Heh, 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)

Thanks, although now Storm05's edits are actually needed ;) And don't worry, right now I am at the cool library relaxing while browsing, so I am very relaxed :D Hurricanehink (talk) 19:42, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

??? Check again. Bertha's page currently only has what I did to it. Hurricanehink (talk) 19:45, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Cool. Now I can relax. Hurricanehink (talk) 19:52, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Heh, the hurricane capital of the United States with my relatives. I've got some personal stories of the baddies over the past few years, and I'm gearing up to get some serious articles done for the likes of this state. Later. Hurricanehink (talk) 20:00, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

You think Avila is still around at the center? No way! He's like the catcher in the starting lineup of the baseball game, and he needs to rest up while it's still spring training. He's probably off with the rest of the crew in the Caribbean. I can just imagine it - Avila and Franklin pulling a prank on Proenza, Knabb and Beven are playing golf, and Stewart sitting in a hammock. :D Hurricanehink (talk) 23:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I thought you might follow-up on the teeth you'd like to see in

This user also lives on Planet Wikimedia.

Feel free to reword it. :-) --

Would you be an expert in the updates / willing to appear on WW to discuss said updates? It likely would sound better than the rest of us randomly babbling with half the information and a quick glance at the wikipage -- Tawker 06:01, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for reverting vandalism in my user page. 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)

Hi 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

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)

Ready whenever you are for the IRC meeting. John Carter 19:03, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for being on the ball and getting rid of that disgusting image. I was trying to figure out which template it was from but you were quicker than me.

Hiya,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. If you have the time, my web address is www.wikistock.com . I appreciate your time, Thanks--Rovo79 04:12, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

19 March, 2007, a fact from the article Hurricane Katrina (1981), which you recently nominated, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page .

Titoxd, you suggested that the assessment script include projects already on the talk page. I've added this feature (and I think it's nifty). If you aren't using it, you may want to take a look. –Outriggr § 00:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Just tried it on Hurricane Nora (1997) with both Firefox and IE (7). Worked as expected; too bad you have trubbles. –Outriggr § 00:23, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks 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)

I've done some cleanup of the code; hopefully that helps things a bit. Some things to look at:

• I'm not quite sure what the mess of category-generation code at the bottom is supposed to do, but I'd hazard a guess that there's a much simpler way of doing it.
• The core/coresup parameters, at least, ought to be mutually exclusive.
• I would suggest that the assessment only be displayed "above the fold" in cases where "orphan=yes" is set, and be hidden otherwise.

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)

Ah, ok; as I said, there's a simpler way of doing it. ;-)

(I've also gone ahead and added the "small" parameter, as well as moving everything into the collapsible block in most cases.

As far as WikiReaders go, we're just starting up discussion now (having been prompted by your blog, obviously); I'll try to keep you posted once we actually start doing something practical. Kirill Lokshin 18:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Tito, 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)

Sure. Let me do that right now.

cool stuff

About 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. So, is this really needed at all? --- RockMFR 03:17, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to reopen it without prejudice. The foundation has no opinion on the matter. Cary Bass ^demandez 15:35, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I was coming here to ask what to do. I don't want to reverse your close, but I wasn't sure whether we should reopen or go to the next day. --badlydrawnjeff talk 16:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Bastards are bored again. I know who they are but they won't ever admit to it. "I don't know what your talking about..."<gag> I really wish these people would grow up. --

I'm trying to... I suspect there is a way as I didn't think it was going to be possible to lift off the [show]/[hide] functionality. I'll let you know if I turn up anything. Cheers. (→Netscott) 07:06, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Funny I forgot about the opposite problem where a person who would have clicked a TOC [hide] elsewhere and came to TOChidden and clicked [show] only to find the TOC hidden with nothing to click to make it display. I've rectified this now as well. See you. (→Netscott) 07:52, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Just a heads-up that I made a small change in the {{

is changed to

 {{subst:drt|[[Title]]|Decision}}

which turns into

Hope that makes closures a bit easier. Comments and questions please here. Take care, trialsanderrors 08:43, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Umm, why did you recreate a .gif as a .png? Especially now gif patent issues are a non-issue, there's no real benefit I can see. an svg on the other hand...--Nilfanion (talk) 21:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

PNG is a better format for these files, but converting from gif to png is a waste of time and server space (though not much). Go get Inkscape :P--Nilfanion (talk) 22:03, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

With the cabal power of Raul and myself, I shall block you myself :) In all seriousness, I thought about that- I have not made any edits with the account, including deleted and oversighted- my only acts in regards to the account have been to register it and change the password, which should have no bearing on GFDL. Ral315 » 08:13, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I kind of thought you were joking, but I also expected someone to make such a comment in all seriousness. In any event, once our personalities are completely merged, we will for all purposes of attribution be one person and user. Ral315 » 08:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

That'll make it really tough when we buy out User:AOL Time Warner next month. Our attorneys will be working overtime, I'm sure... Ral315 » 08:25, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

The Main Page

The WikiProject has a narrow scope, so it is not surprising that our articles are not frequently selected for

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.
