Hi. Sorry about that, I had an edit conflict and inadvertantly reverted your edit while adding mine. I don't mind restoring the section, although I'll have to fix the broken templates and collateral damage errors. I'll put it up again, unless someone reverts it again.

Thanks for uploading File:Is Igor a Category 5....jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 02:01, 27 September 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk 02:01, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
I hope you weren't serious here... because that is the public sandbox and anyone can edit over your tests. If you want a more permanent spot, make a user sandbox, like here. / ƒETCH COMMS / 02:56, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Hurricane Igor.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 18:06, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello there, Wxtrackercody! I'm Netalarm and I have been around for quite some time now. I'm messaging you because I've noticed that you've indicated that you want to be adopted on your user page. To get started, you can also find an adopter yourself. A complete list of adopters list available here. When choosing an adopter, please check their availability. You may also want to find an adopter that has similar interests, although it is not required you do so. Once you have found an adopter, you can message them on their talk page and ask to be adopted. If you have any questions about this process, feel free to message me on my talk page.
Once again, welcome to Wikipedia! Netalarm talk 04:41, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
good morning! I've just noticed you updating the storm's strength and category. however, it is very prohibited to do it. If you want to put the current information about Typhoon Megi (2010), please put it in meteorological history. And please don't change the image of Megi. Thanks! have a great day! Shalom! :) Jpuligan_12 ( talk) October 18, 2010 (2243 UTC)
I know, my mistake. I thought it was an current infobox, so I was inputing the current stats in. I realize now that in the WPAC section, you guys do not do that. I update the ATL part, which uses the boxes, so...yeah. 70.248.122.46 ( talk) 22:51, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi Cody, I notice on your User Page that you're listed as seeking editor adoption. I have just joined the program as an adopter - although not exactly an expert as I've only been around here a few months longer than you have! - so here is an offer to wiki-adopt you.
I am online almost constantly (I sometimes take a few hours out to sleep, but not often...) so I should be able to help out with any issues or questions fairly quickly. I don't know much about your chosen topic area - I live in England and weather here is really very tame and boring, in fact most of our weather is the remnants of former Atlantic hurricanes and storms when they have lost all their force and excitement - but hopefully that shouldn't be an obstacle.
There's some more information about me in a rather eclectic series of userboxes on my user page.
Anyway let me know what you think - if you agree, then we need to remove the adoptme template from your user page (although the program also allows you to have more than one adopter if you wish.)
-- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 22:24, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Cody. I just wanted to check, is that Sandbox one you want to keep for further editing tests? If so, I will probably vote Keep in this deletion discussion. If you don't need to keep it for further editing tests, you could probably arrange to get it removed, which would save going through the whole MfD process. Anyway let me know what you think. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 08:52, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi, TAwx13. Please don't remove the MFD tag, which you have now done twice, from your sandbox. Doing so does not make the deletion discussion go away, and repeatedly doing so can get you blocked. The notice will be removed if the page is kept. Str Pby ( talk) 23:17, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
As you have now sufficiently addressed all concerns regarding the page, I have moved to withdraw the deletion nomination. Please understand that you have not "won"; this does not give you the right to again edit the page in such a way that it fails Wikipedia's guidelines on acceptable use of user pages. If you do do so, there is nothing stopping a new deletion nomination from being started, and in all honestly if you did do so it might be seen as being disruptive. So, go and use it for test edits, but don't make any "fake" stuff about it — that goes on Wikia or some other forum. Best, Strange Passerby ( talk • contribs) 08:13, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi again :) I realise your sandboxes were created because an admin actually suggested that you create them, so I hope you're not annoyed that now people are discussing deleting them and arguing about what goes in them. But there are a few things that need to be done differently. There are mostly good reasons for this even though it may seem like making a big deal out of nothing.
First of all, the issue of having templates on userspace talk pages that put those pages in categories shared with real articles.
Let's imagine someone who doesn't know anything about Wikipedia - say a reporter for a major TV station - wants to find some information about a major hurricane.
This can give a very bad impression of Wikipedia - and this particular reporter might then go and repeat their views about it to his colleagues, and the effect snowballs.
This is why we don't do anything that puts pages from user space (including user talk pages) into Categories that are only intended for things that actually are articles.
Unfortunately the template "hurricane" adds the pages it's on to a Category that is for actual articles. So that template must not be used on pages in userspace.
Do you understand why this is?
Secondly, is it OK if I remove that template from the pages in your userspace that it's on?
-- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 04:31, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Sure... TropicalAnalystwx13 17:12, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on List of Category 3 Atlantic hurricanes, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, file description page, file talk page, MediaWiki page, MediaWiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.
If you can fix the redirect to point to a
mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, you can request that
administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{
hangon}}
to the page and state your reasoning on the article's
talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Does this work? If the article becomes a Keep, can I keep the article?
If it becomes a delete I can change it to something that actually needs to be made (like the real 2011 Atlantic hurricane season page). Fair? TropicalAnalystwx13 01:40, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Let's imagine someone who doesn't know anything about Wikipedia - say a reporter for a major TV station - wants to find some information about a major hurricane.
This can give a very bad impression of Wikipedia - and this particular reporter might then go and repeat their views about it to his colleagues, and the effect snowballs.
This is why we don't do anything that puts pages from user space (including user talk pages) into Categories that are only intended for things that actually are articles.
Unfortunately the template "hurricane" adds the pages it's on to a Category that is for actual articles. So that template must not be used on pages in userspace.
Do you understand why this is?
Secondly, is it OK if I remove that template from the pages in your userspace that it's on?

A tag has been placed on List of Category 3 Atlantic hurricanes, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, file description page, file talk page, MediaWiki page, MediaWiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.
If you can fix the redirect to point to a
mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, you can request that
administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{
hangon}}
to the page and state your reasoning on the article's
talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Cody, please can you explain what you are actually doing with your main Sandbox?
Is it:
Thanks -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 00:28, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
I'm using it to test my editing skills. TropicalAnalystwx13 ( talk)
Does this work? If the article becomes a Keep, can I keep the article?
If it becomes a delete I can change it to something that actually needs to be made (like the real 2011 Atlantic hurricane season page). Fair? TropicalAnalystwx13 01:40, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
Cody, deletion discussions are not votes. There is absolutely no need, or point, in counting up how many people "voted" each way. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 04:15, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
You guys are out to get me, I know you are...It's a number for god sakes! It's not a big deal. I'm not mad at you or anything but it seems like every single thing I do you guys (Not necessarily you) have to correct :| TropicalAnalystwx13 04:29, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
