Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to National Weather Service Norman, Oklahoma may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
Thanks, BracketBot ( talk) 23:33, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
When starting two articles in my user-space before starting the actual article, I only copied the text when starting the actual page, rather than moving the pages. I apologize. Dustin talk 16:52, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
You ask "Is there any was to protest against the deletion of a page". There are several ways, but starting multiple threads on the help desk, or indeed at any forum, is a bad idea. It is apt to make people respond negatively or not at all.
The formal way to contest a deletion is via Deletion review. For a speedy deletion, such as this, a private conversation with the deleting admin, on his or her talk page, is often a good way to start.
I am going to look at the deleted page now, and I may comment further after that. DES (talk) 21:46, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi,
I understand your arguments but this image of the multiple tornado tracks on that day shows that they all could be named "Zone d'Oklahoma City", not only the F5 that passed into Moore. The reason, as I can figure out, that it is known as the F5 Bridge Creek–Moore tornado is specifically to identify the track that reached the F5 level and discriminate from other tornadoes, whatever damages it has caused when it was F0 to F4. The text describing the event shows anyway the extend of its track and the title of the section does not have be the list of cities impacted or a vague "Oklahoma City zone" moniker.
In any case, you might have good arguments but since you are from English Wikipedia, you should discuss there first about any changes. I will remind you that there is many SPC and NWS contributors to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Severe weather and that is the place for you to discuss the matter. If the English community accept and make any change, I will do the same in French, but not before. You cannot impose something on other Wikis that you cannot pass on your own Wiki.
Sincerely yours,

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 2013–14 North American winter storms is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2013–14 North American winter storms until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. United States Man ( talk) 04:14, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Don't bother warning that user (Oops IP18), or any of his sock IPs. They are all sockpuppets of User:IPhonehurricane95, and no, he will not stop vandalizing articles or creating new accounts. He's been known to vandalize tropical-cyclone articles, as well as the articles you saw him dumping junk at. He's been vandalizing since August 2011, with 334 sockpuppets as of today, and he's also resorted to attacking his blocking admins. However, he's rangeblocked for a month, so that should take the problem off our hands for a while. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 01:28, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
IPhonehurricane "hates" more users than just Yellow Evan. He also hates pretty much every single admin that ever blocked him, probably because his block is upsetting him that much, as well as a handful of other users responsible for reporting him, including me. He also has some hate issues with Americans (because he blames America's bombing of Nagasaki for the death of his Great-Grandparent), Japanese (because of their cruelty to the Chinese during WWII), and Koreans, as revealed on some his his talk pages as well as his SPI case archive. However, he is a vandalist; some of his contributions from that account seems good, but keep in mind that he typed some swear words and other personal attacks using that account as well. Also, it's not the account that determines whether the editor is good or bad; it's the person behind the accounts. And this guy has abused over 336 IPs and sock accounts to vandalize repetitively across multiple Wikimedia Projects since May 2011, with his IP edits extending back to 2006. I can't explain everything here, but this should give you at least a general idea. You can ask his blocking admins for more info on his vandalism. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 05:26, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
User:IPhonehurricane95 Sockpuppet investigations The Sockpuppetry guidelines page should help you file this report. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 05:31, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
Well, vandals (especially sock accounts) lack the rights to use Twinkle or Rollback. Additionally, Rollback rights must be granted by administrators, so it is impossible for vandals to acquire at all. An interesting fact to note is the IPhonehurricane95 created his Vicky870 family of socks after he failed his Rollback nomination, due to an insufficient amount of counter-vandal edits, which led him to role-playing his sockpuppets as "good-hand and bad-hand" (IPhonehurricane95 Vs. Vicky870 and other "vandal" socks). LightandDark2000 ( talk) 03:38, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

