Hi lists,

First of all, thank you Erik to post this. Making subtitles is one of my
most exciting thing. And my thanks also goes to Liane for posting it
to YouTube.

Some of whom clicked this link have already known, I'm listing YouTube links
here just to watch video easier:

Wikipedia: Username
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTzUwXaAK2s
Wikipedia: Nice people
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoszRJpvAP0
Wikipedia: Edit button
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25hWh1Pa44M
Wikipedia: Great feeling
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St1JN6m0FTI

I also tried to enable mwEmbed gadget in user preferences and found it
worked quite well.

BTW, time codes of [[File:Wikipedia_User_Name_MEDIUM.ogv.en.srt]]
are rounded to integers, resulting subtitle timing somewhat strange.

Could anybody make it more accurate timing?

Thanks in advance,
