The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary, both of the activities of the WikiProject and global tropical cyclone activity. 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
New articles and improvements wanted
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 
New and improved articles
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.

Ralbot 05:17, 7 November 2006 (UTC) [edit] Anthropology projectI have communicated with The Ungovernable Force regarding the proposed anthropology project which you indicated an interest in, and have gotten the OK from him to move the project into wiki-space and make it active. He indicated that he is busy in school right now, but will be as active as he can be given that. The project page as it now exists is only a minimum page, and could use the input of interested parties such as yourself. Personally, I did noticably poorly in the one cultural anthropology class I took in college, so I'm bowing out of this one, but wish you and the other members of the project the best of luck with it. Thank you. Badbilltucker 21:47, 8 November 2006 (UTC) [edit] Signpost updated for November 13th.

Ralbot 05:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC) [edit] People From New JerseyYeah I know I had no idea what I was doing, and once I did it I had no idea on how to go back and fix it. Wiki is still all new territory for me, I usually just chat on forums and stuff of that sort, so I had no idea what I was doing or how to fix it. Oh, and sorry if I again posted this in the wrong section you have so many pages i dont know where to post anything because its all so complicated but whateverr. --MyChemical 19:47, 15 November 2006 (UTC) [edit] African military history task forceAnything particular you have an interest into? The Garamantes for example could need an expansion. They ruled the Sahara desert and had some reported wars with the Romans and the Islamic Empire. Due to climatic changes the Sahara today is not as inhabitable as during their reign. The change probably hinderd the Romans from effectively conquering them and thus the Romans did not invade the lands south of the Sahara. Best to describe the Garamentes as cattle keeping ranchers on light chariots armed with bows. They aslo had some irrigation farming and towns, but likely retained their immense wealth from the trade through their territory and kidnapping farmers living in the regions around them. So if you are interested, the current article could be expanded and some meteorological influence on the development of human society added. Just imagine the Romans would have been able to invade Western Africa. Greatings Wandalstouring 23:36, 19 November 2006 (UTC) [edit] Tagging articlesAny article related to this task force should be marked by adding African-task-force=yes to the {{WPMILHIST|class = NA}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:African military history task force articles. Greatings Wandalstouring 23:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC) [edit] Signpost updated for November 20th.

I can't promise anything spectacular but I'll keep it in mind whenever I pick up something new in the language. http://www.afrikaans.us is the best site I know of for Afrikaans language resources, BTW, especially the part with the songs and lyrics even if most of them aren't the kind of music I like.

[edit] Admin coaching, etc.
Are you ready to get started?
The waiting time over at Admin coaching is long (some people have been waiting in line since July). I'm an admin coach with the project, and for my students I set up a group discussion page so that we could all learn from each other. The scope of this concept has expanded into the Virtual classroom, which is an open forum for the teaching and learning of advanced Wikipedia skills.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate, as a student, as a coach, or both. Every week or two a new major topic of discussion or classroom assignment is introduced, usually with a guest writer who presents his or her expertise on the current subject and who remains on hand to answer questions. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the discussions, such as sharing your expertise, asking and answering questions, etc.
The current topic of discussion is vandalism, and our guest writer is Budgiekiller.
All discussions are open-ended, so all previous discussion topics and classroom assignments are still there for viewing and further participation. There are also sections for posting miscellaneous topics and questions, requesting coaching assistance, etc.
In addition to inviting those who would like to learn, I routinely invite experts from all over Wikipedia to come and contribute for the benefit of all. The VC is rapidly turning into a clearing house of the best resources, methods, and techniques known for working on Wikipedia.
You are cordially invited to participate.
Here's an announcement box which you can place on your userpage or at the top of your talk page for keeping up to date with classroom assignments.
I hope to see you there. Sincerely, The Transhumanist 08:17, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
