Thanks

Hi. Thanks for the newsletter. Wow, we have 2 FA's already! Anyway, I noticed a few things: is "Graspe" (place in Canada) supposed to be Gaspé, on the one I recieved there is a red template link but this {{non-tropical}} seems to be fine. Thanks. ~AH1(TCU) 00:43, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Ok, oh and by the way, where I live and in other parts of Southern Ontario there have been a foot of snow in many places. Snowbanks 5 ft high, and I spent an hour clearing the snowbank off the car. Great job on the project, and I have to go for now. Thanks. ~AH1(TCU) 01:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Hurricane Darby (1992)

Thanks for the thoughtful comments in your review of Castle Lake (California) (and thanks for fixing the name back to parentheses). I'm traveling this weekend, so it may be another day or two before I work on the substance of the article. Thanks again! NorCalHistory (talk) 01:56, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I believe (hope!) that I have responded to your notes on the Article Talk page. Sincere thanks for working on the endless task of trying to work down the GAN backlog. NorCalHistory (talk) 17:07, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
All comments cheerfully accepted! NorCalHistory (talk) 17:10, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I'll be glad to take on your most recent round of suggestions - when I'm done, it would be great if you would like to give it a final scrubdown! NorCalHistory (talk) 17:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I think I got all your points. Anything else? If you want to do some additional ce yourself, that would be appreciated! NorCalHistory (talk) 17:37, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your tweaks - I will give it one last look, and let you know within the hour! NorCalHistory (talk) 18:09, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Although I could tinker with this article endlessly, I've made a few last (minor) ce tweaks, and I think I better just submit it now for your final judgment . . . I've very much enjoyed working with you, it was a real pleasure! NorCalHistory (talk) 19:48, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Under the impacts section, it states "In total, 4260 houses sustained damage from flooding", but your source only says 400 houses were damaged. Am I missing something here? ---CWY2190TC 03:34, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Tropical cyclone

Many edits were made to improve inline sourcing, per another reviewer, which led to some changes to the text of the article. If you could take another look at the article, it would be appreciated. I'm finding it disconcerting that oppose votes remain despite changes being made to fulfill the opposers requests. I'd really like the article to get to FA on its third attempt.

GA review for "Episode 210"

Thanks for comments so far but I was wondering if you could elaborate a little on the comments you made about POV issues please. I realise that there is probably some in the sections mentioning the writers strike but there isn't many, if any, references regarding specific shows from the view of the AMPTP (the opposing side to the writers). -- Jamie jca (talk) 22:03, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

    • I've addressed the comments you made on the pages talk page and i've also read the the page a few times and I believe i've sorted out POV issues. I've also expanded the lead from what it was at the time of the original GA review. Is there anything else which needs doing? If not, I believe i've fulfilled the criteria -- Jamie jca (talk) 22:41, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment. I will start working on the WP:NTROP newsletter anytime. One thing about the NTROP newsletter, be sure to make it into a template rather than changing the whole thing to table, I had to delete the newsletter from my talk page as it included any messages posted below it. I personally like the format of WP:SEVERE newsletter at the start of the month, and the NTROP newsletter in the middle.

Suggested coachee

Hello Julian. MBisanz suggested that I should be your admin coach. I looked over your contributions and I'm quite impressed by your work. I think I can "prepare" you for adminship. For curiosity's sake, I can tell you that I have had three coachees, two of whom are currently admins (Heimstern and Mallanox). The other one (Exir Kamalabadi) has been inactive due to the blocking of Wikipedia in mainland China. If you accept, I'll gladly take you under my wing. Nishkid64 (talk) 16:40, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

You can start by creating a subpage in your userspace. Introduce yourself and explain what you intend to get out of this admin coaching. Give me a few days to start working with you. I have exams and an essay to write. :( Nishkid64 (talk) 02:55, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I uploaded an edit that attempts to address the issues you raised with the photograph. It was a bit of a struggle to correct the distortion at all.

