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)

Thanks for the Barnstar and the kind words. It was fun to write that article, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.Dave (talk) 05:33, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Hurricane Madeline (1998)

On 4 May, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Hurricane Madeline (1998), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

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)

RfA time

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)

Your RfA etc

Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend and remember :"All men are created equal, but ambition, or lack of it, soon separates them." Cheers, and happy editing!

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)

Tropical cyclones

I was looking for things to create, but can't seem to find anything. What do you think is the project's most needed article (preferably a storm). STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Irish!} 22:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I would have expanded the article, but I had events going on (you beat me to it). I'm getting excited for hurricane season (only about three weeks left!). STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Irish!} 00:18, 10 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)

RFPP

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. If you request PP, then it will possibly prevent him from vandalising your userpage. Thanks! SchfiftyThree 22:27, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Record locator

I've reverted this to its last good version and removed the speedy- remember to check article histories before tagging. J Milburn (talk) 19:56, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

TfD

I asked that it not be used because it includes no sig and can be used disruptively; it is being used in FACs, creating extra work.

TfD nomination of Template:Resolved comments

Template:Resolved comments has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. — SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:03, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Julian, I explained in several places that this redundant template would be disruptive at FAC because it doesn't include a signature or timestamp, and I asked that MFC's script not be used; it is being used. I have no recourse but to TfD. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:17, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry to have to do that, Julian, but comments that are capped without a sig just create too much potential for abuse and a problem. Thanks for understanding. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:32, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
