OK; that link doesn't contain the term, though. Since it's technical, you might consider putting it in quotes on first appearance—non-specialists will find it unusual. Tony 06:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Would 'self-organise' be clearer, then? Tony 06:53, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Userbox proposal
Hi, AySz88,

Thanks for adding your propsal to the WikiProject Userboxes list. Right now, it seems like the most active discussions about userbox policy are at Mackensen's Proposal. Have you shared your views there as well? Regards, Rfrisbietalk 12:33, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Random notes
I noticed on your userpage under "missing pages" is hurricane computer models. Would Tropical cyclone prediction model be what you're looking for? I also noticed you removed a humor link due to it not showing the basketball pic; why don't you just link to the earlier revision? Thanks! -- RattleMan 19:38, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your support
Dear , Thank you very much for your support on my recent RfA. I am pleased to announce that it passed with a tally of 72/11/1, and I am now an administrator. I'll be taking things slowly at first and getting used to the tools, but please let me know if there are any admin jobs I can do to help you, now or in the future. —Cuivi é nen 02:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Tropical Cyclone Coincidences
I like the Northeast flooding thing better than Ophelia. I think that is a better example actually. Good Thinkin. Thanks. →Cyclone 1 → 16:52, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Neurobiology
Thanks for bringing the neurobiology article to my attention. I am still working on expanding that article so please do not redirect the article to neuroscience. As a neurobiologist myself, I must emphasize again that there is a fundamental difference between neuroscience and neurobiology just as there is a fundamental difference between natural sciences and physics. The article may be short, but it is not a stub, and therefore does not warrant deletion. Moreover, there are ample details in that article that makes it completely different from the neuroscience article. If you would like to help, I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise, please let it be for now while I try to finish the last couple of sections. Thanks.

Point taken, my mistake. Thanks. Danielkueh 16:06, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I reinserted that definition and expanded the article to a stub. It is comparable to neuroscientist. Thanks. Danielkueh 16:15, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Storm of the month

Tropical Storm Alberto was the first tropical storm of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season. Forming on June 10 over the western Caribbean Sea, the system moved northwestward as a disorganized tropical depression due to dry air and wind shear. It passed to the west of Cuba, bringing heavy rainfall to Cuba and Grand Cayman. The rainfall damaged 37 homes and destroyed 3 in Havana. It strengthened over the Gulf of Mexico and became a tropical storm on June 11. The center reformed to the northeast near its deep convection, and Alberto reached a peak intensity of 70 mph (110 km/h) before weakening and hitting the Florida Panhandle on June 13. Alberto brought heavy rainfall to the southeastern United States, peaking at 7.16 inches in Raleigh, North Carolina. The rainfall in Florida was beneficial in places as it alleviated drought conditions. The storm indirectly caused two deaths: A pilot who crashed near Tampa due to poor conditions and a boy who drowned in the flooding in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Other tropical cyclone activity
 * Tropical Depression Two-E briefly existed near the Mexican coast on June 3 to June 4 and brought heavy rainfall to Acapulco.
 * Tropical Storm Jelawat lasted from June 26 to June 29 in the South China Sea and made landfall on China. The storm caused flooding which killed at least seven people.
 * Tropical Storm Ewiniar formed on June 30 east of Palau. It is forecast to reach typhoon strength.

Heat wave
Thanks for your message. You will note that I never "reverted" anyone. I just added content relating to the heat wave in various different ways, providing an explanation each time in the talk page. You will also note that this last time I put it in the general timeline section and not in the Chris section. I do agree that this heat wave is unlikely to affect Chris. Nobody has provided me any reason why heat waves are unrelated to hurricanes, though. I think the causal direction is heat waves creating hurricanes and not the other way around.
 * Also, as a little feedback for you... your note to me did not sound as nice as you think it did. It sounded like you were threatening 3RR. Be nice, I am trying to help. Peace, MPS 17:46, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Storm of the month

Severe Tropical Storm Bilis was a damaging tropical storm that caused significant damage to areas of southeastern China, the Philippines and Taiwan. The fourth named storm of the 2006 Pacific typhoon season formed to the east of the Philippines on July 8 and moved towards Taiwan, strengthening as it did so. It reached its peak strength of 110 km/h (70 mph) on July 13, shortly before it made its first landfall on northern Taiwan. Bilis then made a second landfall in Fujian, China on July 14 after officials evaucated over 1 million residents from the areas in the storm's path. The remnant lasted for several days after landfall and brought heavy rain to inland China. The most significant damage occurred in Hunan, where heavy flooding and mudslides destroyed over 31,000 homes and killed 345. Despite never reaching typhoon strength, the storm was responsible for $2.5 billion in damage and at least 625 fatalities in total.

Other tropical cyclone activity

There were 10 other tropical cyclones worldwide in July, with activity in all 4 northern hemisphere basins.


