The groups for round two will be placed up shortly, and the submissions' pages will be blanked. This round will continue until 28 April, when the top two users from each group, as well as 16 wildcards, will progress to round three. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup; thank you to all doing this last round, and particularly to those helping at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Track map program
[edit]I'm using Windows. If you are too, & if it would help, I can let you have the track.exe and the 3 dlls that I have, which I think are all that is needed to run the progam.--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 19:34, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
- If you download the zip file at http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/track.zip and extract the 4 files into a windows directory you should then be able to run it with a command like
- track --year 2010 --name HUBERT --output <pngfile> --input <datafile> --extra 1 --bg whole.png --negx 0 --negy 1
- Ah, I just realised you'll need the world map in png format - have you still got that? It's 65 megabytes!--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 21:17, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
- Download & extract http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/whole.zip to the same folder - the download may take some time! --Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 21:40, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
- Have you unzipped the map? You need to run track with a command line as above which specifies the location of the map graphic - I set it up as a .bat file for convenience. I shall be offline from 12/1100z for two days and won't be able to offer any help for that time.--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 08:12, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Hey it's me the guy requesting Typhoon Gay, anyway, I have been trying the program but can't get it to work it says "The procedure entry point XML_SetDoctypeDeclHandler could not be found in the dynamic link library xmlparse.dll".

TonyTheTiger (submissions) currently leads pool C, dubbed the "Group of Death", which has a only a single contestant yet to score this round (the fewest of any group), as well five contestants over 100 points (the most).

Your GA nomination of Hurricane Ida (2009)
[edit]Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that I've begun my review of your GA nomination. I should have my initial assessment up within a day or two, although based on my initial skimming of the article and your excellent track record, I doubt it will require many changes to get it to GA status.

Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #29
[edit]
The Hurricane Herald This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary of the WikiProject's progress 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. Please visit this page and bookmark any suggestions of interest to you. This will help improve monitoring of the WikiProject's articles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
From the editors
The project has gone since August without a newsletter, due to a lack of interest in its publication and development. This issue aims to catch up on major events and milestones since late summer 2009, and set a series of goals for the upcoming hurricane seasons. Your help in writing future issues is appreciated. Tropical cyclone activity Typhoons Morakot, Ketsana, and Parma caused extensive damage to China, Taiwan, Philippines, and Vietnam in August and September. Their collective damages total in the billions of dollars and each storm caused hundreds of fatalities. All three of the storms' names were subsequently retired. Member of the month ![]() Thegreatdr (talk · contribs) is thanked for his tireless improvement of high-profile tropical cyclone and general meteorology articles; his production of rainfall maps for individual storms; and for his willingness to share his expertise where needed. Thegreatdr is largely responsible for the project's continued success, and has been instrumental in resolving many debates and discussions. Members New and improved articles Goals for the upcoming season Nonetheless, the project should encourage new editors to get involved; for this purpose the standard Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Invite template may be used. The project should also make an effort to evaluate existing recognized content. A Project audit of featured articles has been proposed; ideally, each article should be reviewed for continued compliance with the FA criteria. Articles that no longer meet the criteria may be nominated for demotion, or alternatively, improved and updated. Main Page content Article statistics

[edit]Hi Cyclonebiskit. I archived your most recent FAC nom due to lack of feedback. Because there was so little feedback, if you have another article ready to go you can nominate it without waiting the 14 days. For this particular article, however, any future nomination should wait the two weeks. Thanks, and good luck next time! Karanacs (talk) 01:04, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Re: Stan
[edit]Here are my thoughts on it. There probably shouldn't be a separate article on the other flooding in Central America. There's too much overlap, and most of the operational newspaper sources said they were the same storm (sort of like TD 16 08). If you were to have two articles, I think there'd be too little on Stan. On the other hand, it could be a Klaus/Marco situation. Make sure the Stan article focuses entirely on Mexico, with a paragraph (and sub-article) on the rest of Central America. It's your call how you want to handle it, although I would push for one single article on Stan and the Central America flooding, since they were the same larger event. --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:39, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

ThinkBlue (submissions) and
Arsenikk (submissions), who were solidly second and third respectively. There were a good number of high scorers this round- competition was certainly tough!

2009-10 SPAC
