Re: V 1.0Hi! Thanks for the welcome notice. I've not decided on what exactly to do for now, but would rather stick to article quality. For now, I would try and help out in identifying South Asian related content of prime importance that needs to go in v1.0, as well as assessing articles in terms of importance and priority. If time permits, I would also review core topics for comprehensiveness. =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:47, 24 February 2007 (UTC) assessment scriptThanks. I mentioned it on the 1.0 talk page, but I addressed the bugs. –Outriggr § 07:13, 25 February 2007 (UTC) POTY 2006Your vote is invalid.

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 soutern coast of Madagascar, but rapidly intenstified soon after to its peak with 185 km/h (115 mph) winds. Favio turned to the northwest and hit Mozambique worsening the floods already occuring in the country. Favio claimed at least 4 lives and destroyed thousands of homes. Other tropical cyclone activity
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

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. Happy Spread-the-funny and-slighty-random-love day!Userbox linkYou may wish to replace the link in User:Titoxd/UserPage/Neutrality as all of Essjay's user sub pages were deleted at his request and it is now a red link. Just thought I'd let you know :). Cheers! --Nick—Contact/Contribs 07:27, 7 March 2007 (UTC) Not sure if you have had a chance to check your e-mail yet, but I did send you an e-mail. Just thought I should let you know on the off chance that you have a separate account for Wikipedia related mail. I hope you have a most wonderful day! Kyra~(talk) 14:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC) Watchlists?Hi Titoxd. I thought I'd ask you a techy question rather than WP:VPT. My watchlist includes pages that I have never watched, as well as apparently showing me new page creations (sometimes?). Why is this, has there been some 'clever' change in the last few months that I missed? For example, I appear to be watching User:Mogthetormentor, though the page has only existed since yesterday, and the watch/unwatch button on that page does say "watch". Is there some proto-intelligence involved? I have switched off "enhanced recent changes" in my prefs. Splash - tk 21:53, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Concerning your Admin Coaching assignmentsYour name is still listed at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Volunteers. The department is heavily backlogged with student's requests for coaches, and we need your help! Note that the instructions may have changed since the last time you checked, and the department now follows a self-help process... If you don't currently have a student, or if you believe you can handle another one, please select a student from the request list at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests and contact them. See the instructions on Wikipedia:Admin coaching. Good luck. If you are no longer available to coach, , please remove yourself from the volunteers list. Thank you.

A modification of Image:Unclesamwantyou.jpg would be really nice... :) Nice job with this, by the way. Excellent idea. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 06:13, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Re: DudeHeh, I know, I'll try. Actually, while I'm here, could you do a history merge for Hurricane Bertha (1990)? As you might have seen, Storm05 copied and pasted the storm history from my sandbox, so could you do a history merge for this with this? If you do that, I'll be able to relax more easily :) Hurricanehink (talk) 15:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

See you! --Meno25 09:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC) Thanks for your updates to this page and making those clerk notes as you clerk name changes - that was a good idea :). I was becoming overwhelmed at the rate of name changes of admins and other major contibutors since usurpation began and felt such a page was needed just to stay on top of it all. I hope it is useful to others as well. Cheers, NoSeptember 13:28, 15 March 2007 (UTC) Version 0.5, blogs, WW etcHi Tito, thanks for writing that very nice description of the assessment process for Planet Wikimedia - that's a neat site, I hadn't seen it before. Let me know if you want me to write about the Version 0.5 release or anything (that's currently being pressed/burned by the way). Give me something specific that you want me to write about - thought I'm pretty busy until after my talk on wikis at the Chicago ACS conference on 25th. Are you interested in attending an IRC meeting for WVWP? As you probably know, we plan to switch the focus over to assessing "orphaned" (no project) articles, so the meeting is to plan how best to do this. There are four of us signed up right now, including Gflores (remember him?), who recently returned as Mahanga. I can do a Wikipedia Weekly piece if they want me to, I did one on V0.5 in episode 7, I think. Maybe I could see if BozMo and/or Polimerek (Polish DVD) could make it too. Let me know if they want me to set something up, I have Skype (I got it for my last WW). Cheers, Walkerma 02:40, 17 March 2007 (UTC) IRc meetingReady whenever you are for the IRC meeting.

