Climate content check in Everglades

Howdy. I'm looking for specific help in looking over the content of the Climate section in the Everglades article. I see your name and HurricanHink's at FA reviewing and nominating climate articles... I'm not really handy with climatology issues, but I read what I could and tried my best to understand it. I'm concerned with accuracy and comprehensiveness mostly, and that what I've written is clear. Thanks for what you can do. --Moni3 (talk) 16:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you. FYI, there is a discussion about the lead sentence. Some people think the old one (without the bold title, that you objected to) is better. IMO the old one was better but I don't really have a dog in the fight. Feel free to chime in if you wish Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Roads#FA and USRD Dave (talk) 18:12, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles May Newsletter

The May Newsletter for WikiProject Good Articles has now been published. Dr. Cash (talk) 22:16, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you to all! GA Topic Do you know what a GA topic is? If you are not nodding your head, or don't know what I'm talking about, then you should pay attention to this article. There are ten GA top-level topics (but you will spot the eleventh as this article goes along). These topics are: Arts, Language and literature, Philosophy and religion, Everyday life, Social sciences and society, Geography and places, History, Engineering and technology, Mathematics, and Natural sciences. Each of these topics are further narrowed down to more specific topics. For example, Arts can be narrowed down to Art and architecture, Music, and Theatre, film and drama. But let's not get into sub-topics in this article because of its depth. Now you will probably ask, "I already knew this, so what is your point?" What I want to illustrate is that some people often forget a step when they promote an article to GA. After they have posted their review in the article talk page, added the article name to the corresponding topic in the good article page, increased the GA count by 1, and added the {{GA}} to article talk page, many reviewers tend to forget to add the topic parameter in {{GA}} or {{ArticleHistory}}. You can browse the topic parameter abbreviations at on this page as well as what each top-level GA topic means, because sometimes it can be chaotic and confusing to pick a topic. For example, should On the Origin of Species be placed under the Natural Science topic (because it's related to evolution), or under the Language and Literature topic (because it is a book)? The correct answer is to place it under Language and literature topic, because its categorization as a proper title supercedes other categories. Let's go back to the page that shows GA topics; does anyone spot the eleventh topic? Yes, Category:Uncategorized good articles is the 11th topic, only it shouldn't be there. Articles that do not have a topic parameter in either {{GA}} or {{ArticleHistory}} will be placed in this category. The topic "Uncategorized" is not very informative, is it? So if you have time, you can consider cleaning up the articles that are left in this category and move them to the appropriate category by adding a topic parameter. That's it for this month, I hope you learned a little from it. GA Sweeps Update The GA Sweeps process is progressing nicely! During the month of April, a total of 26 articles were reviewed. Of that total, 15 were found to continue to meet the GA criteria, and two were delisted. There are currently six articles that are still on hold in this process, awaiting revisions. One article was exempted from review because it was promoted to FA. Two articles were exempted from review because they were already delisted by another member in the community. We are once again recruiting new sweeps participants. Candidates should be very strong and comfortable in reviewing GA and familiar with the GA processes and criteria. If you are interested, please contact OhanaUnited for details. Did You Know... ...that there are slightly less than twice as many Good Articles as Featured Articles? ...that the total number of Good Articles and Featured Articles combined is 6,085? ...that different languages have different symbols representing GA? (Alemannic uses , Bavarian uses , Czech and French use , Estonian, Icelandic, and Swedish use , Esperanto and German use , Polish, Spanish, and Turkish use , Portuguese uses , Russian uses , Ukrainian uses ) Note: Lithuanian and Serbian have their own symbol but only uploaded locally. Other languages not listed above either have the same symbol as english or they don't have GA process. From the Editors There is currently a debate on adding a small green dot to the top right corner of all Good Articles that pass the criteria, similar to the small bronze star that is added to the top right corner of Featured Articles. Members of WikiProject Good Articles are encouraged to participate in the debate on this page. Please leave any comments or feedback regarding this issue here.

A suggestion for list of Maryland hurricanes

In your sandbox number 2, you are making a list of Maryland hurricanes. Might I suggest including the District of Columbia? In terms of area, DC is tiny compared to Maryland, and I find it hard to imagine a hurricane affecting DC and not Maryland. Having a list of Washington DC hurricanes would basically be a subset of the Maryland list. Basically, I am suggesting this because I don't see it necessary to split Maryland and DC. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 02:32, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

You could. An alternative would be seeing if a cyclone did anything notable there (eg. washing out a bridge) and then simply expanding its bulleted description. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 23:54, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I'd choose the one that includes both parts (DC and MD). If there is a short collective term for Maryland and DC together, that could be used. But I don't really have any problem with just Maryland. Need any assistance? Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 01:06, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Georges assessment

Um, this article was reviewed previously to be an A previously, and saying "I don't think this is A" does not really say what is wrong with the article. Why did you demote it? Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 02:46, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

