Wind FAC review
Cool. Just let me know what issues you find with the article. There haven't been any FAC comments in nearly a week, and no edits to the article in 5 days. We're up to 4 supports and no opposes, with the two extra supports coming late last weekend. There doesn't appear to be anything on the consensus page to know how many supports are needed before a FAC is passed. I'm assuming this is an organic process. In the past, it appears 6 supports were needed. Thegreatdr (talk) 12:02, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Tropical Cyclone tracks
I've downloaded all the systems needed for getting Tropical cyclone tracks but none of them work. I'm not sure which versions of the cairo, SVN, and gcc graphics are needed. Wonderworld1995268 (talk) 20:20, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

My RfB
Hey. WRT this, I just wanted to clarify a few things: first of all, I don't believe my time is being stretched too thinly at the moment. In fact, I'm starting to expand my horizons by editing a few more sister projects. Second, surprisingly, stress hasn't been a huge issue for me as of yet. I work where and when I'm comfortable for the most part. Finally, I don't think I have to worry about burning out for a while.

Just FYI. Regards, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 22:37, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

El Nino/ENSO article
We need to watch the evolution of this article closely. There has been greater vandalism in recent months. Also, one of the early editors (a current admin) to the article has previously reverted people who have simplified wording, and has previously stated to me (in a different matter) that they have no interest in the wikipedia class system. I can see the edits made over the past 12 hours all going up in smoke once the editor/admin realizes what's been going on. Thegreatdr (talk) 18:19, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Titoxd, Are you interested in reviewing the GPS article and making comments.

2005 Diebold Incident
Hi Titoxd. I am a professor at University of South Florida completing a long research project on digital technology and classical rhetoric/postmodern philosophy. Blah blah. I am particularly interested in the Diebold revert war from November 17th 2005. Looking at the page history, I noticed that you were able to revert a rather dubious edit by an anonymous IP address (later, through Wikiscanner, attached to Diebold's corporate offices), within one minute. Do you remember anything from that day? Did you just happen to be on when the edit occurred? Where you regularly watching that page? Any information you could supply would be of interest to me. Thanks ahead of time for any information you can supply. Insignificantwrangler (talk) 17:13, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That series of edits look to be just standard vandalism reversion (blanking of a criticism section by, caught by RC feed filters on #cvn-wp-en (or one of its many precursor channels; see WP:CUV for more info). I didn't watch that page, but it might have a) been listed on one of the IRC watchlists if someone reported problems, or b) someone else might have reverted that IP first, triggering the address to be grey-listed by the RC filter bots. More than that, I honestly don't remember (it's been four years). Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 01:58, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

IRC with PediaPress
Hi Titoxd,

I met the people from PediaPress at Wikimania - they are the folks officially "blessed" by the Foundation for producing dead tree versions of Wikipedia content. They do quite a nice job, too! They are keen to work with us 1.0 people to develop WikiProject-based book releases. We're having an IRC meeting on Tuesday, October 20th at 1600h UTC at #wikipedia-1.0 - do you want to join us? I remember that you're (like me) quite a fan of book releases, and you were thinking of doing one on Atlantic hurricanes since 2000 (is that right?). Cheers, Walkerma (talk) 04:20, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry you can't attend. I think the process is simple; you just provide them with a list of articles, and they make the book. I will be keen to see about things like control over the article version (critical for avoiding vandalism), etc. I'll send you the log. All the best, Walkerma (talk) 05:01, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:FL-classicon
A tag has been placed on Template:FL-classicon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (&lt;noinclude>&#123;{transclusionless}}&lt;/noinclude>).

