Copy editing Davenport, Iowa
Hi! I was wondering if you could copy edit Davenport, Iowa? I am working on getting it to a Featured Article, and one of the suggestions on the peer review was to have a "fresh pair of eyes" copy edit the page, which is a good idea anyway. I will be asking a few people at the PR volunteer's page, to get the widest copyedit perspective I can get. If you can help me, let me know on my talk page or just go ahead and edit the article! If you can't, thanks anyway, a note on my talk would be helpful, but not a big deal if you don't. Thanks again!  C T J F 8 3 Talk 00:59, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Would you be able to help me with this?  C T J F 8 3 Talk 19:43, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It seems like it has gotten attention from Carcharoth et. al, so I'll look it over after I deal with the rest of the requests on this page, if still necessary. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 23:23, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, thank you, I know your busy, but I'd like to get a few people to CE it. So if you get time, that would be appreciated!  C T J F 8 3 Talk 20:44, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Your edit.
Those tables were right-aligned so the top edge could begin just below the bottom edge of the header. Otherwise, they would've been centered or placed to the left if they were supposed to be stacked below the other links. In articles with only some section links it does not look even because some boxes are pushed down while others are not. In an article such as that, it's not as noticeable because every section has a link at top.Potapych (talk) 05:04, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You need to show me where. Quickly, because I am going to bed soon.Potapych (talk) 05:10, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The only reference to screen readers was in the conversation about the small navboxes in the lead section?Potapych (talk) 05:12, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You should ask them again. I believe this same person has complained about excess whitespace in each of the sections, and I don't think they understand the effect of moving these things. When I was looking for examples, I couldn't find any other articles besides TC with multiple small infoboxes. This should be an exception too because that section is obviously referring to those cleanup tags. People complain about whitespace more than the templates. The only suggestion I saw was to alternate them left and right, which I don't know how to do (and it could be impossible). Maybe the main links should be taken out of the sections.

Copyediting

Reviewing articles for Version 0.7
Tito, I know you're busy with work, but if you could spare a bit of time to review nominations at Release_Version_Nominations, I'd really appreciate it. I'm trying to put together an index for Version 0.7, but I've been unable to do a lot because we have a big backlog of manual nominations, and I've had to do most myself. I'm concerned that our timeline will slip I can't keep up. Some noms have already been selected by SelectionBot (see this list which auto-updates) and these can be ignored, but if you could work through some that you feel comfortable with, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Walkerma (talk) 16:13, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll try, but I really can't promise anything. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 23:17, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

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.

 * They didn't, don't worry. I'm not sure what caustic means, though. Or antecedent. Besides, that first glance would have to be by an editor who is:
 * A.) Very impatient. B.) Has had a very bad off-wiki day. C.) Is on the verge of being blocked. D.) All of the above. Sorry if I have caused any inconvenience. --Dylan620 ( Home •  yadda yadda yadda  •  Ooooohh! ) 01:41, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey there
Just wanted to drop by and thank you for your input at the Spanish Wiki about Eustress's case. And (yes, there is a mildly selfish motive here, hehe) to encourage you to keep jumping in whenever you feel it necessary! As someone who started editing there after being 'raised' in the English Wikipedia, I too sometimes find some actions/behaviours there odd, when not downright controversial. Making sure they don't go unnoticed and unchallenged is important. So thank you again, and hope to see you regularly (and Eustress, of course -I hope s/he isn't too badly bruised from the experience) at the Spanish Wikipedia. ;) Cheers Raystorm   (¿Sí?)  23:36, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey there. I noticed that you were an active editor on USAD a while back. I have been trying to bring the article up to featured article status, and I wondered a few things. First, do you wish add yourself as a nominator to the FAC? Second, would you be interested in giving it a copy edit? It probably needs one or two more run-throughs (see Talk:USAD for Awadewit's comments) and then FAC would be quite possible.

Numerous recent TC project polls
I think the issue is that the TC project isn't thinking about the issue from a wikipedia standpoint, merely from a standpoint of self-interest. Since the members of the project have historically been young (late 10s, early 20s) or idealistic, that was bound to happen. This odd argument should have been seen coming, and has never been fully addressed over the past few years. I don't think this series of polls will really solve anything, other than make people feel more alienated. Thegreatdr (talk) 11:24, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not really into merger within the TC project as much as redirects. There is a new debate between the ITCZ and monsoon trough articles.  At last, someone is paying attention to what is happenning to ITCZ and monsoon trough and is starting to question/improve ITCZ and whether or not it should be a merely redirect.  God forbid, signs of activity within the broader meteorology project.  Thegreatdr (talk) 19:24, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Storm of the month Cyclone Aila was the second tropical cyclone to form within the Northern Indian Ocean during 2009. The disturbance that was to become Cyclone Aila formed on 21 May 2009 about 950 km to the south of Kolkata, in India. Over the next couple of days the disturbance slowly developed before a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert was issued by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center early on 23 May 2009 and being designated as a depression by RSMC New Delhi. , 330 people have been killed by Aila and at least 8,208 more are missing, while about 1 million are homeless. Health officials in Bangladesh confirmed a deadly outbreak on diarrhea on 29 May, with more than 7,000 people being infected and four dying. In Bangladesh, an estimated 20 million people were at risk of post-disaster diseases due to Aila. Damage totaled $40.7 million (USD).