 * In the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Beryl made landfall on Nantucket on July 21 before bringing rain to Atlantic Canada.
 * In the East Pacific, Hurricane Bud was a Category 3 hurricane that formed on July 10 and dissipated on July 15.
 * Hurricane Carlotta twice became a minimal hurricane before degenerating into a remnant low on July 16.
 * Hurricane Daniel reached Category 4 strength and was predicted to make landfall in Hawaii before it dissipated on July 26.
 * Tropical Storm Emilia brought tropical storm-force winds to southern Baja California on July 26 and was forecast to become a hurricane but this did not occur.
 * Tropical Storm Fabio formed late on July 31 but did not last long in the face of strong shear.
 * In the West Pacific,Typhoon Ewiniar (Ester) formed on June 29 to the east of the Philippines, it reached Category 4 strength before making landfall in South Korea on July 10 as a tropical storm. It killed at least 36 people.
 * Typhoon Kaemi (Glenda) formed on July 2 and passed over Taiwan before dissipating over mainland China on July 26. It brought heavy rain to Taiwan and the Philippines and killed at least 32 people in China.
 * Typhoon Prapiroon (Henry) formed on July 28 but did not reach tropical storm strength until August.
 * In the North Indian Ocean, Tropical Storm 03B formed on June 30 near the east Indian coast before making landfall on the Orissa coast on July 2.

Useful sources of tropical cyclone information

The following organizations provide helpful information for writing about tropical cyclones, both past and present.
 * National Hurricane Center - Official forecasts for the Atlantic and East Pacific and a massive archive starting in 1958.
 * Central Pacific Hurricane Center - Official forecasts for the Central Pacific and summaries of past storms.
 * Joint Typhoon Warning Center - Unoffical forecasts for storms in the West Pacific and other regions. Has an archive of storm reports back to 1959.
 * Japan Meteorological Agency - Official forecasts for the West Pacific.
 * Naval Research Laboratory - A great source for satellite imagery of tropical cyclones.
 * Hydrometeorological Prediction Center - Forecasts of weakening tropical cyclones in the United States and information and maps of rainfall in the US.
 * National Climatic Data Center - Lots of information is available here, including satellite imagery. The Storm events archive is very useful for information on storms in the US and its territories.

In his April Tropical Cyclone Summary, Gary Padgett stated that he will extensively reference Wikipedia in his future summaries. 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).

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.
 * In the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Chris moved to the north of Puerto Rico before dissipating on August 5 near Cuba.

Userbox moving
Hi, I have continued to move the Firefox userbox as it isn't directly related to the project or directly related to Wikipedia. Also, if I don't finish there will be half of users user pages will have one location, the other the second location. Also some stuff from the migration page: -- Andeh 20:34, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * "All userbox templates that show a POV or are not directly related to wikipedia will be deleted after a period of time."
 * Almost no userboxes are located in the template (in German, Vorlage) space, except for the standard "This user speaks XYZ" (aka Babel) boxes and similar.


 * Actually, the principle I'm working on is one from "English implementation features#After the Migration: "<> It should be updated to inform users that non-Babel userboxes should only be created in userspace or an appropriate subpage, such as a corresponding WikiProject." Cheers, The Raven's Apprentice (Talk 14:18, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Userbox migration scope
I was just trying to follow the guideline, or whatever the editors of Wikipedia consider WP:GUS. When I migrated User Trillian, I was basing that migration off of this text: " [...] or unencyclopedic (such as "Template:User eats bagels") userbox templates" (The top of WP:GUS}. If I had enough edits to apply for using AWB, I would have happily figured out how to complete the migration on one userbox at a time to minimize the interruption on the pages of users. Needless to say, I am working to that goal. I think I shall pause for now, at least until I can acquire the permission to use AWB, or if I happen to stumble across one that is controversial.

I'm sorry if I unknowingly cause you any trouble due to the migration of the userbox(es). May you have a pleasant day, and happy editing. --Kyra~(talk) 19:24, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #6
Number 6, November 5, 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.

The WikiProject has its own IRC channel. "THIS IS THE LAST PUBLIC ADVISORY ISSUED ON THIS USER UNLESS REGENERATION OCCURS"

Storm of the month Typhoon Xangsane, known as Typhoon Milenyo in the Philippines was a destructive typhoon that affected the Philippines and Indochina. The storm caused severe flooding and landslides in the regions it affected and was responsible for at least 279 deaths and $747 million (USD) in damage, mostly in the Philippines and Vietnam. Xangsane formed to the east of the Philippines and rapidly intensified, striking Samar Island as a Category 4 typhoon. It weakened over the Philippines, but again reached Category 4 strength in the South China Sea. After its landfall in Vietnam, the typhoon dissipated, with its remnant crossing Indochina and entering the Bay of Bengal.