I was trying to figure out which template it was from but you were quicker than me. Planet WikimediaHiya,I saw your posts on Planet Wikimedia, and was wondering if you would check out my wiki and let me know what you think of it. I've been trying to develop it for a few months now, I used a lot of articles on wikipedia to get it going, but my goal is to eventually build a community of information freely available for stock investors.

I appreciate your time, Thanks--Rovo79 04:12, 19 March 2007 (UTC) DYKscriptTitoxd, you suggested that the assessment script include projects already on the talk page.

Templates for 1.0 and GAThanks for checking over my GA template. Do you think it's ready to put out "live" at {{GA}}? I don't want to mess up almost 2000 talk pages if it's not....! Also, thank you for the new 1.0 script, this looks very nice. Walkerma 07:24, 20 March 2007 (UTC) Re: {{WP1.0}}I've done some cleanup of the code; hopefully that helps things a bit. Some things to look at:
Incidentally, I suspect that MILHIST will be starting to move on the WikiReader issue from our end in fairly short order. ;-) Kirill Lokshin 12:29, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
GA templateTito, if you don't mind, could you roll out the new GA template? I'm afraid that I'll mess something up. Don't forget to remove the colons from before the category generation code. If you really don't want to yourse;f, let me know. Thanks a lot, Walkerma 05:19, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
H:Page name variablesAbout a month ago, you copied H:Page name variables over from meta. I was about to move it over to Help:Page name variables (see [1]), but it's pretty much the same thing as Help:Magic words.

Cheers. (→Netscott) 07:01, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Change in Template:DRV topJust a heads-up that I made a small change in the {{DRV top}} (or {{drt}}) template: the level 4 header, with a (closed) marker, is now part of the template. So any discussion can now be closed by simply replacing the four equal signs on each side of the title into the the template text: ====[[Title]]==== is changed to {{subst:drt|[[Title]]|Decision}} which turns into Title (closed)
Hope that makes closures a bit easier. Comments and questions please here. Take care, trialsanderrors 08:43, 27 March 2007 (UTC) ImagesUmm, why did you recreate a .gif as a .png?

Storm of the month Hurricane Will developed from a tropical wave to the east of the Caribbean Sea and intensified. It crossed over Jamaica and re-emerged over water a few days later. The storm intensified into a hurricane and an eye began to develop. Will became a major hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico and made landfall on the vulnerable Gulf Coast of the United States soon after. To date, Hurricane Will has claimed over 350 lives and is directly responsible for about $5 billion of damages; of which an unknown amount was insured. Despite the damage, it is not expected that the name will be retired by WMO. Other tropical cyclone activity
Member of the month The April member of the month is HurricaneIrene. Irene began contributing to tropical cyclone articles on Wikipedia in August 2005, but ran out of steam and left after barely 2 weeks. However, Irene's influence on the project has been wide-reaching. Her efforts led directly to two articles attaining featured status and her legacy inspired many of our most active editors to write a plethora of good articles on a wide range of storms.

Storm article statistics
The Main Page The WikiProject has a narrow scope, so it is not surprising that our articles are not frequently selected for Today's featured article. Most destructive cyclones are likely to be mentioned on the In the news column. We have no real control over that, but we should submit suggestions when appropriate. However, we can do a more lot more to place our content in the other major section of the main page: The Did you know column. In the past month we created over 30 articles. Of these only 2 were even submitted as suggestions for DYK. We can do much better, please submit DYK entries for new articles when you do the initial assessment.

$wgNamespaceProtectionHello, I see that you created this page on $wgNamespaceProtection. I was wondering if you could help explain a little more how to use it. For example, how would I use it to have pages in "namespace x" only editable by users of "group y"? Thanks Eric.frederich 14:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC) ceHi - I haven't been doing much copyediting lately, but coincidentally I just started one article today. I could look at one of the articles you mentioned, and I wouldn't be able to start for three or four days I expect.

Debería ser:
La primera corrección es porque "fluido" se pruede traducir como "fluid", pero quieres decir "fluent"; la segunda corrección es que "Wikipedia inglés" no es una manera adecuada de escribir "English Wikipedia". Para ver por qué, escribe esa frase remplazando el texto con "Wikipedia in English"—es una manera completamente correcta de escribir la oración. Sin embargo, "Wikipedia English" no lo es, ni en inglés, ni en castellano. ¡Buena suerte en tus exámenes! Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 08:27, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
