GAN nomination and review
Hi, there is no need to either remove passed nominations from WP:GAN or manually add them. Please read Good article nominations/Transition FAQ, which is referred to prominently at the top of the page. If nominating you need to substitute the GAN template on the article talk page. I notice that you have nominated 1989 Pacific hurricane season. This is already a good article, you have not added a nomination template, so the bot will remove this nomination shortly. If you review and pass as you did at Hurricane Paine (1986), you simply need to add the GA passed template. instructions at WP:GAN. Also you need to add the Good article template to the bottom of the article itself so that the GAN start shows. And you need to chnage the project banner(s) to reflect the GA status. I have done this for you. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:06, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Hurricane Virgil (1992)
The article Hurricane Virgil (1992) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Hurricane Virgil (1992) for things which need to be addressed. Crowz RSA  01:46, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Paul GA review
Thank you for your review of Tropical Storm Paul for GA. I have a few issues before for you add more comments or finish the GA review. Let's see, about this statement you made: "... The twentieth tropical cyclone and eighteenth named storm of the 2000 Pacific hurricane season, Paul developed on October 25 from a tropical disturbance situated several hundred miles southwest of Mexico." kinda of a big sentence? Uou might wanta fix it. Also, should'nt was be changed is?", I kinda disagree with you on that one, since other storms have an even longer second sentence, take Tropical Storm Norman of that year for example: compared with:
 * "The sixteenth cyclone and fourteenth named storm of the 2000 Pacific hurricane season, Norman originated in a tropical wave that emerged from the coast of Africa on September 4, and moved westward across the Atlantic Ocean; the wave entered the Pacific on September 16."
 * "The twentieth tropical cyclone and eighteenth named storm of the 2000 Pacific hurricane season, Paul developed on October 25 from a tropical disturbance situated several hundred miles southwest of Mexico."

I also have another comment, isn't it obvious how the flooding occurred ("How did the flooding occur?")? I think nearly everyone that reads the article would understand that very heavy rains = flooding. Also on that issue, I had already mentioned the remnants of Paul interacting with the upper-level low, and that answers why there was heavy rainfall. Again, thank you for the review--12george1 (talk) 18:16, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello! Do you know how many FA'S and GA's WP:HOOPS has? Thanks, -- Beluga boy cup of tea? 01:22, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Would you be willing to do some questions for WP:NBA instead? I'm thinking, now that I know that HOOPS is dead, I'd really appreciate it.

Welcome to the 2011 WikiCup!
Hello, happy new year and welcome to the 2011 WikiCup! Your submissions' page can be found here and instructions of how to update the page can be found here and on the submissions' page itself. From the submissions' page, a bot will update the main scoresheet. Our rules have been very slightly updated from last year; the full rules can be found here. Please remember that you can only receive points for content on which you have done significant work in 2011; nominations of work from last year and "drive-by" nominations will not be awarded points. Signups are going to remain open through January, so if you know of anyone who would like to take part, please direct them to WikiCup/2011 signups. The judges can be contacted on the WikiCup talk page, on their respective talk pages, or by email. Other than that, we will be in contact at the end of every month with the newsletter. If you want to stop or start receiving newsletters, please remove your name from or add your name to this list. Good luck! J Milburn and The ed17 13:01, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Re: Lidia sandbox
You removed all the paragraphs I wrote, although much of my prose is still there. I would't have merged all impact paragraphs into one the way you did, as it was easier to follow and remember what was what if seperate paragraphs are used. Also, it was unnecessary to remove the category links the way you did. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 18:13, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Lidia DYK
Hi. I've nominated Tropical Storm Lidia, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Did you know. You can see the hook for the article here, where you can improve it if you see fit. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 03:47, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

I unilaterally nominated this at my own perogative. Since you changed the order of sentences, merged paragraphs, etc, I listed you as an author at the nomination. Please make sure to review someone else's DYK nomination and (likely) mention it there. Please be sure to follow the appropriate procedure and all criteria, and to mention it in the Lidia nomination. Thank you. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 03:54, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
