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. Storm of the month Severe Tropical Storm Bilis was a damaging tropical storm that caused significant damage to areas of southeastern China, the Philippines and Taiwan. The fourth named storm of the 2006 Pacific typhoon season formed to the east of the Philippines on July 8 and moved towards Taiwan, strengthening as it did so. It reached its peak strength of 110 km/h (70 mph) on July 13, shortly before it made its first landfall on northern Taiwan. Bilis then made a second landfall in Fujian, China on July 14 after officials evaucated over 1 million residents from the areas in the storm's path. The remnant lasted for several days after landfall and brought heavy rain to inland China. The most significant damage occurred in Hunan, where heavy flooding and mudslides destroyed over 31,000 homes and killed 345. Despite never reaching typhoon strength, the storm was responsible for $2.5 billion in damage and at least 625 fatalities in total.Other tropical cyclone activity There were 10 other tropical cyclones worldwide in July, with activity in all 4 northern hemisphere basins.

Useful sources of tropical cyclone information The following organizations provide helpful information for writing about tropical cyclones, both past and present.
In his April Tropical Cyclone Summary, Gary Padgett stated that he will extensively reference Wikipedia in his future summaries. I have communicated with him and he has stated that he is "very much interested in cooperating" with us. He has also provided me with a copy of Jack Beven's weekly summaries (covering 1991-1996). If you want a copy of them, email me.--Nilfanion (talk) Re:An Even Younger UserThanks for that, I'll make sure I add it on my almanac subpage. And also, have a great wikibreak, it was sure nice knowing you. Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody 08:31, 7 August 2006 (UTC) DYKSignpost updated for August 7th

Chacor 16:39, 8 August 2006 (UTC) GHe's RfAWhy I left WikipediaHi Icelandic Hurricane. The reason why I left the English Wikipedia is a couple reasons. 1, I was blocked for 12 hours by UkPaolo for no reason at all. I decided that it would be good to be in another language editing; but I haven't made much contributons to simple. 2, Many users were threating me a lot and 3, I left on account of being bothered by User:Russoc4 and User:Apostrophe. I then wanted to return, I did and I returned for a couple weeks and then decided that this was the worst encylopedia ever and switched to simple. I've been very busy and haven't gotten much time to work on simple but I like the way simple is. Yes, most reasons were with the Harry Potter Wikiproject and sadly I don't know if I'm returning. I just thought I should leave this message here. If you want to reply to me leave a message at simple:User talk:ForestH2, I'll respond much quicker and I'll leave a message on your simple english page. Regards, ForestH2 t/c 15:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC) RfA?Would you like it if I nominated you for administration? You're an experienced editor (in addition to having Template:User wikipedia/Administrator someday), and I'm sure you'd gain lots of support. Please reply, either on this page or on my talk page. --Gray Porpoise 16:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Icelandic, don't be suprised if you get lots of "strong opposes" and "suggest withdrawal" on the RfA. With minimal edits in XFDs, no RC patrolling and the like I wouldn't be at all suprised. Remember what happened with Hink?--Nilfanion (talk) 19:32, 11 August 2006 (UTC) To maximize RfA support, you should start working on more extensive answers to the questions. Let me know if you need help with that. --Gray Porpoise 19:38, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, word of free adviseI would not do this. Some on the past have seen thissort of thing as vote stacking. Cheers. :) Dlohcierekim 20:19, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I liked it"Too bad I can't add this, but we have our first indirect injury from Beryl, me! I fell off my bike and hurt myself pretty bad, and I wouldn't have been riding home if it weren't for Beryl. So I thought I'd just let somebody know." I giggled. Not because you hurt yourself (I hope you've healed by now), but because it was meant lightly. So, just thought I'd let you know someone appreciated it in the spirit it was intended. TransUtopian 23:19, 11 August 2006 (UTC) Your sandboxHey, you might want to reconsider how you actually make up your articles when working in your sandbox. Doing it all on one page makes for a series of nearly impossible to fix cut and paste moves, which has legal issues associated with it. What would be better is if you worked them up in a series of seperate pages User:Icelandic Hurricane/Sandbox/Typhoon Patsy (1970), User:Icelandic Hurricane/Sandbox/Tropical Storm Hermine (1970) and so on. That enables you to move the pages to article space when you have finished writing them. If you want them all viewable on the same page then transclude them into the Sandbox page. The content of your sandbox would then look like this: {{User:Icelandic Hurricane/Sandbox/Typhoon Patsy (1970)}} {{User:Icelandic Hurricane/Sandbox/Tropical Storm Hermine (1970)}} You could then use the Javascript to wrap around the archived ones like you are doing - except this would enable the moving of articles properly. Thanks.--Nilfanion (talk) 00:22, 12 August 2006 (UTC) TemplatesOn your RfA, you asked if there's a template for warning vandals. There are many, which can be found at Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace. --Gray Porpoise 13:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Your RfAPlease see my comments (support vote #11) on your RfA page, please. If you have any questions let me know. Newyorkbrad 17:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC) Tropical Storm BerylThere is no rainfall to work up. The highest amount was under 1". I might produce a page for it, but it would not have a rainfall graphic.

