DYK
(RattleMan's Note: See here for the DYK as it appeared on May 1st.)

Re:Disaster has struck
Whew! Really, Thanx. I'll tell hink. I think hes talkin to the guys there, via e-mail.  →Cyclone 1→  05:28, 6 May 2006 (UTC)


 * That's different. Earlier last night, no individual links were working. I went through some of the uploaded images and the link directly to where I got them from, and none of them worked. Thanks for the update. Hurricanehink 12:57, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:Infobox President
Hi RattleMan,

I replied on my talk page. Thanks for the fix. -- Gennaro Prota &thinsp;(talk) 11:00, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

2006 Pacific hurricanes
It was me (logged out at school) you reverted at the 2006 Pacific hurricane season article. IIRC, the Pacific season ended at midnight Pacific time last year, so shouldn't it therefore start at midnight Pacific time too? NSL E (T+C) at 09:49 UTC (2006-05-15)

Random userpage stuff
Yeah, that article was what I was thinking of, and thanks for the suggestion to link to the previous version; I didn't think of that. Happy editing! --AySz88 ^ -  ^  19:50, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm impressed
My how word gets around around here. I just took a little break. I left a long winded update on Hink's talk page, you might want to read it. I was actually just passing through an saw a typo. I didn't know we had someone behind the cameras, so to speak. How have things been? -- §  Hurricane  E  RIC  §Damages archive 02:21, 22 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it's in Georgia. Thanks. -- §  Hurricane  E  RIC  §Damages archive 03:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

PYL edit
Sorry about that. I didnt know if that should of been deleted or not. If I see something that I think is questionable or trolling, ill go to a mod. PYLrulz 10:24, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

3RR
Reverting simple vandalism does not count towards 3RR, however if you need the article s-protected, ask. NSL E (T+C) at 01:00 UTC (2006-05-25)

Caption cleanup
Hey Rattle, I noticed we both were stuck cleaning up the mess of User:69.118.94.155, who removed the captions from all the lead image in both dozens of Nintendo and Sonic articles. Since some articles have had this done twice, I reccommend automatic addition to WP:AIV to save every sometime. Cheers, H ig hway Rainbow Sneakers 23:42, 25 May 2006 (UTC)


 * There isn't any point really, the last time I nominated a user, the nom was knocked back because they hadn't vandalized in 4 hours or something obscure. If we does it once again notify me and I'll put him straight up. H ig hway Rainbow Sneakers 00:05, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Vandal
The vandal on your our userpages was blocked. D G X  07:31, 28 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I think he's trying some misconstrued revenge against all of us, he did the same thing to my talk page, user page and Esperanza. Blocked now, H ig hway Rainbow Sneakers 08:17, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for reverting vandalism on my userpage. :) --  Shizane talkcontribs 07:42, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I suppose they were angry I reverted one of their vandalism edits back on May 12th and left them a warning. It seemed like they went on quite the userpage vandalizing spree. I notice he got you and a few others too. --  Shizane talkcontribs 07:52, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Oracledelphius.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Oracledelphius.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 23:08, 28 May 2006 (UTC)


 * How silly of me, I forgot to put the license tag! -- RattleMan 23:37, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: "A set of screenshots"
I'm just looking for a visual overview of SM, perhaps with screenshots of two or three major events in the anime. Denelson83  06:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Let's see...
 * From episode #46-ja: The group shot of the Senshi with Princess Serenity in the middle
 * A portrait shot of Queen Beryl
 * From episode #31-en: A two-shot of Serenity giving Endymion her musical locket
 * From episode #201-ja: The end shot of #1's transformation sequence


 * Please note that in the Japanese television versions, any episode number from 1 to 200 refers to the anime, with 201 to 249 referring to the live-action adaptation. --  Denelson83  15:21, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

CHANGE IT!!
Currently Nicktoons network is NOT BRODCASTING THE WILD THORNBERRYS!!! Or some other shows like Catscratch that is on the Nicktoons network page. It is FALSE INFO! THIS IS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.191.206.134 (talk • contribs)


 * I'm not the one who did that. Some other person did that and I tried to fix it, but he kept changing it back. When leaving a message on a talkpage, please use ~ to sign your IP and timestamp. Also, please don't type in all-caps. Thanks! -- RattleMan 22:01, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #1

 * (RattleMan's note: The newsletter was removed due to it breaking the format of my custom talkpage. See below for a link to the actual newletter.)