This might seem complex at first glance and first try, but once you do it one time, you'll understand. So, here we go.
1) Download QGIS (link here)
2) After the download, you'll see that 6 programs we're installed. We're only interested in the "QGIS Desktop 2.2.0" so you can move the other stuff to the recycle bin.
3) The next step is to download the base map. To do this, go here and click "Download Large Size" for the 3rd to last map titled "Cross Blended Hypso with Shaded Relief and Water".
4) Go here scroll down to "Lakes + Reservoirs" and click "Download Lakes"
5) Go here and click "Download land boundaries" under "Admin 0 - Boundary lines", and also click "Download states and provinces" under "Admin 1 - States and provinces". !All these downloads are ZIP files and will need to be extracted before moving on!
6) With all that done, open QGIS and go to the top where it says "Layer" and click "Add Raster Layer". Open the file with the base map (folder title should end up being "HYP_HR_SR_W") and double click the .shp file only. That should load the base map.
7) Go back to where it says "Layer" and click "Add Vector Layer". Open either the Lakes, Admin 0 Boundary, or Admin 1 Boundary folder and click the .shp files. This should load those as well.
8) The colors will be all wacky at first, so to fix this there should be a box on the left side titled "Layers". It'll list the names of the vector layers you just loaded, and underneath their titles should be little boxes and lines depicting the current color of that said layer. Double click the color box. Lakes should be the color "water", and the other two boundary lines should be "Residential road".
9) With the technical stuff out of the way, the coordinates still have to be plotted. To do this, you're going to have to open Excel (doesn't matter which version), and create a spreadsheet with touchdown coordinates using "Latitude" and "Longitude". Because we're going to eventually change the color of them, you're going to have to create a spreadsheet for all EF0s in a particular outbreak, all EF1s in a particular outbreak, and so on. When you save this file, do not do so as an Excel workbook, but instead save it as "CSV (comma delimited)".
10) Go back to where it says "Layers" and click "Add Delimited Text Layer". The coordinates should load. To change the color, go back to the box on the left side and double-click the layer. Click the color bar and change the RGB values to match the EF scale:
EF0 - 0 250 244
EF1 - 255 255 204
EF2 - 255 231 117
EF3 - 255 193 64
EF4 - 255 143 32
EF5 - 255 96 96
11) Now, to get the map to focus on a particular region that captures the entire outbreak, there's a button above the map that says "Zoom to Layer". Click it.
12) Go to "Project", click "Save as image" (save it as a .png). Done.
Let me know if you have any questions. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 04:00, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
Oh, and another thing -- when you're importing your excel files, always import the EF5s, then the EF4s, and so on. This way, the lesser tornadoes will be plotted atop the bigger ones. If you don't do it this way, the EF4 and EF5 dots will hide the rest. Sorry for not saying that sooner! TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 01:03, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
Hey Dustin, I saw your addition of the May 26-31 map and read your edit summary. If you could, go through some of the outbreak pages and only do the ones with complete coordinates. That way, it'll make it more simple to find ones that need to be done and not completely finished. The issue that we (WikiProject Severe Weather) have is that a lot of the tornado outbreak pages rely on information from the local NWS offices at the time of the event, which may not be complete fully and are subject to change. NCDC storm data comes out several months later; many of the pages before 2013 are missing it. I'm working on the List of tornadoes in the May 21–26, 2011 tornado outbreak sequence page right now so I can get that one completed, but it'll take a while..and even then, there are numerous more pages to do. We might have to stop making maps for a while until the pages are complete. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 01:12, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi. In followup to your comment, I see what you mean about Twinkle. I did find that to report multiple socks at once, you have to go to the sockmaster's page and then use the "Sockpuppeteer" function. You will see two spaces for sockpuppet accounts and a button to add more. I hope this helps. — DoRD ( talk) 23:58, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Also, especially with the extra-disruptive sockmasters like this guy, we advise that editors not notify the suspected sockpuppets. Cheers — DoRD ( talk) 00:01, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Regarding this, why do you think the template exists then? I really don't think it matters much; I'd just rather stick with what I've used for years. Y E Pacific Hurricane 21:58, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed your reasonable discussion on the 2014 Pacific hurricane season. Most of us who edits weather articles hang out on #wiki-hurricanes connect where we tend to coordinate WP:TC discussion, and discuss weather, especially hurricanes/cyclones in general. It's a friendly community and I invite you to join and check it out. :) Thanks Secret account 22:27, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
I response to the question in your edit summary, not all IPs (or users for that matter) edit constructively. The reason why they keep changing it to a Cat 5 hurricane is either because they are misinformed, or because they just want it to look that way. I really don't know how else to break it down to you. In either case, just revert it and inform them on their talk page. That should do the trick, but if all else fails, report them to WP:AVI if vandalism occurs after a Level 4 Warning. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 09:15, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed that you suggested me to redirect my Commons page to my active Commons account. I had known for some time that I could do this, but the reason why I have not was to avoid further abuse from sockpuppets. If you examine the revisions history of my Commons account, you can see that I have experienced quite an amount of abuse recently. Since there are more sockpuppeteers on Wikipedia who know me by the name "LightandDark2000", I did not want to identify myself directly on Commons in order to avoid their abusive attacks. Just so you know. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 05:27, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
Hey there, just a heads up, 68.111.70.220 is possibly a sock IP of User:IPhonehurricane95. It originates from where IPhonehurricane95 claims to live, and the articles he has edited (a Japan article, for example) matches those that he used to edit, which hits that he may have found another loophole in his rangeblock. Anyhow, I'm taking this to the admins, just it is really him. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 05:34, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, I read what you posted on my talk page about 7 hours ago. It's pretty discouraging how he came back and decided to launch another personal attack, but I guess that a tiger doesn't change its stripes. Just a piece of advice; you should stop warning him and instead just revert and ignore him, as it is highly unlikely that he will quite his disruptive behavior. And those IPs are his, just so you know. As for the IP I was using, don't assume that it was mine (it's not), I wasn't home at that time so I was editing through my friend's IP during a break on a Physics project. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 05:15, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
I usually edit around 8- 10 PM or 5-6 PM (if I am lucky, during school). This will likely be my editing schedule once I get out of school, though I will probably go an hour or two over the mark. As for now, I don't think that I will be able to edit during the 5-6 time, but if I do, you will probably know. And don't blame User:Typhoon2013, he's a kid in New Zealand. He obviously can't stay up this late (or early, depending on what time it is for him). And if I caused any serious damage in collaboration, I apologize.