FAC

I could use some backup on the FAC for the Super Tuesday outbreak for embolding EF ratings and and risk levels. I can't think of any way to defend it, I just know it should be done. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 00:57, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I wish you had contacted me before accepting the RfA. From our work so far, there were some important admin-related matters that you were unfamiliar with. Some of your replies to my block questions gave the impression that you still needed to learn when blocking is appropriate. I'm free now (I just finished my last final a few hours ago), so I can dedicate more time towards bringing you up to speed with all our policies. 21:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nishkid64 (talk • contribs)

Please don't feel hard done by or the like because your RfA did not succeed. Just because you felt forced to withdraw should not be seen as a rejection. Instead, see it as a challenge to prove your opposers wrong. So, don't leave Wikipedia or anything or even get ideas about leaving. You do an ideal thing in that when you edit an article, you make it better than it was before. You are an excellent example of what everyone should strive to do. Please stay here and keep up the good article work. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 22:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

The iconography of it all

How do you code the GA, etc., icons on the top of your main page like that? It would shorten my userpage significantly if I knew how to do that. Thegreatdr (talk) 13:36, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the help...it is done. I like that it goes down the right side of the page like that. =) Thegreatdr (talk) 14:28, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Why are you putting it uppercase at Template:Resolved comments?

If you do this, then people who use the parameter in lowercase will not be able to use it. That is why most templates use lowercase for parameters. Gary King (talk) 21:47, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

AWB

Have you used AWB before? I'm going to make a major change to the template and it'd be helpful if you could change the pages that are currently using the template by using the tool. Gary King (talk) 21:39, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to break {{rc}} and build it back up from scratch, which will definitely break pages using it. Go through [1] and you can fix them by replacing {{resolved comments}} with {{rcold}}. Gary King (talk) 21:44, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I strongly don't recommend that. If the template is used on less than 500 pages, I would consider it not under heavy usage. We can leave it on archived pages, but probably fix it on active pages. Gary King (talk) 21:50, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I guess you just want the username but no formatting? Signing would be easiest for people to use since for those with long usernames, it can be quite the pain to type out. Gary King (talk) 21:53, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean? If a user signs, then the timestamp is there. I don't see what the problem with using that is? Gary King (talk) 03:41, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Juliancolton. I see that a newly registered user is vandalising your userpage. Have you ever thought about requesting your page to be protected? If you were to have an admin protect your userpage, I would suggest semi-protecting, because then, only accounts older than four days can edit it.

Hi there. It has come to my attention that you want NYS Route 21A (page) To Be deleted. I, however realize why you determine it's this haox of rumor.

As discussed at WT:USRD, the participants list at WP:USRD is being split by state. Due to any of the following factors- your extended participation in WT:USRD discussions, your IRC participation, or your extended participation in Shields or Maps, I have guessed that you are a nationwide editor and have designated you as such in the USRD partiicpants table. This is part of the lengthy process. If this is in error, please let me know immediately. This is especially likely with this group as I have to guess whether you are a national or a state editor.

David 1979

Not much to look up. The Daily Weather Maps during the period in question show that Buffalo received 0.05" of rainfall during David's passage. Unless it fell within 10 minutes, the rainfall was unlikely to be heavy since heavy rainfall is defined by US METAR code as a rate of at least 0.30" per hour.

Gracie

The things in brackets are for disambiguation. "Deserving the main article" as a rule is something that makes sense in the case of new Katrina. However, when a storm name is used once and only once and is not on the current lists so will not be used again. Therefore Hurricane Gracie uniquely defines one storm. Therefore disambiguation is not necessary. Common sense trumps WPTC anyday. Think: If the "main article" redirects to an alternative with (brackets) and there is no possible confusion, there is no need for the redirect. Storms aren't people "they" don't deserve a thing.--CycloneAlley (talk) 02:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Thats called being stupid. Try to remember: this is Wikipedia not WikiProject Tropical cyclones. Wikipedia-wide rules trump WikiProjects, like an king beats a three. The not-deserving-main-article-thing applies for storms on CURRENT lists. As Gracie is not there, why does it need to be bracketed? Tell me! Try to think and apply some common sense, instead of quoting WPTC guidelines.--CycloneAlley (talk) 02:13, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

OK take back the first sentence. Then read what I said and think before you reply, instead of saying "WPTC says A, so A is all that is allowed".--CycloneAlley (talk) 02:19, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Hurricane Gracie wasn't retired, what does that have to do with anything? A (year in brackets) is for disambiguation, not to say the storm is not "deserving" of the "main article". Tell me why non-retired storms need the year in the title? Oh if thats the case, how come Nargis, Gonu and Agni have their "main" articles? Those names are not and never will be retired either, so they should be at Cyclone Nargis (2008), Cyclone Gonu (2007), Cyclone Agni (2004) if this convention really was sensible.--CycloneAlley (talk) 02:32, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

How is this vandalism????

