Hey

Hey. Is Hurricane Joanne (1972) even notable? Jeffrey Gu| ^Cyclone 03:25, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Idk, but again, will you please work on existing articles? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 03:46, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Jeffrey Gu|

January 2012

Your recent editing history at Typhoon Tip shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.

If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly. Sorry, HurricaneFan 25 — 00:47, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you know, that Typhoon Tip is referred as Super Typhoon Tip. Everybody knows. Jeffrey Gu|

^Cyclone 00:49, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, actually, it is just Typhoon Tip. – TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 00:52, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, I wonder why it is an unofficial term. Jeffrey Gu|

^Cyclone 00:55, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jeffrey, if you over-step one more time, I will report you to ANI for disruption. Consider this your final warning. (No, please don't retire; if you are unsure about something or think people might disagree, just ask first. BTW, typhoons were only designated as "super typhoons" starting in 2009 by the HKO.) HurricaneFan 25 — 00:57, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you are gonna give him a blunt warning Hurricanefan25 get your facts straight. The STY designation has been used for some years by the JTWC however it is considered unofficial since the JTWC is not and has never been the official warning centre for the WPAC.Jason Rees (talk) 01:14, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note about "Super Typhoon"

Please understand that "Super Typhoon" is an unofficial term used by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Since the Japan Meteorological Agency is the official RSMC for the Western Pacific, we use their terminology as the official terms (Tropical Depression, Tropical Storm, Severe Tropical Storm, and Typhoon). This comes into play for article titles and Super Typhoon is not applicable. Therefore, Super Typhoon Betty (1987) must be moved to the proper place - Typhoon Betty (1987) Cyclonebiskit (talk) 22:55, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved it successfully. Jeffrey Gu|

^Cyclone 23:10, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oy

Where does http://www.typhoon2000.ph/stormstats/WorstLuzonTyphoons.htm say anything about Typhoon Betty being retired by PAGASA?.Jason Rees (talk) 16:24, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, but it says the damage that led to retiremnt. I fount this helpful source that might be acceptable:http://www.typhoon2000.ph/oldPAGASAnames.jpg Jeffrey Gu|

^Cyclone 16:31, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The link still doesn't prove it was retired. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:36, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find anymore of that retirement thing, google finds you random things. Where can I get another retirement source? Jeffrey Gu|

^Cyclone 18:34, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I think that link proves it, as it tells you that it had Helming instead of Herming. Jeffrey Gu|

^Cyclone 18:34, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't de facto mean the name was retired. Tropical Storm Knut was removed from the naming list in the EPAC, but wasn't retired. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:36, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We do require a source for the retirement of the name im afraid.Jason Rees (talk) 19:26, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We could add the {{citation needed}} template if there isn't a source. Jeffrey Gu|

^Cyclone 21:08, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Or we could just ignore the fact that it was retired until we get a proper source. This is my preferred option since otherwise it is OR.Jason Rees (talk) 21:11, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How?

How do I crop images? Jeffrey Gu| ^Cyclone 23:42, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You do it offline in Photoshop or something like that, and then you re-upload it. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:09, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I won't report you just yet, though – just be careful for now. Hurricanefan25 (talk · contribs) 19:26, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh no! I accidentally used my IP again! :( Now I"M discouraged! Jeffrey Gu|

^Cyclone 22:12, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jeffrey, I suggest you focus on some articles that aren't Good articles or Featured articles. You've created quite a few articles. Why not work on fixing them all up and nominating them for good article status (after you work on them and expand them). Don't be discouraged. Just find something else if you're facing troubles in one area! :) --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:33, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I also have many more ideas for articles on storms, like Nora of 1973, Typhoon Jane of 1950, Hurricane Diana of 1972, Hurricane Hyacinth of 1972, etc. Jeffrey Gu|

^Cyclone 22:47, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, I recommend you stay away from writing for a while, considering how many you've made that are starts or stubs. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:53, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sic

Per wikipedias rules - if you come across a spelling mistake in a reference followed by the word [Sic] do not correct the spelling as otherwise people will not be able to verify the article.Jason Rees (talk) 07:15, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just fully protected Typhoon Tip because of your repeated edits on this and a few other points. I very nearly just blocked you instead, because it looks like the fault is primarily yours. You keep making changes against WP:MOS, and when others revert your, it looks like your first step is to re-revert, rather than engage in discussion on the talk page, as you should do. You have to stop edit warring. Qwyrxian (talk) 09:22, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Sorry for violating Three revert rule. I did Not mean to do that, Jeffrey Gu|

^Cyclone 13:57, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You violated it twice. Hurricanefan25 (talk · contribs) 14:04, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. Im really sorry. Jeffrey Gu|

^Cyclone 14:10, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Again, it's fine now - just don't do it again. Think before you click ;) Hurricanefan25 (talk · contribs) 14:24, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Could any admin delete Typhoon Flo (1990)? I created a new version and is way longer than before. Jeffrey Gu| ^Cyclone 02:50, 16 January 2012 (UTC)~~[reply]

Never mind. Someone moved it. JEFFREY GU (TALK TO JEFFREY GU | EDITS | SANDBOX) 03:26, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you remove capital letters in your signature, it makes it seems like you are shouting. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 03:39, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done Jeffrey Gu (Talk to Jeffrey Gu | Edits | Sandbox) 14:00, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for making the change. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:50, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A point of order is due here: I was the one who requested the protection of the Typhoon Tip article because I have it on my watchlist from previously reverting vandalism to it and saw the long slow-running edit war that appeared to be taking place. I'm here to suggest, Jeffrey, that if you feel the need for a more experienced user to help guide you along the way with Wikipedia, you only have to ask, rather than making edits that might get you into trouble. I'd be happy to help mentor you if you feel there's a need. Strange Passerby (talk • cont) 22:31, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I saw. In the RFPP page history I saw it. Jeffrey Gu (Talk to Jeffrey Gu | Edits | Sandbox) 01:42, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~I used my IP to request a history merge on Typhoon Ruby (1988). Will anyone do this? Jeffrey Gu (Talk to Jeffrey Gu | Edits | Sandbox) 18:16, 21 January 2012 (UTC)~~[reply]

Crop this image

Would any of you crop the image above? Typhoon Vera is located at the left. Jeffrey Gu (Talk to Jeffrey Gu | Edits | Sandbox) 01:11, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Scratch that. I don't want to create Vera anymore Jeffrey Gu (Talk to Jeffrey Gu | Edits | Sandbox) 01:15, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Overlink

Please read up on this policy - things like Apple Pear Orange do not need to be linked.Jason Rees (talk) 22:02, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop linking common terms, Jeffrey. If you'd like someone more experienced to guide you along, my offer from 16 January is still open. Strange Passerby (talk • cont) 23:08, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So? I linked "equator" and IT IS NOT a common term! :P Jeffrey Gu (Talk to Jeffrey Gu | Edits | Sandbox) 21:55, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Equator may not be a common term (IMO) but "apple", "rice", "peach", "crops", "capital city" and "domestic flights" are.Jason Rees (talk) 22:25, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Most_intense_Category_4_Atlantic_hurricanes

Hey, I was wondering why you made this template. There's already a template for the most intense hurricanes in general. There's no need for one that focuses on C4 hurricanes. It's borderline original research, since there's no current compendium of such a list (unlike the list of most intense cyclones in general, which is widely available in several places). Simply focusing on the C4 hurricanes is a bit of cherry-picking. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:19, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
