Member of the month
The May member of the month is TitoXD. The WikiProject awards this to him for his brilliant work in improving articles. TitoXD joined the WikiProject in October just after it had been founded. Since then he has contributed substantially to many articles, for example Hurricane Nora (1997), which is currently a Featured Article Candidate. He is also actively involved in the assessment of articles and so helps to improve many more articles.
Explanation of content
If you have a topic which is not directly related to any specific article but is relevant to the WikiProject bring it up on the Newsletters talk page, and it will probably be included in a future edition of The Hurricane Herald.

Thanks for uploading Image:Barrty.jpg. I notice the files description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} 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. Note that any unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu Badali 22:05, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed youre creating articles to Heart songs.... thanks. Just wanted to direct your attention to WP:SONGS pertaining to formatting: song titles in Wikipedia are "quoted" and album titles are italicized. Also per MoS there's no need for repeat-wikilinking on a page... once is all that is needed (i.e. "Crazy on You" re-issue on the discography page). Thanks! -- eo 19:10, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

You are an idiot and a douchebag. Look at your history. Does it have record of me tampering with your user page? I didn't think so. Also I'm a high school student so is it really necessary to make suggestions of me living in my mother's basement? The only thing that comes close to relating to my mother in that basement is her picture on the wall and her ashes in a green and blue urn. How about you go burn in hell instead? Thanks for being a prick. -- SOLVE INFERNIS
Nice to here from you again. And actually, yeah, I did here about Maria's death. Poor Maria. Well, my grandma's 91 and still lives by herself and has a liscense. Maybe she'll be the world's oldest woman eventually. My family seems to live long. My great-grandfather died at 92 1/2, yet he drank, mined coal, and had some disease. Weird, huh. íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 00:29, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I saw the articles you created on books from Dean Koontz like Cold Fire (Koontz novel). The plot summary in that case was a direct copy and paste from the publishing company. Which is protected by their copyright (not released under a free license) and is not useable for Wikipedia articles. I removed all copyrighted content from a lot of books in Category:Dean Koontz novels. If you read the books maybe you can add something in your own words to the articles.

I just noticed you nearly hit the nail on the head with your prediction for Chris. Ernesto, you came close... but way off on intensity. Nice predictions, and good to see that you're back. →Cycl one1→ 21:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but I don't personally consider the fact that it was the first enclosed mall in ND to be a sufficient claim of notability (you can see my resoning right above your keep vote on the AfD page). Regardless, I'm going to predict this will be kept on a no consensus based on the current opinions that have been rendered, so I don't think you have to worry about this article being removed.-- Isotope23 20:15, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
From my understanding, you are only supposed to view the IP of a user if there is a severe problem on the wikipedia server, and you appear to disregard this rule. if a person vandalises your user page, what makes that more important than mine? Just because you have certain powers doesn't mean you can just go to town with them. Daniel_123 ► ► 01:25, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I removed Image:BusterPoindexter.gif you had at User:Weatherman90/Music under the fair use policy (point 9) which says "Fair use images may be used only in the article namespace. Used outside article space, they are not covered under the fair use doctrine. They should never be used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages."
