April 2017[edit]

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Johanna Braddy, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 10:37, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Bradley Lowery[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Bradley Lowery, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. (See section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) If a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello RecentEdits, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Hurricane Irma have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Jasper Deng (talk) 18:27, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Typhoon Kong-rey[edit]

Hello, I'm Meow. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to 2018 Pacific typhoon season#Typhoon Kong-rey have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks.-- 🐱💬 14:11, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 2018 Pacific typhoon season#Typhoon Kong-rey (Queenie). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you.-- 🐱💬 15:53, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

October 2018[edit]

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Hurricane Patricia. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Please take these warnings seriously; blocking you would be unfortunate but may become necessary if you don't. Jasper Deng (talk) 09:40, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at 2018–19 European windstorm season shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that 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. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Disambiguation link notification for October 14[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2018–19 European windstorm season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Libanus (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:41, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Signature[edit]

Hello and welcome. I noticed that your signature is very similar to the one that User:Figfires are using, and it may have confusion. Please see WP:SIGPROB, confusing signature is inappropriate on wikipedia, and I'm here to advise you to change your signature to another one that won't have confusion. If you refused to do so, you may be blocked according to the guideline, happy editing. --B dash (talk) 02:40, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Western Pacific TD[edit]

It is clearly and explicitly stated on the JTWC website that the two systems they are warning on are, as of now, TS Vicente and TD 24E in the eastern Pacific. Also, invest numbers are not permanent and so we cannot use them in the header, and being only an invest means they have not classified it as a TD. Please refrain from adding invest numbers to headings in the future.--Jasper Deng (talk) 09:36, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jasper Deng: Alright, I understand.

Please follow the RSMC[edit]

I have again reverted your erroneous edits to 2018 Pacific typhoon season, once more because you are not following the RSMC's information. Never retrieve information about storms for our articles from sites other than the RSMC's, with the sole exception of the JTWC for 1-minute sustained winds (which is what Tropical Tidbits reports, not JMA).

I really hope we do not have to consider blocking you over this but this is not the first time.--Jasper Deng (talk) 23:19, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sensationalism[edit]

Wikipedia is a formal encyclopedia. Therefore, language like "staggering" is not in accordance with the manual of style.

I am not convinced by your edit summary, although both occupants were almost certainly killed in the crash. But is "marine biologist David Mearns" really qualified to make that call? Daemonickangaroo2018 (talk) 16:22, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Daemonickangaroo2018 As he is the lead researcher employed by Sala's family, I'm more than certain that he is qualified to make that call. RecentEdits^{Message me here!}

I'm sorry, but no. If he was confirmed dead then mainstream media outlets would be reporting it. The marine biologist's opinion is interesting, but it certainly doesn't provide an official confirmatino of death that is satisfactory for our purposes. Please do not change his status back to dead unless you can cite multiple mainstream reliable sources saying he has been declared dead. — Amakuru (talk) 17:40, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

March 2019[edit]

Your edits to 2018–19 Australian region cyclone season have been reverted because they are incorrect. Firstly, please note that tropical tidbits is not a source. It reports information from the JTWC and is a third party site. Secondly, Australia's BOM is the regional specialized meteorological center. As such, the BOM's pressure is what is used, not JTWC. Please keep in mind that RSMCs override the JTWC 100% of the time as they are given their authority to warn for their area by the WMO. Finally, 150 km/h is not 90 knots for 10-minute sustained winds. If you look on the BOM's site, it clearly shows Cat 3 for AUS scale. 150 km/h corresponds to 80 knots. Thank you and please be more careful with your editing in the future.

