Image:Map of the USA highlighting the Inland Empire.gif

The image seems to cause a problem with scaling. Any scaled size is not being displayed. —AldeBaer (c) 14:43, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Lol, I thought you might know. Hm.. this is just a wild guess, but could it have something to do with the GIF format? Let me download the full image, convert it and upload it to the commons. If it doesn't work, I can delete it anytime. -- But first: Looking for copyright info, I noticed you claim to be the copyright holder. Just to rule out possible WP:COPYVIO: Did you really make the entire image yourself / obtain the copyright? —AldeBaer (c) 16:42, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

At the bottom of the image it says "U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Economics and Statistics Administration U.S. Census Bureau" and "Prepared by the Geography Division (January 2005)". —AldeBaer (c) 16:45, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, seems I had the right hunch about both issues: The image has been tagged with {{badgif}} and {{no source}}. —AldeBaer (c) 17:58, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Correction: Image:Map_of_the_USA_highlighting_New_Jersey.gif was tagged. Could you provide source information for Image:U.S. Counties.gif (which you uploaded) - it concerns all derivatives you made. Where did you find that image? —AldeBaer (c) 00:09, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok. I just tried to convert the source Image:U.S. Counties.gif to PNG (Image:U.S. Counties.png), but it doesn't seem to work. I then tried converting from indexed colors to RGB, but it leads to a file of about 9 megabyte, and commons prefers file sizes up to some 4.7 megs. —AldeBaer (c) 12:50, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Map of Egypt restored

Request help with article Ancient Egypt

As you are listed as a member of Wikiproject:AncientEgypt, I'd like to recruit your help in reviewing the article Ancient Egypt. The article is listed as top priority in the Wikiproject and as a vital article by the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, but appears to have failed to meet Good Article criteria at its last nomination. The article is in need of some serious attention.

In the past week, I asked for (and got) the article to be semi-protected to protect against the constant barrage of vandalism. This protection lasts for two weeks. I also did a little clean-up, added a map and so on. I would like to see everyone in Wikiproject:AncientEgypt have the chance to add their input to Ancient Egypt, and get the article up to featured status as soon as possible. I believe the article is at least 80% of the way there, and some focused attention will bring it the rest of the way.

The most pressing concerns seem to be the culture/architecture section, and the achievements/unsolved problems sections. Also, the entire article, especially the achievements section, the sources, and external links need to be seriously checked for accuracy. These sections also require a little organization too.

Ancient Egypt ought to be the top priority of Wikiproject:AncientEgypt, and I look forward to working with everyone to get this article cleaned up and hopefully promoted to featured status. Thanks for your help, Jeff Dahl 03:34, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

AIV reports

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you! GlassCobra 22:25, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Rpotd Problem

Just about all of the New York City images were deleted (which were any of the ones by Jbloun1). Templates from December 7th to December 29th were affected (except for templates for the 27th, 25th, 16th, 14th, 13th and the 12th). I'll do my best add an image of the same subject back. --Dtbohrer^{talk•contribs} 04:01, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I think it was something about copyvio and how Jbloun1 claimed to hold the copyright for images that were not his own. --Dtbohrer^{talk•contribs} 22:40, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Spotlight Department Qyd (talk · contribs) and Arctic.gnome (talk · contribs) are editors of a wide variety of Canadian related articles, and of note as of this date is the enormous amount of work they have undertaken to help amalgamate all the various provincial wikiprojects and Canadian sub projects into one umbrella assessment department. This unique assessment department means that Saskatchewan related articles can be assessed for their own provincial merit, and also belong to the Canadian wikiproject as well. It also means that editors from both Canada wikiproject and Saskatchewan wikiproject can unite in their efforts to provide banners and ratings to articles.

Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #13

Number 13, February 2, 2008

The Hurricane Herald

This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary, both of the activities of the WikiProject and global tropical cyclone activity. If you wish to change how you receive this newsletter, or no longer wish to receive it, please add your username to the appropriate section on the mailing list. This newsletter covers all of January 2008.

Please visit this page and bookmark any suggestions of interest to you. This will help improve monitoring of the WikiProject's articles.

Storm of the month

Cyclone Gene formed on January 26 over the open south Pacific Ocean. It drifted southward, and strengthened into Tropical Storm Gene on January 28 as it moved across the Fijian archipelago. There, it brought heavy rainfall, which caused the worst flooding in several years. Half of the country was left without power, and the cyclone killed seven people in Fiji. The storm turned southwestward, developing a cloud-filled eye and quickly strengthening by the end of the month.

Other tropical cyclone activity

• One tropical cyclone formed in the Western North Pacific Ocean west of The Philippines, which was analyzed by Japan Meteorological Agency as a depression; it tracked southwestward and did not significantly affect any land areas.
• In addition to Cyclone Gene, Tropical Storm Elisa and Cyclone Fuma occurred in the South Pacific ocean during the month, along with three tropical depressions.
• The only tropical cyclone in Australian region during the month was Tropical Cyclone Helen, which struck Australia.
• Four tropical cyclones, three of which named, existed in the Southwest Indian Ocean during the month. The most notable was Cyclone Fame, which caused twelve deaths after striking Madagascar.

