Re: Dean photo
It's a really nice picture, indeed. However, considering how strict the FPC reviewers are, I'm not sure about its feature potential. The whole picture is slightly blurry, and the eye isn't really clear. I can't by any stretch of the imagination call myself an image expert, though, so you might want to take it to Picture peer review. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  15:37, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Articles re.
Sure, I'm just running wayyy behind schedule with these articles. Don't mind Evan, I can write a longer article quite well, i.e. Hurricane Hernan (2008) (check the edit history to verify). I'll add it to the list and notify you when I can work on it. Sorry that it will take a while to complete. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 14:00, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I will probly do it. Yellow Evan (talk) 14:02, 2 November 2008
 * I'm not sure. I can't answer for him but a note to Evan, please read up on policies and practice typing a bit more before working on a large article. It's very time consuming and needs a lot of attention. I can tell you're starting to get better at typing but If you want to work on an article, work on a small one first, then work your way up. Dylan620- I'm going to try and get one of your requested articles done today, to take a break from Hurricane Ele (2002), so I can try and get back into my editing spree. Ele has been a bit frustrating due to the lack of public advisories and what not but the three you've requested should have discussions for each advisory.

Re: Adminship
I've never really thought about it, so I doubt I'd nominate myself. It seems clear to me that it will, (to mutate a snowclone) accumulate enemies at twice the rate of friends. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 16:44, 2 November 2008 (UTC)


 * From the article: "A snowclone is a type of cliché and phrasal template originally defined as 'a multi-use, customizable, instantly recognizable, time-worn, quoted or misquoted phrase or sentence that can be used in an entirely open array of different jokey variants by lazy journalists and writers.'" My snowclone is "X Y's at twice the rate of Z". Mutating it is inserting something into the slots for X, Y, and Z, as in (to use another example): Bills(X) travel through the mail(Y) at twice the rate of cheques(Z). Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 17:17, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, I'd say you have a very good chance at passing RfA, especially with all the recognized content you've aquired. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  17:19, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

GA tutorial re.
Haha, I wouldn't think of myself as someone who is able to teach how to write, since I'm not a great writer myself. However, since you're working to become an admin, I'll definitely do what I can to help you out :) Since I'm going to be at school until 3pm and other random stuff then going with my parents to vote, I'll most likely be home late today. But, if you can give me a guideline of things you would like to learn/how to improve, I'll work on that throughout the day and then work with you on creating the articles either tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:55, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 14:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks :) I'll edit the Olaf article in a step by step process. Each step will be a different edit and I'll save it at that point. Once the article is completed, I'll created a GA tutorial page for you and lay out the steps with the directions for each one. I'll exclude the impact for now since It's not needed for Hurricane Marie. Hopefully I can get this done soon so I don't just leave you hanging. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 16:24, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

