Copy editing Davenport, IowaHi! I was wondering if you could copy edit Davenport, Iowa? I am working on getting it to a Featured Article, and one of the suggestions on the peer review was to have a "fresh pair of eyes" copy edit the page, which is a good idea anyway. I will be asking a few people at the PR volunteer's page, to get the widest copyedit perspective I can get. If you can help me, let me know on my talk page or just go ahead and edit the article! If you can't, thanks anyway, a note on my talk would be helpful, but not a big deal if you don't. Thanks again! CTJF83Talk 00:59, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Your edit.Those tables were right-aligned so the top edge could begin just below the bottom edge of the header. Otherwise, they would've been centered or placed to the left if they were supposed to be stacked below the other links. In articles with only some section links it does not look even because some boxes are pushed down while others are not. In an article such as that, it's not as noticeable because every section has a link at top.Potapych (talk) 05:04, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
CopyeditingI found your name on WP:PRV, so I'm asking you to take a look at the article about Milan Bandić? It's undergoing a GA review and the reviewer suggested copyediting.

FACRTitoxd/Archive28, you posted at one or more of the recent discussions of short FAs. There's now a proposal to change the featured article criteria that attempts to address this. Please take a look and consider adding your comments to the straw poll there. Mike Christie (talk) 19:44, 11 October 2008 (UTC) Reviewing articles for Version 0.7Tito, I know you're busy with work, but if you could spare a bit of time to review nominations at Wikipedia:Release_Version_Nominations, I'd really appreciate it. I'm trying to put together an index for Version 0.7, but I've been unable to do a lot because we have a big backlog of manual nominations, and I've had to do most myself. I'm concerned that our timeline will slip I can't keep up. Some noms have already been selected by SelectionBot (see this list which auto-updates) and these can be ignored, but if you could work through some that you feel comfortable with, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Walkerma (talk) 16:13, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Storm of the month  Deep Depression ARB 02 caused the 2008 Yemen floods. On October 19 the IMD noted that an area of low pressure which located to the south east of Salalah, Oman had intensifed in to a tropical depression and was assigned the number ARB 02. On October 21 IMD updated the system to a Deep Depression while it lay 700 km south of Salalah, Oman near the east coast of Somalia. It lost its strength while crossing the Gulf of Aden due to entry of dry air and land interaction as it passed close to the northeastern coast of Somalia. It later was downgraded to a Depression, named TC 03B by the JTWC. On October 24 it made landfall on the south-eastern coast of Yemen, leaving at least 26 civilians and six soldiers dead while trapping hundreds of people due to flooding and torrential rainfalls. The latest figure of casualties is of 184 persons dead and 100 others missing, mostly from the region of Hadhramawt, where the storm made landfall. A total of 733 houses were destroyed in the governorates of Hadhramaut and Al Mahrah, while 22,000 people were displaced. The Yemeni Government declared the two aforementioned governorates as disaster zones. Other tropical cyclone activity

It's kind of embarrassing to have it there, and I'm afraid someone in the future will think I perceive myself as a Very Important Person, but if it makes things easier for someone who paid attention to the TS article when no one else would, I'm happy :-) Thanks again, cordialmente, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:42, 13 December 2008 (UTC) Open reviews updateI've now posted the working group proposal to WT:GAN - your eyes (and input) on its progress would be most welcome.

Hey thereJust wanted to drop by and thank you for your input at the Spanish Wiki about Eustress's case. And (yes, there is a mildly selfish motive here, hehe) to encourage you to keep jumping in whenever you feel it necessary! As someone who started editing there after being 'raised' in the English Wikipedia, I too sometimes find some actions/behaviours there odd, when not downright controversial. Making sure they don't go unnoticed and unchallenged is important. So thank you again, and hope to see you regularly (and Eustress, of course -I hope s/he isn't too badly bruised from the experience) at the Spanish Wikipedia. ;) Cheers Raystorm (¿Sí?) 23:36, 28 December 2008 (UTC) Wikiproject:AwardsHey, I saw your work on the template for the version 1.0 project (the template placed on article talkpages).

