Welcome to my Talk Page! Communication Administrative Other Please post new messages to the bottom of my talk page. Please use headlines when starting new talk topics. Also, if you come to attack other user, read this first. Thank you. Mexican gov infoI was poking around on the SMN site looking at Lanes radar images and stumbled across this: http://www.covecyt.gob.mx/descargas/memorias/Inundaciones/INDICE.HTML It seems to have a TON of potentially useful stuff. This file seems to have info on Pre-Columbian hurricanes (Maya?). All very interesting... I also noticed a Stan impact pic.--Nilfanion (talk) 00:16, 16 September 2006 (UTC) Re: KeithI think I got just what you need. Here's the currency converter I use.

Version 0.5 Natural ScienceYou have tagged Soil as {{v0.5|class=A|category=Natsci}} (appreciated!). I am curious about the Natsci portion of the tag, but could not seem to find such a v0.5 or class A category. Is there a list of articles similarly tagged with category=Natsci or ?

Thanx. íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 17:19, 24 September 2006 (UTC) Regarding this edit/TS reviewTitoxd, regarding this, I was wondering if you speak Spanish, as there is a pattern, which continues today. I've been trying to get this editor to discuss changes (even translating for him) and use edit summaries for a while: in case you don't speak Spanish, I wish we could find an admin who does. On a separate matter, you commented long ago on the peer review for Tourette syndrome; can you have a fresh look at the article whenever you have time (no hurry whatsoever)?

Very nice ! Sandy 14:24, 26 September 2006 (UTC) Sorry about thatI wasn't aware that the revert I did was actually correct, I just saw that the date was listed like that in previous versions, so I just assumed that was wrong. My bad. Anyway, thanks for reverting back to the correct version. Have a pleasant evening.

Requests for checkuser can be made at the Commons:Administrators' noticeboard. Thanks, 01:41, 29 September 2006 (UTC) ProQuestI'm not sure what the proper procedure is, but when I use ProQuest I just assume that the database is accurate and cite the article as if I had seen a hard copy. I feel this is justified especially for stuff in the Historical NYT database, since all the articles are scanned copies of what appeared in the newspaper. Probably the same can be assumed for other databases, but you could also just put a parenthetical note saying which database it came from. --Spangineer (háblame) 05:59, 29 September 2006 (UTC) Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Batesville, LouisianaI have noticed when you closed the above AfD, you did not remove the category template, "REMOVE THIS TEMPLATE WHEN CLOSING THIS AfD". By deleting this when closing it pulls the discussion out of the category. I have deleted it from this discussion, but if you could review any other closures you have done recently and remove the tag from them it would be greatly appreicated. This is a fairly recent change. The guideline is at WP:AFDC. I have been going through the listing in each of the categories CAT:AFD and removing the tag from pages that are closed and adding the approriate category code for those in the uncatagorised group.

The WikiProject has its own IRC channel. "TD's should be bolded, as they are the impetus of every storm, weak or strong."Storm of the month  Hurricane Ioke is the most intense hurricane on record in the Central Pacific. After forming on August 19 to the south of Hawaii, Ioke moved to the northwest and hit Johnston Atoll as a Category 2 hurricane. It strengthened further as it moved to the west, reaching Category 5 strength on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale three times, twice in the Central Pacific and once in the Western Pacific. After the storm entered the Western Pacific it directly hit Wake Island. The storm finally became extratropical on September 7 but its extratropical remnants affected Alaska. Overall damage from Hurricane Ioke was light. Other tropical cyclone activity

Member of the month  The September member of the month is Thegreatdr, David Roth. David Roth is a meteorologist at the wpc, who as part of his work there is producing Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Data. Dozens of the maps he has created are used in Misplaced Pages articles. He has produced a number of valuable articles to the project such as tropical cyclone rainfall climatology and Atlantic hurricane reanalysis, and significantly expanded several seasonal articles such as 1982 Pacific hurricane season. 1933 AHSCould you give the article another look? I just expanded it greatly, using newspaper reports, and I want to make sure it flows well, etc. I'd ask someone else, but you're the best copyeditor we got ;) Hurricanehink (talk) 22:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC) Anon on Foley scandal article againHas just removed "sexually suggestive" and removed the description of Foley as a republican.