2005 Pacific hurricane season
I just saw on your userpage that you said you would like to help out with the FTC for the 2005 EPac season, I'd be glad to have you help out. I'm taking a little break from the main page right now to work on the subarticles (individual storms), so if you want to, you could work on the main page for it. But, I'm not restraining you from making a subarticle if you want to make one. Thanks for offering the help :) Cyclonebiskit (talk) 16:07, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Gene
I dealt with your comments about Gene last night and published it with Hink's help. you might want to take another look at it and see wat you think. Jason Rees (talk) 00:26, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * yeah i saw that when i came on this afternoon. I look forward to working with you to get Gene to GA Jason Rees (talk) 13:16, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah i know i saw it at the time - BTW where do you stand on Knots, Mph and Km/h?Jason Rees (talk) 13:57, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I dont mind that system for storms in NHC/CPHC AOR as there products do you use Mph/Km/h but for storms in JMA, NADI and BOM's AOR i prefer using knots (mph/kmh) because they use knots. Jason Rees (talk) 14:14, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Barnstar
I never thanked you for the kind words you gave me, so thanks! I really love how the WPTC community has been developing, and I hope we have a great generation of writers coming up. Good luck with your adminship studies (I wouldn't have been a good coach anyway!). BTW, I have no desire to get Kate 03 featured. I am perfectly content with it as an A-class article, as there is nothing I would get out of it being an FA. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 07:03, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I can probably help out. I think the best thing to do is look at the featured articles, and compare articles to them. Remember, articles are the sum of two halves. One half of the good/featured article is the writing. If you cannot identify typos and poor writing (as well as poor formatting, such as with fullstops and commas), then you need to do some reading up on them. If you are in school, then pay attention to your writing/English/grammar classes. The writing is such a crucial aspect. One easy way to fix up your writing is to use the spell-check feature in your internet browser. I use Firefox, which automatically underlines words that are misspelled. If you don't have the feature, I suggest you consider getting it.
 * As I said, the articles are the sum of two halves. The other half, which is just as important, is the content, the raw facts, the research. For a tropical cyclone article, you need to know all of the details on the storm. For the met. history, you need the origins, how it strengthened, how it moved, landfalls, how it weakened, etc. Ideally and perhaps what is needed, an outsider should be able to read a met. history and know exactly what happened with a storm. For the impact, it's the same scenario. It's not just important that the storm caused rains, winds, and surge. It's important to know what each aspect did, in every single known place that the storm affected. It's a lot of work to make a good tropical cyclone article (for ones that affected land, at least).
 * No, I've never admin-coached anyone, and I'm hardly the ideal admin candidate - I got in for my writing! However, while you are getting instructed, maybe you could ask Juliancolton for some tips, as well, since he has written a good share of articles. Cheers. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 06:07, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Timeline re.
With timelines, the best source is the TCR, it has all the 6 hourly advisories and the landfalls in one document. Look at the references for the 2003 timeline, most are TCR's. I'll type the 2002 one as the tutorial but they take a bit of time and definitely patience. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 20:49, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry I haven't worked on the timeline tutorial. I sorta forgot...Since you've already started working on the 2001 timeline, the best way to learn how to make on is mirror the 2003 through 2007 timelines (all of which are featured). Following the same structure of those is a good way to ensure you're creating the article correctly. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 20:29, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: School
That's fine, I haven't been able to keep up with much either lately, so no worries. As for your coaching, I've read your answers to those questions, so now I have a better idea of your activity. What would you like to focus on next as part of your coaching? I apologize for the disorganization of my coaching program; you're my first student!

Good luck with your 2001 AHS timeline. Those can take quite a bit of work, but it's always rewarding to look at the finished product, hopefully with a at the top. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  20:05, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

2001 AHS Timeline
Jsut to let you know - I edited your sandbox timeline on the 2001 AHS earlier. As for some strange reason the timeline that Elena made up for your sandbox is showing the text, but none of the current season timelines are showing up bar the 2008-09 SWIO. When i changed one of the storm names from Alsion to 01W, the text wouldnt show. Jason Rees (talk) 18:27, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Comments
Yeah i saw that you had written the timeline of the 2001 AHS - it looks good and ive supported it, THough make sure you take heed of my comments above because you dont want to bat away comments on the bugzilla problem. - (Myself and Julian supported Cyclone biskit and batted some comments away earlier in 1983 FLC)


 * To be honest im not surprised you struggelled reviewing Gene because i had problems writing it lol especially as most of the TCWC Wellington warnings are not archived. This is a problem i am going to have to overcome this season when we get going within the SPAC which shouldnt be too long now, esspecially as we are now active in the SWIO and the AUS basin.

 * I think i will wait to do Rananim and instead try and get some of the 2008 Pacific typhoon season articles up to at least a B class if not GA if i can. why dont you take a look and see weather there are any you think will be able to pass GA this side of Christmass?

Did I come across too strong?
I noticed your user page expresses your disappointment at the opposition to the Timeline of the 2001 Atlantic hurricane season FLC. I hope that my page about opposition based on the bug didn't upset you too much. I by no means meant to discourage you, and your contributions are very valuable to the project. I agree that the bug is not your fault but now Cyclonebiskit seems to have found an image solution which will satisfy everyone. With a similar image I'm sure the timeline will get the recognition it deserves. Hope to see you at FLC again soon!

Don't get too down with the 2001 Timeline, Rambo and I have fixed the whole image issue so once GimmieBot does its run in 25 hours or so, you can renominate it.
