P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
I updated Template:Blizzard and added it to all the game pages. Cheers. - [[User:Defunkt|Defunkt (talk)]] 06:28, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hi. I have posted a request to revisit this topic at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Japan-related_articles). Thanks. Your input will be appreciated. LG-犬夜叉 09:22, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)
I've replied to your question in the discussion section of the article. --Zacha. 15:17, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hi - sorry for not responding sooner, I've been away from Wikipedia for a while. Have you gotten any kind of admin. feedback yet? This is the first time I've ever had to deal with true jackass of an 'editor', and I have to say I'm not too impressed with Wikipedia's ability to deal with him. I won't be able to participate much for the next couple of days, either. By the way, my knowledge of this subject is basically zero; my main interest is that the article conform to Wikipedia standards, which (because of 65.182.172.*'s POV writing style and complete lack of sourcing) it's not. --Dcfleck 12:33, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
It looks like some other users have gotten fed up with this anonymous user as well: Wikipedia:Requests for comment/65.182.172.x. You might want to add your own opinions here. --Dcfleck 13:50, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:CityOfNewOrleansInMephis.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use ((GFDL-self)) to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as ((Non-free fair use in|article name)) or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 09:30, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Bhadani has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding ((subst:smile)), ((subst:smile2)) or ((subst:smile3)) to their talk pages. Happy editing!

I must say, awesome job with the seasonal track maps you made. They look amazing. The NHC track map looks ugly, but using the google maps is a great move. --Hurricanehink (talk) 13:47, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:1990 Pacific hurricane season map.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Good job on making these up, however there are some issues. I've done some needed recoding to a locally held version of the program, but haven't uploaded it (due to svn being read-only or some nonsense...). If you want I can email you the diffs of the modified source so you can recompile to take into account the changes. The changes are needed as the colors in the source you have are obsolete - the WikiProject updated the colors a long time back, but did not update the source. And a couple other things can you upload the images to Commons instead of the english Wikipedia in future, and use the ((hurricane auto track map)) template as the image description. That will make housekeeping tasks much simpler (and consistent with all the other images). Thanks!--Nilfanion (talk) 00:02, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Yep, good idea, I'll send that off to you later. We have to be a little careful about forking, but if we treat Jdorje's version as "stable" and yours as "unstable" we should be fine I think. Then when he becomes active again we can merge the content back. You doing the active storm tracks and me focussing on the older storms seems like a reasonable divison of labour.--Nilfanion (talk) 11:03, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Its still a Tropical Depression with no name, unless you provide a link to a NOAA Advisory or other source °≈§→ Robomaeyhem: T/←§≈° 08:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, I think I've got the SSH working, but I'm not sure how I actually am supposed to commit stuff - so I don't know if I've got the SSH right or not... Do you know how to commit stuff?--Nilfanion (talk) 23:42, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Actually I know the best way to do this. Assume I'm a total idiot (I'm not but if you do I'm sure to get it right). :P I've know that the GNA server has my key correctly stored, but I'm not sure how to use it. If I just run the svn ci command I get a read-only error, so presumably I need to get the SSH authenication done first. As an example say I want to upload an updated storms.pl. What commands do I need to use, first to get the SSH working and then to update the file?--Nilfanion (talk) 11:27, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
You've been approved to use VandalSniper. Please let me know if you have any problems getting it working. --Chris (talk) 23:13, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
The key problem I have with "active" track maps are two things.
Doing just one "final" track map solves both problems, and at most will only be updated once or twice to accomodate tropical cyclone reports. – Chacor 09:45, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
The JTWC does not keep an archive. However numerous sites store them. UNISYS is probablt the easiest [1], but it stores all information its a little on the tedious side. I agree with Chacor here for the most part, its probably not worth updating the track every advisory, the NHC forecast track is better suited to live storms; and there is no need to have half a million versions of the tracks (once uploaded they stay in existence). IMO, times to update a track are: After dissipation and after TCR. Oh and a number of unusual circumstances (but not every 6 hours). That said Ioke should be updated now it looks silly with an incomplete track.--Nilfanion (talk) 08:44, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Oh - there is an error in your track for Ioke. Point 16 is incorrect (when it is a Cat 2) that NE jog would never have happened.--Nilfanion (talk) 09:23, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I noticed you created the Commons: tracks as soon as the TD forms. However, this means there are lots of superfluous tracks hanging around on commons Image:One-C 2006 track.png and Image:Three 2006 track.png for example. I've nominated them all for deletion on Commons, could you please comment at Commons:Commons:Deletion requests#Redundant hurricane tracks. Thanks.--Nilfanion (talk) 09:19, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Edits from that IP address are vandalism. If it happens again, I'm asking for it to be blocked. I don't care who is belongs to. DesertSky85451 16:30, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
