Infobox hurricane current and other basins
Is there any way to get Infobox hurricane current to work for other basins and their relevant terminology? There have been cases of users adding incorrect or non-working infoboxes to season articles that the template doesn't yet work for, such as the NIO. I'd do it myself but I'm not sure how to navigate the code (templates have never been my forte). --Core desat 22:47, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * To be honest, those templates have changed so much that I have no idea how they work anymore... I may try hacking it, but it really depends on how much spare time I have (and it doesn't seem to be much, at least for the foreseeable future).

List of basic meteorology topics
Hi. The list is formatted like a List of topics, not at all like a List of basic topics. E.g. see List of basic biology topics vs List of biology topics. I'd suggest moving it back to the previous title, and reincluding the deleted information. See WikiProject Lists of topics vs WikiProject Lists of basic topics for details, or ask The Transhumanist. Thanks. --Quiddity (talk) 00:38, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi. The problem with that page is that it is excessively broad; the list, before I started chopping off stuff, included pages related to earthquakes and aviation which are not necessarily tied to meteorology. So, I was going to simply chop off the old page, and then refactor it to fit the basic topic format. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 16:35, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ahh, my mistake about the deletions then. Ignore that part :)
 * I was essentially just wanting to point out the difference between the more alphabetical/comprehensive "list of topics" format, and the cheatsheet/reference-card "list of basic topics" format, in case you weren't already aware of them both. Do what thy will :)
 * I actually have a much larger write-up about the list/index problem, that I'll post at the pump sometime soon. I'll leave you a note here, when I do. -- Quiddity (talk) 19:21, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Unexplained article move
Hi, Tito; I need to bring this to someone who understands the issue in Spanish. By moving it from the question mark to the explanation point (contrary to sources and with no discussion), the article is now POV, implying that the king demanded rather than asked (that it was an imperative rather than a query). All of the sources I have seen use a question mark, and since I'm not an admin, I can't move it back. I'm also not sure if I can post a request at Requested moves, since I don't know if CieloEstrellado will challenge. I'll also post to Jossi, since he speaks Spanish. Saludos, Sandy Georgia (Talk) 15:45, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks (and the grammar lesson helped as well :-) Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 16:15, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 *  The reason behind it is to make little kids in elementary school cry...  LOL !! Heck, I get by with the Spanish I learned on my own en la calle, defiendome en una piscina repleto de tiburones, so I like these little grammar lesson tidbits :-)  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 16:24, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

By the way, here's another strange move done by CieloEstrellado—the article he moved from a list is clearly a list. Electoral division of Chile. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 16:45, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I've given it a copyedit, fixing some small things here and there. As for larger revisions, I'm afraid I can't think of much to offer, except that it seems a bit cursory to be a Featured Article in my opinion. Maybe a more thorough history of the development process, its applications, and examples? More discussion of the proposed alternatives? I feel like I'd need more meteorological knowledge before offering worthwhile suggestions. Good luck with the article, though. I learned some new things today. – Scartol  •  Tok  16:43, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Peer Review Request
Hello, Titoxd, I saw your name on the list of volunteer reviewers and wondered if you had time to look at Youngstown Ohio Works, a small article about an early 20th-century baseball team. The article is now rated B-class, but I think it stands a chance of being promoted to GA status, with the help of an experienced reviewer. I would appreciate any and all recommendations! Sincerely, -- twelsht (talk) 23:45, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Will do. I just have a few things to do right now, but I'll work on it later tonight. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 04:10, 9 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much for your detailed recommendations! I'll move on your suggestions later today and get back to you. With appreciation, -- twelsht (talk) 17:03, 9 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Great observations! I moved on all of them. The biggest challenge came in the "Dissolutions" section. For one reason or another, the team didn't fare well after it relocated to Zanesville, never rising above third place in the short-lived Pennsylvania-Ohio-Maryland. Therefore, I couldn't find as much material on this phase of its development. More data was available on the team's manager, who is credited with discovering two pitchers who became stars of the major leagues. Please don't hesitate to let me know if this additional material seems out of place. Thank you, again, for the comprehensive review!

