Welcome to the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject! There are numerous ongoing projects occurring within the project, such as improving the existing articles on retired hurricanes to their highest potential, as well as continually updating active season articles with the latest information, though any changes big or small will be appreciated. The next two items are template-form information letters to tropical cyclone participants. First is the ideal format for a tropical cyclone article.
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.
Here's a copy of our latest monthly newsletter.
Number 4, September 3, 2006
The Hurricane Herald
This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary, both of the activities of the WikiProject 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. The WikiProject now has its own IRC channel.
Storm of the month
Typhoon Saomai (known as Typhoon Juan to PAGASA) claimed at least 441 lives and caused over $1.5 billion in damage. After forming on August 4 near Chuuk, the storm brought heavy rain and strong winds to the Marianas, the Philippines, Taiwan and southeastern China. It started to intensify, and reached its official peak with winds of 95 knots (175 km/h, 110 mph) on August 9. The JTWC reported that it peaked as a Category 5 super typhoon the same day, a strength Chinese forecasters described as the most powerful to hit China in 50 years. Saomai maintained that strength until landfall on August 10 and dissipated inland the next day.
Other tropical cyclone activity
There were 16 other tropical cyclones during August, in the northern Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

Hey, if you still suffer from being unable to access the JTWC, this may be of help. It has the latest issuances of every single product by the JTWC (and if you change the station header from "PGTW" to "RJTD" you'll get the JMA). This is the latest 26W warning. It will overwrite itself with each update. Cheers, – Ch acor 08:24, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so much, Insanephantom, for your gracious support in my RfA (48/1/0)! I am very happy that you trust me with this great honor and privilege. If at any time you think that I need to step back and take a deep breath or just want to talk, please contact me. Happy editing! Cbrown1023 03:50, 18 December 2006 (UTC) |

Thank you for your support in my RfA, which I have chosen to withdraw early at a final count of (10/8/3) as it was unlikely to gain consensus. Most users wanted me to be more experienced, so I shall continue to contribute and reapply sometime in the future. I am grateful for the kind words I was given, and will do my best to improve in the areas that were cited as my weaknesses. Please always feel free to help me along with a suggestion on how I could improve, and if you ever need help, I am ever at your service. Best as always, Dar- Ape 23:20, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
I know you meant well here, but I feel I must object to anyone who removes my comments from a talk page no matter the motivation. If you look at the history you we see we both applied the {{ blatantvandal}} at the same second. Since we were in different sections there was no edit conflict. In the future if you think my edits to a talk page are inappropriate, please leave me a note. I would have been happy to upgrade the template in this case. Or else leave your own comments below mine. I realize it is not a big deal in this case and I sm hsppy to leave the page as it is now, but I just feel I have to leave a note out of principle. Thanks for the work you do staying on top of these vandals!-- Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 14:42, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
I notice that you gave User:194.35.219.99 a warning about blanking. Since this was (and is) a vandalism-only IP (and almost certainly the same person as before) that started vandalising as soon as their block ended, we don't need to keep warning them. They already know what they're doing. Personally, I'd say it was fine to report at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism (noting the vandalism and reporting for reference purposes only). The admins can then decide whether or not to block. All the best, Fourohfour 14:31, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
I have two accounts. I created the second one because some programs and sites don't recognise names with only two characters. Therefore I thought it would be acceptable to edit the user page of my other account while logged in to this one.
Thank you for participating in my RfA, which did not succeed and was closed early at 2/10/9. I am not discouraged, however, and will use the experience to improve my skills until a later date when I may succeed. Yuser 31415 20:49, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Salut,
you gave me a warning that I was bringing spam into the following page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phantom_of_the_Opera.
This is not quite true, for all I did was adding my own page, which has a lot to do with this topic into the list of the external links.
My page does not contain spam or anything, so please stop warning me.
~Christine
Salut,
mersi for answering me. I understand that there have been too many links on that page, for I read the guidelines of external links a while ago.
I have seen that there in the external links by now are only links that belong to the topic. Before there were more links, which did not belong to it exactly, such as my page did not belong there exactly, because it is only about Christine Daaé and not, or just little, about The Phantom of the Opera as person.
I truly hope, that the other, not quite fitting links will remain removed as well as I will keep my link removed from there.
May I ask if you work for Wikipedia and check the pages all the time, or if you do it only for certain pages? Actually no matter what the answer is, you do a good job.
Christine
Thank you for explaing all to me. You are the first one who took the time to do so. ~~~~