Other tropical cyclone activity
 * Hurricane Isaac, which formed in September, hit Newfoundland with minimal effects on October 2. It was the only Atlantic storm in October.
 * One hurricane, Hurricane Paul, formed in the eastern Pacific and hit Mexico. There were also two tropical storms, Norman and Olivia, and two tropical depressions in the basin.
 * In addition to Typhoon Xangsane, two further typhoons and two tropical storms developed in the west Pacific. Typhoon Soulik and Tropical Storms Bebinca and Rumbia both stayed clear of land, whilst Typhoon Cimaron hit the Philippines killing at least 19 people there, before it dissipated in the South China Sea.
 * The North Indian Ocean saw one storm, Cyclonic Storm Ogni form in the Bay of Bengal.
 * The 2006-2007 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season got underway, with Tropical Cyclone Xavier forming to the west of Fiji. There were two further tropical depressions in the South Pacific and a tropical disturbance in the South Indian Ocean.

New articles and improvements wanted
 * Articles are wanted for Hurricane Flossy (1956), Tropical Storm Debbie (1965) and Tropical Storm Beryl (1994).
 * The articles on the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centres, such as those on the NHC, JMA and CPHC, all need work.
 * Likewise the articles on meteorologists such as Lixion Avila are poor.

Member of the month The October Member of the Month is Coredesat. Coredesat joined the WikiProject in March and has contributed to many diverse areas within the project. He has written two featured articles on Atlantic storms and a number of good articles on current typhoons. However, the article he is most proud of is a disambiguation page, a sorely neglected portion of the project.

Main Page content
 * Global tropical cyclone tracks appeared on the Main Page as Today's Featured Picture on October 3.
 * Entries from Hurricane Alberto (2000), Typhoon Xangsane (2006), Tropical Storm Bertha (2002) and Hurricane Bob (1985) appeared on the Main Page in the Did you know column during October.

New and improved articles
 * New storm articles include: Hurricane Alberto (2000), Tropical Depression Nine (2003), Hurricane Paul (2006) and Tropical Storm Peter (2003).
 * A non-storm article was made on Pacific hurricane.
 * New featured content: List of Delaware hurricanes, 2004 Atlantic hurricane season and 2004 Atlantic hurricane season.
 * Significantly improved articles include: Hurricane Erika (2003) (A), Hurricane Linda (1997) (GA), Hurricane Ophelia (2005) (GA), Subtropical Storm Nicole (2004) (GA) and Hurricane Danny (2003).

Tropical cyclone scales

The various agencies which report on tropical cyclones use a variety of different scales to measure the storms strength. The most familiar of these is the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale and this is the de facto standard in the project and should be used everywhere. However, as it is only official in the Atlantic and East Pacific, other local scales should be used when discussing storms in other regions and given primacy over the Saffir-Simpson Scale. The Saffir-Simpson scale is based on 1-minute averages, but other scales are generally based upon 10-minute averages, which are approximately 15% lower.

This table provides a useful-at-a-glance comparison of the various scales currently in use. Further complications arise due to the fact different agencies obtain different estimates for the same storm at the same time, so be careful to use the most appropriate source agency.

RE: User talk:Royalguard11/Userbox personalities
I originally wrote the essay to have userbox-deletionists on the right. There were some modifications made by User:NThurston. I believe the way he ordered it was on the traditional scale. Right=traditional (template space), left=change things (userspace). Libertarian=do whatever (don't care as long as there there), totalitarian=censor (get rid of all boxes). It is just an essay though, just an opinion to hopefully help everyone understand where everyone's coming from. -Royalguard11 (Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 01:07, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Hatnotes
I've added the notice of inactivity to the "hatnotes" proposal simply because it appeared to be inactive, judging by the lack of recent edits to the page and its talk page, and because it wasn't obvious whether there was consensus for it. Indeed, since I did so two months ago and you seem to be the first one to notice, I'd say this assessment was probably correct. That is not to say it's not a worthwhile proposal, because it looks useful, but it could use more community feedback. Thus, if you are interested in having a guideline on hatnotes, I'd recommend advertising this proposal (e.g. here) to get feedback. HTH!  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  09:02, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * To my knowledge it has never been a guideline (indeed, the previous tag was proposal). I would have no objection to it being added to the MOS, though. ( Radiant ) 15:47, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I see you're removing some of my links in this article to technical terms like invariant mass and COM frame. Now, I agree that such things perhaps shouldn't be linked EVERY time they occur, but once per paragraph (or even per page) of the same term, is far better than once per article. In a long article, it's entirely possible to miss the first use of a technical term, and therefore be glad for a "fairly close" link so you don't have to go back and search for it. Nor do I believe that one link per paragraph or per page, hurts readability. Are you opperating on any guidelines for this? S B Harris 21:32, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I like your general middle of the road suggestion of one link per particular tech phrase per section per article. I've actually gone to the style manual and proposed it as a policy (giving you credit), on the TALK page. Thanks. S  B Harris 01:19, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #7
Number 7, December 22, 2006 The Hurricane Herald This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. This shortened late issue covers just global tropical cyclone activity in November, to prevent the next newsletter from being too large.

