Wind FAC reviewCool. Just let me know what issues you find with the article. There haven't been any FAC comments in nearly a week, and no edits to the article in 5 days. We're up to 4 supports and no opposes, with the two extra supports coming late last weekend. There doesn't appear to be anything on the consensus page to know how many supports are needed before a FAC is passed. I'm assuming this is an organic process. In the past, it appears 6 supports were needed. Thegreatdr (talk) 12:02, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

–Juliancolton | Talk 02:10, 4 July 2009 (UTC) Tropical Cyclone tracksI've downloaded all the systems needed for getting Tropical cyclone tracks but none of them work. I'm not sure which versions of the cairo, SVN, and gcc graphics are needed. Wonderworld1995268 (talk) 20:20, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
My RfBHey. WRT this, I just wanted to clarify a few things: first of all, I don't believe my time is being stretched too thinly at the moment. In fact, I'm starting to expand my horizons by editing a few more sister projects. Second, surprisingly, stress hasn't been a huge issue for me as of yet. I work where and when I'm comfortable for the most part. Finally, I don't think I have to worry about burning out for a while. Just FYI. Regards, –Juliancolton | Talk 22:37, 11 July 2009 (UTC) El Nino/ENSO articleWe need to watch the evolution of this article closely. There has been greater vandalism in recent months. Also, one of the early editors (a current admin) to the article has previously reverted people who have simplified wording, and has previously stated to me (in a different matter) that they have no interest in the wikipedia class system. I can see the edits made over the past 12 hours all going up in smoke once the editor/admin realizes what's been going on.

This would allow you to use your mathematics and engineering background to learn a new technology while giving you a break from your major field. This article has been put up for peer review.

Soap Talk/Contributions 04:25, 6 August 2009 (UTC) 2005 Diebold IncidentHi Titoxd. I am a professor at University of South Florida completing a long research project on digital technology and classical rhetoric/postmodern philosophy. Blah blah. I am particularly interested in the Diebold revert war from November 17th 2005. Looking at the page history, I noticed that you were able to revert a rather dubious edit by an anonymous IP address (later, through Wikiscanner, attached to Diebold's corporate offices), within one minute. Do you remember anything from that day? Did you just happen to be on when the edit occurred? Where you regularly watching that page? Any information you could supply would be of interest to me. Thanks ahead of time for any information you can supply. Insignificantwrangler (talk) 17:13, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Since you have recently posted to WT:WPTC or otherwise been involved with tropical cyclone articles, please nominate and review pages at Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Assessment so we can revive this process.

They do quite a nice job, too! They are keen to work with us 1.0 people to develop WikiProject-based book releases. We're having an IRC meeting on Tuesday, October 20th at 1600h UTC at #wikipedia-1.0 - do you want to join us? I remember that you're (like me) quite a fan of book releases, and you were thinking of doing one on Atlantic hurricanes since 2000 (is that right?). Cheers, Walkerma (talk) 04:20, 8 October 2009 (UTC) Sorry you can't attend. I think the process is simple; you just provide them with a list of articles, and they make the book. I will be keen to see about things like control over the article version (critical for avoiding vandalism), etc. I'll send you the log. All the best, Walkerma (talk) 05:01, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Template:FL-classiconA tag has been placed on Template:FL-classicon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted. If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>). Comments subpages (Village pump discussion)I was following a discussion at one of the village pumps about the comments subpages used by some articles, and having a vague memory that WP:WP 1.0 started them, I went looking for the old discussions that started them and found these: 1, 2, 3 (May to July 2006). You were one of the five main participants at those discussions, so I'm notifying all five of you so that some input from when this all started can be obtained for the current discussion, as I'm not sure the full picture is being presented there so far. I'll leave a note at the Village Pump discussion saying who I notified. I also left a note at the WP:WP 1.0 talk page, but not sure how much you each follow that page now, hence the user talk page note. Carcharoth (talk) 19:10, 20 October 2009 (UTC) Track programI see that you helped CB get it, so are there any PC track options? He is the only one updating and making them right now, and he is "temporarily" retired. Thanks. Darren23Edits|Mail 14:20, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Feedback RequestSeeking feedback article I created at Energetic neutral atoms - my first article. Requested feedback at Wikipedia:Requests_for_feedback but then noticed that most articles on that list are rather undeveloped. So I left a feedback request on the article's talk page. Tnx.

It is a weeknight due to scheduling difficulties around the holidays. We will plan a weekend meetup early in 2010. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 17:50, 22 November 2009 (UTC) WP 1.0 botIt's good to see you around. I wanted to let you know that the WP 1.0 bot is moving forward quickly during the last few weeks. I am almost ready to move it to beta. I greatly appreciate all your work on the code in the past. I am not sure how much time or interest you have in additional work, but I would be happy to work with you again if you are ever interested. The project has a group account on toolserver now, and I would be glad to give you access to it. — Carl (CBM · talk) 18:09, 4 December 2009 (UTC) ThanksThank you for your large contribution to the improvement of Tornado. I'm sure you more than anyone else know that sometimes you just need another set of eyes to fix an article. -RunningOnBrains(talk) 16:38, 9 December 2009 (UTC) Happy Birthday and Holidays!