Sure, I'll test it out... Change to the second option on the list?--Nilfanion (talk) 00:09, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
 * At this time the link is The newsletter page (the archive is the source but the current issue is what you received) - the first one is getting spammed to maximize publicity - with any luck will figure out why the format breaks custom talk pages... (I KNEW there would be some teething probs lol).--Nilfanion (talk) 00:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Just so you know, I managed to sort out the newsletters formatting so it works not on your talk page (I forgot to close a div...)--Nilfanion (talk) 08:39, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for saying that :)--Nilfanion (talk) 09:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Miscellanea
Just a thing I'm doing. However there have been some discssions at Trivia. Rich Farmbrough 14:08 8 June 2006 (UTC).

Other subpage
Could you clean up your test subpage please? It shouldn't be in the categories really.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:45, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah it doesn't really matter that much, it just seems a little odd.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:59, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, the image for TD10 does not appear for me, but the one for TD19 does, as well as the images in 2006 Pacific hurricane season. There's been some site-wide issues related to thumbnails from Commons, and I've asked about it at WP:VPT, so I believe it is short-term only. Tito xd (?!?) 04:23, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * As the old thumbnails are still in cache, it should have solved the problem. Reuploading as JPG could help too, but it would decrease the quality of the images. At the same time, Tim Starling is working on it, so it might be unnecessary after all. Not sure. Tito xd (?!?) 04:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

They've killed the List of famous failures in science and engineering! You Bastards!!
Mmx1 is taking the fight that I have over the F-14 and F-111 to the failure page, and he has nominated them for deletion. The wiki-thugs are all voting to delete the page. Mmx1 has reversed the F-14 page to state that it is not, and has never been designed as a maneuverable air superiority fighter, and is not accepting any contrary citations up to and including a F-14 test pilot, Janes Defence, and Aviation Week. He is apparently taking revenge against other pages. Please go to the deletion page and tell the administrators what is going on. Look at the patterns of MMx. He regular accuses others of gross misinformation and summarily reverts most edits as a self-appointed judge of all truth, but in fact should not be allowed this leeway. --matador300 11:01, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello
Hello from a "newbie", could you please enable your email? I'd like to email you something. Chacor 14:22, 9 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I give you my word that it's nothing malicious. I've already emailed two others the same thing. It's a piece of information, that I cannot give out here. Chacor 14:30, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Re:Typhoon Ewiniar and activity
Okay I get the point. So it is still active. All right. Alastor Moody (talk) 01:53, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Bud and Carlotta
Well when I looked at the satellite images from weather.com, I discovered that Bud and Carlotta was so near to eachother that what if they merged togehter? Well the NRL and the NHC dosen't mention anything about it. What is your idea? Alastor Moody (talk)09:14, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

2006 Long Island Sound Plane Crash
Help!, other useres are trying to delete my article but I objected saying that the plane crash is notable. Please vote keep on the vote page in order to save this article.Storm05 16:15, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Sure, no problem. I saw that and  were right next to each other, and they had almost the same width, so I just put them together. Let's see how that goes. Tito xd (?!?) 04:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Global map
I uploaded a lower resolution image to Image:Global tropical cyclone tracks.jpg as it still needs a bit more work done (see the talk on the project page). That also gives you the change to get your image...--Nilfanion (talk) 09:12, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment on Tullece
I changed the titles to the English translations as you suggested, since that's policy where available. This way, readers won't confuse the dub title for the actual translation, so it probably works out even better. Voice of Treason 07:48, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

O-TOWN'S AT
HOW THE HELL CAN YOU SAY THAT, LOL. I really do think my version of Alex is better. Now for a brief second will you leave my version there until hink can decide (he is the only person that has taken the time to write back to me so let him decide) if my version sucks or not. Also, your literate enough to help me sign up on your special project for hurricanes. Hink invited me so now i need help actually becoming an active member. —Preceding unsigned comment added by O-TOWN'S AT (talk • contribs)

Did you do what i think u did???!!!
I got bored so i went back and read my article cause hink said it wasn't that good. When I write i use words that no one else uses and holy hell, you collaborated both aricles!! That makes Tropical Storm Alex my first official "accepted" contribution to wikiworld. Thank you.

