  • Should the image in the nomination section be in the article or should a picture from the article be in the nomination section?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 23:09, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Could the main image be reformatted with normal borders.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 23:09, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
    • I added the satellite image to the article. I'm not sure what your second question means. --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:12, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

List of tallest buildings in San Francisco

[edit]
  • The formatting of the general references, specific references and notes does not follow conventions I am use to seeing. Please review WP:CITE and WP:FN.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 23:35, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
  • The formatting of the second image is odd in high resolution views (I use 1680x1050).--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 23:35, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
    • So are you proposing to remove the image? Cheers, Rai-me 23:49, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
      • It seems to be using a scroll bar, but it is less than 1680px wide. Is this correct?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 07:34, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
        • It is set for 1000px resolution and is using the wide image template; I have changed it to 1300px resolution, but will change it again if you think it wise. However, I am unsure about the scroll bar; it does not appear on my screen, and there is no mention of one at Template:Wide image. Cheers, Rai-me 13:49, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
          • I am not a picture guy. I am not sure if any size is better than another. I am just trying to figure out why I have something that looks like it is trying to produce a scroll bar when it is not necessary. I thing the problem is with the code in {{wide image}}. When I set my resolution to 1068x724 the scroll bar is necessary because 1300px will not show up on the screen at one time when it is only 1068px wide. I wish wide image could be set not to format for scroll bars when the picture display attempts a narrower width than the screen resolution's width.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 04:20, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
            • My screen resolution's width is also wider than that of the picture display, but I do not see any scroll bar. On another computer, I have also seen the the image display set at a much larger width than that of the screen resolution, yet still there was no scroll bar. That is why I am confused by this.

List of cities and towns in Tennessee

[edit]
All of the state's municipalities are incorporated. The entire list is of incorporated municipalities. A "municipality" cannot exist without being "incorporated." However, do you think that the word "municipality" needs to be prefaced by "incorporated" at each usage? --Orlady (talk) 00:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
I guess it is O.K., but it just seems saying 347 incorporated municipalities and then 212 municipalities leaves the door open for people to wonder.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 23:44, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Ah, now I get it! I fixed the article to reduce the confusion. --Orlady (talk) 01:23, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Um, what do you mean by "bullet pointed municipality"? --Orlady (talk) 00:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
The four types in the first section.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 23:44, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Good idea. I've added information on the largest home rule municipalities and the largest cities using two "bulleted" types of charter; the bullets already listed all of the municipalities using two of the "bulleted" charters. --Orlady (talk) 01:23, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

List of New Jersey Devils players

  • It seems to me that "for the New Jersey Devils in the National Hockey League" s/b "for the New Jersey Devils of National Hockey League" or "in the National Hockey League for the New Jersey Devils"--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 04:58, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I grew up listening to American Broadcasts in Buffalo and the Southern Ontario feed of "Hockey Night in Canada and never heard the term match. It is usually called a game, AFIK.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 04:58, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Does the 1966 technology explain the lack of pre-1959 Cat 5s. If not, what are some possible reasons?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 08:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Do you have hour breakdowns for the two two timers?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 08:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Does the Super Typhoon Paka explanation contradict the Ioke explanation.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 08:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I do not understand why a Hurricane would dissipate as it goes out to sea. From my minimal understanding of them, it seems that they gather strenthg over water? Just asking.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 08:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I clarified how hurricanes die over water
  • I made it clear in the lead that a Category 5 Pacific hurricane is east of the dateline. So, the Paka explanation does not contradict Ioke because Ioke was at Category 5 intensity on both sides of the dateline.
  • The list mentions how before ~1966 the number of Pacific hurricanes was underestimated due to a lack of observations. Basically, if no one observed a tropical cyclone it is not in the official record. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 06:03, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I added a mention of how long each portion was for the 2 two-timers. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 06:13, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

List of signatories of the United States Constitution

[edit]

I'd like to see the notes at the bottom of the table (e.g., "The only person to sign all four great state papers of the United States: the Articles of Association, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the United States Constitution") converted to text discussing the people who signed multiple documents. (One reason for this is that I have a hard time seeing the teeny-tiny note callouts in the table.) Alternatively, make the footnote callouts bigger and add a footnote for the ones who signed both the Declaration and the Constitution. --Orlady (talk) 01:14, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

This was going to be my fifth vote until I noticed that is not laid out well for high resolution viewing because the picture obscures the upper right corner of the table and the Politics and government of India template should be moved up.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 04:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

List of California hurricanes

[edit]
  • Does the phrase a possible hurricane mean that the records from 150 years ago are not clear, that if the hurricane had gone on the path toward California it might have become one, or that technology did not exist to precisely measure hurricanes 150 years ago.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 07:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Only rainfall? Is it always too warm for hail. There are a lot of mountains in California and if there is a lot of precipitation, it would seem that hail might result.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 07:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I do not have a perspective of any of the trajectories in California. Do the storms tend to head Northward like Gulf coast storms seem to. Eastward? Do these storms tend to cause rain in the southwest desserts? Just curious.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 07:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I clarified the possible hurricane phrase by saying it was recently discovered and reconstructed.
  • I mentioned how hail is unusual in tropical cyclones because they don't have much supercooled water or strong updrafts.
  • The section about how it is a rare event explains why California tropical cyclones are rare; basically. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 05:49, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
