An unclear edit[edit]

Portal:Tropical cyclones/Selected picture/6 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
I've undone the edit you made here, since the redirect target Portal:Tropical cyclones/Selected picture/Sandy Oct 28 2012 16.00(UTC) does not exist. I'm not familiar with the tropical cyclones project, so I'll leave it to you to fix this up if you wish. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:52, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Timeline and Affects of the 2012 Extranonconcentrational Storm Season[edit]

The article Timeline and Affects of the 2012 Extranonconcentrational Storm Season has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Extranonconcentrational only used on Wikipedia, no evidence of it matches any reliably sourced concept

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Prosfilaes (talk) 05:27, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated it for speedy deletion. United States Man (talk) 20:34, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

January 2013[edit]

Hello, I'm TropicalAnalystwx13. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Tornadoes of 2013 because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 21:36, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at April 25–28, 2011 tornado outbreak. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 22:01, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. United States Man (talk) 01:41, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Prosfilaes (talk) 23:06, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Extranonconcentrational storm articles[edit]

What are the extranonconcentrational storm articles for? Inks.LWC (talk) 13:14, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have listed all of your subpages for deletion, as it's been almost a week since I inquired about them, and they all appear to violate the policy against fake articles. Feel free to participate at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:ManhattanSandyFurystorm subpages if you would like to discuss why the subpages should not be deleted.

Better source request for File:Extranonconcentrational Storm 1AU.jpg[edit]

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

File:Extranonconcentrational Storm 1AU.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 23:17, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tornadoes of 2013[edit]

When I take something off with a good explanation, don't add it back without even providing an edit summary. That event was too small for a section and we really don't need you making things difficult. If you want to help, good, but don't get in the way. United States Man (talk) 13:44, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please remember this article is only about tornadoes, not about wind damage. The tornado in Fayette County didn't cause much damage. Most of that was straight-line winds, which, as I said, should not be included. Since there were only ten tornadoes with three different systems, I don't think it qualifies as big enough for a section. United States Man (talk) 14:26, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For your information, there WERE three systems: the 24th, the 26th-28th, and the 29th. Also, as I said, the tornado in Fayette County did not cause much damage (unlike TWC may let on). Here's a piece of advice: Do not trust anything The Weather Channel says. They are almost always wrong and care more about social media than the weather. Ten tornadoes with three systems is by far too small to be included. United States Man (talk) 16:11, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not continue adding Original Research to both the Tornadoes of 2013 article and the May 18–20, 2013 tornado outbreak article. Only 17 tornadoes have been officially confirmed by the National Weather Service. The EF? tornadoes listed in the articles are merely reports and are not actually confirmed tornadoes. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:16, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

May 2013[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Tornadoes of 2013, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not change dates without a valid reason as that is considered vandalism. Jeffrey Gu ^{Love China?} 00:15, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 11[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tornadoes of 2013, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mid-Atlantic (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article 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) 11:49, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of TOR:CON Index[edit]

Hello ManhattanSandyFurystorm,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged TOR:CON Index for deletion, because it seems to be an article that was previously deleted by a consensus decision.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Ochiwar (talk) 06:57, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

==Repost of TOR:CON Index==

A tag has been placed on TOR:CON Index requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's discussion directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of recreating the page. Thank you.

June 2013[edit]

Hello, I'm Yintan. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Tornadoes of 2013, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Yintan 12:16, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. United States Man (talk) 01:05, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

High Temperatures[edit]

What you posted was horribly inaccurate. Please do not use that feature for determining temps unless there is an "OK" on the "Quality Control" heading. Please notice that on the 28th, the temp. "magically" jumpped from 60 to 106 in one hour. Not likely. Other websites list highs in the 80s. Please wait for verifications next time. Thanks, United States Man (talk) 03:35, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted back for reasons explained in the edit summary (and please remember WP:3RR). You are posting that to the wrong town anyway. The page you are using clearly says Kettle Falls, Washington, which is in another county. According to all other available observations, temperatures were in the 80s/90s. The temperature was nowhere near the 130s so please stop changing it. United States Man (talk) 20:18, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you understand. And I would caution that certain data page in the future. United States Man (talk) 20:25, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

July 2013[edit]

Hello, I'm United States Man. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Baltimore, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. United States Man (talk) 23:50, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Tornadoes of 2013. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. United States Man (talk) 17:09, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Valdez, Alaska, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. United States Man (talk) 00:12, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Track map[edit]

No, the other part is not on there yet. As I said about the August section of Tornadoes of 2013, I really have no idea what you are talking about. United States Man (talk) 16:51, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see that now, but it will be moved back to the infobox anyway. United States Man (talk) 20:05, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"We" didn't do anything. I changed it to be more compliant with MoS. United States Man (talk) 16:56, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your sandbox[edit]

I've noticed that you don't appear to be using your sandbox for the purpose it was intended for. You appear to be copying existing Wikipedia articles to the sandbox and then altering the text with nonsense and with references to your friends (or other people). Your sandbox is for edits intended to create or improve articles, not for idle messing around or personal amusement. In addition, the copying of WP articles without attribution may constitute a copyright violation. I suggest that you blank the mess that's currently there; otherwise, I will nominate the page for deletion per WP:FAKEARTICLE. Deor (talk) 12:08, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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!

Member of the month (edition) – Yellow Evan

Yellow Evan has been involved with WPTC since 2008. Since the last newsletter, Yellow Evan has taken 5 typhoon articles to good article status as well as created 2 more. Overall, he has created and/or significantly contributed to more than 130 good articles. Your work in the Western Pacific Basin is invaluable... Thank you for your contributions!

WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors[edit]

Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.

We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. Noah^Talk 04:21, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
