Main page appearance: 1950 Atlantic hurricane season[edit]

This is a note to let the main editors of 1950 Atlantic hurricane season know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on December 16, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/December 16, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegates Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

The 1950 Atlantic hurricane season was the fourth year in which tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin were given names by the United States Air force from the Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet. It was an active season with sixteen tropical storms, with eleven of them developing into hurricanes. Eight of these hurricanes were intense enough to be classified as major hurricanes—a denomination reserved for storms that attained sustained winds equivalent to a Category 3 or greater on the present-day Saffir-Simpson scale. The high number of major hurricanes make 1950 the holder of the record for the most systems of such intensity in a single season. The large quantity of strong storms during the year yielded the highest seasonal accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) of the 20th century. The tropical cyclones of the season produced a total of 88 fatalities and $38.5 million in property damage. The first officially named Atlantic hurricane was Hurricane Able, which formed on August 12, brushed the North Carolina coastline, and later moved across southeastern Canada. The strongest hurricane of the season, Hurricane Dog reached the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale, and caused extensive damage to the Leeward Islands.

Satellite image of Typhoon Rusa nearing South Korean landfall

Typhoon Rusa, the 10th typhoon of the 2002 Pacific typhoon season, was the most powerful to strike South Korea in 43 years. It developed on August 22 from the monsoon trough in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, then moved to the northwest, intensifying into a powerful typhoon. On August 26, the storm moved across the Amami Islands of Japan, causing two fatalities. Across Japan, the typhoon dropped torrential rainfall peaking at 902 mm (35.5 in) in Tokushima Prefecture. After weakening slightly, Rusa made landfall on Goheung, South Korea with winds of 140 km/h (85 mph). It weakened while moving through the country, dropping heavy rainfall that peaked at 897.5 mm (35.33 in) in Gangneung. A 24 hour total of 880 mm (35 in) in the city broke the record for the highest daily precipitation in the country. Over 17,000 houses were damaged, and large areas of crop fields were flooded. In South Korea, Rusa killed at least 233 people. The typhoon also dropped heavy rainfall in neighboring North Korea, leaving 26,000 people homeless and killing three. Rusa also destroyed large areas of crops in the country already affected by ongoing famine conditions. (Full article...)

Typhoon Chataan

Typhoon Chataan was the deadliest natural disaster in the history of Chuuk, a state in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). The typhoon formed on June 28, 2002, near the FSM, and for several days it meandered while producing heavy rainfall across the region. On Chuuk, the highest 24-hour precipitation total was 506 mm (19.9 in), greater than the average monthly total. The rain produced floods up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) deep, causing deadly landslides that killed 47 people. There was also one death on nearby Pohnpei, and damage in the FSM totaled over $100 million. After affecting the FSM, Chataan began a northwest track as an intensifying typhoon. Its eye passed just north of Guam on July 4, though the eyewall moved across the island and dropped heavy rainfall, causing significant damage to property and some injuries. Typhoon Chataan attained its peak intensity of 175 km/h (110 mph) on July 8. It weakened while turning to the north, and after diminishing to a tropical storm Chataan struck eastern Japan on July 10, flooding more than 10,000 houses and causing damage of about $500 million. The name Chataan means "rainy day" in the Chamorro language, which is spoken on Guam. (Full article...)

Notice of Dispute resolution discussion[edit]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved. Content disputes can hold up article development, therefore we are requesting your participation to help find a resolution. The thread is "Lists of tropical cyclone names".

Guide for participants

If you wish to open a DR/N filing, click the "Request dispute resolution" button below this guide or go to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/request for an easy to follow, step by step request form.

What this noticeboard is:
  • It is an early step to resolve content disputes after talk page discussions have stalled. If it's something we can't help you with, or is too complex to resolve here, our volunteers will point you in the right direction.
What this noticeboard is not:
  • It is not a place to deal with the behavior of other editors. We deal with disputes about article content, not disputes about user conduct.
  • It is not a place to discuss disputes that are already under discussion at other dispute resolution forums.
  • It is not a substitute for the talk pages: the dispute must have been discussed extensively on a talk page (not just through edit summaries) before resorting to DRN.
  • It is not a court with judges or arbitrators that issue binding decisions: we focus on resolving disputes through consensus, compromise, and explanation of policy.
Things to remember:
  • Discussions should be civil, calm, concise, neutral, and objective. Comment only about the article's content, not the other editors. Participants who go off-topic or become uncivil may be asked to leave the discussion.
  • Let the other editors know about the discussion by posting {{subst:drn-notice}} on their user talk page.
  • Sign and date your posts with four tildes "~~~~".
  • If you ever need any help, ask one of our volunteers, who will help you as best as they can. You may also wish to read through the FAQ page located here and on the DR/N talkpage.

