DYK

(RattleMan's Note: See here for the DYK as it appeared on May 1st.)

Updated DYK query Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Cyclone Mala, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Re:Disaster has struck

Whew! Really, Thanx. I'll tell hink. I think hes talkin to the guys there, via e-mail. →Cyclone1→ 05:28, 6 May 2006 (UTC) [reply]

That's different. Earlier last night, no individual links were working. I went through some of the uploaded images and the link directly to where I got them from, and none of them worked. Thanks for the update. Hurricanehink 12:57, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi RattleMan,

I replied on my talk page. Thanks for the fix. --Gennaro Prota (talk) 11:00, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

2006 Pacific hurricanes

It was me (logged out at school) you reverted at the 2006 Pacific hurricane season article. IIRC, the Pacific season ended at midnight Pacific time last year, so shouldn't it therefore start at midnight Pacific time too? NSLE (T+C) at 09:49 UTC (2006-05-15)

Random userpage stuff

Yeah, that article was what I was thinking of, and thanks for the suggestion to link to the previous version; I didn't think of that. Happy editing! --AySz88^-^ 19:50, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm impressed

My how word gets around around here. I just took a little break. I left a long winded update on Hink's talk page, you might want to read it. I was actually just passing through an saw a typo. I didn't know we had someone behind the cameras, so to speak. How have things been? -- §HurricaneERIC§Damagesarchive 02:21, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's in Georgia. Thanks. -- §HurricaneERIC§Damagesarchive 03:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PYL edit

Sorry about that. I didnt know if that should of been deleted or not. If I see something that I think is questionable or trolling, ill go to a mod. PYLrulz 10:24, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

3RR

Reverting simple vandalism does not count towards 3RR, however if you need the article s-protected, ask. NSLE (T+C) at 01:00 UTC (2006-05-25)

Caption cleanup

Hey Rattle, I noticed we both were stuck cleaning up the mess of User:69.118.94.155, who removed the captions from all the lead image in both dozens of Nintendo and Sonic articles. Since some articles have had this done twice, I reccommend automatic addition to WP:AIV to save every sometime. Cheers, Highway Rainbow Sneakers 23:42, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't any point really, the last time I nominated a user, the nom was knocked back because they hadn't vandalized in 4 hours or something obscure. If we does it once again notify me and I'll put him straight up. Highway Rainbow Sneakers 00:05, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal

The vandal on your our userpages was blocked. DGX 07:31, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think he's trying some misconstrued revenge against all of us, he did the same thing to my talk page, user page and Esperanza. Blocked now, Highway Rainbow Sneakers 08:17, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thanks for reverting vandalism on my userpage. :) -- Shizane talkcontribs 07:42, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose they were angry I reverted one of their vandalism edits back on May 12th and left them a warning. It seemed like they went on quite the userpage vandalizing spree. I notice he got you and a few others too. -- Shizane talkcontribs 07:52, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Oracledelphius.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Oracledelphius.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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. 23:08, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

How silly of me, I forgot to put the license tag! -- RattleMan 23:37, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: "A set of screenshots"

I'm just looking for a visual overview of SM, perhaps with screenshots of two or three major events in the anime.  Denelson83  06:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let's see...
  • From episode #46-ja: The group shot of the Senshi with Princess Serenity in the middle
  • A portrait shot of Queen Beryl
  • From episode #31-en: A two-shot of Serenity giving Endymion her musical locket
  • From episode #201-ja: The end shot of #1's transformation sequence
Please note that in the Japanese television versions, any episode number from 1 to 200 refers to the anime, with 201 to 249 referring to the live-action adaptation. --  Denelson83  15:21, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article formatting

Dear Tropical cyclone editor,

As a member of the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject, you are receiving this message to describe how you can better tropical cyclone articles. There are hundreds of tropical cyclone articles, though many of them are poorly organized and lacking in information. Using the existing featured articles as a guide line, here is the basic format for the ideal tropical cyclone article.