Tropical cyclone activity
 * One hurricane, Hurricane Sergio, formed in the eastern Pacific. Sergio was the longest lasting November Pacific hurricane recorded. Two other tropical cyclones, Tropical Storm Rosa and a tropical depression formed in the basin. None of the systems affected land.
 * An unusual extratropical cyclone developed in the northern central Pacific, resembling a subtropical cyclone at its peak.
 * A total of three typhoons formed in the western Pacific, and all the storms followed a similar track across the Philippines. Typhoon Cimaron formed at the end of October and lasted into November, killing 19 people. Typhoon Chebi existed during the middle of the month and was the weakest of the three causing minor damages. The most devastating storm of the month, Typhoon Durian hit the Philippines on November 30, killing at least 720 people in the island nation.
 * Two named cyclones developed in the Southern Hemisphere, Tropical Cyclone Yani in the South Pacific and Moderate Tropical Storm Anita in the Southwest Indian Ocean. Two unnamed depression also formed in the South Pacific. None of these storms affected land.

Editorial

The lateness of this edition is due to me being on an wikibreak and no-one taking up the slack. My wikibreak was the result of a lightning strike damaging my internet connection and frying my router, and the time taken for the replacement to arrive. As this issue is almost 3 weeks later than planned, only the monthly cyclone activity for November has been included. The next letter will be produced for January 7, 2006 and will be larger than normal to cover both month's Wikipedia news and December's tropical activity. There will be no Member or Storm of the month in January, to reduce the length; and the newsletter will return to normal in February.--Nilfanion (talk) 21:59, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #8
Number 8, January 7, 2007 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 has its own IRC channel.

Tropical cyclone activity
 * Three tropical cyclones existed in the West Pacific during December. Typhoon Durian (Reming) was the deadliest and strongest of the three, killing over 800 people, in the Philippines and Vietnam and peaking at Category 4 strength. Typhoon Utor lasted formed on December 7 and lasted for 7 days, passing over the Philippines and causing severe floods in Malaysia. The final storm of the year, Tropical Storm Trami, lasted for three days and did not affect land.
 * The Southern Hemisphere saw a number of storms develop during December. The most significant was Cyclone Bondo, which hit Madagascar on December 23. Cyclone Anita dissipated early in the month, having formed in November and Cyclone Clovis developed on December 30 before reaching its peak in January. All of these storms were in the Southwest Indian Ocean, the only other cyclone was Cyclone Isobel that formed on December 31 to the north of Western Australia.

The Portal Portal:Tropical cyclones is designed as the entry point to the WikiProject's work and is recognised as a Featured Portal. The structure emulates that of Wikipedia's Main page and needs updating in a similar manner. The following are the key sections that need editorial attention:
 * Selected article: This is one of the articles of the project, rotated on a weekly basis. These are selected from the better-quality articles and discussed at Portal talk:Tropical cyclones/Selected article.
 * Selected picture: This is chosen from the pictures used in the articles and is rotated monthly. It is selected in a similar manner to the article on Portal talk:Tropical cyclones/Selected picture.
 * Did you know: This is rotated as new articles are created and contains an interesting fact from a few of the new articles.
 * Active tropical cyclones: The currently active tropical cyclones are listed here, and are linked to appropriately.
 * Tropical cyclone news: Recent events in Tropical cyclone activity, such as formation, landfalls and dissipation of storms.
 * Anniversaries: This significant anniversaries for each day in the last week. Unlike the others it refreshes automatically, but should be updated if a new significant event occurs.
 * Things you can do: Unlike the other sections which are reader orientated, this is aimed at editors to give suggestions of articles to work on.

Please keep all of these sections up-to-date and refresh them as new tropical cyclones develop and articles are created. Also please keep the suggestions to editors current and fresh.

Second Life
Thanks for contributing to Second Life, I am trying to bring it up to FA status. I think you're latest changes where too rash as the grammar is untypical of an entry on tech article. Firstly, the game is too new to have the first subsection be titled "history". I beleive in WP:NATIVE and won't revert but plz heavy up the LEAD again since this is required for a FA article. frummer 03:03, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Storm of the month Cyclone Clovis was named late on December 31 near to Tromelin Island. Clovis strengthened as it moved to the southwest reaching its peak the same day with 60 knot winds (according to Météo-France). The JTWC intensified Clovis more slowly, and assessed that it reached its peak with 65 knot winds on January 2, as it was nearing the Madagascar coast. The JTWC maintained this strength until it made landfall on the island on January 3. The resulting floods damaged a number of structures in Mananjary and about 1,500 people had to be evacuated. 

Other tropical cyclone activity The only activity during January was in the Southern Hemisphere, with a total of 5 cyclones existing throughout the month.
 * Dora, the second cyclone the Southwest Indian Ocean formed late in January well to the east of Réunion; and reached tropical cyclone strength at the start of February.
 * The two storms in the South Pacific, Zita and Arthur followed very similar tracks to the east of the Dateline. The JTWC estimated that Zita reached its peak on January 23 and Arthur briefly had hurricane force winds two days later.
 * Cyclone Isobel formed between Indonesia and Australia late in December and headed south, making landfall in Western Australia on January 3 as a minimal Tropical Cyclone.

