WikiCup 2010 February newsletter

Round one is over, and round two has begun! Congratulations to the 64 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our first round. A special well done goes to Sasata (submissions), our round one winner (1010 points), and to Hunter Kahn (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions), who were second and third respectively (640 points/605 points). Sasata was awarded the most points for both good articles (300 points) and featured articles (600 points), and TonyTheTiger was awarded the most for featured topics (225 points), while Hunter Kahn claimed the most for good topics (70). Staxringold (submissions) claimed the most featured lists (240 points) and featured pictures (35 points), Geschichte (submissions) claimed the most for Did you know? entries (490 points), Jujutacular (submissions) claimed the most for featured sounds (70 points) and Candlewicke (submissions) claimed the most for In the news entries (40 points). No one claimed a featured portal or valued picture.

Credits awarded after the end of round one but before round two may be claimed in round two, but remember the rule that content must have been worked on in some significant way during 2010 by you for you to claim points. The groups for round two will be placed up shortly, and the submissions' pages will be blanked. This round will continue until 28 April, when the top two users from each group, as well as 16 wildcards, will progress to round three. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup; thank you to all doing this last round, and particularly to those helping at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Track map program

I'm using Windows. If you are too, & if it would help, I can let you have the track.exe and the 3 dlls that I have, which I think are all that is needed to run the progam.--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 19:34, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you download the zip file at http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/track.zip and extract the 4 files into a windows directory you should then be able to run it with a command like

track --year 2010 --name HUBERT --output <pngfile> --input <datafile> --extra 1 --bg whole.png --negx 0 --negy 1

Have you unzipped the map? You need to run track with a command line as above which specifies the location of the map graphic - I set it up as a .bat file for convenience. I shall be offline from 12/1100z for two days and won't be able to offer any help for that time.--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 08:12, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2010 March newsletter

We're half way through round two, and everything is running smoothly. Hunter Kahn (submissions) leads overall with 650 points this round, and heads pool B. TonyTheTiger (submissions) currently leads pool C, dubbed the "Group of Death", which has a only a single contestant yet to score this round (the fewest of any group), as well five contestants over 100 points (the most). With a month still to go, as well as 16 wildcard places, everything is still to play for. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Although unrelated to the WikiCup, April sees a Good Article Nominations backlog elimination drive, formulated as a friendly competition with small awards, as the Cup is.

Your GA nomination of Hurricane Ida (2009)

Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that I've begun my review of your GA nomination. I should have my initial assessment up within a day or two, although based on my initial skimming of the article and your excellent track record, I doubt it will require many changes to get it to GA status.

Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #29

The Hurricane Herald

This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary of the WikiProject's progress and global tropical cyclone activity. If you wish to change how you receive this newsletter, or no longer wish to receive it, please add your username to the appropriate section on the mailing list.

Please visit this page and bookmark any suggestions of interest to you. This will help improve monitoring of the WikiProject's articles.

From the editors

The project has gone since August without a newsletter, due to a lack of interest in its publication and development. This issue aims to catch up on major events and milestones since late summer 2009, and set a series of goals for the upcoming hurricane seasons. Your help in writing future issues is appreciated.

Tropical cyclone activity
2009 Atlantic hurricane season
2009 Pacific hurricane season
2009 Pacific typhoon season
2009 North Indian Ocean cyclone season
2009–10 Australian region cyclone season
2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season
2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
2010 Pacific typhoon season
2010 North Indian Ocean cyclone season

Typhoons Morakot, Ketsana, and Parma caused extensive damage to China, Taiwan, Philippines, and Vietnam in August and September. Their collective damages total in the billions of dollars and each storm caused hundreds of fatalities. All three of the storms' names were subsequently retired.

Member of the month

Cyclone barnstar

Thegreatdr (talk · contribs) is thanked for his tireless improvement of high-profile tropical cyclone and general meteorology articles; his production of rainfall maps for individual storms; and for his willingness to share his expertise where needed. Thegreatdr is largely responsible for the project's continued success, and has been instrumental in resolving many debates and discussions.

Members
Thirteen Wikipedia users have joined the project since September, and several have returned after an extended absence: Hurricanehink (talk · contribs), Yellow Evan (talk · contribs), and Darren23 (talk · contribs). The list of inactive or retired users has remained mostly unchanged.

New and improved articles
There were multiple new pieces of Featured content. Timeline of the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season, 1910 Cuba hurricane, Tropical Storm Marco (2008), Hurricane Bob (1985), Hurricane Gert (1999), Hurricane Rick (2009), 1941 Atlantic hurricane season, Hurricane Grace (1991), Cyclone Orson, Image:ParmaMelor AMO TMO 2009279 lrg.jpg, and Image:Effects of Hurricane Charley from FEMA Photo Library 7.jpg
Ongoing major article improvement projects include: potential featured topic for off-season Atlantic hurricanes, potential featured topic for 2006 Pacific hurricane season, creation of sub-articles for Hurricane Floyd, and merging of marginally-notable storm articles.

Goals for the upcoming season
Hurricane season in the Eastern Pacific and Atlantic basins is quickly approaching. Activity from new users typically increases substantially during the summer months, especially during active periods of tropical cyclone strikes. Precautions should be taken to ensure that content covering ongoing or recent events is kept up-to-date. Moreover, creation of new articles should be discouraged unless the storm in question presents an immediate or long-term threat to land.

Nonetheless, the project should encourage new editors to get involved; for this purpose the standard Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Invite template may be used.

The project should also make an effort to evaluate existing recognized content. A Project audit of featured articles has been proposed; ideally, each article should be reviewed for continued compliance with the FA criteria. Articles that no longer meet the criteria may be nominated for demotion, or alternatively, improved and updated.

Main Page content
Three articles appeared on the main page as Today's Featured Article: Cyclone Orson on September 22, Hurricane Fabian on January 30, and Hurricane Lane (2006) on March 22

Project news
September 2009 – A debate on the numbering of JMA tropical depressions in season articles took place. Much of the discussion can be read here.
October 2009 – The project was featured in a Signpost article, detailing its progress over the past two years.
December 2009 – Multiple Wikipedia Books—organized and printable compilations of related articles—are created under the project's purview.
Nilfanion (talk · contribs) proposed a revamp of the project's track map standards and naming conventions. This is likely a long-term project, and will be largely executed on Wikimedia Commons.
March 2010 – One of the project's core articles, Hurricane Katrina, was demoted from featured article status. Later in the month, it was suggested that more tropical cyclone-related articles are added to the rotating list of the Main Page's Selected anniversaries.

Hi Cyclonebiskit. I archived your most recent FAC nom due to lack of feedback.

Re: Stan

Here are my thoughts on it. There probably shouldn't be a separate article on the other flooding in Central America. There's too much overlap, and most of the operational newspaper sources said they were the same storm (sort of like TD 16 08). If you were to have two articles, I think there'd be too little on Stan. On the other hand, it could be a Klaus/Marco situation. Make sure the Stan article focuses entirely on Mexico, with a paragraph (and sub-article) on the rest of Central America. It's your call how you want to handle it, although I would push for one single article on Stan and the Central America flooding, since they were the same larger event. --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:39, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