Whenever i try to add a user box onto my userpage, i can't place it on the right of the page. It template only has the userbox itself, with nothing there saying where you can place it (example right center left). Do you know how to do this? -- Arbutus the tree ( talk) 22:21, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
{{Userboxtop}}
{{User American}}
{{User American English}}
{{Userboxbottom}}
It would then display as the box you can see to the right. I don't know if will help you any, but I hope it does.

Yes, I know a lot about this. In fact, I'm heavily involved, as I am caught in the crossfire between the 2 sockmaster's efforts to disrupt Wikipedia (as are many other users). I believe that Mr Wiki Pro reverted IPhonehurricane95's edits on Commons because he was in a good mood for some reason and wanted to help out (from what I can piece together from a message he left on an admin's talk page on Commons). As for why he isn't blocked on Commons, I don't know. It may be because he hasn't socked yet on Commons, but I'm not really sure. I do find this suspicious though, and I will probably take this to an admin for more attention to this incident pretty soon. It's a shame that he can't edit positively on Wikipedia like he does on Commons (well, most of the time). LightandDark2000 ( talk) 07:19, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
I saw that IPhonehurricane95 thought he could use another loophole to vandalize when he created User:OopsIP25. I get that you are trying to deter him from vandalism and attacking other users, but he probably isn't going to stop. I do appreciate your efforts, though.

Concerning the Iridescent clouds, I happened to see another one at around 7:10 PM PDT, on Monday, June 23, 2014. The shade was much lighter, and there was only one that time. Unfortunately, I didn't get my smartphone out in time, so the rainbow cloud faded before I could get a picture of it. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 06:06, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Dustin V. S., I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism, spam and blatantly unconstructive edits; using it to revert any other type of edit - such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with - can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, as some admins do not give a warning if they become aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, use a manual edit summary instead of using the rollback tool. For practice, you may wish to review Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback.
Also, I am sorry for the delay with your request; your query on the talk page was reasonable and not at all impatient. Best. Acalamari 22:40, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
In what way is it better to link a redirect than a strait link. The bot is just an automated editor, you do not have to follow it.