New articles and improvements wanted
 * Articles are wanted for each of the tropical cyclone breakpoints (see this list).
 * An article is wanted for Tropical Storm Debbie (1965).
 * The Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone seasons articles need splitting into the 3 component basins.
 * This sandbox for Typhoon Durian badly needs completion, please help.
 * Large chunks of the project's imagery needs proper categorization.
 * The number of stubs has markedly increased in the past few months, please improve them.

Member of the month The January member of the month is Chacor, formerly known as NSLE. Chacor joined the project in November 2005, and has contributed to a wide variety of articles across the project. Recently he has generally focussed on the West Pacific and did most of the work on the first Good article in that basin: Typhoon Ewiniar (2006). He has also started the much needed process of splitting the Southern Hemisphere seasonal articles. Finally, Chacor is probably the user who maintains the quality of the most visible part of the project, the current activity.

Main Page content
 * Hurricane Juan appeared on the Main Page as Today's Featured Article on January 29.
 * Entries from 3 articles: 2000 Sri Lanka Cyclone, Hurricane Ignacio (2003) and Hurricane Bob (1979) appeared on the Main Page in the Did you know column during June.

Storm of the month Cyclone Favio developed well to the east of northern Madagascar on February 12 and moved to the southwest as it developed. The storm did not significantly intensify until February 19 when it was just off the soutern coast of Madagascar, but rapidly intenstified soon after to its peak with 185 km/h (115 mph) winds. Favio turned to the northwest and hit Mozambique worsening the floods already occuring in the country. Favio claimed at least 4 lives and destroyed thousands of homes.

Other tropical cyclone activity There were a total of 6 tropical cyclones in the southern hemisphere during February. Five of these, including Favio, were in the South West Indian Ocean.
 * The only other storm in the Australian region was Cyclone Nelson which formed at the end of January in the Gulf of Carpentaria before it hit Queensland.
 * Cyclone Dora was active in January and reached its peak as an annular cyclone on February 3 with 185 km/h (115 mph) winds.

Comments wanted on project talk Many discussions that potentially have far reaching impact for the whole project are carried out on the project's talk page. However, only a fraction of our active contributors actually engage in those discussions. If you add the project page to your Watchlist and keep an eye on discussions there to monitor upcoming changes, even if you don't participate in those discussions it would help both yourself and the project as a whole. For instance, at the moment the primary infobox templates such as Infobox hurricane are in the process of being deprecated and replaced by new versions which do the role more effectively.

QR decomposition
Which text book are you referring to in the edit summary of your edit to QR decomposition, which is "rv anon change from while ago - my textbook says same sign". Of the two textbooks that I consulted, one (Stoer & Bulirsch, Introduction to Numerical Analysis) says opposite sign, and the other (Golub & Van Loan, Matrix Computations) recommends using the same sign, but they add a trick to get rid of the cancellation. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 09:57, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Storm of the month Hurricane Will developed from a tropical wave to the east of the Caribbean Sea and intensified. It crossed over Jamaica and re-emerged over water a few days later. The storm intensified into a hurricane and an eye began to develop. Will became a major hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico and made landfall on the vulnerable Gulf Coast of the United States soon after. To date, Hurricane Will has claimed over 350 lives and is directly responsible for about $5 billion of damages; of which an unknown amount was insured. Despite the damage, it is not expected that the name will be retired by WMO.

Other tropical cyclone activity
 * After threatening the Eastern Seaboard for some time, Hurricane Hink has turned away and the NHC has cancelled all warnings associated with the storm.
 * The 2007 Pacific typhoon season began with Tropical Storm Kong-rey forming on March 31.
 * There were a total of 7 cyclones in the southern hemisphere: Becky in the South Pacific, Indlala and Jaya in the Southwestern Indian Ocean and Odette, George, Jacob and Kara in the Australian region. Indlala killed at least 80 and left over 100,000 homeless; whilst Cyclone George was the worst storm to affect Port Hedland in over 30 years.

Member of the month The April member of the month is HurricaneIrene. Irene began contributing to tropical cyclone articles on Wikipedia in August 2005, but ran out of steam and left after barely 2 weeks. However, Irene's influence on the project has been wide-reaching. Her efforts led directly to two articles attaining featured status and her legacy inspired many of our most active editors to write a plethora of good articles on a wide range of storms.

New and improved articles
 * The was one new featured article: Hurricane Kenna
 * New Good articles include: Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, Hurricane Florence (1988), Tropical cyclone observation and 1996 Pacific hurricane season.
 * New storm articles include: Hurricane Lili (1990), Tropical Storm Alberto (1988), Cyclone George and Typhoon Durian.
 * New non-storm articles include: Tropical cyclone naming, list of cyclones in Western Australia, Hurricane evacuation route and Tropical cyclone rainfall forecasting.

Main Page content
 * Hurricane Iniki appeared on the Main Page as Today's featured article on March 15.
 * Entries from 2 articles: Hurricane Katrina (1981) and Hurricane Guillermo (1997) appeared on the Main Page in the Did you know column during March.

Storm article statistics The Main Page

The WikiProject has a narrow scope, so it is not surprising that our articles are not frequently selected for Today's featured article. Most destructive cyclones are likely to be mentioned on the In the news column. We have no real control over that, but we should submit suggestions when appropriate.

