Answer to Question 1

If the function performed has historically been exclusively public, the likelihood of applying  1983 is high. In West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42 (1988), the U.S. Supreme Court held that a physician who worked part-time for a state correctional institution treating inmates was found to be performing a state function. As such, he was a state actor that could be sued under  1983 .

Answer to Question 2

It is difficult to determine the quality of information published on the web, and it may be out of date.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
