Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, BazookaJoe! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:
There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)
I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan 04:30, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
Hello! Glad to see you are planning on going to CMU. I'm a junior there in the meteorology program, and I'm in my third semester in a Dr. Mower class (his tests are nothing short of evil, but don't let that scare you away, he curves them like crazy). Anyway, be sure to let me know if you do decide to go there for sure. We have a great student chapter of the AMS too; in fact we just went to a conference in Champaign, Illinois, which was a lot of fun.
Without trying to sell the school too much, it's a growing program and I like it quite a bit. It's also the only real meteorology program in the state, since U of M's fell apart a few years ago. Thanks for the "hello" and best of luck with everything, and presumably with the last year of H.S.!

Welcome to the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject! I see you've added to a lot of random TC articles, and us at the project are happy you joined. There are plenty of ongoing projects, including improving all Retired Hurricane articles to a better standard. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or at our headquarters. Have fun, and see you around. Hurricanehink 19:21, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bazooka! — The-thing (Talk) (Stuff I did) 20:19, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Dear Tropical cyclone editor,
As a member of the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject, you are receiving this message to describe how you can better tropical cyclone articles. There are hundreds of tropical cyclone articles, though many of them are poorly organized and lacking in information. Using the existing featured articles as a guide line, here is the basic format for the ideal tropical cyclone article.
Good luck with future writing, and if you have a question about the above, don't hesitate to ask.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm sorry that I have been slightly bitter in our Revertfest 2006. Most of your assertions are backed by good reasoning, but please refrain from using the term "universe." I may go back and re-add it to a few sentences for a bit of fun sentence variation, but when it starts looking like Homestar fan theology, it is going too far. What I mean is, Wikipedia needs to be backed by solid facts, and while I am perfectly aware of the context in which "universe" is used in this case, I think it is taking Homestar Runner too far. To describe it as if it were say, Harry Potter is unprofessional and looks immature. If you can back it by a statement by the Brothers Chaps (which, because they are slowly inhaling HRWiki fancruft, I wouldn't be surprised), then I won't have a problem with the term, but even then, we should use it sparingly, even if just to avoid redundancy.

Hi. I saw your listing on images for deletion. You don't have to list obvious vandalism/test page type images there. Just stick a {{db-test}} tag on them and be done with it.-- Srleffler 02:00, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks so much for reverting the vandalism on my photo of the Tibetan monk churning butter tea. Some idiot has been making stupid changes to this (and other photos of mine) for some time. I have no way of proving it, but I suspect it is a way of getting back at me for some of my criticisms of racist and elitist propaganda which is regularly promulgated on various sites related to Indian history. It seems to usually closely follow my activities on these pages. Whatever the case, I am very grateful for your watchful eye and quick action. Cheers! John Hill 07:56, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome :) I am currently working on this one; I only started it an hour or so ago, I was going to wait but the sheer number of tornadoes warrant an article now despite being a fairly rural region.

Thanks for uploading Image:Jane.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:04, 12 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali ( talk) 18:04, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I have communicated with him and he has stated that he is "very much interested in cooperating" with us. He has also provided me with a copy of Jack Beven's weekly summaries (covering 1991-1996). If you want a copy of them, email me.-- Nilfanion ( talk)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm sorry that I have been slightly bitter in our Revertfest 2006. Most of your assertions are backed by good reasoning, but please refrain from using the term "universe." I may go back and re-add it to a few sentences for a bit of fun sentence variation, but when it starts looking like Homestar fan theology, it is going too far. What I mean is, Wikipedia needs to be backed by solid facts, and while I am perfectly aware of the context in which "universe" is used in this case, I think it is taking Homestar Runner too far. To describe it as if it were say, Harry Potter is unprofessional and looks immature. If you can back it by a statement by the Brothers Chaps (which, because they are slowly inhaling HRWiki fancruft, I wouldn't be surprised), then I won't have a problem with the term, but even then, we should use it sparingly, even if just to avoid redundancy.

Hi. I saw your listing on images for deletion. You don't have to list obvious vandalism/test page type images there. Just stick a {{db-test}} tag on them and be done with it.-- Srleffler 02:00, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks so much for reverting the vandalism on my photo of the Tibetan monk churning butter tea. Some idiot has been making stupid changes to this (and other photos of mine) for some time. I have no way of proving it, but I suspect it is a way of getting back at me for some of my criticisms of racist and elitist propaganda which is regularly promulgated on various sites related to Indian history. It seems to usually closely follow my activities on these pages. Whatever the case, I am very grateful for your watchful eye and quick action. Cheers! John Hill 07:56, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome :) I am currently working on this one; I only started it an hour or so ago, I was going to wait but the sheer number of tornadoes warrant an article now despite being a fairly rural region. They are coming so fast it is hard to keep up with and I won't be able to keep up overnight so it will fall out of date. Amazing outbreak! And only God knows what tomorrow (and onward) will bring...

You reverted the edit to my picture once before, thank you. Now someone has done the same thing again. Could you revert it back to my version again, I don't know how to do that yet. Thanks, Dictouray 04:00, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Jane.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:04, 12 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali ( talk) 18:04, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for reverting my userpage. I really appreciate it. -- PureRED - Kyle Floyd 02:57, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm absolutely certain, since I'm the person in question. I'm a poli sci major and my friends thought it would be funny to make a page, and for awhile, I didn't mind, but I'm kind of tired of it and if you look through google and all over, you can see with certainty that this political author just doesn't exist, so how do I get rid of the page? Or who do I turn to to do it for me? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mmmmyyyy ( talk • contribs).
I'm reading through it right now; thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mmmmyyyy ( talk • contribs).
There is a discussion started by User:Juliancolton at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Meteorology about a proposed/possible new WikiProject called WikiProject Winter storms. Feel free to voice your opinion on the proposal.-- JForget 01:26, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
