Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Provincial Highway 61 (Taiwan), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Taoyuan ( 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.)

Hi Meow,
This is to let you know that the featured picture File:Noru 2017-07-31 0415Z.jpg, which you uploaded or nominated, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for July 31, 2020. A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2020-07-31. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day. Thank you!

Typhoon Noru was the second-longest lasting tropical cyclone of the northwest Pacific Ocean on record. The fifth named storm of the 2017 Pacific typhoon season, it formed on July 19 and reached peak intensity on July 31 with 175 km/h (110 mph) 10-minute sustained winds. By this time, as shown in this satellite image, the typhoon was located south of Iwo Jima, and had taken on annular characteristics, with a symmetric ring of deep convection surrounding a 30 km (19 mi) well defined eye and fairly uniform cloud top temperatures. Traveling northwestward over an area of low ocean heat content, the eye became enlarged and ragged as the system weakened. By the time Noru made landfall over Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, on August 7, it had been downgraded to a severe tropical storm. It then dissipated over the Sea of Japan on August 9 as an extratropical cyclone. Photograph credit: NASA; edited by Meow

The Reply tool has been available as a Beta Feature at the Arabic, Dutch, French and Hungarian Wikipedias since 31 March 2020. The first analysis showed positive results.
The Editing team released the Reply tool as a Beta Feature at eight other Wikipedias in early August. Those Wikipedias are in the Chinese, Czech, Georgian, Serbian, Sorani Kurdish, Swedish, Catalan, and Korean languages. If you would like to use the Reply tool at your wiki, please tell User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF).
The Reply tool is still in active development. Per request from the Dutch Wikipedia and other editors, you will be able to customize the edit summary. (The default edit summary is "Reply".) A "ping" feature is available in the Reply tool's visual editing mode. This feature searches for usernames. Per request from the Arabic Wikipedia, each wiki will be able to set its own preferred symbol for pinging editors. Per request from editors at the Japanese and Hungarian Wikipedias, each wiki can define a preferred signature prefix in the page MediaWiki:Discussiontools-signature-prefix. For example, some languages omit spaces before signatures. Other communities want to add a dash or a non-breaking space.
Next, the team will be working on a tool for quickly and easily starting a new discussion section to a talk page. To follow the development of this new tool, please put the New Discussion Tool project page on your watchlist.

It appears that you have been
canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While
friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a
neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are
indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain
point of view or side of a debate, or which are
selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of
consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you. It has been brought to my attention that you have tried to explicitly ask uninvolved editors to oppose
my proposal in an off-wiki channel. This is prohibited conduct and will only hurt your side of the argument because such !votes will be more likely to be discounted.

@ Meow: Hi there! How are you doing? I've got a track map request for you. Tropical Low 01U formed a few days ago in the Australian region. It's being tracked as Invest 95S by the JTWC currently. It would be fantastic if you could make a track map for this system—ideally before any of the data points get erased from the trackfile as happened earlier this year with some of the SPac and Aus systems. Thanks in advance! ChocolateTrain ( talk) 14:15, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
@
Meow: Greetings once again!
There's a new tropical low in the Australian region. It formed late on 7 December (UTC), and is being tracked as Invest 99S by the JTWC. Could you please make a track map for this tropical low? The BOM hasn't reported the xxU identifier code yet, so I'm not exactly sure what the file name should be. Thanks as always!

Hi Meow. Tropical Low 03U has just formed in the Australian region, near Darwin. It's being tracked as Invest 94S. It would be great if you could make a track map for the system as always. Thanks in advance! ChocolateTrain ( talk) 06:33, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
@ Meow: I saw that the JTWC was tracking Invest 93S, so I went to the RSMC La Réunion website to check if they'd started tracking the system, and they have. It's classified as a tropical disturbance currently, located just west of the Australian region. Could you please start the track map for this one too?

Hello Meow: Enjoy the holiday season, and thanks for your work to maintain, improve and expand Wikipedia. Cheers, 𝙲𝚘𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐𝙲𝚢𝚌𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚎 ᴛᴀʟᴋ 01:16, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
I am just going to leave your edit as it is since I am with you here. But the problem with BoM in their outlooks, as for example with 08U, they would designate the system before being formed with the quote, "a tropical low [08U] is developing..." before today, which means it still has not formed. It was only since their outlook of 17/1 when they mentioned that 08U have fully developed, hence why editors tend to think that 08U's formation date was on the 17th.

The Reply tool is available at most other Wikipedias.
Research notes:
The new tool for starting new discussions (new sections) will join the Discussion tools in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures at the end of January. You can try the tool for yourself. [5] You can leave feedback in this thread or on the talk page.
During Talk pages consultation 2019, editors said that it should be easier to know about new activity in conversations they are interested in. The Notifications project is just beginning. What would help you become aware of new comments? What's working with the current system? Which pages at your wiki should the team look at? Please post your advice at mw:Talk:Talk pages project/Notifications.

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Typhoon Tembin (2012) into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. This is only one of many unattributed splitoffs. It's from 2012. I really hope you're not still doing this, but have a reminder anyways.

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

You were the only editor who consistently cleaned it up and kept it proper, so I'm wondering if you know how that can be fixed?

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 03:10, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

You are making typos in a live template used in hundreds of articles, at {{ Pacific areas affected (Top)}}, causing those articles to display broken rendering to readers. This behavior is disruptive. Please use {{ Pacific areas affected (Top)/sandbox}} to testing, and when it is ready, copy the contents to the live template. Also, use edit summaries when editing templates.