Why did you revert my edits to University of Bristol Union? It's clearly no longer a stub, and the Student Community Action doesn't really deserve it's own infobox (it's one of several self-governing activities, but the only one mentioned in the article).
I don't really understand the point of wikifying a pound sign either, but maybe that's just me... MrBeast 13:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the consideration you gave to my RfA. To be chosen as an administrator requires a high level of confidence by a broad section of the community. Although I received a great deal of support, at this time I do not hold the level of confidence required, and the RfA did not pass. Yours was one of the neutral votes, and raised concerns. I am more than willing to discuss those concerns with you if you are interested. Please let me know. Sincerely, -- BostonMA talk 13:12, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support in my my RfA, which passed with a tally of 117/0/1. I hope that my conduct as an admin lives up to the somewhat flattering confidence the community has shown in me; and that my additional responsibilites as an admin will not detract from the other areas I contribute to.

Thank you for your recent application to use AutoWikiBrowser. I have approved your request and you should now be able to use the AWB application.

Hey, thanks for participating in my recent RFA. You were amongst a number of editors who remained neutral on the topic. The RFA did not succeed (69/26/11). I am extremely grateful that you took the time to advise me on to improve as a Wikipedian and I'd like to assure you that I'll do my level best to develop my skills here to a point where you may feel you could trust me with the mop.
I've been blown away by the level of interest taken in my RFA and appreciate the time and energy dedicated by all the editors who have contributed to it, support, oppose and neutral alike. I hope to bump into you again soon and look forward to serving you and Wikipedia in any way I can. Cheers!

Having seen User:Insanephantom/RfA criteria, it would be a failure on my part not to point out that the statement "User's statement have problems (e.g. spelling or grammar)" have problems. Opabinia regalis 06:32, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I could delete the page if you want me to, or you could blank it and replace it with some prose about trusting people, or whatever you want. >Radiant< 09:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
I understand that editing other users' talk pages is allowed as a means of communication. I deleted Just_H ( talk · contribs)'s {{welcome123}} only because I had read it already, and I placed the message about editing other users' text in emulation of Just_H's own Talk Page. I meant no disrespect, in fact I found the {{welcome123}} page very helpful.

I was coping comments on my page and pasting them on User talk:Guettarda. He is repeatedily deleting my comments from his page. According to his rationale they should be on one page, so why not on his? On a fair note I would request you to put my comments back on that page, which he/she has deleted. -- Falcon007 02:59, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Please undo your revert of my talk page. Guettarda 03:55, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Further to the chat we're having about former vandals and RfAs, I see your talk archive is also whitewashed. Now that you're an established editor, are you comfortable with this state of affairs? -- Dweller 11:17, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Well, I'm not really saying it's appropriate or inappropriate (others may have a different view). If I were you, I'd add one of those diffs to the archive to stop people from thinking that I've tried to hide my past... which (I think) comes over very badly. -- Dweller 13:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
lol i started the Lengfellner System page and one minute later you are adding to it and editing it. How did you know about so quickly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Unlocked ( talk • contribs)

Thanks for taking the time to review my contributions and contribute to my RfA. I withdrew when it became clear that the uphill climb had crossed the snowball threshold, but I appreciate your feedback and the process gave me some good ideas for other ways I can be contributing to Wikipedia.

