This thread is for quick questions. A "quick question" is a question which has a relatively quick, generally factual answer; a question which is not likely to inspire an extended discussion.
e.g.
Quick Question: How tall is an average ten-year-old boy?
Not a Quick Question: Why are Americans obsessed with guns?
Quick Question: Why is ALS sometimes called Lou Gehrig's Disease? Who was Lou Gehrig?
Not a Quick Question: In Alan Dean Foster's Thranx Commonwealth series, is Pip a Mary Sue?
Get the idea?

According to this article
, "Seven Six Two" is the standard, though not enforced.

How fast would something be going if it circled the world in four months?

Earth's equator is 40075 km long. Divide by 4 months and you get 3.81 m/s.

I noticed that I'm still suspended from the "Save A Fox" forum. Can I post again in Edit Banned so my suspension can be lifted?

Naturally, you ask these questions in the thread you've just linked.
The problem is that I can't post in it, since no one yet adjusted my suspension.
the Retromancer
Odd, try Hollering on the response. You should be able to post if you have any suspension.
I'm worried that I can get in trouble with moderators.

It already is simple? It's a single step. speed = distance / time. The distance is something you need to look up though.

Lets just say I'm really bad at maths...

Can I upload videos in the foreign language? Since I read the forum rules, and that's something that can apparently get you suspended. I hope that someone will explain this situation to me because I want to upload videos from my Cracow Zoo when I will create Troper Coven for zoo-goers.
the Retromancer
As Video Guidelines, as long as understanding what characters say isn't relevant, or it's subtitled.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
The videos that I want to upload are mainly involving stuff happening in zoo, such as arrival of new lion, construction of new habitats... I think that if I post explanations of what is happening in them, then it wouldn't be a problem, right?

Well that's not media. We don't post everyday life as videos. An explanation isn’t gonna fix that.

I’m sorry, but you have Stage 9 Animes.
But I'm gonna post it on a Troper Coven for zoo-goers, where we can talk about things that happen in the zoos where we go.

Oh, you can link to just about any video on the forums. But that’s not what uploading to TV Tropes means.
Anime Guy
Why is it that for some Tropers (specifically some Mods) that it says they joined in 2001, but TV Tropes wasn't established until 2004?
I’m sorry, but you have Stage 9 Animes.
the Retromancer
2001 is the default when the registration info isn't available (join date was added much much later)
So this means that I should only post links to the foreign videos and not upload them here on forums, right?
the Retromancer
You seem to be mixing things up.
- Videos, as a website function, is exclusively for Video Examples. They are only to demonstrate tropes and to be shown at work pages. If a trope relies on dialogue, the dialogue needs to be understandable.
- Posting videos on forums. There is no pre-built functionality or regulations for it. If you want to show a video in a forum, you don't upload it (it's not possible link to uploaded videos anyway) at all, you'll have to link to where you've found it.

So if I want to post video about baby animals in Cracow Zoo, then I should add link to it, not the video itself, right?
Industrious Incisors
There's no way to add videos at all to the forums, it's only possible to link to them. Even the ones that show up on forum posts in video forms are just linked to.
You can embed YouTube videos in forum posts, if that's what you mean. For example:
To embed a video in a post, use the markup [[youtube:video_id]] and replace video_id with the part in the URL after the watch?v=
In this case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2p2MiXonnE
7.62 High Calibre, I had it as:
Seven Six Two High Calibre
But should it be Seven Sixty Two?