AWB Usage and mbar -> Mbar
I Could stop making this edit, however mbar (as it is linked throughout the hurricane related articles) Loads as Mbar and oddly redirects to Bar (unit) which is described as "The bar (symbol bar), decibar (symbol dbar) and the millibar (symbol mbar, also mb) are units of pressure." So as different as they may be they do appear to be the same. Slysplace |  talk  01:33, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


 * hPa - Same scenario, I'll accept your harshness and tone however pointing out the mere typo created would have been a better suggestion, Changed setting to appease you to mbar (still fixing the redirect) and hPa Same scenario. Any other issues? Slysplace  |  talk  01:39, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * YOU dont have to do all the work, The attitude of many "wikipedians" That They Have To Do All The Work is so overplayed! I'll gladly fix inconsistant scripts to the best of my ability (barring issues within the Program AWB itself) and I'll revert my own edits, if necessary, thank you for the heads up, I'll consider retirement another day but for tonight I'm Done.  Slysplace  |  talk  02:53, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Personally I can not believe a category with multiple featured lists and articles has so many duplicate wikilinks. However I have reconfigured my settings within AWB to perform accordingly to the proper terminology and have made again multiple edits within the Tropical Storm and Hurricane related articles. My intent was and is to assist in cleaning things up, including redirects. As for the odd behavior of an extra * in the External links sections I've found an odd but working solution. It appears that AWB searched for external links and add's the * as it see's fit and properly that is if == External links == is formatted properly. I'll continue to make usefull edits that benefit the articles, I will not however assist any longer with duplicate wikilink removal (in this or any other category) unless the article is fledgling.

Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #12
Number 12, January 10, 2008 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. This edition of the newsletter, after an extended hiatus, covers December 2007 and the first ten days of January 2008.

''Please visit this page and bookmark any suggestions of interest to you. This will help improve monitoring of the WikiProject's articles.''

Storm of the month Tropical Storm Olga was a rare Atlantic December tropical cyclone. The fifteenth named storm of the season, it developed near Puerto Rico on December 11, and quickly struck the Dominican Republic. There, it brought heavy rainfall and severe damage, and caused more than 40 deaths. Casualties were also reported in Puerto Rico and Haiti. The storm greatly weakened as it crossed Hispaniola, degenerating into a remnant low pressure area in the Caribbean Sea on December 13. The remnants of Olga passed near the Yucatán Peninsula before turning northward and bringing rainfall to Florida.

Other tropical cyclone activity
 * Three named tropical cyclones occurred in the South-West Indian Ocean, the strongest of which being Moderate Tropical Storm Celina
 * Two named tropical cyclones occurred in the Australian region, including Tropical Cyclone Helen which struck Australia
 * Two named tropical cyclones occurred in the South Pacific ocean, including Tropical Cyclone Elisa which is currently active. Cyclone Daman was the strongest tropical cyclone worldwide during the time period, reaching a pressure of 925 hPa before impacting Fiji.

Member of the month The December member of the month is Mitchazenia. Mitchazenia has been a project member since 2006. He has created several tropical cyclone related articles, including the good article Subtropical Storm One (1982). Mitchazenia significantly contributed to 1983 Atlantic hurricane season, which is currently a featured article candidate.

New and improved articles
 * There were four new pieces of Featured content : 2003 Atlantic hurricane season, Hurricane Danny (1997), Meteorological history of Hurricane Ivan, and List of North Carolina hurricanes (1980-present)
 * New Good articles include:
 * New storm articles include: Cyclone Inigo, Hurricane Ava (1973), Hurricane Marco (1996)
 * New non-storm articles include: Effects of Hurricane Ivan in the Lesser Antilles and South America, Maximum sustained wind, List of North Carolina hurricanes (pre-1900)

Main Page content
 * Tropical Storm Allison appeared on the Main Page as Today's featured article on December 19.
 * Entries from 2 articles: Hurricane Rick (1997) and 2006 Central Pacific cyclone appeared on the Main Page in the Did you know column during December and early January.

Storm article statistics Categories and more The project has gone under somewhat of a revamping. We have a new, more realistic goal. The members list has been dropped from 89 to 34. This newsletter is to inform users of a change in policy with categories. Previously, an Atlantic and Pacific storm article would have both Category:Atlantic hurricanes and Category:Category 3 tropical cyclones. However, the two were combined, resulting in Category:Category 3 Atlantic hurricanes. The same is done with Pacific hurricanes. Tropical storm articles are dealt with either Category:Eastern Pacific tropical storms or Category:Atlantic tropical storms.