Why did you revert my edits to University of Bristol Union? It's clearly no longer a stub, and the Student Community Action doesn't really deserve it's own infobox (it's one of several self-governing activities, but the only one mentioned in the article).
I don't really understand the point of wikifying a pound sign either, but maybe that's just me... MrBeast 13:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the consideration you gave to my RfA. To be chosen as an administrator requires a high level of confidence by a broad section of the community. Although I received a great deal of support, at this time I do not hold the level of confidence required, and the RfA did not pass. Yours was one of the neutral votes, and raised concerns. I am more than willing to discuss those concerns with you if you are interested. Please let me know. Sincerely, -- BostonMA talk 13:12, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
User:71.76.172.222 keeps blanking his talk page. Should it be protected? - WarthogDemon 06:28, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
The January issue of the WikiProject Tropical cyclones newsletter is now available. If you wish to receive the full newsletter or no longer be informed of the release of future editions, please add your username to the appropriate section on the mailing list.-- Nilf anion ( talk) 23:32, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your comment. I have in fact been continually editing, although until ca. 2006 most of this was under a different username, User:Anárion. I have now added that to the RFA page as well. It is true that my editing rate has slowed down some, but I am still active. -- Jordi· ✆ 13:54, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support in my my RfA, which passed with a tally of 117/0/1. I hope that my conduct as an admin lives up to the somewhat flattering confidence the community has shown in me; and that my additional responsibilites as an admin will not detract from the other areas I contribute to. Please don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page should you need anything or want to discuss something with me.-- Nilf anion ( talk) 16:03, 9 January 2007 (UTC) |
Hi. Please see my response to your !vote. It's probably academic, as the RfA seems doomed, but I'd love it if you reviewed your decision. -- Dweller 09:54, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your recent application to use AutoWikiBrowser. I have approved your request and you should now be able to use the AWB application. Be sure to check every edit before you save it, and don't forget to check out the AWB Guide. You can get any help you need over on the AWB talk page. Feel free to contact me with any questions, alphachimp 00:00, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for participating in my recent RFA. You were amongst a number of editors who remained neutral on the topic. The RFA did not succeed (69/26/11). I am extremely grateful that you took the time to advise me on to improve as a Wikipedian and I'd like to assure you that I'll do my level best to develop my skills here to a point where you may feel you could trust me with the mop.
I've been blown away by the level of interest taken in my RFA and appreciate the time and energy dedicated by all the editors who have contributed to it, support, oppose and neutral alike. I hope to bump into you again soon and look forward to serving you and Wikipedia in any way I can. Cheers!

Having seen User:Insanephantom/RfA criteria, it would be a failure on my part not to point out that the statement "User's statement have problems (e.g. spelling or grammar)" have problems. Opabinia regalis 06:32, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I could delete the page if you want me to, or you could blank it and replace it with some prose about trusting people, or whatever you want. >Radiant< 09:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
I understand that editing other users' talk pages is allowed as a means of communication. I deleted Just_H ( talk · contribs)'s {{welcome123}} only because I had read it already, and I placed the message about editing other users' text in emulation of Just_H's own Talk Page. I meant no disrespect, in fact I found the {{welcome123}} page very helpful.
-- Dan Slimmon 23:11, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
I was coping comments on my page and pasting them on User talk:Guettarda. He is repeatedily deleting my comments from his page. According to his rationale they should be on one page, so why not on his? On a fair note I would request you to put my comments back on that page, which he/she has deleted. -- Falcon007 02:59, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
The stuff I removed is redundant on the page; a verbatim copy is just above it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.143.239.182 ( talk) 03:27, 13 January 2007 (UTC).
Please undo your revert of my talk page. Guettarda 03:55, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Further to the chat we're having about former vandals and RfAs, I see your talk archive is also whitewashed. Now that you're an established editor, are you comfortable with this state of affairs? -- Dweller 11:17, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Well, I'm not really saying it's appropriate or inappropriate (others may have a different view). If I were you, I'd add one of those diffs to the archive to stop people from thinking that I've tried to hide my past... which (I think) comes over very badly. -- Dweller 13:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
lol i started the Lengfellner System page and one minute later you are adding to it and editing it. How did you know about so quickly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Unlocked ( talk • contribs)
This is to thank you for your early support on my RfA, which closed favorably this morning. I appreciate the confidence the community has placed in me and am looking forward to my new responsibilities. Please let me know if ever you have any comments or suggestions, especially as I am learning how to use the tools. Best regards, Newyorkbrad 17:37, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Not sure how to go about closing a debate on the AfD list. This one seems to be done--somewhat obvious that there is no ground for the nomination: [ [3]] Any suggestions on procedure for closing it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MonkeyTimeBoy ( talk • contribs)
Thanks for taking the time to review my contributions and contribute to my RfA. I withdrew when it became clear that the uphill climb had crossed the snowball threshold, but I appreciate your feedback and the process gave me some good ideas for other ways I can be contributing to Wikipedia. I'll work on the areas that came up in the discussion, and try again after I've gained wider experience. - FisherQueen ( Talk) 12:34, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
I am not inserting vandalism into a wiki page. I teach at a school, so maybe the students are committing the vandalism. I am registered under the name "nuorder"...any changes I have made are honest.
Thanks,
Rob —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nuorder ( talk • contribs) 14:44, 25 January 2007 (UTC).
Please revert your edits where you changed conversions. If the original values were rounded off, the conversions should be of a similar accuracy, see WP:MOSNUM#Units of measurement. – Chacor 06:59, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