However, we can do a more lot more to place our content in the other major section of the main page: The Did you know column. In the past month we created over 30 articles. Of these only 2 were even submitted as suggestions for DYK. We can do much better, please submit DYK entries for new articles when you do the initial assessment.

Storm of the month Tropical Storm Olga was a rare Atlantic December tropical cyclone. The fifteenth named storm of the season, it developed near Puerto Rico on December 11, and quickly struck the Dominican Republic. There, it brought heavy rainfall and severe damage, and caused more than 40 deaths. Casualties were also reported in Puerto Rico and Haiti. The storm greatly weakened as it crossed Hispaniola, degenerating into a remnant low pressure area in the Caribbean Sea on December 13. The remnants of Olga passed near the Yucatán Peninsula before turning northward and bringing rainfall to Florida.

Other tropical cyclone activity
 * Three named tropical cyclones occurred in the South-West Indian Ocean, the strongest of which being Moderate Tropical Storm Celina
 * Two named tropical cyclones occurred in the Australian region, including Tropical Cyclone Helen which struck Australia
 * Two named tropical cyclones occurred in the South Pacific ocean, including Tropical Cyclone Elisa which is currently active. Cyclone Daman was the strongest tropical cyclone worldwide during the time period, reaching a pressure of 925 hPa before impacting Fiji.

Member of the month The December member of the month is Mitchazenia. Mitchazenia has been a project member since 2006. He has created several tropical cyclone related articles, including the good article Subtropical Storm One (1982). Mitchazenia significantly contributed to 1983 Atlantic hurricane season, which is currently a featured article candidate.

New and improved articles
 * There were four new pieces of Featured content : 2003 Atlantic hurricane season, Hurricane Danny (1997), Meteorological history of Hurricane Ivan, and List of North Carolina hurricanes (1980-present)
 * New Good articles include:
 * New storm articles include: Cyclone Inigo, Hurricane Ava (1973), Hurricane Marco (1996)
 * New non-storm articles include: Effects of Hurricane Ivan in the Lesser Antilles and South America, Maximum sustained wind, List of North Carolina hurricanes (pre-1900)

 * Entries from 2 articles: Hurricane Rick (1997) and 2006 Central Pacific cyclone appeared on the Main Page in the Did you know column during December and early January.

Storm article statistics Categories and more The project has gone under somewhat of a revamping. We have a new, more realistic goal. The members list has been dropped from 89 to 34. This newsletter is to inform users of a change in policy with categories. Previously, an Atlantic and Pacific storm article would have both Category:Atlantic hurricanes and Category:Category 3 tropical cyclones. However, the two were combined, resulting in Category:Category 3 Atlantic hurricanes. The same is done with Pacific hurricanes. Tropical storm articles are dealt with either Category:Eastern Pacific tropical storms or Category:Atlantic tropical storms.

Storm of the month

Deep Depression ARB 02 caused the 2008 Yemen floods. On October 19 the IMD noted that an area of low pressure which located to the south east of Salalah, Oman had intensifed in to a tropical depression and was assigned the number ARB 02. On October 21 IMD updated the system to a Deep Depression while it lay 700 km south of Salalah, Oman near the east coast of Somalia. It lost its strength while crossing the Gulf of Aden due to entry of dry air and land interaction as it passed close to the northeastern coast of Somalia. It later was downgraded to a Depression, named TC 03B by the JTWC. On October 24 it made landfall on the south-eastern coast of Yemen, leaving at least 26 civilians and six soldiers dead while trapping hundreds of people due to flooding and torrential rainfalls. The latest figure of casualties is of 184 persons dead and 100 others missing, mostly from the region of Hadhramawt, where the storm made landfall. A total of 733 houses were destroyed in the governorates of Hadhramaut and Al Mahrah, while 22,000 people were displaced. The Yemeni Government declared the two aforementioned governorates as disaster zones.

Other tropical cyclone activity


 * Atlantic Ocean– In the Atlantic, four tropical cyclones formed this October. Tropical Storm Marco formed in the Bay of Campeche on October 6. It made landfall on October 8 and is one of the smallest Atlantic tropical cyclones since 1988. Tropical Storm Nana formed October 12 in the middle of the open Atlantic. It had no impact anywhere and dissipated October 14. Hurricane Omar formed October 13 and dissipated October 18. Eventually peaking as a Category 4 hurricane, Omar passed through the Lesser Antilles twice, including once near peak intensity. Fortunately, it caused only one indirect death. Tropical Depression Sixteen formed on October 16 and dissipated two days later after making landfall. It killed 16 to 20 people in Central America.


 * Eastern Pacific Ocean– In the eastern north Pacific, three tropical cyclones formed this October. Hurricane Norbert formed October 3 and dissipated October 12. The strongest storm thus far this season, Norbert is the first hurricane to strike the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula since 1968. Eight deaths have been blamed on the hurricane.. Tropical Storm Odile formed October 8 and paralleled the coast of Mexico before dissipating on October 12. Tropical Depression Seventeen-E formed on October 23 and dissipated the next day without impacting land.