Other tropical cyclone activity Tropical Depression One was the first tropical cyclone to develop during the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season. The depression formed on May 28, out of a disorganized area of low pressure off the coast of North Carolina. However after attaining its peak strength the depression began to weaken due to increasing wind shear and cooling sea surface temperatures with the final advisory being issued on May 29.
 * North Atlantic
 * 2009 Pacific typhoon season - In the two month period, there were four tropical cyclones, all within a short time period and small area. Tropical Depression Crising moved through the Philippines but didn't develop. Typhoon Kujira formed over the Philippines, causing 29 deaths and almost $30 million in damage, before becoming the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane. While Kujira was active, a tropical depression formed and dissipated over the open ocean, while Typhoon Chan-hom developed and organized in the South China Sea, eventually crossing Luzon and causing 60 deaths and heavy damage.
 * North Indian - Aside from Aila, Cyclone Bijli formed in April, making landfall on Bangladesh and killing 7 people.
 * South Indian– Cyclone Jade was the final Cyclone to form. Jade formed on April 5th from a tropical disturbance it quickly intensifed and bcame a category one tropical cyclone on the SSHS before making its first of three landfalls on Madagascar. Jade then dissipated on April 11 after causing fifteen deaths.
 * Australian Region - Cyclone Kirrly formed on April 25 in the Arafura Sea to the north of Australia within 5 degrees of the equator which is an unusual area of formation. It quickly reached its peak before making landfall on eastern Indonesia.
 * South Pacific - As the last newsletter was published Tropical Cyclone Lin was just devloping as Tropical depression 14F. Lin eventually went on to affect Fiji and Tonga causing at least $1000 worth of damage. Tropical Disturbance 15F also formed this month within the Solomon Islands. It moved eventually moved into the Australian Region but was not monitored by TCWC Brisbane as anything higher than an area of low pressure.

Member of the month The member of the month is Jason Rees, who joined Wikipedia in 2007, and has written nine tropical cyclone GA's. Jason primarily focuses on Southern Hemisphere storms, as well as the Western Pacific. He has plans for featured topics for several seasons, but for now, he is a regular member of the project who adds his input in discussions on the talk page. We thank Jason for his work, and we look forward to more articles!

Storm article statistics Project News There is debate as usual with regards to notability, as well as the status of the project in general, but nothing new is going on.

During the last week, some editors have organized a page &mdash; WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Viewed stats &mdash; that has a listing of monthly page views within the project. It is under construction, although it is complete for all Eastern Pacific tropical cyclones, as well as all Atlantic tropical cyclones from 1979 to the present. Interestingly, the top 6 viewed EPAC articles are all featured, and all of the top 16 in the basin are GA's. Unfortunately, the Atlantic, at least from 1979 to the present, is much worse, despite being viewed much, much more. The top eight-viewed Atlantic articles all are viewed more than 10,000 times per month, for a total of 363889 views per month, but only two of them are featured, and none of the others are GA. As always, any help in the retired storms would be greatly appreciated.

Somewhat tying into the bettering of project articles, the basin article challenge is still ongoing. Hurricanehink is currently in the lead with a GA in 2 basins. Cyclonebiskit is in 2nd, with one GA in the EPAC. The challenge is still open to anyone, and it is not so much a race, rather a challenge just to get a fairly important GA in each basin.

Track map
I have noticed that you have been making track maps for storms today. If possible, could you make a track map for Tropical Depression One (2009)? the data is here:

Thanks

Faxai '07 track
Can you update Faxai's track with data from the JMA? Thanks, Cyclonebiskit 03:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Some Track Maps
I know you just finished a track map for TD 1, over a period of time, could you make track maps for all the typhoon 1945-49?


 * The HURDAT data is here :


 * and the names are here User:Anhamirak/45-49 (I got them from somewhere else, but I can't find that place anymore.)

Thank you very much! -- An ' ha ' mi  rak  21:15, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't; UNISYS data is, if I recall correctly, non-free. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 21:17, 10 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll try to find WPac data in HURDAT now. -- An ' ha ' mi  rak  21:18, 10 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Here is a FTP file from the International Best Track here: -- An ' ha ' mi  rak  21:21, 10 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't think the ibtrac is in 1-minute format. Therefore it would be incompatible with the track map program. I'm not sure that making an image from unisys data is the same as using copyrighted image, as long as you are the one creating the image. Wikipedia could not exist without copyrighted sources. Potapych (talk) 03:51, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * But there's a difference between citing copyrighted sources and using all of their information. I'm not 100% sure of the validity of free use when you're essentially supplanting the motivation in using the source, so I will not make any image from Unisys data.

 * I checked Typhoon Tip and it had 190 mph winds so I am guessing that at least until there, it is 1-min winds. -- An ' ha ' mi  rak  13:35, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
