Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #5

Number 5, October 1, 2006

The Hurricane Herald

This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. 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.

"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

• 4 hurricanes formed in the Atlantic: Hurricane Florence, Hurricane Gordon, Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Isaac. Florence affected Bermuda and Newfoundland, and Gordon had effects in the Azores and Europe. Isaac is currently forecast to affect Newfoundland as an extratropical storm.
• The east Pacific saw three hurricanes and a tropical storm develop. Hurricane John and Hurricane Lane were both major hurricanes which hit Mexico, whilst Hurricane Kristy and Tropical Storm Miriam stayed clear of land. In addition, two tropical depressions formed in the Central Pacific.
• There were 4 typhoons in west Pacific during September. Typhoon Shanshan, Typhoon Yagi and Typhoon Xangsane formed in the west Pacific and Typhoon Ioke entered the basin from the east. Shanshan killed at least 9 people in Japan and Typhoon Xangsane, which is still active, killed at least 72 in the Philippines.
• Two tropical cyclones formed in the North Indian Ocean during September. Severe Cyclonic Storm Mukda formed in the Arabian Sea but did not affect land and Tropical Cyclone 05B formed in the Bay of Bengal before making landfall in India. However, the deadliest tropical system of September was a depression in the Bay of Bengal that killed more than 170 people in Bangladesh.

Wikipedia:Wikiproject SpongeBob SquarePants

This project is currently up for deletion at WP:MFD. As a signed up member perhaps you'd like to give your opinion. Cheers, Yomangani^talk 12:22, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Esperanza!

Welcome, Icelandic Hurricane, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

Regarding the SpongeBob WikiProject

Attention, member of Wikiproject SpongeBob SquarePants. This project is up for deletion at this page. ForestH2 has become a sockpuppeter and is being blocked from Wikipedia. So, he will most likely not return. (along with his sockpuppets.) The board of the project has been very controversal. I am removing the board (as it is contoversal and wont really matter) as a result. This project can improve if it can undergo clean-up (which i am in the process of) But, most of all, it needs to be kept. So, I hope you can support this project from its time of inactivity and save it from deletion, then we can continue to improve SpongeBob SquarePants articles. I would hope that you would support with me, but please voice your opinion by clicking here: Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Wikiproject SpongeBob SquarePants. Thank-you. -AMK152 17:02, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 02:41, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Eragon (character)

You have had Eragon on the list on thw WP:WPIT project page as long as I can remember for "flow of thoughts regarding...". Would you mind if I just went through and did a complete rewrite on it using the categories for which you asked? --teh tennisman ^{Speak your piece!}_{People person!FREE STUFF CLICK HERE} 19:33, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

also, how do you make a menu that shows all of your sub-userpages (music, nor'easters, etc)?--teh tennisman ^{Speak your piece!}_{People person!FREE STUFF CLICK HERE} 19:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

yeah, i heard from someone else how to do the menu. and I don't have time to do eragon now, so expect it sometime either this or next weekend when I have more time away from school. --teh tennisman ^{Speak your piece!}_{People person!FREE STUFF CLICK HERE} 22:16, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Rewriting of Eragon

I have done a small amount of the rewrite over at my sandbox. Could you take a look, making whatever edits are needed in the first few paragraphs, then leave me a note on my talk page? I hope I am doing it how you meant. Thanks, --teh tennisman ^{Speak your piece!}_{People person!FREE STUFF CLICK HERE} 23:13, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject query

Hi there, I am doing some clean up on the list of proposed WikiProjects. I noticed that WikiProject Baltic States has been listed for more than 60 days. Unless you object, I would like to remove it from the list since it is unlikely to receive further feedback. Thanks! --Aguerriero (talk) 17:54, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka

Thank you very much for your support in my RfA. Unfortunately consensus was not reached, and the nomination was not successful. I do however very much appreciate your comments. I am still very much in support of the Wikipedia project, and will continue to contribute without interruption. Thanks again! --Elonka 08:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

My sandbox article

Hi. Thanks for putting a comment in my subpage article talk page, and posting links from WikiNews. I have posted them on the external links section. Now my article is much longer than before. Again, thanks for the links! AstroHurricane001 21:41, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

My Chemical Romance

What song is that quote on your page from? Is it from their new album? →Cyclone1→ 17:38, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, thanks. I'm creating a menu to go on the top of all my pages, and I added a MCR quote from their new cd. You inspired me. lol. →Cyclone1→ 18:39, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to blow your bubble here, guys, but I'm concerned about copyright violation with lyrics on userpages. Please clear it with an admin, just to be safe. – Chacor 12:52, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

The MCR Project

I would just like to ask if I can join your MCR Wiki:Project I am making an article for The Patient right now. If I can may I suggest a task for putting a section of The Patient's Story on The Sharpest Lives and Teenagers as they are the only ones without a story article.

Can anyone put on open tasks on the main WP:MCR page or just you. If just you can I suggest a task for making a section of 'The Patient's Story' or how it ties into the rest of the album. Then add it onto The Patient page. Also adding the three pictures of the patient - The two from the album art (1-real 2-cartoon) and from the Welcome To The Black Parade video

Re:Whoa

Yep, I made my first anonymous edit on Christmas, and made an account a few hours later. You probably didn't recognize me until a while later because I wasn't very active in editing pages, and because you joined the Wikiproject a lot earlier than I did. →Cyclone1→ 01:06, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