You are a volunteered copyeditor listed at Peer review/volunteers and I'd be glad if you could have a look at the article Vädersolstavlan I just nominated for peer reviewing. My shortcomings in English most likely makes copyediting both necessary and easy.

Request for peer review
Hi, I saw your name on the peer review volunteer page. I'm currently working on a science article called the Kardashev Scale, the page has gone through a lot of changes in the last 3 months, some of them reverts that I wish to overturn. I've sent out some notices to people who have worked on the page previously but I'm having problems getting open opinions and feedback. Their ideas about what they want the article to be about and look like are pretty set. I need outside opinion.

In my opinion the Kardashev scale has 3 primary interests:


 * 1) A benchmark used by Seti scientists in there search for extraterrestrials
 * 2) A catch-all vocabulary term for a scale used by scientists, in classifying advanced civilizations. This has important implications when speculating on sociological structures of advanced civilizations. But also, it is a necessary analysis when talking what about clues might be left behind or generated by alien species; which then might lead the the discovery of extraterrestrials.
 * 3) Because it is can be used for the speculation of advanced civilizations it is a magnet for those interested in science fiction. Not many science fiction writers actually talk about the scale or the power generated by fiction species in power(WATTS) terms, but science fiction enthusiasts are interested in the Kardashev Scale.

My primary goals are in advancing the content area of number 2 and diminishing the fictional content. After all, it is a scientific not a fictional topic. My secondary goals are to find and add published content on the extension of the scale. The feedback I have gotten is pretty much divided between goals 1 or 3. And I don't want to create a editing war!

So please read the article and the discussion page and tell me what you think!!


 * 1)Is the article presently fine the way it is?
 * 2)After you read it, did you get the impression that it was a science article or a science fiction article?
 * 3)Was it too long, too short, easy to understand?
 * 4)Was the article interesting, was it boring, did it feel jumbled or was it concise?
 * 5)What do you think might be needed to be added to this article, what do you think needs to be edited out?

Rollback grantings
I noticed you've been granting rollback, and so I thought that you might want to know that two userspace template messages, User:Acalamari/Rollback and User:NoSeptember/Rollback, are available if you want to give an informing message to someone if you've given them rollback. Thanks. Acalamari 18:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Rollback
Sorry its taken a bit to get back to you. I see you're getting to grips with the new functions. Implementation was rather controversial, with mixed views as to whether consensus was reached for the feature. ArbCom refused to hear a case about it. Both Jimbo and Anthere have commented on the implementation - Jimbo here and Anthere here if you're interested.

As to the practicalities of assignment, we seem to be seeing two views from admins. One believes that anyone who is not an idiot and hasn't abused the tool should be given rollback, the other regards it as purely an anti-vandalism tool to be given out to those involved in reverting vandalism (who have a demonstrated history of correctly identifying vandalism). I think the former is becoming the dominant view of those actively giving out the right. I do worry a little that this is creating a new class of user, rather than just assigning a new function and there has in my opinion been some fairly disappointing use of the function - giving rollback to users who have not asked for it and so not want it, admins giving themselves rollback when this does nothing and just makes it harder to keep track of who has the permission in the rights log, and the assignment of the rights to "joke" secondary accounts that clearly won't be involved in vandal fighting.

Ultimately, admins are selected for a demonstrated ability to make good judgment calls - if you believe someone will make good use of the rollback right, its probably a good idea to give it to them (though I recommend asking first...). WjBscribe 01:15, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Could you please explain more fully how the Mike Silver article got deleted?

The record shows you deleted it. But I don't see a record of where the discussion of its deletion occurred.

Was this article about the Mike Silver who was one of the participants in the controversial skirmish where Omar Khadr is alleged to have killed a GI?

Could you please userify this article, its edit history and talk page, to User:Geo Swan/Guantanamo/Mike Silver?

Unfortunately, Template:WikiProject Philadelphia uses Template:WP1.0/assessments to generate Pennsylvania article assessments for all of its pages, and so pages with those parameters are marked as "Unassessed" when they should be treated as "NA" pages. Would it be possible to include them in the swtich statement in the WP1.0 template? I thought I'd drop by and ask since you seem to have done the work for it.