Thanks for uploading File:Plurk logo 2018-en.svg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{
Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

You cited two sources, but neither of them refers to XHTML as "the XML syntax for HTML", and I cannot find any similar phrases in either of them. I've even checked Wayback Machine versions of the WHATWG wiki from before and after your article edit.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Provincial Highway 61 (Taiwan), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Taoyuan ( 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.)

Hi Meow,
This is to let you know that the featured picture File:Noru 2017-07-31 0415Z.jpg, which you uploaded or nominated, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for July 31, 2020. A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2020-07-31. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day. Thank you!

Typhoon Noru was the second-longest lasting tropical cyclone of the northwest Pacific Ocean on record. The fifth named storm of the 2017 Pacific typhoon season, it formed on July 19 and reached peak intensity on July 31 with 175 km/h (110 mph) 10-minute sustained winds. By this time, as shown in this satellite image, the typhoon was located south of Iwo Jima, and had taken on annular characteristics, with a symmetric ring of deep convection surrounding a 30 km (19 mi) well defined eye and fairly uniform cloud top temperatures. Traveling northwestward over an area of low ocean heat content, the eye became enlarged and ragged as the system weakened. By the time Noru made landfall over Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, on August 7, it had been downgraded to a severe tropical storm. It then dissipated over the Sea of Japan on August 9 as an extratropical cyclone. Photograph credit: NASA; edited by Meow

The Reply tool has been available as a Beta Feature at the Arabic, Dutch, French and Hungarian Wikipedias since 31 March 2020. The first analysis showed positive results.
The Editing team released the Reply tool as a Beta Feature at eight other Wikipedias in early August. Those Wikipedias are in the Chinese, Czech, Georgian, Serbian, Sorani Kurdish, Swedish, Catalan, and Korean languages. If you would like to use the Reply tool at your wiki, please tell User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF).
The Reply tool is still in active development. Per request from the Dutch Wikipedia and other editors, you will be able to customize the edit summary. (The default edit summary is "Reply".) A "ping" feature is available in the Reply tool's visual editing mode. This feature searches for usernames. Per request from the Arabic Wikipedia, each wiki will be able to set its own preferred symbol for pinging editors. Per request from editors at the Japanese and Hungarian Wikipedias, each wiki can define a preferred signature prefix in the page MediaWiki:Discussiontools-signature-prefix. For example, some languages omit spaces before signatures. Other communities want to add a dash or a non-breaking space.
Next, the team will be working on a tool for quickly and easily starting a new discussion section to a talk page. To follow the development of this new tool, please put the New Discussion Tool project page on your watchlist.

It appears that you have been
canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While
friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a
neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are
indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain
point of view or side of a debate, or which are
selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of
consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you. It has been brought to my attention that you have tried to explicitly ask uninvolved editors to oppose
my proposal in an off-wiki channel. This is prohibited conduct and will only hurt your side of the argument because such !votes will be more likely to be discounted.

@ Meow: Hi there! How are you doing? I've got a track map request for you. Tropical Low 01U formed a few days ago in the Australian region. It's being tracked as Invest 95S by the JTWC currently. It would be fantastic if you could make a track map for this system—ideally before any of the data points get erased from the trackfile as happened earlier this year with some of the SPac and Aus systems. Thanks in advance! ChocolateTrain ( talk) 14:15, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
@
Meow: Greetings once again!
There's a new tropical low in the Australian region. It formed late on 7 December (UTC), and is being tracked as Invest 99S by the JTWC. Could you please make a track map for this tropical low? The BOM hasn't reported the xxU identifier code yet, so I'm not exactly sure what the file name should be. Thanks as always!

@ Meow: I saw that the JTWC was tracking Invest 93S, so I went to the RSMC La Réunion website to check if they'd started tracking the system, and they have. It's classified as a tropical disturbance currently, located just west of the Australian region. Could you please start the track map for this one too?

I am just going to leave your edit as it is since I am with you here. But the problem with BoM in their outlooks, as for example with 08U, they would designate the system before being formed with the quote, "a tropical low [08U] is developing..." before today, which means it still has not formed. It was only since their outlook of 17/1 when they mentioned that 08U have fully developed, hence why editors tend to think that 08U's formation date was on the 17th.

The Reply tool is available at most other Wikipedias.
Research notes:
The new tool for starting new discussions (new sections) will join the Discussion tools in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures at the end of January. You can try the tool for yourself. [5] You can leave feedback in this thread or on the talk page.
During Talk pages consultation 2019, editors said that it should be easier to know about new activity in conversations they are interested in. The Notifications project is just beginning. What would help you become aware of new comments? What's working with the current system? Which pages at your wiki should the team look at? Please post your advice at mw:Talk:Talk pages project/Notifications.

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Typhoon Tembin (2012) into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. This is only one of many unattributed splitoffs. It's from 2012. I really hope you're not still doing this, but have a reminder anyways.

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

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 03:10, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

You are making typos in a live template used in hundreds of articles, at {{ Pacific areas affected (Top)}}, causing those articles to display broken rendering to readers. This behavior is disruptive. Please use {{ Pacific areas affected (Top)/sandbox}} to testing, and when it is ready, copy the contents to the live template. Also, use edit summaries when editing templates.

Thanks for uploading File:Plurk logo 2018-en.svg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{
Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