Pro-Life DC picture
Rattleman, I'm just curious. Do you know if the activists you photographed were affiliated with a group, and if so, what group? I think I know one of them. Again, just curious. Secos5 05:39, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

2006 AHS accidental revert
Sorry about the revert - I was refreshing the page because of the database crash (because of Stephen Colbert) and didn't realize an edit went through anyway. —AySz88\ ^ - ^ 05:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Season3pan.jpg
(Note by RattleMan: I had recently re-uploaded this image, which had some slight corruption. On June 21, an anonymous vandal removed the copyright status from the image, and OrphanBot (OB) didn't check it. When I reuploaded it, it must have automatically been tagged by OB to be checked, and this is what happened. I know this seems trivial to note this, but I just want to 'clear my name' for anyone reading this.)

Thanks for uploading Image:Season3pan.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated.

Image tagging for Image:Dtails.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Dtails.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

hmm....
You just reverted my changes on the article on Super Sonic. Why? I noticed the broken image; I thought it just wasn't fully uploaded or something.

And you said I changed a big detail. What, exactly? The only time he is seen without pupils is during the about 1-second timeframe during which the screenshot currently there was taken. The rest of the time he's Dark Sonic, his eyes stay green. And I mentioned that. Where did I go wrong? —Preceding unsigned comment added by SonicXfreak (talk • contribs)

2006 Atlantic hurricane talk page
Why the change, we had not done it in the previous three storms this year. The NRL puts it up there based on what the NHC tells them, so they are not independent events, the NRL just posts it on their site before the official advisory is up from the NHC. --Holderca1 20:55, 25 August 2006 (UTC)


 * It doesn't bother me either way, it just messes up the ToC since there are two sections named the same thing, for example, if you wanted to go to the second 04.Debby, it takes you to the first one. --Holderca1 21:09, 25 August 2006 (UTC)


 * It doesn't work on mine, takes me to the first one regardless of the case of the letters. --Holderca1 21:16, 25 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay, I just fixed it, if they are both identical, it does take you to the one you want to go to. --Holderca1 21:19, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:DianaSM.jpg
(RattleMan's Note: Grrr, I have no idea how these two images (see below) got left with no copyright info...something must have happened, I don't know, because I specifically remember doing these correctly...Also, why is an IP going around notifying people of missing images? It should be a full account...and why is it only doing this to Sailor Moon images...?)

Thanks for uploading Image:DianaSM.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 60.53.1.182 13:37, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

My hard drive
It crashed in early June. It had been making some weird clicking noises and then one day we got the Blue Screen of Death and the computer wouldn't turn on. We took it to Geek Squad and they basically said our C drive was fried. They gave us a new hard drive and reloaded all the programs. It's working fine now. We had everything from late December, 2005 on back backed up, but I still lost three quarters of my hurricane database and the quarter that I have is not at all up to date. A computer geek at my Dad's office says he might be able to get the data off so we left the old hard drive with him. We still waiting to hear back from him. I'm also missing the font "Chiller" which I used for a couple of my earlier documents, that's a big annoyance. Another thing I'm missing is a Windows Photo Editor that I used to crop all of my GIBBS pictures. I would crop them to a certain size and I would resize them to a specific point in Microsoft Word and the image would be sharper than any other size. I try to use Photoshop now and all the pictures come out blurry, no matter how much I resize them. Those losses are the only ones that have caused me frustration. I've been able to deal without my hurricane files, but I can't tell you how much I would like them back soon. Thanks for your offer, but it's all history now. -- § Hurricane E  RIC § archive 22:14, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
