Can i ask why you removed the word "Scottish" from the title of the Scottish Conservative party? I would revert your edit but there may be a reason behind it. The name of the party is the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party - NOT the Conservative and Unionist Party, this is why i don't understand your edit, but i don't want to revert it if there is a factual reason for it. And also, i don't understand why you removed the link from the bottom of the page either, i'm new to editing wikipedia so thats why i'm asking without reverting, i don't want to upset anyone.

I am sincerely trying to create a page for my friend Matt Luft. He is a famous drummer from the progressive rock band BlueFire. Please see BlueFireBand.com for further information. I don't see why you have the power to say that he is not of notable interest to the public. Matt is loved by many people.
I've said it before--this IP: 167.206.204.101 is a school, and A LOT of vandalism is coming from there. (See User talk:167.206.204.101 for exact details) Appearently, schools are supposed to be blocked for 6 months or less, with the schoolblock template as the block reason. Can you please do this? Or, if you really want to crack down, the you could contact their administrators, whose email addresses I have found after some research. They are: mcamporeale@pascack.k12.nj.us and aatlas@pascack.k12.nj.us For more information, their school district website is: http://pascackvrhs.schoolwires.com/pascackvrhs/site/default.asp

Thanks for the correction! --Mike Searson 20:46, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your support in my RfA. I withdrew when it became clear that the uphill climb had crossed the snowball threshold, but I appreciate your support and the process gave me some good ideas for other ways I can be contributing to Wikipedia. I'll work on the areas that came up in the discussion, and try again after I've gained wider experience. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:20, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Could you please look at Energy: world resources and consumption and comment if it is ready to be a featured article? Your opinion matters! Thanks Frank van Mierlo 12:31, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

The Hurricane Herald
Storm of the month
Cyclone Clovis was named late on December 31 near to Tromelin Island. Clovis strengthened as it moved to the southwest reaching its peak the same day with 60 knot winds (according to Météo-France). The JTWC intensified Clovis more slowly, and assessed that it reached its peak with 65 knot winds on January 2, as it was nearing the Madagascar coast. The JTWC maintained this strength until it made landfall on the island on January 3. The resulting floods damaged a number of structures in Mananjary and about 1,500 people had to be evacuated.Other tropical cyclone activity
The only activity during January was in the Southern Hemisphere, with a total of 5 cyclones existing throughout the month.

The January member of the month is Chacor, formerly known as NSLE. Chacor joined the project in November 2005, and has contributed to a wide variety of articles across the project. Recently he has generally focussed on the West Pacific and did most of the work on the first Good article in that basin: Typhoon Ewiniar (2006). He has also started the much needed process of splitting the Southern Hemisphere seasonal articles. Finally, Chacor is probably the user who maintains the quality of the most visible part of the project, the current activity.

Storm of the month
Cyclone Favio developed well to the east of northern Madagascar on February 12 and moved to the southwest as it developed. The storm did not significantly intensify until February 19 when it was just off the southern coast of Madagascar, but rapidly intensified soon after to its peak with 185 km/h (115 mph) winds. Favio turned to the northwest and hit Mozambique worsening the floods already occurring in the country. Favio claimed at least 4 lives and destroyed thousands of homes.
Other tropical cyclone activity
There were a total of 6 tropical cyclones in the southern hemisphere during February. Five of these, including Favio, were in the South West Indian Ocean.

She has also put serious work into many of our Pacific hurricane articles since she joined the project as one of its founding members. Recently she has worked on 1996 Pacific hurricane season, bringing it from a stub-class article to a Good article candidate.

Comments wanted on project talk Many discussions that potentially have far reaching impact for the whole project are carried out on the project's talk page. However, only a fraction of our active contributors actually engage in those discussions. If you add the project page to your Watchlist and keep an eye on discussions there to monitor upcoming changes, even if you don't participate in those discussions it would help both yourself and the project as a whole. For instance, at the moment the primary infobox templates such as {{Infobox hurricane}} are in the process of being deprecated and replaced by new versions which do the role more effectively.
Thanks for uploading Image:Alexa_McDonough_and_Alexis_MacDonald.jpg.

If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}

Storm of the month
Hurricane Will developed from a tropical wave to the east of the Caribbean Sea and intensified. It crossed over Jamaica and re-emerged over water a few days later. The storm intensified into a hurricane and an eye began to develop. Will became a major hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico and made landfall on the vulnerable Gulf Coast of the United States soon after. To date, Hurricane Will has claimed over 350 lives and is directly responsible for about $5 billion of damages; of which an unknown amount was insured. Despite the damage, it is not expected that the name will be retired by WMO.

The April member of the month is HurricaneIrene. Irene began contributing to tropical cyclone articles on Wikipedia in August 2005, but ran out of steam and left after barely 2 weeks. However, Irene's influence on the project has been wide-reaching. Her efforts led directly to two articles attaining featured status and her legacy inspired many of our most active editors to write a plethora of good articles on a wide range of storms.

The Main Page
The WikiProject has a narrow scope, so it is not surprising that our articles are not frequently selected for Today's featured article. Most destructive cyclones are likely to be mentioned on the In the news column. We have no real control over that, but we should submit suggestions when appropriate.
However, we can do a more lot more to place our content in the other major section of the main page: The Did you know column. In the past month we created over 30 articles. Of these only 2 were even submitted as suggestions for DYK. We can do much better, please submit DYK entries for new articles when you do the initial assessment.
Please immediately cease and desist your counterproductive edits to the main page images. See []. Mindspillage is acting positively and appropriately on behalf of Wikipedia and your attempts to demolish that and start an edit war are quite disturbing. —Pilotguy cleared for takeoff 02:45, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but evidently you are more of a competent admin than I am. I would love it if you could show me this "policy" that directs the use of non-free images on the main page. —Pilotguy cleared for takeoff 21:01, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello! In addition to the fact that this misleadingly implied that the train pictured was the one that broke the record, you neglected to upload and protect the image (thereby leaving our main page open to vandalism via the Commons). —David Levy 22:52, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Hey, amigo, what's the rationale behind your revert edit of this article. Thanks for a quick and enlighting reply.
