[edit] 2005 Atl. Hurrican Season
About your question here, I'm not sure why the above link says eighth. This official report from the end of the season says Beta is the seventh major storm. Indeed, I only count 7: Dennis, Emily, Katrina, Maria, Rita, Wilma, and Beta. --Spiffy sperry 14:00, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:02L.Beryl5Daycurrent.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:02L.Beryl5Daycurrent.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Malkin/Morozov
I'm aware that Alexei Morozov was drafted by the Penguins (although, by that logic, Malkin was already "in" the NHL last season, also having been drafted by the Penguins), and that he also played several seasons for the Penguins (which might give you a stronger claim). But the way it's worded isn't "best player who's never played an NHL game" or "best player who was drafted and actually signed a contract with an NHL team." In any case, the point is moot, as he's now played in part of an NHL (preseason) game. Geoffrey Spear 02:14, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help with RFC
Hello there, sorry for the form-letter post.... I am writing you because your interest in the collection of articles around HRM and Halifax.
I have recently lodged a Request for Comments on the Talk:Halifax, Nova Scotia page. I and several other editors have had a running dispute with user Lonewolf BC. The RFC is This is a dispute about whether it is accurate to continue to refer to the area of or approximately coinciding with the boundaries of the City of Halifax, which became a part of the rural/urban Halifax Regional Municipality in 1996, as a city.
Basically, as I say on the RFC, we all agree that this is no longer a City, but to use former City's boundaries when describing the current urban area as a "city" (note the lower case) is at best arbitrary and at worst a fabrication. The city is now a continuous area that wraps the harbour, from Portuguese Cove (outside of the city of Halifax to the west and south) to Cole Harbour (outside of the former City of Dartmouth to the east). People now refer to the entire urban area of Halifax Regional Municipality as 'the city' and 'Halifax'.
Anyway, the bottom line is at least five people have tried to change the wording of the intro since January, and every time this one user changes it back. I have tried to come up with compromise wording, and he won't dialog. Right now wikipedia says HRM and Halifax are the capital of Nova Scotia. This article is now factually incorrect, in my opinion, and I need your help, please chime in. WayeMason 23:14, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