@ Dustin (talk), in re: this comment…
Please listen…
Now don't just be plain out rude; if you don't want to reply or take any response from someone's comment, then at least say you don't want to. You shouldn't just delete what appears to be an innocent comment and act like it never existed. You have done this multiple times. You don't own your talk page; others have the right to comment. You should at least leave an edit summary saying why you don't want to respond. Sadly, you are probably, if you are like most other users who I have met doing the same thing, just going to delete my comment here just like all of the others. Please at least give a reason. I am trying to say all of this while being as friendly and civil as possible; please listen to me. Thank you. I intend to cause no trouble here; I just am afraid that you may be causing other users offense in your refusal to discuss and your refusal to give reasoning (it wouldn't be so much of a problem if you at least gave reasoning). Dustin (talk) 03:17, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Do you recall, we have interacted here, at your page above, see [2]? It was about getting the Paul Julian (meteorologist) page up and running. Why not open your Talk to me with AGF, with just ask me "Why do you…" ? (Have I ever been "plain out rude" to you, before?)
As I have explained to others, I am preparing for retirement from WP. As part of process, I am moving the bulk of all longterm interactions/discussions away from my Talk pages. In this way, people experience seeing particular important and long discussions (e.g., on pseudoscience, patents, etc.) away from my pages. In doing this I make it clear that mine is intended as a minimally active Talk page. To further keep it clear, I delete all BOT entries as soon as I have settled the question raised (disambiguation, brackets, etc.). And when a person addresses me over a matter easily settled, I usually paste the full text of their comment back into their talk page, and reply there (as I am doing with you). In other cases, there is no real substance at all to the entry, merely a "come see me" type of entry, and so I skip the cut and paste, and merely reply at their Talk page. This has been a successful strategy. Fewer and fewer people are stopping by.
Regardless of the deletions, nothing is ever lost —— The Edit history is always in place. And others who that dislike me, for being a pain-in-the-neck (because I call attention to unreferenced/unverifiable scientific content, or because I call attention to truly rude treatment, for instance, of new editors by old ones, etc.)—those people routinely go through my Edit histories to find things to bother me about. (!) (This is one of the reasons I am retiring to write elsewhere.)
So, to close, I would invite you to visit my Edit histories to ensure nothing bad is going on. (No one is being misled, and the little extra work of looking to the Edit history, for the fewer and fewer deleted/moved entries—this is not so much work is it?) Also note, I have had this idea/practice reviewed by an editor and an administrator. While neither were excited about it, both indicated it was within my rights. To paraphrase, the answer was "Users are given quite a bit of freedom with their User, and User talk pages. As long as you are not doing anything to mislead people, you are fine to keep your talk page the way you like."
So, I am sure I am OK. Are you OK? With all respect, Le Prof Leprof 7272 ( talk) 04:34, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Sorry about the late reply. Google Chrome crashed on my smartphone 3 times in a row when I tried to respond to your message (and I was kind of busy doing some other things, which prevented me from using my computer), so I wasn't able to respond right away. But to answer your question, I believe that you were notified that I had "reviewed" that user page because I had accidentally clicked the "mark as patrolled" button on the bottom of the page. That wasn't my intent, but apparently, that's what happens whenever someone "patrolls" a page that you are monitoring.
Dustin, good grief. I hate to be rude, but could you stay out of everyone's business. I know exactly what I did; I hit the wrong rollback button. I don't usually leave a message if it isn't a big deal. I don't need to be told how to edit. I'm not sure what it is about you trying to correct everybody, but it is causing me to quit taking you seriously. Nobody wants to be corrected all the time.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Flag of the Federal State of Novorossiya is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flag of the Federal State of Novorossiya until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.
Your recent editing history at List of United States tornado emergencies shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

Just to continue my mentioning of images to you, I have uploaded two new images: File:Oklahoma 3.0 earthquake graph 2014-05-02.gif and File:Oklahoma seismicity map.pdf. I posted more information at User:Dustin V. S.#Oklahoma earthquakes, in case you find it interesting. I have been feeling these earthquakes all the time, and you live in California, so I thought you would be the one to mention it to. If possible, I might consider writing an article about it. I think that some of the sources indicated more earthquakes in Oklahoma than in California of 3.0+ magnitude on the moment magnitude scale. So, any comments? Thanks!

Also, please use a little common sense and go with the flow when it comes to these things. Instead of trying to do everything your own way, do things the way everyone else does and cooperate with other members of the project. It will cut out a lot of this.

Removing an entire section attempting to raise concerns about your disruptive behavior doesn't exactly put you in any more a positive light in the eyes of other editors. I didn't make any personal attacks in my edit.