Member of the month

Cyclone barnstar

The January member of the month is Ajm81. A tropical cyclone editor since he first joined in October 2005, Ajm81 plays a vital role in the project. Unlike other editors, who mainly edit articles, Ajm81 maintains and updates the track maps across the project. We thank Ajm81 for his timely contributions, and may he have some well-deserved downtime after the last tropical cyclone report is released.

New and improved articles

• There were six new pieces of Featured content : 2003 Atlantic hurricane season, List of storms in the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season, List of North Carolina hurricanes (pre-1900), 1983 Atlantic hurricane season, 1988 Atlantic hurricane season, and Hurricane Lane (2006)
• New Good articles include: Hurricane Cleo, Hurricane Gracie, 1821 Norfolk and Long Island hurricane
• New storm articles include: Tropical Storm Danielle (1980), Hurricane Elida (2002), Cyclone Elita, Cyclone Indlala
• New non-storm articles include: 2006 central Pacific cyclone, List of United States hurricanes

Main Page content

• Entries from 8 articles: Hurricane Ava (1973), Cyclone Inigo, Hurricane Greg (1999), Hurricane Henri (1979), Hurricane Kenneth (2005), Hurricane Elida (2002), Cyclone Elita, and Hurricane Naomi (1968) appeared on the Main Page in the Did you know column during January.

Storm article statistics

Grade	Oct	Nov	Dec	Jan

Wikiwork and 1000 articles In January 2008, the WikiProject began using a system called Wikiwork, or ω. It weighs the overall quality of the project's articles, and a lower number means a greater total quality. The weighed ω, as used above, is a relative number that can be used to compare groups of this article. As of this publication, the relative ω of the project is 3.404, corresponding to between Start and B class. However, when limiting it solely to storm articles, the number drops to 2.98, which is slightly better than B class. During the month, a new statistics page was created.

Additionally, during the month, Mitchazenia pointed out that we received our 1,000th article with the creation of Cyclone Elita.

Random picture of the day

Hi, I have noticed that you have made many major edits to the Rpotd.

It has been nominated for deletion (at least the template part of it.)

Since I am no longer maintaining it, would it be OK for all of the pages to go into your userspace so we can get it out of template space?

Or do you have any other comments for the TfD?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks, GM 18:40, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok, where do you want me to put the pages? User:Presidentman/potd/Blah? GM 22:03, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

RPOTD

OK, I have created a script to make the moves easier. You just click a link and the move is completed automatically, with the move summary and all.

I can't do the 397 moves myself, so I am just requesting a little help.

The way this works is that I have this page, here that lists all of the pages, and links to the auto-move page. Then, the auto-move script automatically fills in everything and clicks the button. But, that takes browser and server resources, so I am asking if you can help balance the load.

All you need to do is go to your monobook.js and enter: importScript('User:GeorgeMoney/TEMP/Rpotd.js');. Then, when you click the "Move" link on the page linked to above, it will automatically complete the move. Also, remember you must clear your browser's cache "Shift + Reload" or "Ctrl + Reload".

For now, I will take the first 50, so you can leave those. I will come back later to do more, so if you do want to help out, then please tell me which ones you plan on doing in your first run so we can coordinate the moves.

You don't have to do this, it would just be nice to be able to balance out the nearly 400 moves.

P.S. When you are done with the script, REMOVE IT FROM YOUR MONOBOOK. It is a MAJOR security risk (because anyone with an external link could force you to move a page.)

Thanks, --GM 19:10, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Please also note that the best way to do this is to click the middle button on all of the move links to open them in new tabs. (The scrollbar actually functions as another button.) --GM 19:16, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Nickelodeon Newsletter - September 2008

Nicktropolis a GA candidate

The article Nicktropolis is currently a GA candidate. It was nominated on August 14, 2008, and, as of press, is still pending a review. You can review the article, just be neutral when you do. Here's the important links:

• Article
• Talk page
• Good article nominee page

New look

You may have noticed some changes around the home page (and the newsletter). WP:NICK is getting a face lift, and so are most aspects of it.

Jonathan and Macy are working on this so far, but we'd love your help! If our code has an issue, or you think a new bit of code will make it look better, feel free to work with it!

Collaboration of the Month

Our next collaboration depends on the pending GA review of Nicktropolis.

If there are problems Nicktropolis (per review)

Fix these problems ASAP.

When these are done, or if Nicktropolis goes GA

Work on improving Nickelodeon's article

Archives

We made a new page just so we can archive these newsletters. Go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Nickelodeon/Newsletter. I felt that was a bit lengthy, so I made a shortcut just for it. It's WP:NICK/NEWS. I created that so, if our delivery boy fails, you can still access the newsletter.