 * Western Pacific Ocean– In the western north Pacific, two tropical cyclones formed. Tropical Storm Bavi formed October 18 in the open Pacific. It never came near land and dissipated three days later. Tropical Depression Twenty Two-W formed on October 13 in the Gulf of Tonkin and made landfall on October 15. It dissipated inland the next day.


 * North Indian– In the northern Indian Ocean, two cyclones formed. Besides Deep Depression ARB 02, which caused flooding that killed 184 people in Yemen, Cyclonic Storm Rashmi formed October 25 and made landfall three days later. It killed two people.


 * South-West Indian – The 2008-09 South West Indian Ocean Season got off to an early start with two pre season zones of disturbed weather. The first zone of disturbed weather formed on October 6 and did not develop any further. Whilst the second zone of disturbed weather formed on October 16 and developed in to Moderate Tropical Storm Asma.

Storm article statistics Project News A discussion concerning sandboxes for next year's articles has begun. Please consider working on sandboxes so they will be ready to publish. As tropical cyclones can form at any time in the western Pacific and northern Indian Oceans, these two season's should be made ready for cyclones by December. Ideally, due to the possibility of pre-season storms, the eastern Pacific and Atlantic seasons should also be ready by then, but they should at least be ready by the northern-Hemisphere antipeak in late February and early March. Seasons for the years 2010 to 2015 should be given the name "Post-2009 {ocean name} {cyclone term} seasons", as in "Post 2009 Atlantic hurricane seasons".

A category for tropical cyclone articles of very-low importance has been introduced. Although discussion is still ongoing, a rating of very-low-importance will generally be given to weak cyclones that do not have impact or set any sort of record.

Editorial This month, our usual editor, Hurricanehink, has been on a semi-wikibreak until further notice. I am filling in as editor and distributor on an interim basis. The newsletter will continue as normal during that time. Thank you. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 00:49, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

"Neater"
Concerning this edit, your "neater equation presentation" seems to have lots and lots of needless complications:
 * $$ACE = {10^{-\!4}} \sum_{}^{} {({v_\mathrm{max}}^{\!2})}$$
 * $$ACE = {10^{-\!4}} \sum_{}^{} {({v_\mathrm{max}}^{\!2})}$$

is coded as follows:
 * ACE = {10^{-\!4}} \sum_{}^{} {({v_\mathrm{max}}^{\!2})}
 * ACE = {10^{-\!4}} \sum_{}^{} {({v_\mathrm{max}}^{\!2})}

Contrast this:
 * $$ \text{ACE} = 10^{-4} = \sum v_\max^2 $$
 * $$ \text{ACE} = 10^{-4} = \sum v_\max^2 $$

coded thus:
 * \text{ACE} = 10^{-4} = \sum v_\max^2
 * \text{ACE} = 10^{-4} = \sum v_\max^2

You've got lots of extra {curly braces} that serve no purpose. Michael Hardy (talk) 11:53, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Tropical cyclone WikiProject newsletter #26
Number 23, June 7 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. This newsletter covers all of April and May 2009.

''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 Cyclone Aila was the second tropical cyclone to form within the Northern Indian Ocean during 2009. The disturbance that was to become Cyclone Aila formed on 21 May 2009 about 950 km to the south of Kolkata, in India. Over the next couple of days the disturbance slowly developed before a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert was issued by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center early on 23 May 2009 and being designated as a depression by RSMC New Delhi. , 330 people have been killed by Aila and at least 8,208 more are missing, while about 1 million are homeless. Health officials in Bangladesh confirmed a deadly outbreak on diarrhea on 29 May, with more than 7,000 people being infected and four dying. In Bangladesh, an estimated 20 million people were at risk of post-disaster diseases due to Aila. Damage totaled $40.7 million (USD).

Other tropical cyclone activity Tropical Depression One was the first tropical cyclone to develop during the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season. The depression formed on May 28, out of a disorganized area of low pressure off the coast of North Carolina. However after attaining its peak strength the depression began to weaken due to increasing wind shear and cooling sea surface temperatures with the final advisory being issued on May 29.
 * North Atlantic
 * 2009 Pacific typhoon season - In the two month period, there were four tropical cyclones, all within a short time period and small area. Tropical Depression Crising moved through the Philippines but didn't develop. Typhoon Kujira formed over the Philippines, causing 29 deaths and almost $30 million in damage, before becoming the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane. While Kujira was active, a tropical depression formed and dissipated over the open ocean, while Typhoon Chan-hom developed and organized in the South China Sea, eventually crossing Luzon and causing 60 deaths and heavy damage.
 * North Indian - Aside from Aila, Cyclone Bijli formed in April, making landfall on Bangladesh and killing 7 people.
 * South Indian– Cyclone Jade was the final Cyclone to form. Jade formed on April 5th from a tropical disturbance it quickly intensifed and bcame a category one tropical cyclone on the SSHS before making its first of three landfalls on Madagascar. Jade then dissipated on April 11 after causing fifteen deaths.
 * Australian Region - Cyclone Kirrly formed on April 25 in the Arafura Sea to the north of Australia within 5 degrees of the equator which is an unusual area of formation. It quickly reached its peak before making landfall on eastern Indonesia.
 * South Pacific - As the last newsletter was published Tropical Cyclone Lin was just devloping as Tropical depression 14F. Lin eventually went on to affect Fiji and Tonga causing at least $1000 worth of damage. Tropical Disturbance 15F also formed this month within the Solomon Islands. It moved eventually moved into the Australian Region but was not monitored by TCWC Brisbane as anything higher than an area of low pressure.