Set nominations for Version 0.5Hi Tito, I hope you're doing well. I'd like to close the set nomination discussions, so I'm asking for your votes on these if you have time. With Misplaced Pages:Version 0.5 Set Nominations/Genetic disorders I'm the only person who has commented/debated recently, and I noticed you commented back in the summer on this when the consensus was to hold till later. Can you cast your vote on this set? The other three sets seem to have at least 2-3 people in rough agreement, but if you have time your comments on those would be welcome as well. Thanks, Walkerma 04:19, 13 October 2006 (UTC) Re: Misplaced Pages:One featured article per quarterHeh, that's pretty interesting, thanks. I would consider doing it, but due to my ADD I can't seem to predict which articles I'm going to do.

Edit Count and Edit CountersThank you for removing the section about Edit Counters in the Edit Count article. The two articles were fundamentally different and users creating edit tools were advertising them on the Edit Count article rather than the Edit Counters article. Let's hope the merge request and clean up of the articles stays. Thanks again. Mkdw 22:10, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Maybe I am missing something. If you're refering to namespaces. How does Misplaced Pages:Edit_count fit under User talk namespace? Namespaces 1, 3, 5, and 7 are all talk pages more specifically Namespace 3 as the User Talk. Now Misplaced Pages:Edit_count is under the Namespace 4 and can be found in its category . I was talking more to the point that the article reads as an encyclopedic article, whether a part of Misplaced Pages or not, and the WikiProject Edit Counters relates to the development of Misplaced Pages Tools. I don't see how they are similar enough to warrent one being linked to the other without making it a generalization. An example would be Grapes and Grape Pickers. One relates to the other, but could, and would discuss them separately. Especially if there is a movement to keep Edit Counts away from the basis of adminship. I don't see the purpose of discussing that on the same page as where people are discussing technical notes or where people are reviewing. 22:39, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
I agree, and what I am reading are two very 'project pages' then, being merged when they have different discussions going on. If you read the Edit Count discussion, enough people for a six month old argument have said they are different subjects. The changes I am talking about are simply removing the first paragraph from WikiProject: Edit Counters as the second paragraph directly contradicts the purpose of the article. If people are indeed trying to do something together, then we shouldn't be mixed two groups of people trying to do two different things. I don't even see the relevence of discussing adminship in a place of tool development. Mkdw 22:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
We've left the topic about whether they are articles or not. They're not and if you need me to say it, then I am. Let's move on. The topic sentence, which is acting as the secondary thesis statement to the whole project states: "Our goal is to organize and coordinate the various efforts at creating edit counters and statistics tools. Our primary purpose is to give Wikipedians more tools at analyzing their own edits and others' edits; while editcountitis may be fatal, we primarily strive to offer another alternative and viewpoint at one's contributions" To coordinate the various efforts at creating edit counters. I fail to see the pages responsibility or usage in its first thesis: Edit counts are a quick way of measuring a Wikipedian's experience in the Misplaced Pages community. Edit Counts has its own topic, it talks about its use in adminship. Why not keep the articles separate? One about tools the other about how edit counts are used? Mkdw 23:03, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Coaching coordinatingAre you willing and able to take back the admin coaching co-ordination? Life has got a lot busier for me, so I can longer give it the time needed. Petros471 14:44, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Semi-auto edits?Is there a way to make semi-auto edits on a list of articles that can be fed to a program or script of some sort? I am inquiring about this because I have recently stumbled across a whole mess of stub articles that have no references or sources, and it would definately save a whole lot of time if it were possible to include an unreferenced tag at the top of the article and have the edit be saved, though confirming it didn't break any layouts or anything beforehand, of course.. If not, the old-fashioned method still works, would just take longer. --Kyra~(talk) 22:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
More merging of information from tropical cyclone into tropical cyclogenesisAnother attempt has been made to include information from the tropical cyclone article into tropical cyclogenesis. I reformatted the unusual formation section, fixed a reference, and moved it over. It makes tropical cyclogenesis a more complete article (I think).

I'm nearing the completion of my pet project and I have a seasonal track map prepared (not uploaded yet though). However, there is no {{infobox typhoon season}} corresponding to {{infobox typhoon season nopic}} for me to swap over to - so I can't insert it into the article yet. As these templates are a bit confusing I was wondering if you could cook up a working template here? In the longer term, I think we ought to work towards having just the one infobox templates for individual TC seasons, in any basin - and use a lot of voodoo to make it the jobs of all the other ones.--Nilfanion (talk) 23:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC) Your comments on Misplaced Pages talk:Administrator intervention against vandalism... were spot on.