You ask "Is there any was to protest against the deletion of a page". There are several ways, but starting multiple threads on the help desk, or indeed at any forum, is a bad idea. It is apt to make people respond negatively or not at all.
The formal way to contest a deletion is via Deletion review. For a speedy deletion, such as this, a private conversation with the deleting admin, on his or her talk page, is often a good way to start.
I am going to look at the deleted page now, and I may comment further after that. DES (talk) 21:46, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi,
I understand your arguments but this image of the multiple tornado tracks on that day shows that they all could be named "Zone d'Oklahoma City", not only the F5 that passed into Moore. The reason, as I can figure out, that it is known as the F5 Bridge Creek–Moore tornado is specifically to identify the track that reached the F5 level and discriminate from other tornadoes, whatever damages it has caused when it was F0 to F4. The text describing the event shows anyway the extend of its track and the title of the section does not have be the list of cities impacted or a vague "Oklahoma City zone" moniker.
In any case, you might have good arguments but since you are from English Wikipedia, you should discuss there first about any changes. I will remind you that there is many SPC and NWS contributors to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Severe weather and that is the place for you to discuss the matter. If the English community accept and make any change, I will do the same in French, but not before. You cannot impose something on other Wikis that you cannot pass on your own Wiki.
Sincerely yours,

Don't bother warning that user (Oops IP18), or any of his sock IPs. They are all sockpuppets of User:IPhonehurricane95, and no, he will not stop vandalizing articles or creating new accounts. He's been known to vandalize tropical-cyclone articles, as well as the articles you saw him dumping junk at. He's been vandalizing since August 2011, with 334 sockpuppets as of today, and he's also resorted to attacking his blocking admins. However, he's rangeblocked for a month, so that should take the problem off our hands for a while. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 01:28, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
IPhonehurricane "hates" more users than just Yellow Evan. He also hates pretty much every single admin that ever blocked him, probably because his block is upsetting him that much, as well as a handful of other users responsible for reporting him, including me. He also has some hate issues with Americans (because he blames America's bombing of Nagasaki for the death of his Great-Grandparent), Japanese (because of their cruelty to the Chinese during WWII), and Koreans, as revealed on some his his talk pages as well as his SPI case archive. However, he is a vandalist; some of his contributions from that account seems good, but keep in mind that he typed some swear words and other personal attacks using that account as well. Also, it's not the account that determines whether the editor is good or bad; it's the person behind the accounts. And this guy has abused over 336 IPs and sock accounts to vandalize repetitively across multiple Wikimedia Projects since May 2011, with his IP edits extending back to 2006. I can't explain everything here, but this should give you at least a general idea. You can ask his blocking admins for more info on his vandalism. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 05:26, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
User:IPhonehurricane95 Sockpuppet investigations The Sockpuppetry guidelines page should help you file this report. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 05:31, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
Well, vandals (especially sock accounts) lack the rights to use Twinkle or Rollback. Additionally, Rollback rights must be granted by administrators, so it is impossible for vandals to acquire at all. An interesting fact to note is the IPhonehurricane95 created his Vicky870 family of socks after he failed his Rollback nomination, due to an insufficient amount of counter-vandal edits, which led him to role-playing his sockpuppets as "good-hand and bad-hand" (IPhonehurricane95 Vs. Vicky870 and other "vandal" socks). LightandDark2000 ( talk) 03:38, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

