April 2008Re:Woah!You're very welcome, and I'm glad that I could help. :-) There are many reasons why people vandalise others' userpages / talkpages; mainly because a Wikipedian has reverted a vandal's mess, or otherwise because vandals simply just 'stroll' across a userpage and think the work we do on here is strange or funny or whatever. Don't let it bother you too much though, because it's only reverted with a click of a button - it is the vandals who are wasting their time. :-) Happy editing, Lradrama 07:59, 1 April 2008 (UTC) HancockIn my autograph book, you asked what Hancock means. It comes from John Hancock, early American leader. In the Declaration of Independence, many signers signed very small so the British wouldn't come and kill them. However, Hancock signed very large. A person's "Hancock", here in this great country, is meant to mean a signature. You must not live in the U. S. Sorry for being obsessive, but I just felt I needed to teach you a history lesson. Me what do u want? Your Hancock Please 00:01, 4 April 2008 (UTC) Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #15The Hurricane Herald This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary, both of the activities of the WikiProject 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. This newsletter covers all of March 2008. Please visit this page and bookmark any suggestions of interest to you. This will help improve monitoring of the WikiProject's articles. Storm of the month  Cyclone Jokwe was the first tropical cyclone to make landfall in Mozambique since Cyclone Favio struck in the previous year. The tenth named storm of the 2007-08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Jokwe was first classified as a tropical depression on March 2 over the open Southwest Indian Ocean. It tracked west-southwest, crossing northern Madagascar as a tropical storm on March 5 before intensifying into a tropical cyclone on March 6. Jokwe rapidly intensified to reach peak winds of 195 km/h (120 mph), before weakening slightly and striking Nampula Province in northeastern Mozambique. It quickly weakened while paralleling the coastline, though the storm restrengthened as it turned southward in the Mozambique Channel. Late in its duration, it remained nearly stationary for several days, and steadily weakened due to wind shear before dissipating on March 16. The storm caused minor damage in northern Madagascar. In Mozambique, the cyclone affected 165,000 people, and left at least sixteen fatalities. Cyclone Jokwe destroyed over 9,000 houses and damaged over 3,000 more, with the heaviest damage in Angoche and the Island of Mozambique in Nampula Province. The storm also caused widespread power outages and crop damages. Other tropical cyclone activity

Project News: Updates on the Best Track - Atlantic and North Indian Ocean, and more According to an email sent to the India Meteorological Department, there will be an online version of the North Indian Ocean best track from 1877 to 2006, scheduled to be released in two months; it is unknown if it will cost money to access. In unrelated news, the project was featured on the Signpost; Mitchazenia was interviewed, and talked about the past, present, and future of the project. At the end of the month, there were five different Featured content candidates (FXC's) by five different editors; two were featured article candidates, two were featured list candidates, and one was a featured picture candidate. The have been a few times in which there were four FXC's from four different editors, most recently in February and early March of 2008. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:45, 6 April 2008 (UTC) ThanksThanks for reverting that vandalism that IP did to my perfectly good edit. :-)

There is nothing about DA in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Turchin (talk • contribs) 15:57, 11 April 2008 (UTC) Tibetan unrestMy apologies. It wasn't made very clear - it seemed almost like ad spam to me: "come visit this site". My apologies again, but if I may, I would suggest that in future a more detailed description, e.g. "there may be protests seen in this webcam from x to x" would be helpful. I'm not sure about the policy position on citing things seen in webcam though. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 00:08, 16 April 2008 (UTC) RfD nomination of WikipediyeahI have nominated Wikipediyeah (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) for discussion.
