Hey, sorry for placing my comment here. I am a new wikipedia user and am not yet familiar. I made an edit to the don mills road page. Don mills ends at John street not steeles. I was giving my friends directions to my house and got them lost by making this mistake. Later on I drove to the intersection and Don Mills continues north of steels. I was wondering if you knew how to find out any information on huntington park drive, thornhill. see you.

Thanks for setting up Simcoe County road number sign images. But in keeping with what's seen throughout Ontario, wouldn't the wording on the actual road signs be all uppercase ("SIMCOE" and "COUNTY") rather than mixed case ("Simcoe" and "County") as shown on the images? thx

Sure, you can recreate the category once it has some content. It was deleted under category c1 (empty for at least four days). 13:44, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject! Our Wikiproject is dedicated to high standards for writing articles about tropical cyclones, and as such our work has been mentioned by scholars and news reports from around the world. There are numerous ongoing projects occurring within the project, including maintaining and updating current seasons and adding new articles to notable older storms, though recently our primary goal has been bettering existing articles to Good article or Featured status, primarily retired tropical cyclones. The next two items are template-form information letters to tropical cyclone participants. First is the ideal format for a tropical cyclone article, which we strongly encourage users to abide by due to our prominence as a leading area in information for tropical cyclones.
Dear Tropical cyclone editor,
As a member of the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject, you are receiving this message to describe how you can better tropical cyclone articles. There are hundreds of tropical cyclone articles, though many of them are poorly organized and lacking in information. Using the existing featured articles as a guide line, here is the basic format for the ideal tropical cyclone article.
Good luck with future writing, and if you have a question about the above, don't hesitate to ask.
Here's a copy of our latest monthly newsletter.
Number 6, November 5, 2006
The 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. The WikiProject has its own IRC channel.
Storm of the month
Typhoon Xangsane, known as Typhoon Milenyo in the Philippines was a destructive typhoon that affected the Philippines and Indochina. The storm caused severe flooding and landslides in the regions it affected and was responsible for at least 279 deaths and $747 million ( USD) in damage, mostly in the Philippines and Vietnam. Xangsane formed to the east of the Philippines and rapidly intensified, striking Samar Island as a Category 4 typhoon. It weakened over the Philippines, but again reached Category 4 strength in the South China Sea. After its landfall in Vietnam, the typhoon dissipated, with its remnant crossing Indochina and entering the Bay of Bengal.

Member of the month
The October Member of the Month is Coredesat. Coredesat joined the WikiProject in March and has contributed to many diverse areas within the project. He has written two featured articles on Atlantic storms and a number of good articles on current typhoons. However, the article he is most proud of is a disambiguation page, a sorely neglected portion of the project.

Tropical cyclone scales
The various agencies which report on tropical cyclones use a variety of different scales to measure the storms strength. The most familiar of these is the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale and this is the de facto standard in the project and should be used everywhere. However, as it is only official in the Atlantic and East Pacific, other local scales should be used when discussing storms in other regions and given primacy over the Saffir-Simpson Scale. The Saffir-Simpson scale is based on 1-minute averages, but other scales are generally based upon 10-minute averages, which are approximately 15% lower.
This table provides a useful-at-a-glance comparison of the various scales currently in use. Further complications arise due to the fact different agencies obtain different estimates for the same storm at the same time, so be careful to use the most appropriate source agency.
Have fun with future contributions, and if you have any questions feel free to ask me. If you don't mind me asking, what area or time period do you plan on working on? See you around. Hurricanehink ( talk) 00:40, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey,
I got it from the 407 website. I figured it was usable since it is a corporate logo used for the promotion of the company.

Please, please, please don't move pages with cut-and-paste as you did with the pages listed here. It's a bad idea, as it ruins our GFDL compliance, and it always has to be undone. Please read Wikipedia:How to rename (move) a page and Wikipedia:How to fix cut and paste moves for more details (or feel free to talk to me, of course). Additionally, please don't move pages in such quantities without discussion, as you seem to have done, as mass page moves take a lot of work to do and undo if the new titles aren't the ideal ones. Thank you very much, and please absolutely come to my talk page with any questions. Cheers, Snoutwood 21:19, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay, i joined the WikiProject you suggested to me. Qmwnebrvtcyxuz 15:49, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for adding the template, but i suggest that if you want to add any more Userboxes to my page in the near future, please add them here. I had to take away the template and put it back there (and if your wondering where i put it in that section, look at the very bottom.) Qmwnebrvtcyxuz 00:13, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
I guess I am willing to offer my help on the subject of roads in York and Durham Regions. Please feel free to contact me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fat pig73 ( talk • contribs) 05:23, 26 January 2007 (UTC).
