At last!!! Jason Rees (talk) 20:28, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

I remember an incident in my childhood. We were at the beack. My grandmother was in the water and suddenly she started franticly waving at me, telling me to get into the water. So I did. As I was moving through I saw why everyone was running for water: a small tornado was winding down the beach. It tore up the umbrellas and matting there, and since it was the edge of Manhattan Beach it just got over a rock and dissapeared. How often does that kind of thing happen? ResMar 04:03, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Well it was certainly unsettling. Tore our umbrella in two peices and carried away our lunch :/ ResMar 13:41, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by Sasata (submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants ( Sasata (submissions), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by Casliber (submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.

Earlier this round, we said goodbye to Hunter Kahn (submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I left some comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Hurricane Guillermo (1997)/archive1 if you'd like to take a look. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 05:17, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Cyclone! I just wanted to light your message bar up again with this. I know that Karanacs is promoting later today, and if the comments from Nehrams that he mentions above are cleared, the article will most likely be promoted. (Who knows, she may promote it anyway, but resolving these issues will make it more of a sure thing!). Dana boomer (talk) 13:04, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

On 11 August, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article July 2010 Bronx tornado, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Since youre able to figure out indirect deaths better than i; Some parts of the media are saying that Dianmu played a part in the Quanzi landslides in Northern China. Normally i wouldnt bat an eye lid but we are talking about 1000+ deaths here so im checking with you before adding them. http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/0811/china.html, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/china-ignored-landslide-alarm/story-e6frg6so-1225904098702, http://www.smh.com.au/world/rescuers-comb-through-mountain-of-mud-20100811-11zpz.html.Jason Rees (talk) 17:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

An article you created has been put up for deletion (no, not Karina :P ) --Hurricanehink (talk) 15:01, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Where are you currently pulling the updated information from? I've been itching to restart a new parser/image generator since the old project has effectively been abandoned. Q ^{T C} 22:08, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Today I managed to track down, the best track analysis for Conson. It appears that the JMA have upgraded Conson to a 70-knot typhoon for a period of 24 hours before its Philippine landfall. Just thought id let you know as i doubt you will be on IRC before i head off.Jason Rees (talk) 23:30, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