Article of the month, by Jason Rees

History of tropical cyclone naming - The practice of using names to identify tropical cyclones goes back several centuries, with storms named after places, saints or things they hit before the formal start of naming in each basin. The credit for the first usage of personal names for weather systems is given to the Queensland Government Meteorologist Clement Wragge, who named tropical cyclones and anticyclones between 1887 and 1907. This system of naming fell into disuse for several years after Wragge retired, until it was revived in the latter part of World War II for the Western Pacific basin. Over the following decades, various naming schemes have been introduced for the world's oceans, including for parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The majority of these lists are compiled by the World Meteorological Organization's tropical cyclone committee for the region and include names from different cultures as well as languages. Over the years there has been controversy over the names used at various times, with names being dropped for religious and political reasons. For example, female names were exclusively used in the basins at various times between 1945 - 2000 and were the subject of several protests. The names of significant tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Australian region are retired from the naming lists and replaced with another name, at meetings of the various tropical cyclone committees.

Storm of the month and other tropical activity

Cyclone Fani was an extremely severe cyclonic storm that made landfall in Odisha, India on May 3. The storm achieved peak intensity as a near Category 5-equivalent cyclone with 3-minute sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 250 km/h (155 mph), and a minimum central pressure of 937 hPa (mbar). Fani caused over $1.8 billion (2019 USD) in damage in India and Bangladesh and killed at least 89 people.

Since the last newsletter, twelve systems have formed.

Southwest Indian Ocean
In the Southwest Indian Ocean, Cyclone Kenneth made landfall in Mozambique approximately 1 month after Cyclone Idai, causing widespread flooding and destruction. Overall, Kenneth killed at least 52 people and caused more than $100 million in damage. Additionally, Tropical Cyclone Lorna formed over the eastern portion of the basin in late April and dissipated in early May without affecting land.
Australian Region
In the Australian Region, cyclones Lili and Ann formed in early May and both affected land. No deaths were reported, although Lili caused moderate damage in the Maluku Islands and East Timor.
South Pacific
In the South Pacific, a tropical depression formed in mid-may, but failed to intensify and dissipated a few days later.
South Atlantic
In the South Atlantic, Subtropical Storm Jaguar formed in late May and lasted for approximately two days before becoming extratropical.
Western Pacific
In the Western Pacific, three weak tropical depressions existed during the first half of May.
North Atlantic
In the North Atlantic, Subtropical Storm Andrea formed on the same day as Jaguar, but failed to intensify and dissipated on the next day.

The Eastern Pacific hurricane season began on May 15.
The Atlantic hurricane season will begin at 2:00 AM EDT on June 1.
The Central Pacific hurricane season will begin sometime after 12:00 AM HST on June 1.

Editorial for welcoming new users, by Hurricanehink

Every year, editors new and old help maintain the new season of season articles. The older users are likely used to the standards of the project, such as how to Wikilink and reference properly. Newer users might make mistakes, and they might make them over and over again if they don't know better. If anyone (who happens to read this) comes across a new user, please don't bite, because with enough pushback, they'll decide that this group of editors is too mean, and unfun. This is all a volunteer project; no one can force anyone to do anything. We're all on here because of our love of knowledge and tropical cyclones. If you find someone new, consider using the official WPTC welcome template - Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Welcome.

I also encourage that if you know any tropical cyclone researchers, please speak up and try recruiting them to edit. Veteran editors can't keep editing forever. Life gets busy, and the real world beckons!

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion[edit]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Sleepinthestars reported by User:137.189.240.39 (Result: ). Thank you. A1Cafel (talk) 09:16, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

October 2019[edit]

Your recent editing history at Typhoon Hagibis (2019) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that 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. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Please discuss your proposed images on the talk page if you are reverted multiple times. Noah^Talk 02:56, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Voting in the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 on Monday, 2 December 2019. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2019 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:21, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Signature[edit]