Please take a moment to review the simple guide and join the discussion. Thank you! EarwigBot operator / talk 20:16, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fifi-Orlene / April?[edit]

My digitizing of the MWL sections for the XT database project has been done from 1964-1971...not far enough for Fifi-Orlene. During this weekend into Monday I'll be adding more TC images for the 1963-1971 period (1965-1966 and 1969-1971 are mostly done). It may take another month or two to finish off the scanning of the 1970s, and scan in the late 1950s and early 1960s, depending upon what lies in the library downstairs. The remainder of the scanning for the earliest period might have to wait until my next NOAA Central Library visit. Thegreatdr (talk) 21:41, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All this MWL scanning is preparatory work for what is to come. I'm still putting out "feelers" within the meteorological community as to whether other similar databases have already been developed, based on surface maps and surface data. NCEP and ECMWF reanalysis grids are being used as of late to try to develop similar climatologies, but since they're based on grids, they will underestimate central pressures and strength of winds, even if they had all related ship observations. One of the big flaws with the reanalyses is that there is a significant amount of ship observations which have yet to be included into ICOADS, that still lies on the old surface maps or on paper-based ship logs. If the ship data is not in ICOADS, the reanalyses don't know they exist. Thegreatdr (talk) 22:22, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tina, Fico, then Celeste and John for the northeast Pacific[edit]

Hey there. For whatever reason, I took a look at the Tina and Fico articles. Fico has an upside down satellite image...but that's not the main reason for this chat. It's all about John. While John is the longest-lived TC in the northern Pacific, it is not the longest-lived northeast Pacific tropical cyclone (doesn't seem to matter if you use 140W or 180 as a guide longitude). John was east of 140W for nine days, and east of the international dateline for 16 days consecutive, 17 days total, which is close to the amount of time Celeste stayed east of the dateline. I removed the wording about John having this record from the Fico article. Tina still owns that record, spending nearly all its time east of 140W. Thegreatdr (talk) 17:06, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Im pretty sure the Choi Sum and Passiflora coccinea do not need gallery's, per WP:Gallery since im sure the articles subject could be conveyed by text and individual images. I dont know about Hink here but id like to see any edits that wish to do done in userspace first so we can check tat they are up to scratch.Jason Rees (talk) 14:17, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Earth100, please note that while Hurricanehink is an admin, since he's acting as your mentor, someone else, and that's going to be Bbb23 and I, are going to have to play bad cop. And I have to tell you that your request above is exactly the opposite of what needs to happen. Many mentors run their mentees through a several month long program, all conducted in userspace, before they allow them to edit articles directly; this is especially true for an editor has a had a problem before. You need to do whatever Hh is asking you to do on the mentorship page. Additionally, for the early stages, even if Hh is going to allow you to edit directly, you will need to state exactly what you plan to change, not just request blanket permission to go edit an article. That is, once Hh approves that you're ready to choose your own articles to edit, you're still going to have to do the draft work in a sandbox and then say "This is how I would recommend changing the article." Qwyrxian (talk) 21:27, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure Gallery is okay in plant articles, as a viewer may be thinking: Hmnnn...hows the side-view look of it? What does it look like up close?..and more. So i sure a gallery is better than none.--✯Earth100✯ (talk✉) 08:38, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thats where the invidual pictures come in to play, you can have two or 3 pictures in the article but not a gallery.Jason Rees (talk) 12:16, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can i make a 3 image gallery? --✯Earth100✯ (talk✉) 13:42, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Earth100, I am trying to be blunt here: I consider you pursuing this discussion further to be very, very close, if not already over the line, of violating your unblock conditions. I don't mind that you're asking the questions here, so much, but I do mind that you are asking them, not listening to the answers, and, more importantly, not doing what your mentor is telling you to do. You have an assignment on your mentorship page. Please attend to that first. Please do not starting bringing up edits that you want to start making to articles. This is exactly like training in a skill--let's say, for example, martial arts. If your trainer tells you to practice bowing as the first "skill", you can't go to the trainer and say "Is it okay if I practice sparring instead?" You need to follow the program Hh is laying out for you. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:06, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As Qwyrxian has generously included me as a "bad cop", I'm pretty much going echo what he's already said. You must follow Hink's instructions. The best questions you could possibly ask would be about the instructions and about the assignments he's given you. You must stop being so eager to edit articles, regardless of the contemplated edit. I already told you that this is going to require patience on your part. You are fortunate that Hink is willing to work with you, but if you aren't willing to work him and abide by his rules, then you're wasting his time and everyone else's time. So, forget your own agenda completely. Act like nothing else exists except your mentorship program, and just do what the teacher tells you to do. If you can't live with that, then you shouldn't have enrolled in the course. It's not a good sign for you to be having this much trouble so early in the process.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:11, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, not quid-pro-quo, but more like requirement that you review at least 2 for every one you nominate. I think the same requirement should be for WP:GAN, as well. But that's just a personal opinion / idea I've been mulling around, I've seen prior discussions about this and it's quite doubtful the community will go for it. However, I do like your method. :) Thanks again, — Cirt (talk) 20:41, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre[edit]

Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members).

So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:

  • Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with (at the time this message was sent out, 2 recruiters have volunteered), the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available".
  • Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497).
  • Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along.

A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk)

Snow in Florida[edit]

Hi Hink,

I hope things have been going well with you since we were last in touch. I've renominated Snow in Florida to go up on the main page here. Any help you can provide in addressing the concerns that have been raised there would be greatly appreciated. Some of the concerns, such as replacing the deadlinks, are things that I do not know how to resolve, and I thought that, as the article's original FL nominator, you would probably be the best editor from whom to request aid.