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. The WikiProject has its own IRC channel. Storm of the month  Typhoon Xangsane, known as Typhoon Milenyo in the Philippines was a destructive typhoon that affected the Philippines and Indochina. The storm caused severe flooding and landslides in the regions it affected and was responsible for at least 279 deaths and $747 million (USD) in damage, mostly in the Philippines and Vietnam. Xangsane formed to the east of the Philippines and rapidly intensified, striking Samar Island as a Category 4 typhoon. It weakened over the Philippines, but again reached Category 4 strength in the South China Sea. After its landfall in Vietnam, the typhoon dissipated, with its remnant crossing Indochina and entering the Bay of Bengal. Other tropical cyclone activity

Member of the month The October Member of the Month is Coredesat. Coredesat joined the WikiProject in March and has contributed to many diverse areas within the project. He has written two featured articles on Atlantic storms and a number of good articles on current typhoons. However, the article he is most proud of is a disambiguation page, a sorely neglected portion of the project. Main Page content

Storm article statistics
Tropical cyclone scales The various agencies which report on tropical cyclones use a variety of different scales to measure the storms strength. The most familiar of these is the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale and this is the de facto standard in the project and should be used everywhere. However, as it is only official in the Atlantic and East Pacific, other local scales should be used when discussing storms in other regions and given primacy over the Saffir-Simpson Scale. The Saffir-Simpson scale is based on 1-minute averages, but other scales are generally based upon 10-minute averages, which are approximately 15% lower. This table provides a useful-at-a-glance comparison of the various scales currently in use. Further complications arise due to the fact different agencies obtain different estimates for the same storm at the same time, so be careful to use the most appropriate source agency.

I am a bit taken aback by Brion's response, and was wondering if there is any recourse from here?

Template:GA-Class Full-protectionI noticed you protected the template Template:GA-Class along with the other quality-scale indicators. I personally feel this is a mistake, since although it is a "high risk" template (included on hundreds of thousands of articles), it is also quite hidden from access. To know it exists you would have to know quite well how to dissect templates and inclusions, something that is above 99.9% of vandals (if not 100%).

The first in my family came in 1786, and he was at the time the most important merchant in the Rio de la Plata (Gaspar de Santa Coloma). There is a book from a recognized biographer, expert in history, regarding his memories (Enrique de Gandía, in "Buenos Aires Colonial"). Even the Residential hose for the President was donated by members of my family. And the history extends from the independence war (Colonel Brandsen and others) to the fait for the Reconquest from the morocco’s in Spain, by the year 844. Also, Bonifusus de Sancta Columba (all version of the last name), was the first person in having a Patent granted (XIII century) by Henry III. And the musician Sainte Colombe of France, is very will know. I could continue for pages, but it is not the issue here. Thanks a lot for the fit back. Perhaps I should write it in English (probably there are still some "de Sancta Columba" in UK), but I would like to avoid the same problem and have to erase everything after so much work. In addition, I would need your help fox to improve the grammar and style, if you are willing to help in such a long history, that even is related to Nessie and Arthur (indirectly). Kind regards, Tomás Santa Coloma.--Tasc1 05:08, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Besides, the attitude of the sysop, being a Judge, a person with interest in the results, also indicating that he dislike the work, and then blocking myself in the middle of the voting process, is at least a non-ethical behavior (I might be wrong, of course). Do you know if Misplaced Pages has some appeal instance that can act over Wikipedias in other languages when the administrators abuse of they power? I would really appreciate any help in this issue. I worked very hard in that page (197 kb and now I was forced to reduce it to 120 kb). Something else, one administrator said that independently of the results of the voting process, he will erase the page anyway, arguing that it does not complain with the wiki policies (without specifying which paragraphs do not). Regards. --Tasc1 04:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Move RequestWould you please move User:Storm05/Hurricane Dora (1999) onto the mainspace over the redirect. Storm05 13:41, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Wikiproject councilThe reason I reverted was because it was added by Nathannoblet, who I think intended to use it in Misplaced Pages Signpost work. If this is an internal thing, feel free to revert, but I'm still under the impression that this was his doing. Ral315 (talk) 01:22, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
From Talk:MexicoTitoxd, like I said in the discussion, I am an admin at another wikipedia , not at this wikipedia, just in case you didn't read my comment correctly and were accusing me of not having the "sysop". And at least on our wiki, admins cannot see the IPs of registered users but upon request. If that is not the case in this wiki, I would very much appreciate if you could direct me to the appropriate meta page to request that feature for our wiki. Now, if you had followed the debate you would have realized that we have been telling Alex, ever since the beginning, that there is no proof of his statement; and that the only quantitative measurement for standard of living is the HDI (which in itself is debatable) and it would prove him wrong, since Argentina's HDI is higher than that of Mexico. Therefore, the sentence had to go, and I don't think a consensus has to be reached for that, but I asked Diegou to wait for Alex to respond before making any changes so that he could provide a verifiable source for his claim. His repeated reversions to his previous statements while ignoring the debate (except for accusing me of sockpuppetry) do constitute if not vandalism (I might have exaggerated) at least a violation of basic etiquette. --Alonso 00:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
] VandalsWhoa. Loads of vandals tonight, did someone declare it a vandal holiday or something?! First time i've seen it at WikiDefcon 2. Good job with all the vandal fighting! See ya back on the RC patroling. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions! Katrina sourceHey, I tried to add, ref name="KatrinaTCR" to the 902 mbar minimum pressure value in the infobox and the template screwed up. Could you please add this citation to the infobox, it would avoid confusion. Alan.ca 04:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC) Your recent block to meSorry for my recent vandalism.