You don't have to answer, but I would like to know how old are you. I am actually only just turned 17, so I am not as young as you! Anyways, reply to me soon. RaNdOm26 16:30, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

IRCYou need an IRC client to use IRC. If you're using a web browser to access the Your RfAYour RfA just failed. The primary reason that people, including me, voted against you was "weak answers to questions" or not using edit summaries enough, or both. While I can't really help you make better answers to your questions, I can help you use edit summaries all the time. In your preferences, go to the "Editing" tab. There should be a check box that says something like "prompt me when I don't leave an edit summary". If you check that box and save your preferences, you will get a notice that will tell you to use an edit summary. If you use that option and write better answers, I have no doubt that you will become an administrator. I recommend waiting a while before going back to RfA.

User:Icelandic Hurricane/Wikipedia: WikiProject Pearl JamHi IH, the above page was listed for speedy deletion under R1 by another user. Please let me know if you want it deleted. Thanks -- Samir धर्म 22:20, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Wangi/RFAThanks for your support on my RfA. Give me shout if I can be of help. Thanks/wangi 00:17, 19 August 2006 (UTC) Stop!Hey, hang on... before you go any further... word of advice, remove all mentions of percentages from your RFA thank you's, they'll count against you in your next RFA. – Chacor 15:05, 20 August 2006 (UTC) Add: And that's because an admin should clearly know what consensus is, and there's no hard value of 75% (that's just a common number), people have been promoted with less, and failed to promote with more. – Chacor 15:06, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Re: RFAI'll support you whenever your next RFA is. Just let me know. ForestH2 t/c 15:23, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
HelloSorry to hear you failed the Admin vote. I hope you can continue to stay in Wikipedia, and I look forward to see you nominated again. Good luck! RaNdOm26 15:35, 20 August 2006 (UTC) Try again another time when all the issues are addressed and it should pass. ;) --Andeh 15:46, 20 August 2006 (UTC) RfA congratulationsCongratulations on not totally leaving wikipedia after a failed RfA. I'll, of course, support Wikipedia:requests for adminship/Icelandic Hurricane 2. Looking forward to it. A fellow All-American Rejects fan, ~ c. tales \\tk// 16:50, 20 August 2006 (UTC) Nice RfA thanks message by the way. I like the colours. Your RFA thank you boxYour message is goofing up on at least some user's talk pages; see this diff for an example. I believe code that will work, assuming you're using boilerplate, is:
(I removed the table, and closed the rest of your divs, on places where it was creating a problem for the next comment down the line being swallowed up in your blue divs). Your next proposed RfAThanks for your thank you note, but one think has been me slightly confused; you said, "I hope to see you vote in my next RfA in late 2006, early 2007". So I assume that you must have now begun doing some admin's work (like Chacor), but if you relase the secret, won't other people find out and like *what should I say...* . Alastor Moody (talk) 09:04, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Fortunately, you selected her in my WDP, and she counts as your first hit of the year, landing you a spot in the scoreboard with 6 points. Also, it looks like I may have got part of my Ernesto prediction right. It does look like he will parallel Florida :) .