Comments subpages (Village pump discussion)
I was following a discussion at one of the village pumps about the comments subpages used by some articles, and having a vague memory that WP:WP 1.0 started them, I went looking for the old discussions that started them and found these: 1, 2, 3 (May to July 2006). You were one of the five main participants at those discussions, so I'm notifying all five of you so that some input from when this all started can be obtained for the current discussion, as I'm not sure the full picture is being presented there so far. I'll leave a note at the Village Pump discussion saying who I notified. I also left a note at the WP:WP 1.0 talk page, but not sure how much you each follow that page now, hence the user talk page note. Carcharoth (talk) 19:10, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Requested move
Tito, I'm coming to you because you're the admin I know best who speaks Spanish (Yoman gave up the bit, and I will point Jbmurray to this thread for consultation, since this one may be a hot point). Banco del Sur redirects to Bank of the South, although all reliable sources refer to it by the correct name of Banco del Sur. I don't know how to move over redirect; can you complete that? Please read sources carefully first, since there's some major edit warring going on across Venezuelan articles. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 19:01, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Will look into it a bit later (gotta finish homework first). Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 22:41, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Muy agradecida! While it seems like an obvious move, there is so much whackiness going on in Venezuelan articles, that one never knows, so I hope you know policy/guideline in this area better than I do.  My understanding is that when English reliable sources call it Banco del Sur, it should be Banco del Sur, and I don't know anyone who calls it Bank of the South.  But I could be wrong here, and don't want you to wade into something unforeseen.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 22:48, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Maldicion, I just found another one Venezuela Daily Journal should be at either The Daily Journal or The Daily Journal (Venezuela). I don't think that's controversial, but I'm not up on newspaper naming. Venezuelan articles everywhere are a mess. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 19:54, 28 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Looking more into it, I don't feel comfortable moving the BancoSur article, since there are many reliable sources (e.g. the New York Times, Al-Jazeera) that call it Bank of the South. At that point, Naming conventions (use English) says to leave it in the stable name, which is the place that it currently is right now. The other article might even have to be named The Daily Journal (Caracas), as it seems that newspapers are disambiguated by city (yet I can't find where that is written anywhere).

WP1.0 template updates
We're discussing the WP1.0 template at Wikipedia_talk:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team. At some point soon I need to tag all the articles that were released on 0.7, so it's a good time to make any changes to the template itself.

The main change we are discussing so far is removing the quality and importance parameters, and leaving that to the wikiprojects to assess. Do you have any other ideas for improvement? I can go through with a bot and re-tag every article that has the tag, to change parameters if needed. &mdash; Carl (CBM · talk) 13:25, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I was looking through the coaches at Admin_coaching/Status and saw that there are a lot under "reconfirmation".

Could you let me know if you are still interesting in being involved with Admin Coaching, or if you would prefer to have your name removed from the "reconfirmation" list and placed on the "retired" list. If you want to be involved, could you please move your entry from "Reconfirmation" to "Active" and indicate how many students you would be willing to have (obviously, if you are actively coaching at the moment, then please indicate this!)

If I do not hear from you within a week, I will assume that you would like to have your name removed from the list of coaches and moved to the retired list.

Tracks
Hey,

I can't remember the finer details I'm afraid though I suspect the answer to your question is Jdorje. Since I last did any work on track maps I've had to replace the computer and I haven't installed the tracks program on the current one (yet). I do have access to my GNA account, but as I'm a group member - not an administrator - I probably can't grant access to others. That allows me to submit stuff, and presumably approve open patches. But I don't know how to do anything beyond the most basic tasks. Most sensible route for you may just be to fork (unless GNA allows admin usurping?), as that way you'd have admin rights.

As you can tell from my recent contributions here on WP I'm working on another time-consuming project at present. When that's out the way, I'll have a look at implementing the stuff talked about at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Archive 21 (I've just moved the track for 1944 Great Atlantic Hurricane as the existing file name was downright stupid). Once that's done, it will make future uploads of older tracks simpler.

One idea I'd suggest you look into is if the track program could (optionally) be converted to use 10-min averaging, as this would make using a lot simpler. Re-installing the tracks package and working with that is on my to-do list.

In more general terms with respect to WPTC, obviously when I went inactive I wasn't feeling the best wrt the project. That said, I will do specific things (that don't require the track program) if requested; If/when I reinstall the package I'll probably do stuff with that again too. I may get involved in some work here on WP again, but my home wiki is Commons and my present interests reflect that. If I do ever get back to real activity on wp, WPTC is one of the areas I'll probably do stuff in...--Nilfanion (talk) 23:33, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