Hi there - Did you know?I added a did you know for the new tropical cyclone observation article, and then noticed you had as well. =) Which of our two entries do you think would be more interesting as a DYK?

I have asked him if he is still interested in coaching. If not, would you like a new student? Please let me know. Thanks. --Fang Aili 18:10, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Assessments section of project GuideAs the writer of the section, I thank you for the copyediting. I've never been that good a writer. The section you "nuked" was admittedly one that has never been tried to my knowledge. However, I think that I was trying to get across a hypothetical "best practice" which has never actually been tried yet. Of course, there is a very real chance it never will be tried, so it might be pointless to have it listed then. Anyway, thanks for cleaning up my often overlong run-on sentences and frequently hard-to-follow constructions. I just can't seem to get rid of them. I do try, though.

I assume that you're referring to the thumbnail at the top of the page, but that's only an auto-scaled version. The actual sister project icon would look more like this: TanyaIt was originally at User:CrazyC83/Tanya95 which has been blanked. That is where the edit history is. However, that writes off all the original Tanya articles which were later merged. Nonetheless, feel free to merge it in. CrazyC83 23:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC) Announcement

I will take a look at the article and the talk page in the next 24 hours. Unfortunately I have to go out in a couple of minutes. But it will the first thing I will do when I get back. Cheers!

