[edit] Re: Hi
Hello! Thanks for the nice words. Links to userboxes can be found at Wikipedia:Userboxes#Gallery. And thanks for your offer about the Sailor Moon images, but do keep in mind that it's really not a big deal. Whoever that was almost certainly did not intend to vandalize, and clearing up the issue won't take long at all. Anyway, thanks and have a good day. :) --Masamage 21:34, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #10
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.
Storm of the month
Cyclone Favio developed well to the east of northern Madagascar on February 12 and moved to the southwest as it developed. The storm did not significantly intensify until February 19 when it was just off the southern coast of Madagascar, but rapidly intensified soon after to its peak with 185 km/h (115 mph) winds. Favio turned to the northwest and hit Mozambique worsening the floods already occurring in the country. Favio claimed at least 4 lives and destroyed thousands of homes.
Other tropical cyclone activity
There were a total of 6 tropical cyclones in the southern hemisphere during February. Five of these, including Favio, were in the South West Indian Ocean.
- The only other storm in the Australian region was Cyclone Nelson which formed at the end of January in the Gulf of Carpentaria before it hit Queensland.
- Cyclone Dora was active in January and reached its peak as an annular cyclone on February 3 with 185 km/h (115 mph) winds.
- Cyclone Gamede was an unusually large storm that prompted the highest level of cyclone warning on Réunion and brought strong winds to the island on February 27, causing a bridge to collapse.
- Neither Enok towards the start of the month or Humba near its end, had any impact on land.
Member of the month
The February member of the month is Miss Madeline. Miss Madeline is responsible for many of the projects featured lists such as List of Category 5 Pacific hurricanes and List of California hurricanes. She has also put serious work into many of our Pacific hurricane articles since she joined the project as one of its founding members. Recently she has worked on 1996 Pacific hurricane season, bringing it from a stub-class article to a Good article candidate.
New and improved articles
- New featured content: Hurricane Erika (1997), Effects of Hurricane Isabel in Maryland and Washington, D.C., Meteorological history of Hurricane Wilma, 2000 Sri Lanka Cyclone, Hurricane Isabel and List of Florida hurricanes (pre-1900).
- New Good articles include Hurricane Pauline, Hurricane Isis (1998), 1939 Pacific typhoon season, Typhoon Tip and 1983 Atlantic hurricane season.
- New articles include Hurricane Isis (1998), Hurricane Debby (1982), Hurricane Adolph (2001), Hurricane Alberto (1982) and Tropical Depression One (1992).
Main Page content
- Entries from 6 articles: Hurricane Flossy (1956), Hurricane Able (1951), Meteorological history of Hurricane Wilma, Effects of Hurricane Wilma in the Bahamas, Tropical Depression One (1992) and Tropical cyclone basins appeared on the Main Page in the Did you know column during February.

Comments wanted on project talk Many discussions that potentially have far reaching impact for the whole project are carried out on the project's talk page. However, only a fraction of our active contributors actually engage in those discussions. If you add the project page to your Watchlist and keep an eye on discussions there to monitor upcoming changes, even if you don't participate in those discussions it would help both yourself and the project as a whole. For instance, at the moment the primary infobox templates such as {{Infobox hurricane}} are in the process of being deprecated and replaced by new versions which do the role more effectively.
[edit] How to Archive?
{helpme}
how do i archive stuff on my talk page? i dont think deleting things will be too nice but where can i put stuff like this? thanks Maverick423 19:00, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, there are different ways to archive a talk page. For more information, see Wikipedia:How to archive a talk page. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 19:02, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] On your Wikinews article about A-Kron
There are questions concerning your article "A-Kon robbed at BorderFest", please take a look at it at http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/A-Kon_robbed_at_BorderFest
- Thanks for your time,

[edit] Festivals project
I think the best thing to do would probably be to contact Wikipedia:WikiProject Holidays and ask them if they would be willing to take on the Festivals project as a "task force" or other functional work group. It could still have the name "WikiProject" or not, but function like the subprojects of other larger projects. The Talk:Adelaide page shows how the various Australia projects have done this. I can't see any reason why they wouldn't agree to it. Also, you'd probably only need 5 people to start the project with a task force, so you could probably even get rolling faster. Best of luck with the idea. John Carter 14:15, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- If you wanted to merge the proposal with the Holidays project, the best way would be to ask the Holidays Project if they would be willing to either expand the scope of the project to include all festivals and/or ask them to take on the group as some sort of subproject (the names task force and work group are both used). I would assume that they would respond positively to one or the other, but it would be best to check with them in any event. John Carter 17:57, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the information. I can potentially try to add for other festivals and holidays, but right now the saints project is taking up a lot of time. I think there is a Gale-published Encyclopedia of Holidays which might be of use to you. I also think that adding some data on the various observances of religious holidays and festivals would be very welcome to wikipedia, as many help reflect the social organization of the local communities. Best of luck. John Carter 14:49, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

- Greetings. if you are interested about festivals, maybe you could have a look at those in one of my missing topics pages. - Thank you Skysmith 14:54, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- I added the information on how to add the template on the project page. Basically, just add the name of the Template minus the "Template:" in {{}}'s to transpose the template onto the page. John Carter 17:03, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- You're going to want to change the existing phrasing of the template, as they won't be able to see the warning until after it's added to the talk page and it will stay visible throughout, giving a less than certain impression to the project. But, just add {{WikiProject Festivals}}, character for character, to the talk page to add the banner. John Carter 19:30, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

- Greetings again. I collected the listings of all the festivals from my other pages into one page about missing festival articles. I hope this may be more useful - Skysmith 06:52, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
excellent this will make it alot easier to sort through the list thanks much! Maverick423 13:31, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

- I second that. When you help him, can you post the answer on my talk too please? WikiMan53 (talk • contribs • count) | Can I have your autograph? 21:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hi there. Existing templates are listed at Wikipedia:Template messages. If you cannot find the template you need, you can request it on Wikipedia:Requested templates. For help on creating templates yourself, see Help:Template, or contact a user who has identified themselves as an adept template coder. Hope that helps. --Jon186 21:30, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

- I would try asking one of the people who operates said newsletters, or contacting one of the users listed in Category:User_template_coder. I'll leave the {{helpme}} box up, since this isn't a very helpful response. Sorry. Hersfold (talk/work) 22:47, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- I would have to agree with Hersfold, sorry, not much help here. --Nenyedi TalkDeeds@ 00:32, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