Editor's note on the hiatus

The newsletter went on hiatus for around 3 months because I took a wikibreak to get away from all the drama on Wikipedia. Let me tell you, though: I'm back, and I feel better than ever. So don't expect me to put the newsletter on hiatus for a long while.

What is a bird of prey? Collaboration efforts Bird of prey, this month's collaboration article, is an overview of the many species of diurnal and nocturnal raptors. Please help us boost the quality and content of this important article—which is currently a mere start! In a related note, be sure to vote for November's collaboration, which will be chosen on 21 October. As always, we could use a few new nominations...
Project news A listing of bird-related articles destined for the next Wikipedia DVD is available here. Unfortunately, a few of the identifed articles are currently stubs (Apodiformes, Columbiformes and Cuculiformes), and others have banners indicating various problems. We should try to get as many as possible updated and upgraded before the October 20 cutoff—the date by which we need to identify "safe" versions for inclusion. The bot that runs the project's cleanup list has unfortunately developed some problems since its last run (in August), but there are still plenty of corrections to make on the existing list! We're still on course to reach our (informal) target of 100 good / featured articles or lists by the end of the year, with only 12 more to go. Antbird is currently at FAC (where reviews would be helpful). Do you have an article nearing completion that needs some copyediting, reference searches or writing assistance? Let the project know!
Bird news A new species of white-eye is described in October's issue of Ibis. The bird, dubbed Vanikoro White-eye (Zosterops gibbsi) by its describers, is endemic to the Vanikolo Islands, which are part of the Solomon Islands. The Wikipedia editor who creates a new article on this species (containing at least some basic information) will be named in next month's newsletter. An abstract of the Ibis article is available here.
Got a suggestion? A correction? Something you'd like to see included in a future issue? Drop a note at the Tip Line with your ideas!

Penguin could use some help... Collaboration efforts This month's collaboration article is Penguin—an iconic and well-known family that is the project's third most popular "read" (after Bird and Chicken). With more than 80,000 readers a month, this article deserves to be one of our first-class entries. Though it's in reasonable shape at the moment, it needs the expansion of a few key sections, and could use considerable referencing as well as some copyediting. Can you help? In a related note, be sure to vote for December's collaboration, which will be chosen on 30 November. As always, we could use a few new nominations—Birdwatching is the only contender at the moment.
Project news Over the last month, we've obtained many new photos from the photosharing website Flickr. Some photos on Flickr are already suitably licensed for use on Wikipedia. However, it's also possible to ask uploaders to change the license of those photo(s) which are unsuitably licensed (by far the majority), and a good proportion of them have been willing to release images when asked. This is particularly useful for articles that currently have no images. There are still thousands of bird articles needing photos and few people involved in this process. Contact Richard001 (talk · contribs) or Snowmanradio (talk · contribs) for more information about how you can help. We have a newly-generated cleanup list to work on. According to its latest stats, we now have more than 13,750 articles in the project, with 760 (5.5%) tagged as needing corrections or improvements of some kind.
Newletter challenge Maias (talk · contribs) took up last month's challenge, and started our article about the newly-described species Vanikoro White-eye. This month, we're looking for someone to create an article on the Northern Rockhopper Penguin, Eudyptes moseleyi, which has been split by many of the world's authorites; this will remove a redlink from our Penguin article as well. The editor who starts this article and gets it to at least a reasonable stub class will be mentioned in next month's newsletter.

WP:NICK Newsletter — Holiday 2008

November/December 2008

Holiday issue?!

---

We know you're going to be busy this holiday seasons, from ordering iPods to unboxing them. So we've decided to combine two newsletters into one: the Nickelodeon WikiProject's Holiday Newsletter. Hope you enjoy it!

Member roll call

---

If you were a member of WP:NICK before the relaunch, please, please, please add your name to the member list! We need as much help as we can get! We currently have 5 members, down from a previous 40+. We know some of you are still here!

Happy holidays!

---

I hope all of you have a safe and fun holiday season, so get outside, enjoy the sunshine while it lasts! (in the Northern Hemisphere) For our Southern Hemisphere folks, get outside, and enjoy the sunshine, since it's spring/summer there!

RfC on Nick.com closed

---

We now have the answer on what to do with this long-lasting dispute. The community has decided to split the Nick.com section into its own article. For this reason, I have opened a sandbox here. Let's get moving so we can fix this quickly!

Slight layout changes

---

We have made a few layout changes, some of which are temporary. You'll notice, compared to last month's issue, that there was an image in this column. It is now gone temporarily for the holiday (double) issue. Also, we have removed the box with the delivery notice to make it less flashy (and there were div issues, if you're techie).

Article of the month

---

Note: This is a double issue, so we will not have an article of the month this time around. Sorry!

---
