Tip of the day...
Digital audio support

Misplaced Pages uses the Ogg Vorbis, FLAC and WAV formats for audio, as they are not encumbered by patents (an issue that prompted the decision that MP3 files will not be hosted at Misplaced Pages). Software supporting Vorbis exists for many platforms...

Mozilla Firefox 4, Opera 10.5 and Google Chrome 3 (and later versions) each include their own support for Ogg Vorbis files.

As for multimedia players, Winamp can be used to play Ogg Vorbis files. Although iTunes does not natively support Vorbis, Xiph.Org provides a QuickTime component which can be used in players that rely on QuickTime, such as iTunes, on both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. DirectShow filters exist to decode Vorbis in multimedia players like Windows Media Player and others which support DirectShow.

Various online tools (such as Zamzar) are available which let you freely convert one file format into another, and can be useful when you want to upload a file to Misplaced Pages.

Why am I here?

I am a devoted Christian who enjoys the fact that I defy so many of the stereotypes people have of Christians.

I also enjoy contributing to Misplaced Pages because it allows me to expand my knowledge bases. While my contributions to date have been in relatively narrow areas, most of which have surprised me upon looking back, my interests are actually wide-ranging.

I consider myself to have developed a quite high level of expertise in applying Misplaced Pages content policies. Most particularly, I am a hard-ass stickler for requiring reliable citations for all article claims.

Major contributions

Pages I have started or de-stubbed and authored

In the order in which I have done them:

The AfD Rescue Barnstar
CyberAnth, I award you this barnstar for your awesome expansion of Bonny Hicks during its AfD, prompting a snowball keep. Fabulous job!--Kchase T 05:18, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Sexually-related articles and me

I really am not a Wiki-pervert, I promise.

Yet you might wonder why a devoted Christian such as myself has so many sexually-related articles among his contributions.

It is exactly because I am not a Wiki-pervert.

Pages I have nominated for deletion that were deleted

What would I say to other Wikipedians?

The top things I would say to other Wikipedians are,

  1. Cite while you write. Please! It takes probably five times more time for someone to come along and dig up citations for your work than for you to just cite while you write!
  2. Remember the Missing Wikipedians! If you have a proclivity to be a toxic, abusive person, please take it to somewhere less important than Misplaced Pages.
  3. Quit being a page mindguard. WP:NPOV really is how encylopedias should be written. That never comes from your interest groups's Groupthink, so please quit trying to enforce it on your favorite pages.
  4. Quit being a delete-happy prick. Find something better to do with your life.
  5. Or to summarize the above three, Don't be a dick or a Fuckhead. If you have a problem with me saying this as I have, please read this.
  6. See http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/10/27/wikipedia_britannica_and_linux/

Examples of lamest content I have found on Misplaced Pages

From an article, Handjob, which I nominated for deletion:

Christian theologians have addressed the question of whether a hand job is a sin as simply part of the general question of whether masturbation is a sin. Strauss asserts that masturbation is not specifically condemned in Scripture, but conversely does not recommend it, acknowledging that he does not answer the question.

Thanks. That clears things up a lot. Keep trying to cover the real nature of the article with meaningless academic-speak.

My Sandbox

You can have a look at my sandbox to see what I might be working on. Feel free to improve whatever is there. I am also working on an article Religious views on masturbation and improving User:CyberAnth/Bonny Hicks Draft.
