Heya! I noticed we have somewhat similar editing styles. We could put that to use and collaborate on a project, e.g. working on making a specific hurricane season a good topic. Let me know what you think; if you have any ideas on what we could work on, that'd be great too. Anything would be appreciated! Auree ★ 13:37, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

On 8 October 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Tropical Storm Greta (1970), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Tropical Storm Greta was described as a "bomb that did not explode"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tropical Storm Greta (1970).You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

The DYK project ( nominate) 12:23, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
This is a repost from the project page, where I have mentioned it a few times over the years:
NHC added the non-developmental database into their ATCF system in February, which means that the old tracks which were transcribed from graph paper to digital format 3-4 years ago are now part of the official database. A woohoo and a d'oh are both in order because of this addition. However, other than some formatting issues during the digitization, a formal reanalysis has not been completed for these systems, as far as far as I can tell. Nor do I remember seeing formal TD designations in that file, which now means that there are two ways to number TDs from 1981-1987 (real-time and ATCF renumbering), three different ways to number depressions between 1972 and 1987 (real-time numbering, after-the-fact numbering the following year, and ATCF numbering which are all different), and four ways to number them between 1967 and 1971 (real-time numbering which covers both the Atlantic and EPac, Atlantic-only numbering, after-the-fact numbering the following year, and ATCF numbering). The big omission (whether on purpose or by accident) was TD 9 of 1977, which impacted NC. This also means that the mainly extratropical Late November 1984 nor'easter is there as tropical for its whole track. Oy. Thegreatdr (talk) 20:51, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

It probably wouldn't appear in Google news then. Although, you should try looking for just Nicaragua in that time period.

The 2011 WikiCup is now over, and our new champion is Hurricanehink ( submissions), who joins the exclusive club of the previous winners: Dreamafter (2007), jj137 (2008), Durova (2009) and Sturmvogel_66 (2010). The final standings were as follows:
Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.
No prize was awarded for featured pictures, sounds or portals, as none were claimed throughout the competition. The awards will be handed out over the next few days. Congratulations to all our participants, and especially our winners; we've all had fun, and Wikipedia has benefitted massively from our content work.
Preparation for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Interested parties are invited to sign up and participate in our straw polls. It's been a pleasure to work with you all this year, and, whoever's taking part in and running the competition in 2012, we hope to see you all in January!

You contributed to a recent discussion about an editor who was creating many stubs. The conclusion was that this was just a case of a prolific editor, with no violation of policy.

Hey, guys and girls! You're receiving this because you signed up (or manually requested) the Article Feedback Tool Version 5 Newsletter. This is for people who care about making the AFT a better feature, but don't necessarily want to have to participate in every discussion. Instead, I'll be sending a newsletter around twice a month talking about what's been decided and what's still up for discussion - that way, if you're interested in specific features or ideas, you'll know when to jump in :). If you know anyone who fits into this category (or you're a talkpage watcher who does) please sign up here to receive more updates in the future.
First off, editors have already been picking at the basic design, and I've forwarded their suggestions to the devs. Those ideas which are worthy of further investigation (or being programmed into the software) are listed in the status box at the top of the talkpage. Community suggestions that the devs like include:
So already there's been some great ideas - I was in a meeting yesterday in which they confirmed that the developers are actively looking at how to include Utar's suggestion pretty quickly. There are still a lot of open issues, however; most pressing this week is what level of access IPs should have to submitted comments? The Foundation's plan calls for IP addresses to be only allowed to read the comments, but not to vote on or comment on their priority - this is intended to reduce gaming - but editors may have different opinions. If you like this level of access, want something more open, or want something more closed, please drop a note here.
Hope to see you all on the talkpage soon, with any developments, ideas or suggestions you may have. All the best, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 19:22, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

