1989 AHS

Hey, I reviewed the article you nominated. Seeing how much bigger season articles are, I saw too many problems to feel comfortable merely putting it on hold. It's decent, but it needs more work before it can be considered "good". Feel free to contact me with any questions. You know where to find me ;) Cheers, --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:27, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:2006 Atlantic hurricane season#Merge List of storms in the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season?

Thanks for reviewing Gordon. Actually, I am planning on the GT, but the list article has to be dealt with first. I brought that up a few days ago. It's the same logic as 2009. There is no need for the redundant information between the two articles. I don't really know how they came about in the first place, but they didn't really solve anything by having two different formats. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:11, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for the GA review. Much appreciated. AIRcorn (talk) 07:37, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2011 May newsletter

We're half way through round 3 of the 2011 WikiCup. There are currently 32 remaining in the competition, but only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Casliber (submissions), of pool D, is our overall leader with nearly 200 points, while pools A, B and C are led by Racepacket (submissions), Hurricanehink (submissions) and Canada Hky (submissions) respectively. The score required to reach the next round is 35, though this will no doubt go up significantly as the round progresses. We have a good number of high scorers, but also a considerable number who are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. Also, an important note concerning nominations at featured article candidates: if you are nominating content for which you intend to claim WikiCup points, please make this clear in the nomination statement so that the FAC director and his delegates are aware of the fact.

A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

US National Archives collaboration

United States National Archives WikiProject

Would you like to help improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the National Archives and its incredible collection? This summer, the National Archives—which houses some of America's most important historical documents—is hosting me as its Wikipedian in Residence, and I have created WP:NARA to launch these efforts.

There are all sorts of tasks available for any type of editor, whether you're a writer, organizer, gnome, coder, or image guru. The National Archives is making its resources available to Wikipedia, so help us forge this important relationship! Please sign up and introduce yourself. Dominic·t 15:22, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Hurricane Diana/GA2 - hey, I reviewed Diana again. You made some nice improvements! There are still some things that should be done, so I put the GAN on hold. BTW, are you still around? You haven't been editing lately... --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:53, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2011 June newsletter

We are half way through 2011, and entering the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; the semi-finals are upon us! Points scored in the interim (29/30 June) may be counted towards next round, but please do not update your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. 16 contestants remain, and all have shown dedication to the project to reach this far. Our round leader was Casliber (submissions) who, among other things, successfully passed three articles through featured article candidates and claimed an impressive 29 articles at Did You Know, scoring 555 points. Casliber led pool D. Pool A was led by Wizardman (submissions), claiming points for a featured article, a featured list and seven good article reviews, while pool C was led by Eisfbnore (submissions), who claimed for two good articles, ten articles at Did You Know and four good article reviews. They scored 154 and 118 respectively. Pool B was by far our most competitive pool; six of the eight competitors made it through to round 4, with all of them scoring over 100 points. The pool was led by Hurricanehink (submissions), who claimed for, among other things, three featured articles and five good articles. In addition to the four pool leaders, 12 others (the four second places, and the 8 next highest overall) make up our final 16. The lowest scorer who reached round 4 scored 76 points; a significant increase on the 41 needed to reach round 3. Eight of our semi-finalists scored at least twice as much as this.

No points were awarded this round for featured pictures, good topics or In the News, and no points have been awarded in the whole competition for featured topics, featured portals or featured sounds. Instead, the highest percentage of points has come from good articles. Featured articles, despite their high point cost, are low in number, and so, overall, share a comparable number of points with Did You Know, which are high in number but low in cost. A comparatively small but still considerable number of points come from featured lists and good article reviews, rounding out this round's overall scores.

We would again like to thank Jarry1250 (submissions) and Stone (submissions) for invaluable background work, as well as all of those helping to provide reviews for the articles listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Please do keep using it, and please do help by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seen here and here, for those interested, though it appears that neither are completely accurate at this time. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Josephine 84

Hey, I wasn't sure if you realized, but if you get your Josephine article up to GA, then the season will be able to pass a good topic nomination. I have a few comments (consider this a pre-GAN review).

First, you say that the erosion from Josephine left the Outer Banks vulnerable. It would be great if you found out if such future storms did occur shortly after Josephine (maybe try a Google news search for the months after the storm). Next, you also say "Josephine reportedly dropped light rainfall". That makes it sound like a rumor. You should say what really happened, that 20 mm of rainfall fell in Newfoundland.

This sentence is a little clunky: A sailboat with six crewmen on it became disabled due to high waves, after encountering waves that were estimated to have exceeded 15 ft (4.6 m) in height. The redundant waves part is redundant concerning the waves. I'm also not a huge fan of the first part of the sentence, but I'll leave you to address that.

All in all though, it's a decent article. If you address these things, I'll give it a "proper" GA review (just double check for everything), and it'd probably pass.

BTW, I see you're considering an article for Fran. As much as I'd love one for Fran and Beryl 82, there really isn't the impact info to justify either, IMHO (or at least, a good variety of sources). --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:51, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You could get a GT too if you just GA nom Josephine! (and this problem wouldn't happen for you :P ) --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:51, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, sorry to keep asking, but are you planning on nomming Josephine for GA? It would allow for the GT. BTW, all of us are on IRC right now if you wanna join (just make sure you don't start your nickname with numbers). --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:45, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of storms in the 1994 Atlantic hurricane season

Hey, I noticed you've been editing that article recently. I just thought you should know there is a merge proposal to combine the formats. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:37, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I addressed your comments on 1991 AHS's GAN. Thanks a lot for reviewing it. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:57, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of tropical depressions

Hey, I know that was a bit of a project of yours. I thought I should let you know it's on AFD. To be honest, I don't think it should exist, since Wikipedia isn't meant to be a directory of loosely associated storms. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:45, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please see my note there as well. If you'd like, it's perfectly acceptable to move the article to your userspace to work on if the AFD debate results in deletion. However, Cut-and-paste moves are not allowed for copyright reasons. Let me know if you have any questions. -RunningOnBrains^(talk) 15:08, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I know I've told you before, but it'd be great if you could join us once in a while on IRC. It's usually me, Juliancolton, Cyclonebiskit, Titoxd, Yellow Evan, Auree, and a few other editors. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:21, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I want to go on, but I just don't know how to get on to IRC.--12george1 (talk) 03:27, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sweet! First, you can go here. Type your name under Nickname, #wiki-hurricanes under Channels, and then do the reCAPTCHA and click connect. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:31, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, I tried all of that and it doesn't work for me.--12george1 (talk) 03:41, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The key thing is having #wiki-hurricanes under Channels (note the hash tag). You add your nickname, do the recaptcha, and click connect. Once you're in, the channel will automatically come up. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:45, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, couldn't get it this time. Here is what is happening: I go through the steps you just explained, and then I get onto the screen. However, there it says "Erroneous Nickname" and then about a minute later it says "Disconnected from server: Connection to IRC server lost."--12george1 (talk) 03:58, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, try another nickname. Something like "Test". --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:04, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you have Firefox, download chatzilla here. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane

The problem is, you can't use a nick with numbers in front. I think that's why you can't get in. Darren 23^Edits|Mail 04:08, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, great job finding the 1987 MWR! That's been eluding the project for years now, hah. It's not a huge loss only having the hurricanes. Only Eugene struck land, after all. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:24, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