WikiProject Manual of Style
I've started a thread on a proposed new WikiProject to coordinate Manual of Style pages. I think this might provide a mechanism to address the problem without raising concerns about centralization of authority on the main MoS page. Your comments on whether and how such a WikiProject might work would be very valuable. See WT:MoS. Geometry guy 19:46, 17 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I've now initiated a draft at WP:WPMoS. Sorry for the delay. I hope you will want to add your name to the list of participants. Thanks, Geometry guy 21:26, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Copyedit
Hi. Would you mind looking over List of New York hurricanes and giving it a quick copyedit? Thanks, Juliancolton (Talk) 22:34, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Peer review for Jack Warner
Hi Titoxd, Thanks, again, for your help on Jimmy McAleer! The FAC languished for more than a month, but I'm happy to report that the article was promoted. I just requested a peer review for a piece on movie mogul Jack Warner. The article includes a good deal of information, and it's reasonably engaging, but I know it can be improved. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, -- twelsht (talk) 15:37, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Hurricane Katrina
Hi Titoxd. Would you have time to have a look at these threads? Thanks. Carcharoth (talk) 00:00, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Talk:Hurricane Katrina
 * Wikipedia talk:Featured article review
 * Posted to the Wikiproject as well. Carcharoth (talk) 11:21, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Replying here, per the note at the top of your talk page.
 * The problem is, updating Katrina is very complicated due to three factors. The first one is just the overwhelming abundance of information. Trying to pick and choose what to write and what not to write would carry a bit of risk of giving undue weight to something. That is something that ideally would be based on several books going in large depth about the topic, not just picking and choosing websites.
 * Secondly, and more importantly, the long-term effects of Katrina are still not completely known, particularly the political and social effects. While that's not an adequate reason for not writing anything, it would mean we need to refresh the page a year or so from now, after the elections.
 * Finally, and most importantly for me, the available time I have to do anything on Wikipedia is asymptotically approaching $$\lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{1}{x}$$. While I'd like to work on the article, I see no way I can do that anytime soon. I can probably help out a little bit, but I don't have the time to do the heavy researching or writing tasks that this article requires. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 03:04, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the detailed reply. I'm pointing it out at several other threads where I am discussing this. Carcharoth (talk) 03:31, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Admin Coaching Re-confirmation
Hello, previously you expressed interest in participating in the Admin coaching project. We are currently conducting a reconfirmation drive to give coaches the opportunity to update their information and capacity to participate in the project. Please visit Admin coaching/Status to update your status and move your entry to the Active list. Also, please remember to update your capacity (5th table variable) in the form of a fraction (eg. 2/3 means you are currently coaching 2 students, and could accept 1 more student). Thank you.

Floola
You deleted Floola a few months ago. I think it should be undeleted, though I'd like to know what was in the original version.

What you saw when you deleted it may have been a stub, because the article has been deleted a few times before and people who had re-included info may have only added just links, and so on.

However, it seems reasonable enough to keep because there are several other similar articles.

What about the previous versions? Can you see those? Meaning: Not the page you deleted, but the page version before that. &#9775; Zenwhat (talk) 19:11, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Could you dump all of the stuff in those three versions here:

User:Zenwhat/Sandbox

It'd be helpful in doing a re-write. &#9775; Zenwhat (talk) 19:18, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you're right. That's a lot less than I expected. Not sure where I'd get sources to do the re-write anyawy. Thanks, though! &#9775; Zenwhat (talk) 19:26, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Don't revert the whole thing!
You reverted after looking only halfway into this. The colors are exactly the same! The new ones are going into the new template, plus some new labels added. I noted in the template which color was changed, then changed it back for the time being. The one in question isn't even mentioned in that discussion you linked to. NOTHING has been affected.

Flcelloguy's Tool
I've been having problems with Flcelloguy's Tool for a while now (maybe approaching a year). I've posted a few messages, but the project appears mostly dead. Can you confirm / deny? Thanks! /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 04:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, most of the code works, but nobody has time to fix the few issues with the parser, so in a way, yeah, it's dead-ish. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 04:59, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
