Hi, I've seen your articles on the alien experiments from Lilo & Stitch. Anyway, they're very useful, but I've never seen the show, and I'm wondering: what is an experiment? You might want to start a page entitled alien experiment (Lilo & Stitch) or something of that sort, and then link to it from all the "experiment" articles. Also, you don't have to sign your edits, since this information is recorded in the page history. To find out more, read Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Yours, Meelar 00:11, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Please don't post your username on article pages. - snoyes 00:11, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Nice job! Now it would be nice to have links to that article from the various experiment pages, such as Experiment 624 and others. Yours, Meelar 00:49, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Hey, your work is improving quickly. Thanks a lot. Anyway, I was checking out your user page, and it looked like you had a lot of edits listed that were done before you logged in. If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username. Yours, Meelar 03:25, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Hurricane names
I took the liberty of moving this page to Lists of tropical cyclone names, and making it non-north atlantic POV. Also removed the retired hurricane name information, as it is already tracked at List of notable tropical cyclones. -- Cyrius | Talk 00:54, Apr 1, 2004 (UTC)
Music #1's
I liked your articles on #1 music lists. Where did you get the list though? I hope to add some stuff over. --ShaunMacPherson 00:58, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Rename of The Flint-Worcester Tornado to The Flint-Worcester Tornadoes
BigT27, I just wanted to ask if you minded if I moved 'The Flint-Worcester Tornado' to 'The Flint-Worcester Tornadoes'. Thanks. --Brian Rock 22:29, May 3, 2004 (UTC)
Tornado chaser?
Obviously you are knowledgeable about tornadoes, and you should be writing magazine articles about them. But I put a cleanup notice on your page about f5 tornadoes because it's not written in encyclopedia style. I throught about doing some editing myself, but am not knowledgeable enough. I encourage you to try to learn Wikipedia style for here, and use your other style for other venues. I hope I'm not being too hard on you - when I first started here, some of my articles got extensively rewritten by other editors. For the most part, though, it was fun to collaborate and learn.

Current hurricane events
I've started 2004 Atlantic hurricane season to track hurricane development in a style similar to 2004 or Current events. Given that you've written other articles on hurricanes, I figured you'd be interested. -- Cyrius|✎ 23:29, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)
List of Atlantic hurricane seasons
There's no problem with it at all. It makes me happy to see somebody is taking an interest in this, even if it is the person who gave me the idea in the first place. Although I probably wouldn't have written an article about Tropical Storm Katrina. Doesn't seem like a storm of note. But then, It doesn't really hhurt anything to have it either.
I'm going to take a break once I finally fill in short descriptions for everything back to the 1995 season. That's where the NHC's preliminary reports stop being web pages and start being scanned text, and ten years is a good round number.
BTW, is the year nav-box matching the width of the Saffir-Simpson box? I had to resort to some tricks to get it to work. It works or almost works in everything I've tried, but I'd hate for it to be massively mismatched. -- Cyrius|✎ 05:11, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Hurricane Isidore
I separated out the disambiguation information on Hurricane Isidore. I'm trying to start a discussion on a standard way of doing this on Talk:2004 Atlantic hurricane season. Over there the issue of disambiguating storms has already come up, so I figure it's best to keep that discussion in one place. -- Cyrius|✎ 02:53, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Hurricane Danielle
Just a head's up, I moved Hurricane Danielle to Hurricane Danielle (1998) for disambiguation purposes. Figured you'd want to know if stuff you wrote got moved around. -- Cyrius|✎ 21:51, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Experiment XXX
Your experiment articles are failing to impress. Could they not be listed on a single page. Take Experiment 628. You don't explain what "an unactivated experiment" is. The name of the article, and the name bolded in the first paragraph are not the same. And we know who to pronounce 628, for heavens sake. Oh - and there is no description of Experiment 628, because, AFAI can make out, there was no experiment 628. Sorry, but these articles are bollocks. (Just my opinion) Tagishsimon
- Absolutely in full agreement...these are just silly and have no potential for expansion beyond the stub level. Document them on one single page, please. -- Netoholic @ 02:34, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- OK, I moved everything... If you want to update the experiment descriptions, go to Alien experiment (Lilo & Stitch). Happy editing! -- Netoholic @ 04:12, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Atlantic Hurricanes
No, you don't need to be a sysop to edit Category: articles. Why would you think you needed to? -- Cyrius|✎ 03:55, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- The links to the articles don't come up because they aren't there. Putting articles in categories is done only at the article. When you edit a "category", you're editing the category description page. -- Cyrius|✎ 04:04, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Music
Good work for List of Number 1 Hits (USA) it looks a lot better then when I last looked. See you, --ShaunMacPherson 19:53, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Metroplex Tornado
Keep up the good work on the Fort Worth Tornado page. Hell yeah. 128.196.194.167 19:41, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Music part 2
The Hot 100 List of Number 1 Hits (USA) seems to be weekly, but some Hot 100 websites show 100 songs for a year. Why would it be weekly if it is top 100? As well, this offical website for the The Billboard Hot 100 (http://www.billboard.com/bb/charts/hot100.jsp) shows there are 100 spots, not weekly.