This might seem complex at first glance and first try, but once you do it one time, you'll understand. So, here we go.
1) Download QGIS (link here)
2) After the download, you'll see that 6 programs we're installed. We're only interested in the "QGIS Desktop 2.2.0" so you can move the other stuff to the recycle bin.
3) The next step is to download the base map. To do this, go here and click "Download Large Size" for the 3rd to last map titled "Cross Blended Hypso with Shaded Relief and Water".
4) Go here scroll down to "Lakes + Reservoirs" and click "Download Lakes"
5) Go here and click "Download land boundaries" under "Admin 0 - Boundary lines", and also click "Download states and provinces" under "Admin 1 - States and provinces". !All these downloads are ZIP files and will need to be extracted before moving on!
6) With all that done, open QGIS and go to the top where it says "Layer" and click "Add Raster Layer". Open the file with the base map (folder title should end up being "HYP_HR_SR_W") and double click the .shp file only. That should load the base map.
7) Go back to where it says "Layer" and click "Add Vector Layer". Open either the Lakes, Admin 0 Boundary, or Admin 1 Boundary folder and click the .shp files. This should load those as well.
8) The colors will be all wacky at first, so to fix this there should be a box on the left side titled "Layers". It'll list the names of the vector layers you just loaded, and underneath their titles should be little boxes and lines depicting the current color of that said layer. Double click the color box. Lakes should be the color "water", and the other two boundary lines should be "Residential road".
9) With the technical stuff out of the way, the coordinates still have to be plotted. To do this, you're going to have to open Excel (doesn't matter which version), and create a spreadsheet with touchdown coordinates using "Latitude" and "Longitude". Because we're going to eventually change the color of them, you're going to have to create a spreadsheet for all EF0s in a particular outbreak, all EF1s in a particular outbreak, and so on. When you save this file, do not do so as an Excel workbook, but instead save it as "CSV (comma delimited)".
10) Go back to where it says "Layers" and click "Add Delimited Text Layer". The coordinates should load. To change the color, go back to the box on the left side and double-click the layer. Click the color bar and change the RGB values to match the EF scale:
EF0 - 0 250 244
EF1 - 255 255 204
EF2 - 255 231 117
EF3 - 255 193 64
EF4 - 255 143 32
EF5 - 255 96 96
11) Now, to get the map to focus on a particular region that captures the entire outbreak, there's a button above the map that says "Zoom to Layer". Click it.
12) Go to "Project", click "Save as image" (save it as a .png). Done.
Let me know if you have any questions. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 04:00, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
Oh, and another thing -- when you're importing your excel files, always import the EF5s, then the EF4s, and so on. This way, the lesser tornadoes will be plotted atop the bigger ones. If you don't do it this way, the EF4 and EF5 dots will hide the rest. Sorry for not saying that sooner! TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 01:03, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
Hey Dustin, I saw your addition of the May 26-31 map and read your edit summary. If you could, go through some of the outbreak pages and only do the ones with complete coordinates. That way, it'll make it more simple to find ones that need to be done and not completely finished. The issue that we (WikiProject Severe Weather) have is that a lot of the tornado outbreak pages rely on information from the local NWS offices at the time of the event, which may not be complete fully and are subject to change. NCDC storm data comes out several months later; many of the pages before 2013 are missing it. I'm working on the List of tornadoes in the May 21–26, 2011 tornado outbreak sequence page right now so I can get that one completed, but it'll take a while..and even then, there are numerous more pages to do. We might have to stop making maps for a while until the pages are complete. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 01:12, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi. In followup to your comment, I see what you mean about Twinkle. I did find that to report multiple socks at once, you have to go to the sockmaster's page and then use the "Sockpuppeteer" function. You will see two spaces for sockpuppet accounts and a button to add more. I hope this helps. — DoRD ( talk) 23:58, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed your reasonable discussion on the 2014 Pacific hurricane season. Most of us who edits weather articles hang out on #wiki-hurricanes connect where we tend to coordinate WP:TC discussion, and discuss weather, especially hurricanes/cyclones in general. It's a friendly community and I invite you to join and check it out. :) Thanks Secret account 22:27, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
I response to the question in your edit summary, not all IPs (or users for that matter) edit constructively. The reason why they keep changing it to a Cat 5 hurricane is either because they are misinformed, or because they just want it to look that way. I really don't know how else to break it down to you. In either case, just revert it and inform them on their talk page. That should do the trick, but if all else fails, report them to WP:AVI if vandalism occurs after a Level 4 Warning.

Hello. I noticed that you suggested me to redirect my Commons page to my active Commons account. I had known for some time that I could do this, but the reason why I have not was to avoid further abuse from sockpuppets. If you examine the revisions history of my Commons account, you can see that I have experienced quite an amount of abuse recently. Since there are more sockpuppeteers on Wikipedia who know me by the name "LightandDark2000", I did not want to identify myself directly on Commons in order to avoid their abusive attacks. Just so you know. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 05:27, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
Hey there, just a heads up, 68.111.70.220 is possibly a sock IP of User:IPhonehurricane95. It originates from where IPhonehurricane95 claims to live, and the articles he has edited (a Japan article, for example) matches those that he used to edit, which hits that he may have found another loophole in his rangeblock.