User:Juliancolton/List of retired Australian cyclone names

You probably already know this, but there are three different RSMC's in the Australian region. Perhaps it might be good to divide the names in User:Juliancolton/List of retired Australian cyclone names apart by city; that is, have one section for Darwin retired names, one ofr Brisbane, and one for Perth. Alternatively, three seperate lists could be created (excessive IMO) or having a fourth section titled "By RSMC" or the like. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 05:53, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Not to be rude...

Well, I did put a source on that page, except I had no idea how to complete the reference site, even though i apparently used the correct syntax. So I thought another user or a Bot would complete it for me, because I remember when I didn't know how to put somethig in the right place, the next day it was in the right place. But that's a different story. I knew that it was more then 2 million dollars, because that was an early report from Vermont. Please excuse me because I am 11 and half the time don't know what i am doing. Am i wrong to even be doing this anyway? Anyways,

NY hurricane list

I've done a bit of copyediting on List of New York hurricanes, and I see that help has come from elsewhere as well. I noticed that the article includes three GIFs, which are deprecated except for animations. I didn't change any of them, but Hurricane Bob has a good one that could be substituted for the top image, and the other two could be converted to JPG or PNG. I could help with this if you like. Just a suggestion. Finetooth (talk) 23:23, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

I just kinda going through the same thing as you. I am in a little conflict with an admin, who practically believes in no rules on Wikipedia. This stirred up some feelings from an old conflict, with another admin. I was a mediator in this case. The admin almost went to ArbCom for other incivility, but alas all the other admins wanted to protect their buddy. Talking it out helped alot, thanks.

No, no. I just decided to play Sim City 4 to help me relax, and I couldn't help popping back in every once in a while. Just leave me a message if you want to talk so I don't have be popping in and out of the channel.

I overreacted a little with my dispute over the weekend. The reason I went on a Wikibreak was that I was almost finished with a game, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. I'll try to finish off the WP:NTROP newsletter this weekend. I thought the user was an admin because of all of his "contributions" to RFAs.

Image file conversions

Paint.NET, available free here on the Internet, will do the conversions on computers running Windows. Ditto for Photoshop. The procedure is to download the existing image from Wikipedia or the Commons to your home computer, convert the image to the desired format, re-upload, and insert the new image in the desired place(s) in one or more articles. I can do that for you if you want me to, but you might prefer adding some new tools and techniques to your repertoire. Finetooth (talk) 00:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Infobox hurricane impact

I was waiting for when you'd get around to that. Alright, I had a couple of thoughts on it from the past. I think it should go like this.

  • Name (on top)
  • Category (based on peak SSHS winds in the area)
  • Image
  • Image caption
  • Areas affected (this should be first, since it's the focus of the article)
  • Date (either date of closest point of approach, or of landfall)
  • Highest winds (within the area, in mph, then km/h 1-min sustained)
  • Gusts (within the area, in mph, then km/h 1-min sustained)
  • Rainfall maxima (perhaps make optional)
  • Fatalities
  • Damage
  • Season

Article tagging

Whenever a subproject tag is added to a particular page (flood, hurricane, non-tropical), it has been the custom to remove the meteorology tag since the subproject tag also has a link to the meteorology project. It eliminates repetition. Thegreatdr (talk) 16:17, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliments!

I see you've been busy adding to the ranks of HV. Thanks ... I was going to make some of those changes myself.

I very much appreciate your compliments on the three NHL articles (Springside, Dutch Reformed Church and Delaware and Hudson Canal (that one was already tagged, though)). Yes, I do intend to take those to GA and maybe FA eventually ... Springside is probably closer; I'm just waiting to get a photo of the section of the house that's in the state museum. As for the DRC, I'm hoping to get in touch with Jim Hoekema and get a pic of the inside, then add a section on its current rehabilitation issues, update the infobox to {{infobox religious building}} and (ideally) get a pic from when Hillary Clinton visited (I was there that day covering it as a reporter, so this article means a lot to me).

Would you like the image on the left or right? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 00:03, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
How does it look? Feel free to suggest any changes. BTW, I see you used my "Vandal Protector" ;) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 00:11, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Ahh, yes, he took it from me ;) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 00:15, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
No, there is no need to give credit :) I always joke around with WBOSITG like that ;) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 00:44, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Peer review idea

Hi, I have made a proposal that no peer review request be archived without some response. To aid in this, there is a new list of PR requests at least one week old that have had no repsonses beyond a semi-automated peer review. This list is at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog.