Member of the month The member of the month is Jason Rees, who joined Wikipedia in 2007, and has written nine tropical cyclone GA's. Jason primarily focuses on Southern Hemisphere storms, as well as the Western Pacific. He has plans for featured topics for several seasons, but for now, he is a regular member of the project who adds his input in discussions on the talk page. We thank Jason for his work, and we look forward to more articles!

Storm article statistics Project News There is debate as usual with regards to notability, as well as the status of the project in general, but nothing new is going on.

During the last week, some editors have organized a page &mdash; WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Viewed stats &mdash; that has a listing of monthly page views within the project. It is under construction, although it is complete for all Eastern Pacific tropical cyclones, as well as all Atlantic tropical cyclones from 1979 to the present. Interestingly, the top 6 viewed EPAC articles are all featured, and all of the top 16 in the basin are GA's. Unfortunately, the Atlantic, at least from 1979 to the present, is much worse, despite being viewed much, much more. The top eight-viewed Atlantic articles all are viewed more than 10,000 times per month, for a total of 363889 views per month, but only two of them are featured, and none of the others are GA. As always, any help in the retired storms would be greatly appreciated.

Somewhat tying into the bettering of project articles, the basin article challenge is still ongoing. Hurricanehink is currently in the lead with a GA in 2 basins. Cyclonebiskit is in 2nd, with one GA in the EPAC. The challenge is still open to anyone, and it is not so much a race, rather a challenge just to get a fairly important GA in each basin.

EditCountBot
Hello! I recently created a village pump proposal and request for bot approval for a bot that automatically updates editcounts for use in userboxes, templates and such. We are currently discussing the benefits and drawbacks of such a bot, as well as various different ways in which it could be implemented. Since you are a member of WikiProject edit counter I thought you may be interested in participating, your input at the discussions would be very welcome. - <font color="#21421E" face="Harrington">EdoDodo talk 07:58, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Revision to Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri articles
I noticed that you have revised either Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri or Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire.

I intend to revise those articles following the WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. There are more details on the discussion pages of those articles. I'd be interested in any comments you have. It would be best if your comments were on the discussion pages of the two articles.

Thank you.

Korea, skepticism re: hydrogen bomb
I see that User: AySz88 added more specifics about the skepticism to the lede with new citations. OK, although now, I am not so sure that is necessary. After renaming a section to include the word skepticism, I wonder if perhaps most of the commentary about skepticism should actually be moved to that section.

November 2023
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Principles of art, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. ''I don't even know where to start: the very content is nonsense. "The principles of visual art are the rules, tools and/or guidelines that artists use to organize the elements of art in an artwork. When successfully combined with the elements of art they aid in creating an aesthetically pleasing or interesting work of art." -- That first sentence applies only to visual art, and the second sentence...well, I don't know. Whoever says that art has to be aesthetically pleasing is not an artist or an art historian.'' Drmies (talk) 13:37, 10 November 2023 (UTC)


 * FYI I posted something to the article's talk page trying to start the process of addressing your concerns, arguing that a non-BLAR state provides a better point from which to do so. (I did not intend to address it all simultaneously in one edit, especially as it would mix a revert with subsequent somewhat-unrelated edits, which is discouraged if my memory of wikiquette is still correct.)
 * To address what you bring up here, I don't believe I'm the direct author of those sentences, but your first observation can be easily clarified. The complaint of the second sentence is entirely from interpretation; there is no claim there saying art should or must be aesthetically pleasing - just that art which adheres to the principles are such. It can also be copyedited to be more precise on that point.
 * In any case this may be moot given I've now seen similar and better content to redirect to, or merge or split from.—AySz88\<font color="#FF9966">^ <font color="#FF6633">- <font color="#FF3300">^ 14:51, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Custom signature fix needed
Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. Changes to Wikipedia's software have made your current custom signature invalid.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error or obsolete HTML tags.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, you can fix your signature, or you can do nothing.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default: Solution 2: Fix your custom signature: Solution 3: Do nothing:
 * 1) Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * 2) Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * 3) Remove anything in the  text box.
 * 4) Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page.  (Do not click the red "" button, which will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
 * 1) Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * 2) Click the  button next to the error to learn how to fix the error.
 * 3) Update your signature to fix the error.
 * 4) Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.
 * 1) In accordance with a recent request for comment, all invalid signatures will be changed to the default, which looks like "Example (talk)", one month from now. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:05, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
