[edit] Me

31 year old with a BS in electrical engineering and computer engineering from Iowa State University and currently in a biomedical engineering MS program at University of Iowa.

I'm generally interested in these topics:

My first edit was of Nevada, Iowa on 01:04, November 23, 2004 [1].

I was nominated for adminship (WP:RFA/Cburnett) on April 23, 2005 and promoted on May 1 by Cecropia.

My interests in topics on wikipedia is quite varied and I tend to migrate from one topic to another as time goes on.

[edit] Places to go

Basically a list of places to go to at some point in my life. By no means is this a complete list...it never will be. I mostly just add stuff when I come across it.

[edit] Deaths

These are the deaths of people who, while weren't necessarily my heroes or anything, had a disturbance in The Force that I felt.

[edit] Images

For images I have uploaded that I didn't release into public domain (e.g., Template:PD-self), please attribute them:

  • to "Colin M.L. Burnett" if used external to wikipedia (or sister projects)
  • to "[[:en:User:Cburnett]]" if used internal to wikipedia (or sister projects).

Of course, if you want to use the exact image I (or any image for that matter) uploaded then just use it. The image page gives attribution to the creator.

If you desire to have the picture under another license, please feel free to email me (see "E-mail this user" under the toolbox menu) and ask. The images are also scaled-down from their originals. I'm likely to oblige...

Attribution signature I use on images: {{User:Cburnett/image sig}}

Be sure to read #Licensing.

[edit] GFDL'ed images

As of June 18, 2007 I've contributed over 487 images to wikipedia under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). As mentioned above, I've been on a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) kick lately with over 300 SVGs so far.

Some of my favorites:

[edit] Non-GFDL'ed images

The bulk of my non-GFDL images come in the form of screenshots of TV episodes and movies. I'm too lazy to count them.

Some of my favorites that I can visually display (non-fair use):

[edit] Userboxes

I haven't been a huge fan of the user boxes for the simple reason that it's very akin to pigeon holing users. Anyway, here's a list of them at the bottom of my user page assuming that if you've scrolled this far down then you're not pigeon holing me. :) But even still, you get an explanation with each.

[edit] User Boxen

NASA Mars Rover.jpg This user wishes he had an interplanetary driver's license.
Stapler-swingline-red.jpg This user's got a case of the Mondays.

[edit] Licensing

Unless explicitly and directly stated by me, anything licensed under the GPL is only licensed under version 2. This includes any future works and applies to all previous works. (The text of templates do not count as explicit or direct statements.) Because the wordage of templates can change and can be interpreted differently, all previously licensed works were never licensed under anything but version 2. I am making this interpretation explicit now.