There are just over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, so I figure if each of these volunteers reviewed just one or two PR requests without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog (as there have been 2 or 3 such unanswered requests a day on average).

If you would be able to help out with a review or two a month from the "no responses" backlog list that would be great (and much appreciated). Please discuss questions, comments, or ideas at the PR talk page and thanks in advance for your help, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:23, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Bot

When you make the newsletter there are simple instructions to follow on the bot's user page. I haven't tested it yet, but I'm pretty sure it works. Thanks, - Milk's Favorite Cookie 18:15, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

When it's ready obviously. What will it deliver if you add it to the page with no newsletter? :p - Milk's Favorite Cookie 19:56, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
No, you're not bothering me. Jj is an awesome copyeditor. He has copyedited many many articles. I'll also take a look at it. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 22:55, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
I just started copyediting. Regardless, you've got yourself a GA :) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:51, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

St. Patrick's Day

Rome moved the celebrations to this past Saturday March 15 this year (as well as a number of large cities in the United States), because it is apparently not "kosher" to celebrate the holiday between Palm Sunday and Easter, and is the first time it has been moved since 1940. This was on wikipedia news last week, and yahoo news the week before. Happy day-that-would-otherwise-be-St. Patrick's Day though. Thegreatdr (talk) 21:48, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

RFA thanks

Thanks for the support
Thanks for your support on my request for adminship. It passed 92/2/2, as you obviously know. You've been a good protégé these last few months, and it's bound to get better from here! IDK, I see you on IRC all the time, so I'll just talk to you tomorrow or so. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:19, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for helping with Jerry

I had completely forgot what the website of finding NCDC listed damages was. I tried searching the NCDC website with no avail late this morning. Thegreatdr (talk) 19:03, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

The Minor Barnstar
I hearby award you the minor barnstar for making important small contributions to the Tropical Storm Jerry (1995) article which preserved content that would have otherwise been lost. Thegreatdr (talk) 19:18, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I went through the article and made a few minor, probably irrelevant changes. It looks very good, which made it hard to find things to fix! Best of luck with it.   jj137 (talk) 19:49, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Are you going to nominate for FA? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:18, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
No, I was only on their once. :( I'm rarely on IRC - sorry. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:43, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
No. Actually I really don't know why I'm never on IRC :0 - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:45, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Actually - I just tried it right now. It said "Firefox does not know how to open..." - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:56, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
That works. But not the "regular" IRC. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 00:05, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
No. As soon as you get the article an FA it automatically loses it's GA status. Sorry, I didn't see your message. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 00:22, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Hmm... That would be pretty odd. I would suggest waiting. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 00:26, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
No, you're not bugging me. I love seeing the "new messages" bar :)
Yeah. I like it. :) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 00:39, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the cookie! :) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 00:48, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
It's all the same :) I don't know, but......

- Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Heck, only 5-6 members are active in the project anyway. (Probably less) I've gotten used to it :) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:04, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Nope - not 1. ;( - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:08, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Yeah. The two I'm working on sadly have nothing to do with the Celtics. And, yeah -rub it in... :) - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Yep - Rub it in :0 - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Charley Critique

  • I responded as well. We need to hash this out. How can he, or anyone, possibly double or triple the size of this article without restating facts? Charley impacted a small area of Texas and northeast Mexico. There are only five TCDs for him to work off of for storm history. The storm didn't live that long. When I created the Texas hurricane history in real time (1997-1999), there was very little information available concerning Charley. Last I checked, the only size criteria for GA involved sections not being stubs. I do agree on filling out the references more...but not on cite web being a must for GA. If it were, I would never have been able to have any articles I submit for GAC pass, since I don't use that style of referencing. Thegreatdr (talk) 14:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

You know something odd...I can't see your messasges on your own talk page Julian. I see people responding to you here, but not your actual messages. Do you remove them or something?TheNobleSith (talk) 15:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

RfA Thanks

Thanks!