How does adding an approved placeholder image to a template constitute vandalism? the purpose of the image s to solicit the addition of properly licensed images to articles, which no one in there right mind couldf have objection to. _64.32.189.89 (talk) 03:09, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:CSD#U1

Hi Julian,

I just deleted a bunch of pages per your request, but I wanted to drop a quick note and let you know that there were some unintended consequences. Apparently, a number of the pages you requested be deleted have been transcluded on other pages, which means that by nominating these pages for deletion you also inadvertently added those other pages to CAT:USD. It's not a big problem, of course--nothing got deleted that shouldn't have been, and the category will sort itself out--but I thought I'd let you know that in the future, you might want to either avoid transcluding personal subpages (particularly into articles) or simply slap a pair of <noinclude> </noinclude> tags around the CSD notice to prevent it from being transcluded. Thanks! --jonny-mt 16:30, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Template problem

The speedy deletion of one of your user subpages has caused several users’ talk pages and/or archives to be listed for speedy deletion. You might want to take a look at this list and remove the offending links. Thanks —Travis^talk 16:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

List of New England Patriots head coaches

Can I ask you to do a review of List of New England Patriots head coaches, as you have done to some of my other FLC's? Thanks again, « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie ^{( talk / contribs)} 18:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Done with this FLC. I didn't expand the lead with team history (as I already had the basics about the Bengals in the beginning). There wasn't much I could expand as they only had 9 coaches, I also took care of the red links. Thanks, « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie 20:34, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Request for Peer Review help

Thank you for you work as a peer review volunteer. Since March, there has been a concerted effort to make sure all peer review requests get some response. Requests that have gone three days or longer without a substantial response are listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog. I have three requests to help this continue.

1) If you are asked to do a peer review, please ask the person who made the request to also do a review, preferably of a request that has not yet had feedback. This is fairly simple, but helps. For example when I review requests on the backlog list, I close with Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, ...

2) While there are several people who help with the backlog, lately I have been doing up to 3 or 4 peer reviews a day and can not keep this up much longer. We need help. Since there are now well over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, if each volunteer reviewed just one PR request without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog. To help spread out the load, I suggest those willing pick a day of the month and do a review that day (for example, my first edit was on the 8th, so I could pick the 8th). Please pick a peer review request with no responses yet, if possible off the backlog list. If you want, leave a note on my talk page as to which day you picked and I will remind you each month.

3) I have made some proposals to add some limits to peer review requests at Wikipedia_talk:Peer_review#Proposed_limits. The idea is to prevent any one user from overly burdening the process. These seem fairly reasonable (one PR request per editor per day, only four total PR requests per editor at a time, PR requests with cleanup banners can be delisted (like GAN quick fail), and wait two weeks to relist a PR request after it is archived), but have gotten no feedback in one week. If you have any thoughts on these, please weigh in.

Thanks again for your help and in advance for any assistance with the backlog. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 21:36, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks so much for your review and the offer to help, they are both much appreciated.
• Per your comment on the Cogan House Covered Bridge I wanted to mention that I find some of my obscure sources via the internet - although the two Lycoming County historical society journals are not online, their tables of contents are and I can search them fairly easily with Google (then go to libraries that have the issues). Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 01:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

• • I have also had some luck hunting through newspaper archives on microfilm when I know an approximate date (and so range) to look in. One library I use has an index to the local newpaper articles online too, although they miss things sometimes too. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 01:51, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

NY 311 and other Putnam/Dutchess photos

Julian,

A while back you asked if I had any photos of NY 311. I didn't then, but I went out that way with my son last weekend and took a whole bunch (also see my additions to my suggested photos at Talk:New York State Route 22). Among them are the view looking north up the causeway over Lake Carmel from the junction, and a view down 52 heading into the junction showing the lake and causeway ... the last photo I really wanted for that article.

I also got one of downtown Patterson. It will be a while till I get them uploaded, but I've got them now. Daniel Case (talk) 18:12, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

They've answered our question

It looks like in the new GA review format, as many people as possible get to review the article, and the decision to pass it lies with the first reviewer. I'm imagining this will slow down the review process, but it does clarify things regarding multiple reviewers of an article. Thegreatdr (talk) 18:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

GA subpage

Because GA nominations are now on a subpage, there's no way to access it after the bot archives it. I was able to fix the temporary Failed GA template, but when the bot archives it there's no way to go to the subpage again. Can this be fixed?

Track images

Just upload the new track over the same image. It keeps things organized. Thanks. -CWY2190(talk • contributions) 18:15, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

One more thing on Commons, don't put Category:2008 Pacific hurricane season on images. Use this one instead. That way we have all of 01E images in one category and not hundreds of images from 20 storms all together. -CWY2190(talk • contributions) 22:21, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I forgot you can't move the category. Hmm. Next time we can wait until the storm is done, or the category could just be 01E. -CWY2190(talk • contributions) 23:39, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
