been going crazy trying to figure out what was happening and how to fix it Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 21:46, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Canon Digital SLR

Both cameras don't come out until next quarter (and I don't think the table is talking about fiscal years) so it is wrong to say the cameras came out in Q1. Marcus Qwertyus 19:09, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed about the D1X, but the 5D3 "is expected to be available at the end of March 2012", according to the press release. I'm not talking about fiscal years, just simple quarterly subdivisions. "the end of March 2012" is in Q1, no?

Oh. I didn't notice you didn't revert my change to the 1 DX date. Marcus Qwertyus 22:13, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rebel T4i processor

I notice you reverted my change on the 650D/T4i processor. I've put up a post on the template talk page referencing Canon U.S.A. press releases showing that the T4i has DIGIC 5 instead of DIGIC 5+. The DIGIC article notes that DIGIC 5 has previously been used on several Canon compact cameras; however, this is the first time DIGIC 5 (as opposed to DIGIC 5+) has appeared in a Canon DSLR. — Dale Arnett (talk) 04:52, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dale, I didn't revert your change, rather I combined both the 5 and 5+ together, then commented on the merge here: [1]. I also explained in the edit summary "Rename and combine DIGIC 5+ to DIGIC 5 in groupings." As you've identified, there are cameras with the two different processors, so my question from the Talk page is; what's the difference between the 5 and the 5+? The template has a limited space for fine details, so I think adding a new separate processor type shouldn't be done lightly. If you look back through the Template history, you'll see that I added the processor types as a replacement for a single bgcolor "video capable" feature, which didn't seem popular and effectively only showed which cameras were introduced after 2008. The nice thing about showing the DIGIC versions across the whole basic -> pro models is the feature progression over time. I hope this explains the edits I made; please contribute your opinions on the DIGIC 5/5+ distinction on the Talk page. WikiWikiPhil (talk) 21:58, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
