What type of charging connector on a camera?
I have a FujiFilm Finepix Z110 digital camera. I am bit puzzled about the charging connector. It is not a mini nor micro-usb, as far as I can tell. It looks very similar in shape and size to a Mini-HDMI, but is slightly narrower.

This is a problem as it is the only item I have that uses this connector and I tend to mislay the exact 5 volt plug pack and cable I got with it. I have several 5 volt chargers that have detachable micro usb cables, so if I can get the correct cable I can use another charger, which I have done in the past by plugging the camera cable into another plug pack. I have seen other compact digital cameras with the same connector. 220  of  Borg 01:23, 25 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Might be something called UC-E6 USB. The USB article has a picture. And type the name to google if you want to find folks selling spare cables. Indeed seems like several cameras use it; your local camera shop might have them. 88.112.41.6 (talk) 17:11, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you '88' I think you are correct, I'd seen that diagram but missed that caption. We have over 4.3 million pages on WP and "UC-E6" occurs on only 2 article pages, USB and the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj camera page. (See Search result) The other 2 are user sandboxes, one of which is also related to the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj. Obviously this is something that needs more research and some WP expansion, probably to the USB Page. 220  of  Borg 18:23, 25 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Now that I know want to search for, it looks like it's a Nikon proprietary connector, though used by other brands. See UC-E6 Pinout 220  of  Borg 18:35, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Former versions of article "Kali"
November 25, 2013 Greetings. Would you please provide me with the former versions of the article "Kali?" The webpage for the article "Kali" states, "This page was last modified on 23 November 2013 at 16:16." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali Would you please also provide me with the former versions of the article "Destroyer goddesses?" The webpage for the article "Destroyer goddesses" states, "This page was last modified on 27 March 2013 at 23:20." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Destroyer_goddesses Thank you very much for your kind assistance.


 * You can do this yourself. Just go to the history tab for the article and click on the date and time of your choice. You'll be shown the article as it was then. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:30, 25 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't think anything can be done about the category page unless you roll back the whole of Wikipedia to 27 March. Category pages are created by putting other articles into categories.  They contain little or no content of their own.  Astronaut (talk) 13:10, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

November 27, 2013 Greetings. I am requesting a copy of the former article of "Kali" on en.wikipedia.org. The webpage for the article "Kali" states, "This page was last modified on 23 November 2013 at 16:16." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali I initially requested this on November 25, 2013. May I please request your kind response as soon as possible? Thank you very much for your kind and gracious assistance.


 * We provided you with an answer to your previous post, which can still be seen a short distance above here. You can use the history tab on the Kali page to see the article at any time in the past.  The Category:Destroyer goddesses is a category, or a collection of pages, rather than an article in itself, and it would be difficult to recreate a given past state.  Please post again if you have any questions.  Rojomoke (talk) 07:54, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Proper conditions for a website going public and IPO (Initial Public Offering)
Back in the late 90's before the Internet "Bubble" of 2000, internet startups and websites were doing IPOs. However, these days it seems like only the biggest sites are doing IPOs, like Twitter and Facebook. Why is that? And what conditions do I need to take my internet company public? Let's say hypothetically I own and manage a website with about 35,000 regular members, with established connexions to advertisers, and which nets about $350,000 a year in income. Is this "big" enough to consider doing an IPO? What do I need to get in order? What is an IPO anyway? Thanks. Toccata Fugue 1998 (talk) 21:57, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The article IPO explains what it is and some of the steps needed to do one. RudolfRed (talk) 23:18, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Honestly, the company you mention seems nowhere close to being viable for an IPO unless it's a start-up with a lot of hype. This article describes "small" IPOs for companies that have net income in tens of millions. Of course, some companies are being before they even achieve profit (e.g., the internet start-ups you mentioned), but they must have tremendous potential for growth and even then they represent exceptions rather than the rule. You have to remember that an IPO is a very expensive process and introduces large running costs for the company, so it's not really suitable for small stable businesses.129.178.88.84 (talk) 10:20, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Fitness SN
There's a website called Grommr, and it's a social network for gainers and encouragers who are attracted to husky men. What about a website that is into just the opposite—social networking sites for people into running, bodybuilding, sports and the like?Theskinnytypist (talk) 23:46, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Hope you don't mind but I fixed your link. I don't know why but there was some sort of invisible (to me) character at the end that was causing the link not to work. Dismas |(talk) 13:19, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
