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.

Hi
Bad Bill Tucker pointed you out to me. There is a huge hole in Wikipedia articles related to Mental Health, but not necessarily psychology. These are from more of a peer perspective. Would you be interested in Wikiproject Mental Health if I started it? Thanks for your response, NinaOdell | Talk 04:16, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem! The occasional assessment or comment would be grand.:)NinaOdell | Talk 17:23, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Concert
Hey!!! Sorry dude my parents bought the wrong tickets :( They got them as a bday present so I didn't get to choose which concert so I'm goin 2 the 1 in Harvard. Have a fun time though! Mcr616 20:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Cool. I wish my little bro was eleven so he'd be closer to me in age (I'm 13). It's kinda boring having 2 sit arround with him and play like Candy Land all the time lol Mcr616 21:03, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Ya sure! Mcr616 21:05, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey idk if you got the email but what you can do to maybe get backstage passes for the concert is just sign up for the MCRmy (just takes like 12 seconds) and then after you're signed up you send an email to BlackParadeTour@gmail.com and tell them which concert you're goin 2. If you want the link for the MCRmy just leave 1 on my talk page and I'll get back to you. Have a nice day :) Mcr616 23:04, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
