Another hail storm for you to indulge yourself with...

[1]... --D_arkF_alls ^talk 06:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

The first line of the current quote on my userpage refers to this storm :) At the moment I'm still not sure it's notable — $138m doesn't even put it inside the top 10 costliest natural disasters (insured damage), whereas the rest are (1999: ~1700, 1990: ~390, 1991: ~220, 1947: no figures, my best guess would be greater than 300 in todays' figures). As the report says, "has hit $138 million - a figure insurers are expecting to rise over the coming days" — I think I'll wait to see if it makes 200mil :) Cheers, Daniel 09:41, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Whatever happened to the anything-that-has-verifiable-sources-is-notable mentality? :p --D_arkF_alls ^talk 10:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm notable therefore :) Daniel 10:31, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Still don't understand your attraction to hailstorms... --D_arkF_alls ^talk 06:07, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I never said I did either :) Daniel 11:03, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

How-to needed

Hi,

I seem to be involved in a revert war over four words ("like theories of gravitation") in the article Objections to Evolution. I'm not sure where to go here; there doesn't seem to be a good how-to article on what to do in the case of an apparently irreconcilable edit dispute. The article "Requests for mediation/Guide to filing a Request for Mediationn" links to your name (under "please feel free to ask the Committee Chair") as who to ask about mediation procedures, so I'm asking-- what do I do next? (Talk:Objections_to_evolution has some of the discussion.))Geoffrey.landis (talk) 00:03, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

I would suggest first having a request for comment on the article, then enlisting the help of the Mediation Cabal, prior to formal mediation. For more information, see Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. Thanks, Daniel 08:07, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Email

Email sent from me. I don't think it would be smart to publish on-wiki that discussion so just a confirmation please. If I'm wrong, then I'll drop the issue. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 10:21, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

On 16 December, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article 1947 Sydney hailstorm, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Enough with the hailstormcruft already! — Dihydrogen Monoxide 22:13, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

*slap Dihydrogen Monoxide* Thanks EncycloPetey! Daniel 22:38, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

OK, OK

Forget about me saying that he was a great editor once. Sorry if I gloryfied him. Maser ^(Talk!) 18:29, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

It wasn't just glorification, it was simply patently false. Daniel 22:38, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Canvassing

Yeah, interesting how that's enforced on one side around here, huh. Mindraker (talk) 22:58, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
