WikiCup 2010 June newsletter
We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were (A),  (B, and the round's overall leader),  (C)  and  (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, as ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Wikipedia Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself.

If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone!

Talk:1989 Pacific hurricane season/GA1

Help please
Fix the convert template on the 1989 Pacific hurricane season

Why is the ref here not working? It would be nice if someone could fix it or told me how to fix it. Thank you very much.
 * I switched the page to as , while great for multiple references, looks like crap with only one or a few. The other problem was that you misspelled "accessdate". Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 17:12, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 July newsletter
We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants (,  and ) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by, who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.

Earlier this round, we said goodbye to, who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by. We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.

I did NOT break any revert rule
I did NOT make more than 3 reverts. You made more than me. I discussed it without first about edit warring. Then you falsely reported me. I want an explanation or I am reporting you to the admin.74.194.176.82 (talk) 20:14, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Hurricane Danielle Image
Hey I noticed your comment you made and got removed and I was just asking if someone could upload a better image is all, was I placing the request in the wrong place? If so would the commons be a better place to ask for one? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:31, 26 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Re: Hey its no problem happens to me too. Happy editing - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:43, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

GAN Reviews
I noticed that you failed the GA nom of Hurricane Celia (2010). However, you didn't follow the procedure indicated on the nominations page. I've taken the liberty of removing Celia from the nom list in order to "finish the job", so to speak, that you started. Next time you review a GA nom, please be sure to follow the procedures and guidelines indicated on the nom page. Thank you. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 22:35, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Neki sandbox ‎reversion
I undid your reversion of my edit to Cyclonebiskit's Neki sandbox on the grounds that it was done for incorrect reasons. Those links I added are inline links to categories; they do not actually add the page to the category. If you like, you visit Category:Category 3 Pacific hurricanes and see for yourself that no userpages are in it.

Inline links to categories are formed like this:

Category:Categoryname

Notice the prefixed : which serves to make the link just like any other inline link. BTW, the same prefixed colin works for templates as well. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 20:31, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Do I know you?
Do I know you? Because you seem to know my name....

Hi. Sorry about that, I had an edit conflict and inadvertantly reverted your edit while adding mine. I don't mind restoring the section, although I'll have to fix the broken templates and collateral damage errors. I'll put it up again, unless someone reverts it again. Thanks. ~AH1(TCU) 01:40, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

We usually wait until the official NHC advisory, but it's listed on NRL. I'll have the section put up but it might not stay up for another hour or so. ~AH1(TCU) 01:41, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thanks TropicalAnalystwx13 01:45, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Wait until the advisory is out. Occasionally that renumbering is incorrect. Hurricanehink (talk) 01:49, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Since when, as long as I've been following that (All of this year), it has been correct. We DO have TD #14.

I promise you 100% TropicalAnalystwx13 01:50, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Please be careful when you revert another user's edit multiple times. You could be blocked for violation of 3RR. It's only another hour until the offical advisory. ~AH1(TCU) 01:52, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I'll wait...But, I really don't see the point. I mean, its already official, so why not post it? TropicalAnalystwx13 01:54, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

The problem is that it's not really official. The NHC can sometimes change their mind with those reissue things. Hurricanehink (talk) 01:56, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

'''I agree with Cody (TA13). what harm does it do? YE Tropical Cyclone 02:22, 21 September 2010 (UTC)'''

It could be wrong information if the NHC were to change their mind. It's not really official until the advisory comes out. Hurricanehink (talk) 02:29, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Now it's official. Hurricanehink (talk) 02:36, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, TropicalAnalystwx13 21:15, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
