The Winter storms of 2009-2010.

The Winter storms of 2009–2010 profiles the major worldwide winter storms, including blizzards, ice storms, snowstorms, and other winter events. A winter storm is an event in which the dominant varieties of precipitation are forms that only occur at cold temperatures; such as snow, hail, sleet, or a rainstorm where ground temperatures are cold enough to allow ice to form (i.e. freezing rain). The time scope is between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010. Very cold and/or snowy weather was reported across the Northern Hemisphere, with many severe cases being reported in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Poland, Finland, Russia, India, South Korea, China and Japan over the winter of 2009-2010. Even places that do not get more than an inch of snow on a single day, such as Texas, got up to five to ten inches and more overall.

As this occurred, unusually heavy rain hit Brazil, southern Bangladesh, Italy, Haiti and Argentina, while major flooding events and landslides hit Brazil, Peru and Uganda. A heat wave and/or unforeseen monsoon weather also hit parts of Australia. Guam was hit by Super Typhoon Nida on November 29, 2009, and flooding and hailstorms hit southeastern Australia and Queensland in March 2010. . --Snow storm in Eastern Asia (talk) 10:38, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Encyclopedic content

Hullo Snow storm in Eastern Asia and welcome to Wikipedia. Your contributions are valued but you have made various edits to railway articles that fail to meet Wikipedia's criteria.

Please note that while content on your talk page does not need to be verifiable nor encyclopedic, the actual articles in the main encyclopedia must be notable, encyclopedic and written from a neutral point of view. That includes captions to images too.

You may find it useful to read these articles – Wikipedia:NPOV_tutorial, Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style, Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Sources#Sources – before you edit more articles. Good luck. Andy F (talk) 08:49, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Tampers

Just a thought but in the Carillion article, rather than using a picure of a tamper in GTRM livery, why don't you use a picture of a tamper in Carillion livery (see Ballast tamper where you will find a good photo). That said I don't think the article justifies the use of two pictures of tampers as none of these contractors do rail maintenance any longer; so I think it is one or the other and I will leave it to you.

Mineral superpowers

A mineralogical superpower is a state that has a monopoly on a valuable mineral resource like copper, nickel, gold or phosphorus, to the extent that an energy superpower has over energy sources, such as oil, gas, coal, oil shale and uranium. Australia has the world's largest Uranium reserves at 22% and is the world's largest Coal exporter by short tonnes.

Chile is the world's leading copper producer (30%), but the USA, Peru, Zambia, Indonesia and the People's Republic Of China also have major reserves. 21 of the 28 largest copper mines in the world are not amenable to expansion. Many large copper mines will be exhausted between 2010 and 2015. The Sudbury region of Ontario, Canada, produces about 30% of the world's supply of nickel, while Russia contains about 40% of the world's known resources at the Norilsk deposit in Siberia. Other major producers are the French colony of New Caledonia, France it‘s self, Australia, Cuba, and Indonesia. Both New Caledonia, Indonesia and China have sizable untapped reserves. Australia is an major producer of nickel and copper as well as being the world's leading exporter of uranium (22%). Both China, South Africa, Russia and the USA are also major producer of gold ..

A threat to end or the guarantee to supply these minerals could prove politically influential in the future, just like oil has done in the late 20th and in to the 21st century.

Montage pictures

Hi, I notice you've added pictures to several railway station articles. Some of these, such as File:Islip station 12 2010.jpg are montages (two or more pictures joined as one) - but I think that they'd look better if the components were kept as individual images. First, they would be larger, and thus more informative; second, it would allow them to go in different places in the article; third, if a better-quality replacement of one of the component images became available, it would be a simple matter to replace just that one and preserve the others. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:02, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Thankyou for your very enterprising work on these images, but I do agree with RedRose64. Each individual image in a montage is too small to be appreciated, and clicking on the image is not enough help as it leads to an enlargement of the montage, not of an individual component image. Some Wikipedians are visually-impaired and will find montages even more unhelpful. The montages of four images are difficult enough, abut those with six or nine images are very hard on the eye. I respectfully sugest reverting to individual images, and creating a gallery at the foot of an article if desired.

Also, in some of your images the subject is very dark and the sky is almost white. Have you considered using a graduated filter to prevent this? Motacilla (talk) 01:25, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Murdered snails!

The snails were murdered needlessly to create a 'French cuisine' dish and are nearly always leathery to eat according to my cousin.--Snow storm in Eastern Asia (talk) 14:39, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Freshly cooked French escargots.
