This newsletter covers all of August 2010. Please visit this page and bookmark any suggestions of interest to you. This will help improve monitoring of the WikiProject's articles. Storm of the month Tropical Depression Nine-E formed on August 21 south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec. It developed into a tropical storm the following morning. On August 23, Frank continued to intensify, but later faced shear and entered a period of weakening. However, on August 24, as shear decreased, it began to reorganize and strengthen again, becoming a hurricane on August 25. Two days later, Frank weakened into a tropical storm. Rapidly weakening overnight, NHC issued that it have been degraded into an remnant low. The area of low pressure associated with Frank was absorbed with another area of disturbed weather which later developed into Tropical Depression Ten-E. Throughout Central America, Hurricane Frank produced torrential rain that resulted in at least 30 fatalities, most of which took place in Nicaragua and Honduras. In Guatemala alone, damage from the system was estimated to be up to $500 million. In Mexico, six deaths were reported. A total 30 homes were destroyed with 26 others damaged. Two major roads were damaged with another road blocked due to a landslides. Several rivers overflowed their banks as well. Losses from the storms totaled millions of dollars. Water Currents form a nearby volcano were damaged as well.

ITN for 2010 Ecuador crisis
About the template you made Template:Highest ACE Atlantic hurricane seasons navbox, I recently created a table for the ACE totals on the 1998 season page and discovered the totals were extremely close to those in 1887. So I consulted with the Talk:Accumulated cyclone energy/Atlantic by year page and added up all of the numbers of ACE for both 1887 and 1998. With all of the numbers added up, 1887 had a total of about 181.565 (it was rounded to 182 on the 1887 page) and 1998 was at 181.77; which means that the 1887 Atlantic hurricane season is incorrectly listed as 10th highest on that template, but it should actually be 1998. -- 12george1 ( talk) 16:26, 18 October 2010 (UTC) The WikiProject Tropical Cyclones Newsletter#32B{{ Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Newsletter/Archive 32B}} -- Anirudh Emani ( talk) 10:11, 21 October 2010 (UTC) Incomplete etymology of typhoonHi, I hope you won't mind my saying this, but the paragraph you inserted on the etymology of the word " typhoon" seems a little high-handed, incomplete and poorly referenced. You mention only an Asian etymology (itself somewhat questionable: why Mandarin, not Cantonese, or Japanese?), without mention of the well-documented Greek/Arabic/Portuguese/etc. etymologies. And your reference, a Chinese popularizing site, hardly seems authoritative. See for example the discussion in the Typhoon talk page or Tropical_cyclone#Origin_of_storm_terms. Would you mind if I updated your paragraph to include more information and references on this? -- Kai Carver ( talk) 06:06, 27 October 2010 (UTC) SandyGeorgiaThank you.

Aged 60Your edit has been questioned at WP:ERRORS#Errors in In the news. Art LaPella ( talk) 15:52, 29 October 2010 (UTC) SophiaBLiu's Research RequestMy name is Sophia and I am a PhD student at University of Colorado in Boulder researching the use of social media for historically significant crises like Hurricane Katrina. I am interested in what kind of values and practices are emerging from these disasters especially with the use of ubiquitous technologies like blogs and social media sites like Wikipedia. I am contacting you because I noticed you are one of the top contributors of the Hurricane Katrina Wikipedia article. I was wondering if you would be open to answering some questions for my dissertation research on this topic. One example of a question I have is: You provided a considerable amount of edits to the Hurricane Katrina Wikipedia article. What kind of edits did you make? What story was being told before you edited the article and how does that differ from what is in Wikipedia now? Feel free to email me at Sophia.Liu@colorado.edu if you have any questions. Thanks for your time, Sophia -- Sophiabliu ( talk) 05:47, 29 November 2010 (UTC) NWPI've asked Feline Hymnic (hope I spelled that right) to look over the NWP article.

Satellite temperature measurementsI'm still trying to figure out how editing numerical weather prediction got me over into an article which had previously been within the realm of the global warming set of articles. Anyway, could you look over the general appearance of this article, and let me know if I've made much of an improvement there over the past several days? It's a dicey proposition to edit any of the climate change-related articles, but in this case, like urban heat island a couple years back, it begged for wikification. Thegreatdr ( talk) 22:51, 14 January 2011 (UTC) Tips on newpage and edit patrol?Ello Titoxd, I've been noticing that I've been making a lot of reversions to pages that you've either recently reverted, or that I go to revert something and you've already beat me to the punch. I did a fair bit of newpage patrolling and vandalism watching last year, but really haven't done so in a long time (and was never that knowledgeable on it in the first place--though I did manage to get rollback, and how I did that is beyond me). Any chance you can reference a decent tutorial or article, sort of a "newcomers guide to patrolling"? I know some of the basics, but occasionally I make an incorrect reversion or incorrectly tag an article for speedy deletion, and people tend to get cranky about it (understandably). I've skimmed through some of the articles like Wikipedia:Speedy_deletions and similar ones, but maybe you know of some tailored specifically to what I'm doing? (feel free to see my recent revisions, or a related complaint on my talk page). I use Huggle to keep an eye on the edit feed, and I use Twinkle for newpage patrol and for ease of adding warnings sometimes. Any help would be appreciated. :-) Warbirdadmiral (talk) 09:07, 15 January 2011 (UTC) Anniversary jigsaw logoAny chance you can upload the anniversary jigsaw piece logo to the wiki as a separate file so we can include it in its full 135x155px glory in Wikipedia:Wikipedia logos?