Yeah, I read what you posted on my talk page about 7 hours ago. It's pretty discouraging how he came back and decided to launch another personal attack, but I guess that a tiger doesn't change its stripes. Just a piece of advice; you should stop warning him and instead just revert and ignore him, as it is highly unlikely that he will quite his disruptive behavior. And those IPs are his, just so you know. As for the IP I was using, don't assume that it was mine (it's not), I wasn't home at that time so I was editing through my friend's IP during a break on a Physics project.

I usually edit around 8- 10 PM or 5-6 PM (if I am lucky, during school). This will likely be my editing schedule once I get out of school, though I will probably go an hour or two over the mark. As for now, I don't think that I will be able to edit during the 5-6 time, but if I do, you will probably know. And don't blame User:Typhoon2013, he's a kid in New Zealand.

Yes, I know a lot about this. In fact, I'm heavily involved, as I am caught in the crossfire between the 2 sockmaster's efforts to disrupt Wikipedia (as are many other users). I believe that Mr Wiki Pro reverted IPhonehurricane95's edits on Commons because he was in a good mood for some reason and wanted to help out (from what I can piece together from a message he left on an admin's talk page on Commons). As for why he isn't blocked on Commons, I don't know. It may be because he hasn't socked yet on Commons, but I'm not really sure. I do find this suspicious though, and I will probably take this to an admin for more attention to this incident pretty soon. It's a shame that he can't edit positively on Wikipedia like he does on Commons (well, most of the time). LightandDark2000 ( talk) 07:19, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
I saw that IPhonehurricane95 thought he could use another loophole to vandalize when he created User:OopsIP25.

Re your message: No worries. =) I had figured that you had made a mistake. The vandalism was going fast and furious for a bit. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 22:17, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi Dustin V. S., I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism, spam and blatantly unconstructive edits; using it to revert any other type of edit - such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with - can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, as some admins do not give a warning if they become aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, use a manual edit summary instead of using the rollback tool. For practice, you may wish to review Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback.
Also, I am sorry for the delay with your request; your query on the talk page was reasonable and not at all impatient. Best. Acalamari 22:40, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
In what way is it better to link a redirect than a strait link. The bot is just an automated editor, you do not have to follow it. Excuse me, but I think you are starting to get too involved here, such as jumping on Yellow Evan about a harmless edit summary. Just calm down and go with the flow.