These credentials lead me to think this should be a pretty key article for the tropical cyclones project, yet it is listed as only Start-class! Could you guys take a look at it? We need to make sure that our good tropical cyclones articles aren't simply a list of recent US hurricanes.... Hope you're doing well, I'm swamped with grading at the moment. Back on Misplaced Pages again soon. Walkerma 19:36, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Doria GA nomThanks for reviewing it. I addressed your concerns in the talk page and corrected the various problems. Hurricanehink (talk) 19:09, 19 December 2006 (UTC) More lake effectI'd appreciate your comments here (as Essjay pointed out, it's too old to be speedied). Thanks. Chick Bowen 00:39, 20 December 2006 (UTC) Empty summary warnings and edit conflictsI can't reproduce the problem I told you about in IRC. Maybe what I was experiencing were cache problems or something like that (or there was really a bug and now it's fixed). Here is one of the last times I remember it happening: trying to do this, I did this. If you think there can still be a bug, and can think of a series of tests to find it, I'll perform them with the help of my newly created sockpuppet. Greetings. --Angus 16:09, 20 December 2006 (UTC) Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #7Number 7, December 22, 2006 The Hurricane Herald This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. This shortened late issue covers just global tropical cyclone activity in November, to prevent the next newsletter from being too large. Tropical cyclone activity
Editorial The lateness of this edition is due to me being on an wikibreak and no-one taking up the slack. My wikibreak was the result of a lightning strike damaging my internet connection and frying my router, and the time taken for the replacement to arrive. As this issue is almost 3 weeks later than planned, only the monthly cyclone activity for November has been included. The next letter will be produced for January 7, 2006 and will be larger than normal to cover both month's Misplaced Pages news and December's tropical activity. There will be no Member or Storm of the month in January, to reduce the length; and the newsletter will return to normal in February.--Nilfanion (talk) 21:59, 22 December 2006 (UTC) AWB AccessWould you mind specifying exactly what edits you are referring to and explaining exactly what I am doing wrong? I have had no warning that I have been misusing the tool and I'm not actually using it for anything other then list sorting - I'm making manual judgements in more or less every case. May I ask what drew your attention to this? --Spartaz 09:14, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions! ++Lar: t/c 14:13, 23 December 2006 (UTC) New byte counterDo you know if there is an updated meta: help page on this feature? — xaosflux 07:01, 24 December 2006 (UTC) WP:NOT, blocking, and evasion, oh my!Forgive the title, feeling a little playful. Anyway, I would like to inquire what an editor should od if they beleive they have found a user who has been blocked (using this edit as an example), and then seemingly returns. The edits do match, as they are revertions. At this point, I am beginning to beleive the user is using the account to evade the block and reinsert the edit he apparently desperately wants included. I have tried to explain to the IP user (and most likely the registered user) that the information in the form they are submitting it is not in line with WP:NOT, an official policy. It still had no effect, and the person continued their actions The person's account (User talk:Ullr Siffson/(contribs)) appears to be a single purpose account used solely for this purpose. At the moment my tension in this matter is getting a little too high, and I am not sure why. Therefore, I wish to inquire what the proper course of action in this situation is. I am going to guess a WP:RFCU might be needed to link the user to the IP and therefore the block evasion if that is the case, but I don't want to jump to any conclusions. As of now, I have left the Alpental article alone for the moment with his edit on top, and I am going to take a day off from editing to cool off. I wish you a pleasant day, Titoxd.

Can you please do AC?Thanks. --Quentin Smith 20:47, 27 December 2006 (UTC) Connection problemsI saw your question on Village pump (technical) - beginning the evening of 22 December, morning of 23 December, I couldn't get anything to load on Misplaced Pages, although I had no problem with any other website. I turned off my firewall, and was fine. Installed a new firewall, end of problem - so I guess Misplaced Pages made a change in something the night of the 22nd that couldn't get past my firewall (I hadn't changed anything). Thought I'd mention it in case your problems started about the same time as mine did. Sandy (Talk) 03:10, 28 December 2006 (UTC) Maths and canesHey, I think we need to sit down and think about this, hopefully and prevent a lame war (though to late for that no? ;)). 130 is silly for Nora (cat 3 for a cat 4 storm) and 135 is incorrect in any mathematical sense. The only resolution I can think of that preserves mathematical integrity here and avoids the silliness is to change project-wide to the nearest unit as opposed to the nearest 5. I can't think of another way out unfortunately, how about you? Play talk-tag or chat on IRC (before 0100 UTC) - your choice.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:38, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Hmm, in this Discussion on Rita the NHC says the winds are 115 kts; the corresponding PA says near 135 mph. This intermediate advisory on Katrina uses the same phrasing for the same strength (no corresponding discussion). There is a simple way around this for the purposes of articles actually: If we use 116 kts instead of 115, the output will round up to 135 and the km/h will stay the same. That saves needing to abandon calcs (which make things so much tidier). I'm not sure what to do about this though. Getting an answer out of the NHC on this is probably the only hope of resolution...--Nilfanion (talk) 23:05, 29 December 2006 (UTC) MacHackThanks for the delete. I'm trying to get MacHack (chess) to Mac Hack, and MacHack (conference) to MacHack. Can you do this? It seems relatively uncontroversial, but I'll explain further if need be. Picaroon 06:20, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for picking up the Hurricane Katrina stuffChanging subject slightly, was the last year (2006) a very quiet hurricane season? I don't remember seeing any hurricanes in the news over this side of the pond. Any reason why that would be? Are there people commenting on it or not? Maybe I should look at 2006 Atlantic hurricane season? :-) Carcharoth 04:58, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