There are two problems with your signature. First, there is an unclosed tag in it, which causes text after your signature to appear in a small font. Second, it does not adhere to the standard timestamp format, as required by WP:SIGPROB: The timestamp must adhere to the system-generated format (HH:MM, D MM YYYY (UTC)) and must not be customized. This is necessary for clear communications and for archiving bots to function correctly. Timestamps that are customized may be considered disruptive and editors using them may be blocked accordingly. Please correct these issues. ST47 (talk) 02:25, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Another problem is that the signature is visually disruptive. That is probably not your intention and many people don't mind look-at-me signatures while others find them obnoxious. You don't have to reduce the visual impact if you don't mind the appearance of your signature dominating a discussion, but it would help others. Johnuniq (talk) 06:54, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please tone down your signature, it makes it hard to read discussion in which you participate. Paul August ☎ 13:03, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Johnuniq (talk) 10:09, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hurricane Michael[edit]

Hey there, I noticed some of your edits for Hurricane Michael. It's clear you have an interest, and a grasp, of hurricanes. I was wondering if you needed any help regarding tropical cyclone articles, how to improve them to a good or featured article, anything of that sort. There aren't a whole lot of writers around here, so any content creating help we can get is appreciated! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:35, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricanehink: That would be much appreciated! ModulatedRotation - Talk here 16:55, July 07 2020 (UTC)

Awesome! So it looks like you edit storms throughout the northern hemisphere. I was wondering, is there any type of storm, or a particular basin, you prefer working on? Also, I wondered what experience you had in developing an article. There are a lot of components, but the basic ones (as you probably know) are the preparations (actions taken before a storm affects an area), the impacts (what the storm directly does as it affects an area), and the aftermath (how the people recover from the storm). Michael is a pretty big storm, and I know it will be a large undertaking for when it is eventually done. I find it best to focus on a particular aspect of a storm, for instance the effects in a certain area, say, Michael's agriculture effects in Georgia. That alone might be several paragraphs, due to the different types of crops effected, perhaps food shortages or bankruptcies, recovery loans. And that might be different depending on the part of the state. The part near the storm's track often gets the worst damage, but to make an article thorough, you also need to mention the effects on the outskirts of the storm. After all, storms aren't points on a map.

So with all of that, is there a topic you're interested in that you'd like to improve? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:16, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricanehink: I usually do the North Atlantic and Western Pacific. In Michael's case, I tried to find citations to do with preparations in Cuba, and I couldn't find any, so I moved on to finding some satellite imagery and then I did aftermath. ModulatedRotation - Talk here 17:48, July 07 2020 (UTC)

Regarding Michael, there's likely more preps out there. here's a good resource where you can find links for Cuba. Also, Cuba would have tropical cyclone warnings/watches (which can be found in the TCR), so you can add those too. Also, because Cuba speaks Spanish, some of the good sources might be in Spanish, but thankfully there's Google translate. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:30, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricanehink: Thank you for your help! ModulatedRotation - Talk here 23:23, July 07 2020 (UTC)

You can reach out any time, to me or the many other editors in the project. Sometimes the hardest part to writing articles is just knowing where to find project resources. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:38, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Warning[edit]

Regarding this edit - please, no personal attacks on other users. Try and keep things civil, even when you disagree with other people. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:32, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricanehink: I apologise, my anger got the best of me... ModulatedRotation - Talk here 20:34, 7 July 2020 (GMT)

It's easy to be way too passionate and enthusiastic, especially when you think you're right. Just try to foster a civil editing atmosphere in the future. We're all volunteering our edits for free, after all. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:35, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricanehink: Appreciate the warning. ModulatedRotation - Talk here 20:38, 7 July 2020 (GMT)

Hello, I'm TechKnow2. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. Thank you.

"After reading the circumstances, I believe you're retarded" should not have to be words engrained in the edit history of 2020 Pacific hurricane season. My personal suggestion would be to take a short WP:WIKIBREAK. ~ AC5230 talk 21:32, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ModulatedRotation wondering if you took a look at the references section. Would you mind removing these ugly red warnings? As a matter of fact, that was the only thing I did when my edit was reverted. Thank youfor your time. Lotje (talk) 12:29, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
