Wikipedia among others, is considering a website blackout in protest of SOPA. I am a contributor to Wikipedia, and I think Jimmy Wales is right on. I'm ashamed to admit that one of the prime sponsors of this bad legislation is a Republican from Texas. I guess Lamar Smith has been corrupted by large wealthy Record and Movie industry PAC's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act That link may be working or not depending on when you try it.

You probably have a log full of entries about this since I did some experimenting, but I thought I should mention it anyway. On two occasions I've attempted to write a post and gotten the following error, with a difference in the url being quoted. The error occurred when I hit Preview Post. Both were to Wikipedia. If I remove the url string and tags it is happy. If I add a / to the end of the address it is happy but Wikipedia isn't. I can use a string without a / at the end, but not for a Wikipedia page. Wikipedia main works without a slash, as does adding the /wiki. When I add the actual page name it kicks out the error message. Also, the address portion to upload.wikimedia.org was not in my original quoted address. ----------error follows----------- Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/dknelson/public_html/forum/includes/ame_bbcode.php(323) : regexp code on line 1 Fatal error: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Failed evaluating code: ame_match("Post hoc ergo propter hoc", "Post hoc ergo propter hoc", 1, "~/wiki/File:[\w\s.,&;\(\)\^%$#@!-]+\\"[\s]class=\\"image\\"[\s]*[\w\s.,&;\(\)\^%$#@!\\"=-]*>

Hi folks, I've been editing the Wikipedia Venture and RSV pages. I'm getting ready to bring the Venture page up to the style of the RSV page. As such I'm looking for a good pic (1024x768 res or better) of each Mk of the First Gen to put on the page. The pic has to be yours and you have to release it into the public domain. At this point I really only need two. I might be able to get away with one of each year, though I'm not sure how the senior editors feel about that sort of thing. Now you could do this yourself, but you have to do a minimum number of edits before you're allowed to post pics. Naturally corrective edits are welcome on either page. It's not like I own 'em or anything. I'm just trying to keep them in the same basic layout as the RSV one since it's similar to most of the other more established Wikipedia pages. I'm hoping that changing the page to a more Encyclopedic format will put an end to the battles over the adverts for the web sites that Freebird found when he first started the pages. (Thanks for starting them Don.) Anyone interested?
