Hi. Are you French? Jivesh1205 (Talk) 11:31, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
- I asked you because of this. The IP is totally right. What you have written is actually a literal translation of the french term. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 11:32, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
- Anyway, I just saw that you are British. Lol, I am more confused now. I follow every bulletin issued by RSMC La Reunion-Tropical Cyclone Centre/Meteo-France and they use the term the IP used. So, that's why I felt I needed to leave you a message. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 11:35, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
- Okay. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 13:00, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 20
Hi. When you recently edited Cyclone Hergen, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Newfoundland (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

SWIO Tropical Depression 12
Can you let me have the coordinates of the last two points you added to the track? What bulletin did you take them from? - they seem to make a rather erratic track!--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 18:18, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
Tropical Disturbance 15F
Just wondering what the coordinates are of the third point you added to this track, and where you found it. It would be helpful if you could WebCite the bulletins you take points from and add them to the relevant basin talk page for the convenience of others (as I see you have done some times in the past).--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 09:04, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Low 17U
What do you mean by "that is normal"? And why did you revert my edits? The 3-Day Outlook from TCWC Brisbane clearly indicated that 17U survived until the 22nd, although the info is no longer there? Did I do something wrong? 72.197.249.141 (talk) 23:13, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
- It is very normal for a cyclone to weaken as it heads eastwards. Bruvtakesover (T|C) 23:18, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
- But why did you revert my edit? TCWC Brisbane's outlook mentioned that 17U was still active, until March 22.72.197.249.141 (talk) 00:05, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
- Never mind, this was my mistake. I was in a rush yesterday, so I forgot to update the infobox. 72.197.249.141 (talk) 00:17, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 March newsletter
We are over half way through the second round of this year's WikiCup and things are going well! 
Grapple X (submissions), of Pool B, is our highest overall scorer thanks to his prolific writings on television and film. In second place is Pool H's 
Cwmhiraeth (submissions), thanks primarily to work on biological articles, especially in marine biology and herpetology. Third place goes to Pool E's 
Casliber (submissions), who also writes primarily on biology (including ornithology and botany) and has already submitted two featured articles this round. Of the 63 contestants remaining, 15 (just under a quarter) have over 100 points this round. However, 25 are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly. 32 contestants, the top two from each pool and the 16 next-highest scorers, will advance to round 3.
Congratulations to 
Matthewedwards (submissions), whose impressive File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg became the competition's first featured picture. Also, congratulations to 
12george1 (submissions), who claimed good topic points, our first contestant this year to do so, for his work on Wikipedia:Featured topics/1982 Atlantic hurricane season. This leaves featured topics and featured portals as the only sources of points not yet utilised. However, as recent statistics from 
Miyagawa (submissions) show, no source has yet been utilised this competition to the same extent it has been previously!

It has been observed that the backlogs at good article candidates are building up again. While the points for good article reviews will be remaining constant, any help that can be offered keeping the backlog down would be appreciated. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
