Is this a FLC candidate? List of ODI Awards for Sachin Tendulkar
I created this list that includes the entire list of ODI Man of the Match and Man of the series awards of Sachin Tendulkar in his career. Do you think this meets the criteria as a FLC candidate. Pls let me know. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vimalkalyan (talk • contribs) 18:37, 11 May 2007 (UTC).


 * It was such a coincidence that i found your changes to Tendulkar's article just after i left a message here. On the tendulkar's ODI awards, i bounced the idea in WP:CRIC and the consensus was that most of them did not want to see this as FL1. I shall start working towards making Tendulkar's wikipage into FA soon and after that revisit if this can go to FL. Kalyan 21:38, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

FLC - Indian national cricket captains
Hi., I have made extensive changes to the above mentioned article and nominated for FLC again. This is an article that you recommended for FFL sometime back. I would like to request your review of the FLC for the comments made earlier. also, thre is no information on U-19 international women's tours and tournament. If they happen, they don't get captured. Please note that most of the captains' list lacks the U-19 women's data. In case of any questions, please revert back to me on my talk page. Click here for the FLC discussion page.

Image:Hurricane roslyn (1992).JPG
Hi! I came across this Image:Hurricane roslyn (1992).JPG in the "Incomplete deletion requests" on Commons. You stated that it had a typo in the name - is there a file with the correct name so that can be used? Thanks and regards, Deadstar 10:34, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

SVG Files
This is going to sound like an incredibly stupid question, but is there a comprehensive, centralized repository of Wikipedia .svg files? I've been looking for the list so that I can personalize my Talk page with the standardized icons, but have thus far come up short. Any help you could provide on this matter would be greatly appreciated. --Nonstopdrivel 19:17, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: Archive
The problem with that is several of them are copyrighted and I don't know where I got many others. They're all saved in Word documents subdivided by season. The older ones (pre-1995) come almost exclusively from GIBBS and that is public domain. If you don't have them, I guess I could get those for you. -- § Hurricane E  RIC  archive 18:53, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I also went and found a better picture of Knut - but it doesn't look too good. Here you go, I'd do it myself, but my computer lost all its data and Photoshop, so I can't currently. Mit ch contribs 22:38, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Featured list removal
Hi there. I see you closed Featured list removal candidates/Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc as "removed". I was wondering if you saw the comment in the discussion about how long I would have to fix it? The reply was: "If it's posible to fix this list in 5-7 days, then go ahead. As long as we see some progress during this nomination, it can stay." - but it was closed a day later. I'm confused now. If I do some work on the list in the next few days, will it have to be resubmitted for featured article status, or can the review be re-opened? Carcharoth 11:40, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Is there a template for that? I think I will have to add a section about what to do when a nomination is closed, because it is quite complex. Circeus 03:24, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Featured List of the Day Experiment
I am contacting individuals in the order of the number of featured lists that they had created by Novemeber 10, 2007. You are among those who have created the most. So you are among the first. There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 16:55, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

LOTD under way
Thanks for submitting a list to WP:LOTD. January nominations are closed and February nominations are open. The January nominee commenting has begun. Feel free to participate in the commentary.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 16:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for nominating a candidate at WP:LOTD. You may want to come by and address some of the feedback you have received before voting begins, which it will in less than 24 hours.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 00:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

List of Pacific hurricanes
Nice work there lately. I personally think the existing content would've worked better at List of notable Pacific hurricanes. Do you think an article should be created on List of Pacific hurricane records, which would include all of your recent additions and other records? Perhaps even more easily, do you think the current article should be moved there? Hurricanehink ( talk ) 00:21, 9 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Sweet, keep up the good work, and that makes sense keeping a similarity between Atlantic and EPAC. Also, I just realized I was thinking about List of tropical cyclone records, which is a short page, but has great potential for a great core article. My problem with the List of notable tropical cyclone articles is that every time we re-insert the word "notable", someone outside of the project removes it. I don't know - I just figured I'd ask your opinion on it. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you
I just wanted to thank you for your edit that expanded the introduction on list of circulating currencies. I always felt that the list lacked something and the image and basic explanation you added really improved the article. By the way, it’s nice to see a fellow high schooler editing (not vandalizing) Wikipedia. – Zntrip 01:48, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

LOTD congratulations
Congratulations!!! List of circulating currencies has been chosen in the inaugural class of January 2008 LOTDs. I hope you will continue to participate in the WP:LOTD process. If you have a date preference get back to me by the end of 2007-12-23 UTC.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 06:39, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Sandbox Articles and Publishing
I wanted to say thanks for the info! It'll help me out the next time I get ready for publishing. Fortunately, the edit history for my Rick sandbox consists of only two accounts editting it (me and an anon. that was also me), so the damage from that was lighter. However, I will take it to mind.

US hurricane landfall patterns
Ten major hurricanes have hit the United States since the so-called active period began in 1995, but only 3 of those came before 2004 (Opal, Fran, and Bret) and none of those were any stronger than 100 knots. '04-'05 was perhaps the most remarkable spike in ferocity the Atlantic has seen in recorded history. In just two seasons, the US was clobbered by seven major hurricanes (Charley, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Katrina, Rita and Wilma) whose wind speeds read as follows (in knots): 130, 105, 105, 105, 115*, 100 and 105. Also remarkable, however, is the absolute onslaught Florida endured between 1921 and 1950. In that time, 27 hurricanes either hit Florida or passed close enough to bring hurricane-force winds to the coast, by my analysis of the Best Track data. Those hurricanes caused (very conservatively) $405.1 million in uninflated damage and killed at least 3,362 people in the state alone (not counting elsewhere). It's amazing how Florida kept functioning. *-I bumped Katrina up since the report said that when the eyewall first hit shore, winds were 115.

In the 1950's the hurricane gods found a new state: North Carolina. They got hit by eight of them between 1953 and 1960. In the 1960's it was predominantly the Gulf Coast that was getting hit and more of the same in the '70s, but with more affecting the East Coast. That trend carried on throughout the '80's; mostly Gulf Coast with a little Eastern Seaboard action. In the '90s, there started to be a shift back toward the east coast, away from the Gulf. North Carolina started getting hit again and that didn't really end until Hurricane Alex in 2004. Some might say it hasn't yet. The recent trend has been southward to the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. 2005 and this year put an exclamation point on that. Ah, I love talking 'canes. -- § Hurricane E  RIC  archive 02:08, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
