@MarioJump83, Shift674, and LightandDark2000: I think that, like the WPTC newsletter, which is named "The Hurricane Herald", we should have a name for the WPNTS newsletter that is more catchy than "the WPNTS newsletter" (which is pretty boring). Does anyone have any ideas for a name? Thanks! HurricaneCovid (contribs) 18:35, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I’m thinking of something along the lines of ‘The Frostbitten Text’, but I’m coming up with blanks here. -Shift674-🌀 contribs 18:42, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Shift674: L&D2000 suggested "The Frozen Times" off-wiki, which is very similar to that, so I think something along the lines of that would be good. Thanks for the idea! HurricaneCovid (contribs) 19:09, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
HurricaneCovid, that seems like a good name. I like the name, and I think it could be a candidate for the newsletter title. -Shift674-🌀 contribs 19:49, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Shift674: Yeah; since some people have showed their support for that, I think we will be using that as the name. HurricaneCovid (contribs) 19:53, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
HurricaneCovid, I agree! MarioJump83! 23:34, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MarioProtIV, MarioJump83, LightandDark2000, and Shift674: I think, that since during summer in the Northern Hemisphere we don't have much coverage of winter storms in the Southern Hemisphere, we should, instead of following an interval schedule for running the newsletter, set a tentative schedule for specific times of the year when we publish a new issue. Here is my suggested plan:

1st issue of the year: January 15
2nd ... : March 15
3rd ... : June 1
4th ... : August 15
5th ... : November 1

We probably shouldn't follow those exact dates, but something along the lines of that every year. Let me know what you think of these ideas. Thanks! HurricaneCovid (contribs) 23:54, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly agree, however these issues should be published in the middle of the month, not start of the month. MarioJump83! 23:56, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@MarioJump83: The Hurricane Herald newsletter isn't always posted in the middle of the month, and I don't think we need to do that either. It's fine to have a mix of middle of the month issues and start of the month issues. HurricaneCovid (contribs) 23:58, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's fair. MarioJump83! 23:59, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok! HurricaneCovid (contribs) 00:01, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I like the schedule. -Shift674-🌀 contribs 00:04, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok! Thanks! HurricaneCovid (contribs) 00:06, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The project is starting up again, so I think we should make issues at a slower rate for a bit. -Shift674-🌀 contribs 18:36, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Shift674: 5 issues per year is pretty slow; for the next year we're going to have an issue per every 10–11 or so weeks, and I think that's fine. HurricaneCovid (contribs) 02:59, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think this will be my only OP for The Frozen Times. MarioJump83! 22:14, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, I know you're stressed with college and such and have already written in total 5 OPs for WP newsletters in total. The other editors and me can step in for that job instead. HurricaneCovid (contribs) 23:47, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