Re:fake hurricane season articlesOkay. Thanks! I did not know that you could do that. And the fake hurricane season articles are just practice so I can do better in future articles and edits. The only reason I do not delete the pages is because I want to try editing those, for even more practice. Another reason is because I like to read over them, and see how good I have done. Again, I edit those pages, for practice so I can be better at editing real articles. Thanks again for the helpful information, I will get on that.--Ryder 02:46, 14 February 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryder Busby ( talk • contribs) sandbox

Firstly let me state that I am aware of WP:WRONGVERSION, however I stil think you have protected this in the wrong place as I don't think that as a general rule wrong version should apply to pages where an ongoing move discussion is taken place - it should be protected at the stable version. There's a simple reason for this - it screw's up the requested move discussion. I've seen them closed as already moved (not least because the tag effectively says this), people vote the wrong way because they get confused and all sorts of other silliness go on when a page is moved in the middle of the discussion and for this reason such moves are normally reverted. Protecting the page is the "non-stable" location will only make the discussion harder. Therefore I ask that you apply some common sense and move it back. That said I realise that I'm involved in the discussion (although that's not my reason for asking for it to be moved back) and that wrong version is generally accepted so I'd understand if you don't. I would start an RfC on whether wrongversion should apply in cases like this but it would probably get so little participation as to be worthless. Dpmuk ( talk) 01:03, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
Unprotection of the MOSHi Titoxd. A few editors are asking about the protection of WP:MOS and want to know what is needed for it to be unprotected; since you are the protecting admin, I thought it would be best for you to comment.

ITN updateHi! Can you please take a look at this proposed blurb expansion - Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates#.5BUpdate_proposal.5D_Judgement_of_Ante_Gotovina. Thanks.-- Avala ( talk) 20:53, 17 April 2011 (UTC) MoS protectionHiya Titoxd, It's been a while since I've worked on the MoS at all, but I figured that I'd go and add a simple little "see also" link that should be non-controversial (which, I know, it being the MoS, I'm probably being overly optimistic, but still) only to find that the page has been full protected for more than 2 months now. So, I go to the talk page to see what's up, only to find... nothing. Luckily, I'm experienced enough to know that I need to look at the archive. Sure enough, I see that the issue is the (ongoing?) dash war. *sigh* Anyway, I was about to start another discussion on the MoS talk page, but I figured that I'd come to you first as just ask for un-protection. Granted, Tony, PMA, Noetica, etc... are probably watching your talk page, so my hope that a quiet un-protection will allow things to proceed smoothly is likely just wishful thinking. Still, I wanted to at least ask, and see what happened. "Nothing ventured...", and all.

With all of the numbers added up, 1887 had a total of about 181.565 (it was rounded to 182 on the 1887 page) and 1998 was at 181.77; which means that the 1887 Atlantic hurricane season is incorrectly listed as 10th highest on that template, but it should actually be 1998. -- 12george1 ( talk) 16:26, 18 October 2010 (UTC) The WikiProject Tropical Cyclones Newsletter#32B{{ Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Newsletter/Archive 32B}} -- Anirudh Emani ( talk) 10:11, 21 October 2010 (UTC) Incomplete etymology of typhoonHi, I hope you won't mind my saying this, but the paragraph you inserted on the etymology of the word " typhoon" seems a little high-handed, incomplete and poorly referenced. You mention only an Asian etymology (itself somewhat questionable: why Mandarin, not Cantonese, or Japanese?), without mention of the well-documented Greek/Arabic/Portuguese/etc. etymologies. And your reference, a Chinese popularizing site, hardly seems authoritative. See for example the discussion in the Typhoon talk page or Tropical_cyclone#Origin_of_storm_terms. Would you mind if I updated your paragraph to include more information and references on this? -- Kai Carver ( talk) 06:06, 27 October 2010 (UTC) SandyGeorgiaThank you.

Aged 60Your edit has been questioned at WP:ERRORS#Errors in In the news. Art LaPella ( talk) 15:52, 29 October 2010 (UTC) SophiaBLiu's Research RequestMy name is Sophia and I am a PhD student at University of Colorado in Boulder researching the use of social media for historically significant crises like Hurricane Katrina. I am interested in what kind of values and practices are emerging from these disasters especially with the use of ubiquitous technologies like blogs and social media sites like Wikipedia. I am contacting you because I noticed you are one of the top contributors of the Hurricane Katrina Wikipedia article. I was wondering if you would be open to answering some questions for my dissertation research on this topic. One example of a question I have is: You provided a considerable amount of edits to the Hurricane Katrina Wikipedia article. What kind of edits did you make? What story was being told before you edited the article and how does that differ from what is in Wikipedia now? Feel free to email me at Sophia.Liu@colorado.edu if you have any questions. Thanks for your time, Sophia -- Sophiabliu ( talk) 05:47, 29 November 2010 (UTC) NWPI've asked Feline Hymnic (hope I spelled that right) to look over the NWP article.