We discovered during December that the Australian Bureau of Meteorology have started to designate the Tropical Lows that form within their region with letter U. It is unclear whether either TCWC Jakarta or TCWC Port Moresby assign any designations to lows that form within their Area of Responsibility. RetiringAbout what I saying earlier, I'll take your suggestion and see what happens. I'm retiring tonight. I was considering saying something corny like "By the time you read this, I will have already left", but I'm not dying. I'll be living! I want to thank you for all the help, the fun times, the good/bad, and I wish you luck in the future (and your family, enjoy the new house).

Project News In an attempt to improve articles, there is talk of forming a collaboration between a few Wikipedians. The current project is to improve Hurricane Camille to FA status in time for its 40th anniversary this August. There is still plenty of work to be done, so if you're interested, any help would be appreciated. Additionally, there is a recent discussion on the WPTC talk page about establishing a notability criteria. There was talk in the past of instating one, although this time the proposal is backed up by interpretations of existing Wikipedia policy. The proposal would limit articles to tropical cyclones that have at least one independent, reliable source other than any warning centers. Excluding cross-basin, off-season, or 64+ knot cyclones, the proposal would affect 26 articles, none of which affected land or lasted for an appreciable amount of time. Hey there. I noticed that you were an active editor on USAD a while back. I have been trying to bring the article up to featured article status, and I wondered a few things. First, do you wish add yourself as a nominator to the FAC? Second, would you be interested in giving it a copy edit? It probably needs one or two more run-throughs (see Talk:USAD for Awadewit's comments) and then FAC would be quite possible. If you are interested in working a little on it, I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks, NuclearWarfare (Talk) 18:50, 19 April 2009 (UTC) I saw that you were listed in the Coaches for reconfirmation section of the admin coaching status page.

Numerous recent TC project pollsI think the issue is that the TC project isn't thinking about the issue from a wikipedia standpoint, merely from a standpoint of self-interest. Since the members of the project have historically been young (late 10s, early 20s) or idealistic, that was bound to happen. This odd argument should have been seen coming, and has never been fully addressed over the past few years. I don't think this series of polls will really solve anything, other than make people feel more alienated. Thegreatdr (talk) 11:24, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Storm of the month  Cyclone Aila was the second tropical cyclone to form within the Northern Indian Ocean during 2009. The disturbance that was to become Cyclone Aila formed on 21 May 2009 about 950 kilometres (590 mi) to the south of Kolkata, in India. Over the next couple of days the disturbance slowly developed before a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert was issued by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center early on 23 May 2009 and being designated as a depression by RSMC New Delhi. As of 27 May 2009[update], 330 people have been killed by Aila and at least 8,208 more are missing, while about 1 million are homeless. Health officials in Bangladesh confirmed a deadly outbreak on diarrhea on 29 May, with more than 7,000 people being infected and four dying. In Bangladesh, an estimated 20 million people were at risk of post-disaster diseases due to Aila. Damage totaled $40.7 million (USD). Other tropical cyclone activity Tropical Depression One was the first tropical cyclone to develop during the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season. The depression formed on May 28, out of a disorganized area of low pressure off the coast of North Carolina. However after attaining its peak strength the depression began to weaken due to increasing wind shear and cooling sea surface temperatures with the final advisory being issued on May 29.

Project News During the last week, some editors have organized a page — Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Viewed stats — that has a listing of monthly page views within the project. It is under construction, although it is complete for all Eastern Pacific tropical cyclones, as well as all Atlantic tropical cyclones from 1979 to the present. Interestingly, the top 6 viewed EPAC articles are all featured, and all of the top 16 in the basin are GA's. Unfortunately, the Atlantic, at least from 1979 to the present, is much worse, despite being viewed much, much more. The top eight-viewed Atlantic articles all are viewed more than 10,000 times per month, for a total of 363889 views per month, but only two of them are featured, and none of the others are GA. As always, any help in the retired storms would be greatly appreciated. Somewhat tying into the bettering of project articles, the basin article challenge is still ongoing. Hurricanehink is currently in the lead with a GA in 2 basins. Cyclonebiskit is in 2nd, with one GA in the EPAC. The challenge is still open to anyone, and it is not so much a race, rather a challenge just to get a fairly important GA in each basin.