  1. Infobox- Whenever possible, the infobox should have a picture for the tropical cyclone. The picture can be any uploaded picture about the storm, though ideally it should be a satellite shot of the system. If that is not available, damage pictures, either during the storm or after the storm, are suitable. In the area that says Formed, indicate the date on which the storm first developed into a tropical depression. In the area that says Dissipated, indicate the date on which the storm lost its tropical characteristics. This includes when the storm became extratropical, or if it dissipated. If the storm dissipated and reformed, include the original start date and the final end date. Highest winds should be the local unit of measurement for speed (mph in non-metric countries, km/h in metric countries), with the other unit in parenthesis. The lowest pressure should be in mbars. Damages should, when available, be in the year of impact, then the present year. The unit of currency can be at your discretion, though typically it should be in USD. Fatalities indicate direct deaths first, then indirect deaths. Areas affected should only be major areas of impact. Specific islands or cities should only be mentioned if majority of the cyclone's effects occurred there.
  2. Intro- The intro for every article should be, at a minimum, 2 paragraphs. For more impacting hurricanes, it should be 3. The first should describe the storm in general, including a link to the seasonal article, its number in the season, and other statistics. The second should include a brief storm history, while the third should be impact.
  3. Storm history- The storm history should be a decent length, relatively proportional to the longevity of the storm. Generally speaking, the first paragraph should be the origins of the storm, leading to the system reaching tropical storm status. The second should be the storm reaching its peak. The third should be post-peak until landfall and dissipation. This section is very flexible, depending on meteorological conditions, but it should generally be around 3. Storm histories can be longer than three paragraphs, though they should be less than five. Anything more becomes excessive. Remember, all storm impacts, preparations, and records can go elsewhere. Additional pictures are useful here. If the picture in the infobox is of the storm at its peak, use a landfall picture in the storm history. If the picture in the infobox is of the storm at its landfall, use the peak. If the landfall is its peak, use a secondary peak, or even a random point in the storm's history.
  4. Preparations- The preparations section can be any length, depending on the amount of preparations taken by people for the storm. Hurricane watches and warnings need to be mentioned here, as well as the number of people evacuated from the coast. Include numbers of shelters, and other info you can find on how people prepared for the storm.
  5. Impact- For landfalling storms, the impact section should be the majority of the article. First, if the storm caused deaths in multiple areas, a death table would work well in the top level impact section. A paragraph of the general effects of the storm is also needed. After the intro paragraph, impact should be broken up by each major area. It depends on the information, but sections should be at least one paragraph, if not more. In the major impact areas, the first paragraph should be devoted to meteorological statistics, including rainfall totals, peak wind gusts on land, storm surge, wave heights, beach erosion, and tornadoes. The second should be actual damage. Possible additional paragraphs could be detailed information on crop damage or specifics. Death and damage tolls should be at the end. Pictures are needed, as well. Ideally, there would be at least one picture for each sub-section in the impact, though this sometimes can't happen. For storms that impact the United States or United States territories, this site can be used for rainfall data, including an image of rainfall totals.
  6. Aftermath- The aftermath section should describe foreign aid, national aid, reconstruction, short-term and long-term environmental effects, and disease. Also, the storm's retirement information, whether it happened or not, should be mentioned here.
  7. Records- This is optional, but can't hurt to be included.
  8. Other- The ideal article should have inline sourcing, with the {{cite web}} formatting being preferable. Always double check your writing and make sure it makes sense.

Good luck with future writing, and if you have a question about the above, don't hesitate to ask.

CHANGE IT!!

Currently Nicktoons network is NOT BRODCASTING THE WILD THORNBERRYS!!! Or some other shows like Catscratch that is on the Nicktoons network page. It is FALSE INFO! THIS IS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.191.206.134 (talk • contribs)

I'm not the one who did that. Some other person did that and I tried to fix it, but he kept changing it back. When leaving a message on a talkpage, please use ~~~~ to sign your IP and timestamp. Also, please don't type in all-caps. Thanks! -- RattleMan 22:01, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #1

(RattleMan's note: The newsletter was removed due to it breaking the format of my custom talkpage. See below for a link to the actual newletter.)

Sure, I'll test it out... Change to the second option on the list?--Nilfanion (talk) 00:09, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

At this time the link is The newsletter page (the archive is the source but the current issue is what you received) - the first one is getting spammed to maximize publicity - with any luck will figure out why the format breaks custom talk pages... (I KNEW there would be some teething probs lol).--Nilfanion (talk) 00:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just so you know, I managed to sort out the newsletters formatting so it works not on your talk page (I forgot to close a div...)--Nilfanion (talk) 08:39, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks for saying that :)--Nilfanion (talk) 09:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just a thing I'm doing. However there have been some discssions at Wikipedia:Trivia. Rich Farmbrough 14:08 8 June 2006 (UTC).

Could you clean up your test subpage please? It shouldn't be in the categories really.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:45, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it doesn't really matter that much, it just seems a little odd.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:59, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

{{Infobox hurricane small}}

Well, the image for TD10 does not appear for me, but the one for TD19 does, as well as the images in 2006 Pacific hurricane season. There's been some site-wide issues related to thumbnails from Commons, and I've asked about it at WP:VPT, so I believe it is short-term only. Titoxd(?!?) 04:23, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As the old thumbnails are still in cache, it should have solved the problem. Reuploading as JPG could help too, but it would decrease the quality of the images. At the same time, Tim Starling is working on it, so it might be unnecessary after all. Not sure. Titoxd(?!?) 04:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They've killed the List of famous failures in science and engineering! You Bastards!!

Mmx1 is taking the fight that I have over the F-14 and F-111 to the failure page, and he has nominated them for deletion. The wiki-thugs are all voting to delete the page. Mmx1 has reversed the F-14 page to state that it is not, and has never been designed as a maneuverable air superiority fighter, and is not accepting any contrary citations up to and including a F-14 test pilot, Janes Defence, and Aviation Week. He is apparently taking revenge against other pages. Please go to the deletion page and tell the administrators what is going on. Look at the patterns of MMx. He regular accuses others of gross misinformation and summarily reverts most edits as a self-appointed judge of all truth, but in fact should not be allowed this leeway. --matador300 11:01, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on Tullece

I changed the titles to the English translations as you suggested, since that's policy where available. This way, readers won't confuse the dub title for the actual translation, so it probably works out even better. Voice of Treason 07:48, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

HOW THE HELL CAN YOU SAY THAT, LOL. I really do think my version of Alex is better. Now for a brief second will you leave my version there until hink can decide (he is the only person that has taken the time to write back to me so let him decide) if my version sucks or not. Also, your literate enough to help me sign up on your special project for hurricanes. Hink invited me so now i need help actually becoming an active member.