@ Dustin (talk), in re: this comment…
Please listen…
Now don't just be plain out rude; if you don't want to reply or take any response from someone's comment, then at least say you don't want to. You shouldn't just delete what appears to be an innocent comment and act like it never existed. You have done this multiple times. You don't own your talk page; others have the right to comment. You should at least leave an edit summary saying why you don't want to respond. Sadly, you are probably, if you are like most other users who I have met doing the same thing, just going to delete my comment here just like all of the others. Please at least give a reason. I am trying to say all of this while being as friendly and civil as possible; please listen to me. Thank you. I intend to cause no trouble here; I just am afraid that you may be causing other users offense in your refusal to discuss and your refusal to give reasoning (it wouldn't be so much of a problem if you at least gave reasoning). Dustin (talk) 03:17, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Do you recall, we have interacted here, at your page above, see [2]? It was about getting the Paul Julian (meteorologist) page up and running. Why not open your Talk to me with AGF, with just ask me "Why do you…" ? (Have I ever been "plain out rude" to you, before?)
As I have explained to others, I am preparing for retirement from WP. As part of process, I am moving the bulk of all longterm interactions/discussions away from my Talk pages. In this way, people experience seeing particular important and long discussions (e.g., on pseudoscience, patents, etc.) away from my pages. In doing this I make it clear that mine is intended as a minimally active Talk page. To further keep it clear, I delete all BOT entries as soon as I have settled the question raised (disambiguation, brackets, etc.). And when a person addresses me over a matter easily settled, I usually paste the full text of their comment back into their talk page, and reply there (as I am doing with you). In other cases, there is no real substance at all to the entry, merely a "come see me" type of entry, and so I skip the cut and paste, and merely reply at their Talk page. This has been a successful strategy. Fewer and fewer people are stopping by.
Regardless of the deletions, nothing is ever lost —— The Edit history is always in place. And others who that dislike me, for being a pain-in-the-neck (because I call attention to unreferenced/unverifiable scientific content, or because I call attention to truly rude treatment, for instance, of new editors by old ones, etc.)—those people routinely go through my Edit histories to find things to bother me about. (!) (This is one of the reasons I am retiring to write elsewhere.)
So, to close, I would invite you to visit my Edit histories to ensure nothing bad is going on. (No one is being misled, and the little extra work of looking to the Edit history, for the fewer and fewer deleted/moved entries—this is not so much work is it?) Also note, I have had this idea/practice reviewed by an editor and an administrator. While neither were excited about it, both indicated it was within my rights. To paraphrase, the answer was "Users are given quite a bit of freedom with their User, and User talk pages. As long as you are not doing anything to mislead people, you are fine to keep your talk page the way you like."
So, I am sure I am OK. Are you OK? With all respect, Le Prof Leprof 7272 ( talk) 04:34, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Sorry about the late reply. Google Chrome crashed on my smartphone 3 times in a row when I tried to respond to your message (and I was kind of busy doing some other things, which prevented me from using my computer), so I wasn't able to respond right away. But to answer your question, I believe that you were notified that I had "reviewed" that user page because I had accidentally clicked the "mark as patrolled" button on the bottom of the page. That wasn't my intent, but apparently, that's what happens whenever someone "patrolls" a page that you are monitoring.
Dustin, good grief. I hate to be rude, but could you stay out of everyone's business. I know exactly what I did; I hit the wrong rollback button. I don't usually leave a message if it isn't a big deal. I don't need to be told how to edit. I'm not sure what it is about you trying to correct everybody, but it is causing me to quit taking you seriously. Nobody wants to be corrected all the time.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Flag of the Federal State of Novorossiya is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flag of the Federal State of Novorossiya until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.
Your recent editing history at List of United States tornado emergencies shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. 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. 68.111.70.220 ( talk) 17:20, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Just to continue my mentioning of images to you, I have uploaded two new images: File:Oklahoma 3.0 earthquake graph 2014-05-02.gif and File:Oklahoma seismicity map.pdf. I posted more information at User:Dustin V. S.#Oklahoma earthquakes, in case you find it interesting. I have been feeling these earthquakes all the time, and you live in California, so I thought you would be the one to mention it to. If possible, I might consider writing an article about it. I think that some of the sources indicated more earthquakes in Oklahoma than in California of 3.0+ magnitude on the moment magnitude scale. So, any comments? Thanks!

I wasn't going to respond to such a silly question, but, check the past advisory archives on the NHC website. Also, please use a little common sense and go with the flow when it comes to these things. Instead of trying to do everything your own way, do things the way everyone else does and cooperate with other members of the project. It will cut out a lot of this.
Also, when/if you create a forecast track map, please do it through commons as everyone else does. It is easier to keep track of that way. Thanks, United States Man ( talk) 21:56, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
...to stop reverting so often. Communication should take place on talk pages, not through edit histories. Please remember that you don't own any articles, and if you feel that people are constantly undoing or modifying your edits, there might be a reason. Edit warring is not restricted to multiple reversions on a single page, mind: reverting half a dozen good-faith edits in about a day also constitutes militant editing. If somebody makes a valid change that you disagree with, take it up with them and ask them to explain their thinking. Thanks. – Juliancolton | Talk 21:49, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

{{ Use mdy dates}} should be standard for articles as they help maintain the integrity of the date formatting on the page and serve as guidance for bots when fixing links, references, etc. In short, in my opinion it's advantageous. TheAustinMan( Talk· Works) 22:50, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
Removing an entire section attempting to raise concerns about your disruptive behavior doesn't exactly put you in any more a positive light in the eyes of other editors. I didn't make any personal attacks in my edit. Yes, it might have been strongly worded, but that was only because I – and others – feel that your behavior has not been constructive and despite being warned, you seem to be unable to understand the point of these warnings.

Thanks for adding to the help page, but I think that you may lead a new editor astray with your comment. The article, Bhumihar, is semi-protected right now, so new editors and IPs cannot edit it.
