Thanks for the heads-up. I so rarely worry about that kind of thing when dealing with blatantly unhelpful editors, and it'd be a shame to have to block myself. Incidentally, if you're only concern is "unwarned users need to be warned before a 3RR block", nobody there needs to be warned. We should all know better. Cheers, Wily D 20:19, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Old Road Atlas
Sure, please send me an email about Dec 18th. Just to be sure I don't forget. I don't remember much about the Atlas, only that it was published by the National Geographic Society and was leather bound and is sitting at my parents house _somewhere_. It's not as detailed as modern road atlases, but then there were a lot less roads then =-) It's a big atlas, but most of its size is indexes. Hopefully I can find it and can scan whatever pages you want. I have to ask, lots of roadgeeks in PA? most of the articles for PA are already in good shape. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one still working on content for NV, UT, CO and AZ articles. Lots of people fixing and flagging my mess ups, but not many actually writing articles =-)Davemeistermoab (talk) 00:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Merge guidelines
With all due respect (honestly - I know it was good faith), I would like to suggest to you that if you're not prepared to do a merge properly, you should just put merge tags on the articles and let someone else do it who is prepared to properly merge. In merely (quiz show) overtop of (game show), you did not copy information from the (game show) article that was missing in the (quiz show) article. Hence the term "merge" (the most obvious example of this is the infobox which you blanked several fields in copying the new infobox over the old one. Thanks TheHYPO (talk) 01:33, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Old Atlas
Hey, You had asked me if I could scan the Pennsylvania section of an "1930's era" atlas that my parents had. Well I did get the atlas when I went to visit them for Christmas. Unfortunately, That "1930's era atlas" is actually the National Geographic Road Atlas for 1960. So my memory failed and its not the atlas I though they had.

Requests for arbitration/Highways 2
This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. No formal enforcement measures are being proposed at this time, in light of the hope that editors will act of their own volition and take with them a more in-depth understanding of the issues, principles, and the disputes themselves, for future benefit and to avoid the need for more formal responses; in particular, all members of WikiProject U.S. Roads are advised that when asserting the existence of a prior consensus, it is necessary to refer to prior discussions or debates on Wikipedia where that consensus has been established.

Kyarichy has already gone and renamed a bunch of articles such as as Kalkara citing these changes from an old obsolete paper and http://www.geody.com, even though these names are no longer in use.

The naming conventions clearly state that foreign location names commonly used in English should be used as the article names.

My user news and USRD
Thanks! I figured it's a good way to keep people updated on my status. Also, as you can see, I try to be creative/clever with the icons. Unfortunately it looks like the NYSR thing is already out of date though, as the discussion is apparently over. Just like in past discussions on this, the call was made for USRD to reform but it fell on deaf ears. The pro-centralized members would rather just stop replying and keep the status quo. It's unfortunate that they want to keep things this way, I'm seeing a striking parallel between USRD and Esperanza, another large group that grew into a bureaucracy.

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.

Category:Main pages with misplaced talk page templates
Greetings. I was hoping you might consider editing both User:Son/State Route task force/SR template and User:Son/WP:HyP Project Page as they currently transclude templates that should only exist on talk pages, causing the pages themselves to be included in Category:Main pages with misplaced talk page templates. After months of cleanup, I have nearly emptied this category. As you have edited Wikipedia within the last 30 days, I have not edited said pages themselves, hoping that you might consider doing so. Thank you! JPG-GR (talk) 20:13, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

List of DirecTV channels
In regards to the SD / HD simulcasted channels, I just like the old way better but I'll stop reverting to avoid an edit war. There's been a lot of vandalism on this page recently. People have been changing names of channels into ones that don't exist, deleting channels that are still there, putting false names on channels, moving channels to where they aren't really, etc. I got it semi-protected for a week and I asked an admin to semi-protect it indefinitely because it still happening, especially by anonymous editors. I personally think anonymous editors shouldn't even be allowed because a lot of them only vandalize and don't make constructive, helpful edits.TomCat4680 (talk) 12:22, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Heyy. I don't know how to put images into a wikipedia article. Can you put this graph into my article US Cable News under the section "ratings":