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Test-de
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding Benfjensen image?I understand your concern about fair use, but it is already on the page of the Congressman. However, why is it in the wrong column? It appears in the correct column of the table. Naraht ( talk) 20:52, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Satellite temperature measurementsI'm still trying to figure out how editing numerical weather prediction got me over into an article which had previously been within the realm of the global warming set of articles. Anyway, could you look over the general appearance of this article, and let me know if I've made much of an improvement there over the past several days? It's a dicey proposition to edit any of the climate change-related articles, but in this case, like urban heat island a couple years back, it begged for wikification. Thegreatdr ( talk) 22:51, 14 January 2011 (UTC) Tips on newpage and edit patrol?Ello Titoxd, I've been noticing that I've been making a lot of reversions to pages that you've either recently reverted, or that I go to revert something and you've already beat me to the punch. I did a fair bit of newpage patrolling and vandalism watching last year, but really haven't done so in a long time (and was never that knowledgeable on it in the first place--though I did manage to get rollback, and how I did that is beyond me). Any chance you can reference a decent tutorial or article, sort of a "newcomers guide to patrolling"? I know some of the basics, but occasionally I make an incorrect reversion or incorrectly tag an article for speedy deletion, and people tend to get cranky about it (understandably). I've skimmed through some of the articles like Wikipedia:Speedy_deletions and similar ones, but maybe you know of some tailored specifically to what I'm doing? (feel free to see my recent revisions, or a related complaint on my talk page). I use Huggle to keep an eye on the edit feed, and I use Twinkle for newpage patrol and for ease of adding warnings sometimes. Any help would be appreciated. :-) Warbirdadmiral (talk) 09:07, 15 January 2011 (UTC) Anniversary jigsaw logoAny chance you can upload the anniversary jigsaw piece logo to the wiki as a separate file so we can include it in its full 135x155px glory in Wikipedia:Wikipedia logos?

Re:fake hurricane season articlesOkay. Thanks! I did not know that you could do that. And the fake hurricane season articles are just practice so I can do better in future articles and edits. The only reason I do not delete the pages is because I want to try editing those, for even more practice. Another reason is because I like to read over them, and see how good I have done. Again, I edit those pages, for practice so I can be better at editing real articles. Thanks again for the helpful information, I will get on that.--Ryder 02:46, 14 February 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryder Busby ( talk • contribs) sandbox

Firstly let me state that I am aware of WP:WRONGVERSION, however I stil think you have protected this in the wrong place as I don't think that as a general rule wrong version should apply to pages where an ongoing move discussion is taken place - it should be protected at the stable version. There's a simple reason for this - it screw's up the requested move discussion. I've seen them closed as already moved (not least because the tag effectively says this), people vote the wrong way because they get confused and all sorts of other silliness go on when a page is moved in the middle of the discussion and for this reason such moves are normally reverted. Protecting the page is the "non-stable" location will only make the discussion harder. Therefore I ask that you apply some common sense and move it back. That said I realise that I'm involved in the discussion (although that's not my reason for asking for it to be moved back) and that wrong version is generally accepted so I'd understand if you don't. I would start an RfC on whether wrongversion should apply in cases like this but it would probably get so little participation as to be worthless. Dpmuk ( talk) 01:03, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
Unprotection of the MOSHi Titoxd. A few editors are asking about the protection of WP:MOS and want to know what is needed for it to be unprotected; since you are the protecting admin, I thought it would be best for you to comment. See Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#Deal with the issue that led to this protection. Regards, Dabomb87 ( talk) 22:44, 24 March 2011 (UTC) The Signpost interview

ITN updateHi! Can you please take a look at this proposed blurb expansion - Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates#.5BUpdate_proposal.5D_Judgement_of_Ante_Gotovina. Thanks.-- Avala ( talk) 20:53, 17 April 2011 (UTC) MoS protectionHiya Titoxd, It's been a while since I've worked on the MoS at all, but I figured that I'd go and add a simple little "see also" link that should be non-controversial (which, I know, it being the MoS, I'm probably being overly optimistic, but still) only to find that the page has been full protected for more than 2 months now. So, I go to the talk page to see what's up, only to find... nothing. Luckily, I'm experienced enough to know that I need to look at the archive. Sure enough, I see that the issue is the (ongoing?) dash war. *sigh* Anyway, I was about to start another discussion on the MoS talk page, but I figured that I'd come to you first as just ask for un-protection. Granted, Tony, PMA, Noetica, etc... are probably watching your talk page, so my hope that a quiet un-protection will allow things to proceed smoothly is likely just wishful thinking. Still, I wanted to at least ask, and see what happened. "Nothing ventured...", and all.