Is the Hot 100 we are doing not really the Hot 100? --ShaunMacPherson 14:34, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I found an example here, at the offical website of their Hot 100 being 100 entries: for 1989 (http://www.billboard.com/bb/charts/ago/rewind.jsp?which=hot100&REWIND_YEAR=15). Did we do the Hot 100 wrong? It is very confusing, I was hoping to get the Hot 100 songs for each year up, as well as the weekly songs we did already. --ShaunMacPherson 14:39, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new)| talk)
Unverified images
Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image:
I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GNU Free Documentation License, {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know at my talk page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 04:10, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)
P.S. You can help tag other images at User:Yann/Untagged_Images. Thanks again.
NOAA images
I make sure all my images have proper source information on their description pages. A good place to start is NOAA's Historical Significant Events Imagery search (http://www5.ncdc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/hsei/hsei.pl?directive=quick_search), and put tornado in the keyword search box. The search quickly turns up this image (http://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/images/txstormv.gif) of the Jarrell Tornado.
There's a lot of other image sites scattered around the noaa.gov domains, you just have to use google to find them. Tornadoes are, unfortunately, poorly photographed, so it's going to be a bit difficult to find anything other than satellite images. -- Cyrius|✎ 03:24, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
New York State Labor Day Derechos
What the heck is a derecho? And why are Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania history and weather categories included? RickK 07:14, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)
Jodeci
The one on my user page? It's not finished; I was rewriting the one currently at Jodeci. I DO need help finishing it, though. You pretty familiar with the group? --b. Touch 03:25, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- The article still needs to cover the second two albums, add in Dalvin's solo career, and artcles need to be made for all four members and K-Ci and Jo-Jo the group. --b. Touch 04:11, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
K-Ci and Jo-Jo
Great job! I don't think the individual articloes will be terribly too stubby; each member is known for at least a few things on their own:
K-Ci's article can mention his Bobby Womack influences, his relationship with Mary J. Blige (and the alledged drug use and domestic violence there-in), Sisqo's appropriation of his style, and his 1994 cover of "If You Think You're Lonely Now" for the Jason's Lyric sound track.
Jo-Jo's can mention his guest spot on Nas's "Black Girl Lost" from It Was Written.
Devante Swing's (we should put it under that title) is particularly next-to-essential: he discovered and trained Timbaland and Missy Elliott, one of the biggest production teams of modern Black music. It should aslo desribe his production style and his outside work (Tupac and others).
Dalvin DeGrate had a solo record, Met-a-mor-phic, in 2000. He also briefly dated T-Boz.
And, of course, the usual stuff. Blah blah blah (born MyRealName on ThisDate in ThisCity) is an African-American R&B singer, songwriter, (and producer for Devante), best know nas a member of 1990s R&B group Jodeci.
The seperate articles are good because we can see the members in the year categories and the individual R&B musician category.
I'll try to help out in a sec, but at the immediate moment I'm deep in editing Gamble and Huff, Hum Along and Dance, and disambiguating links to The Impressions. --b. Touch 06:04, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