Banco del Sur redirects to Bank of the South, although all reliable sources refer to it by the correct name of Banco del Sur. I don't know how to move over redirect; can you complete that? Please read sources carefully first, since there's some major edit warring going on across Venezuelan articles. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:01, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Nabil rais2008 (talk) 10:29, 12 February 2010 (UTC) WP1.0 template updatesWe're discussing the {{WP1.0}} template at Wikipedia_talk:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team#Tagging_0.7_articles. At some point soon I need to tag all the articles that were released on 0.7, so it's a good time to make any changes to the template itself. The main change we are discussing so far is removing the quality and importance parameters, and leaving that to the wikiprojects to assess. Do you have any other ideas for improvement? I can go through with a bot and re-tag every article that has the tag, to change parameters if needed. — Carl (CBM · talk) 13:25, 14 February 2010 (UTC) WP VenezuelaEpa, Tito; are you able to determine why FAs aren't showing up in the chart at Wikipedia:WikiProject Venezuela#Recognized content? I suspect a problem in {{WP Venezuela}}. In fact, the total number of articles tagged (48) must be wrong also. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:13, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

For a userbox you can add to your userbox page, see User:Rlevse/Today/Happy Me Day! and my own userpage for a sample of how to use it. — Rlevse • Talk • 00:50, 18 March 2010 (UTC) Admin Coaching: ReconfirmationI was looking through the coaches at Wikipedia:Admin_coaching/Status and saw that there are a lot under "reconfirmation". Could you let me know if you are still interesting in being involved with Admin Coaching, or if you would prefer to have your name removed from the "reconfirmation" list and placed on the "retired" list. If you want to be involved, could you please move your entry from "Reconfirmation" to "Active" and indicate how many students you would be willing to have (obviously, if you are actively coaching at the moment, then please indicate this!) If I do not hear from you within a week, I will assume that you would like to have your name removed from the list of coaches and moved to the retired list.

I was planning on nominating United States Academic Decathlon to appear on the main page to coincide with the National Championship on April 25. I was wondering if you could give it a look over and tell me if you see any problems with it. I have also been working on United States Academic Decathlon topics on and off, and a good number of years (especially ones before the turn of the millennium) need quite a bit more information. If you know of any of that information, or know someone who knows how to access it, I would appreciate it very much if you could add it or point me towards it.

EditCountBotHello! I recently created a village pump proposal and request for bot approval for a bot that automatically updates editcounts for use in userboxes, templates and such. We are currently discussing the benefits and drawbacks of such a bot, as well as various different ways in which it could be implemented. Since you are a member of WikiProject edit counter I thought you may be interested in participating, your input at the discussions would be very welcome. - EdoDodo talk 07:57, 13 May 2010 (UTC) Wikipedia's taglineHi. I noticed that you participated in a 2005/2006 discussion and straw poll on whether or not the tagline at the top of all Wikipedia articles should be changed from "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" to "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit". I don't know if you're still interested in this issue or not, but this exact change has been proposed once again, this time at the Village pump, and there is currently an RFC (Request for Comment) on the subject where it is being discussed.

Hello...Hello, I was just wondering if you have the tracking map generator. If you do, could you send me "track.c" in the track directory? This is the file that does not work for me and I was wondering if it will work if there is another "proper" track.c Thanks, --Yueof theNorth 15:12, 16 May 2010 (UTC) ReturnsThanks. I'm sort of editing here and there, though probably not going to be too active in the community as such (turns out school takes up a lot of my time), but it is kind of fun to help fix some things up. – Ilyanep (Talk) ITN for Falcon 9 Flight 1
Always nice to hear from a fellow TitoThank you for the praise. I use the "The" modifier when "Tito" is taken. I always hear this imaginary conversation: "Which Tito?" "You know, the Tito!" "Oh yeah, I'm fairly ambivalent toward him." And I guess I'll have to forgive you for being so biased, but just because I can tell by your name that you're good people.

Hurricane Katrina - Oil SpillsI don't mind that you merged my new "Oil Spills" section into the "Environmental effects" section, although I thought the oil spills represented a significant economic effect as well. However, I was a little annoyed that you didn't check to see what linked to the "Oil Spills" section you were eliminating. I had to clean up after you. Johnson487682 (talk) 13:22, 17 June 2010 (UTC) {{Infobox hurricane current}}Is there a way you can format that template so that it conforms to User:Jason Rees/note for the SHEM basins? Thanks! Darren23Edits|Mail 00:46, 21 June 2010 (UTC) Track map generator:Hello, Could you send me track.exe :) ? I believe that I have enabled emails now. Thanks! TracksHey, I can't remember the finer details I'm afraid though I suspect the answer to your question is Jdorje. Since I last did any work on track maps I've had to replace the computer and I haven't installed the tracks program on the current one (yet). I do have access to my GNA account, but as I'm a group member - not an administrator - I probably can't grant access to others [verification needed]. That allows me to submit stuff, and presumably approve open patches. But I don't know how to do anything beyond the most basic tasks. Most sensible route for you may just be to fork (unless GNA allows admin usurping?), as that way you'd have admin rights. As you can tell from my recent contributions here on WP I'm working on another time-consuming project at present. When that's out the way, I'll have a look at implementing the stuff talked about at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Archive 21#Tracks on Commons (I've just moved the track for 1944 Great Atlantic Hurricane as the existing file name was downright stupid). Once that's done, it will make future uploads of older tracks simpler. One idea I'd suggest you look into is if the track program could (optionally) be converted to use 10-min averaging, as this would make using a lot simpler. Re-installing the tracks package and working with that is on my to-do list. In more general terms with respect to WPTC, obviously when I went inactive I wasn't feeling the best wrt the project. That said, I will do specific things (that don't require the track program) if requested; If/when I reinstall the package I'll probably do stuff with that again too. I may get involved in some work here on WP again, but my home wiki is Commons and my present interests reflect that. If I do ever get back to real activity on wp, WPTC is one of the areas I'll probably do stuff in...--Nilfanion (talk) 23:33, 24 June 2010 (UTC) How are TC tracks made?I'm interested in helping out with them in the future. --Dylan620 (contribs, logs) 22:16, 2 July 2010 (UTC) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