You suggest that an Occupy protest is notable "if there is any moderate a considerable number of arrests (shooting, rock-throwing, etc.) violence in the protest" / "has a considerable number of arrests". It is sad how a more or less 'peaceful' protest will only be noticed/get coverage if it is violent. - Benzband ( talk) 18:33, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
I strongly contest your accusation of personal attack. If you take a look at Future Perfect's userpage, he has the exact same infobox on his own userpage before I started hosting that infobox on my userpage, which I perceived to be a personal attack against me. I politely asked me to remove it, but he declined to do so. Please refrain from double standard.-- NWA.Rep ( talk) 22:18, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Please see my comments here as they also apply to your guide. Thanks, Roger Davies talk 21:20, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
A minor point in relation to your guide: you refer to Risker as "he", but I believe she's previously identified herself as female. I'm not sure if anyone else other than Panyd is female, but it might be worth checking. Nikkimaria ( talk) 02:11, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Hurricanefan25,
Just giving you a heads-up about the latest update on our template testing. Please peruse when you have a minute. Thanks! Maryana (WMF) ( talk) 05:18, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi Hurricanefan25. Just wondering if there was a reason you dropped the voter guide? Voting doesn't end until 10th December and there are many users who are unfamiliar with canidates who do read the voting guides and make their judgements based on that. How do I know? I did a couple of years ago! WormTT · ( talk) 11:37, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Hey, all! A quick update on how version 5 of the Article Feedback Tool is developing. I'm sending this to both newsletter recipients and regular participants, because I appreciate we've been a bit quiet :).
So, we're just wrapping up the first round of user contributions. A big thank you to everyone who has contributed ideas (a full list of which can be found at the top of the page); thanks almost entirely to contributions by editors, the tool looks totally different to how it did two months ago when we were starting out. Big ideas that have made it in include a comment voting system, courtesy of User:Bensin, an idea for a more available way of deploying the feedback box, suggested by User:Utar, and the eventual integration of both oversight and the existing spam filtering tools into the new version, courtesy of..well, everyone, really :).
For now, the devs are building the first prototypes, and all the features specifications have been finalised. That doesn't mean you can't help out, however; we'll have a big pile of shiny prototypes to play around with quite soon. If you're interested in testing those, we'll be unveiling it all at this week's office hours session, which will be held on Friday 2 December at 19:00 UTC. If you can't make it, just sign up here. After that, we have a glorious round of testing to undertake; we'll be finding out what form works the best, what wording works the best, and pretty much everything else under the sun. As part of that, we need editors - people who know just what to look for - to review some sample reader comments, and make calls on which ones are useful, which ones are spam, so on and so forth. If that's something you'd be interested in doing, drop an email to okeyes@wikimedia.org.
Thanks to everyone for their contributions so far. We're making good headway, and moving forward pretty quickly :). Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 16:39, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi there! I thought you might be interested in WikiProject Wikify's
December Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive. We'll be trying to reduce the backlog size by over 1,000 articles and we need your help! Hard-working participants in the drive will receive
awards for their contributions, including a brand new one for the single largest wikified article! All you have to do is put an asterisk next to the largest article you've wikified, and coordinators will check its wordcount after the drive ends. If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks! Note: The drive starts December 1, and you can

Hi there, I had a look at your two reviews, and they look pretty good to me. You seem to be paying close attention to prose, which is good. I don't know anything about hurricanes and wouldn't have picked those to review, so I can only comment in a general way.

Hi there; I notice that you have nominated several IP talk-pages for speedy deletion as non-controversial maintenance clean-up.

Hey there HF25, I wanted to talk about this non-admin closure. Non-admin closures are supposed to be clearly in favor of the keep !voters, so do you really think that this was a clear keep?

Hello, in response to your copy-edit request, I'm wondering why you don't request somebody else like Hurricanehink or Malleus Fatuorum. They are much better editors than myself, although I am reading a book copy-editing at the moment and still learning the intricate art of writing.
I strongly recommend you ask someone else because that would perhaps present the best chance for the article's GA/FA plans, if there are any. I can only make a crap article readable, not a good article outstanding, so I beg you have that in mind. Thanks, and take care -- Sp33dyphil © hat ontributions 22:20, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to the 2012 WikiCup! The competition officially begins at the start of 2012 (UTC) after which time you may begin to claim points. Your submission page, where you must note any content for which you wish to claim points, can be found here, and formatting instructions can be found in hidden comments on the page. A bot will then update the main table, which can be seen on the WikiCup page. The full rules for what will and will not be awarded points can be found at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. There's also a section on that page listing the changes that have been made to the rules this year, so that experienced participants can get up-to-date in a few seconds. One point of which we must remind everyone; you may only claim points for content upon which you have done significant work, and which you have nominated, in 2012. For instance, articles written or good article reviews started in 2011 are not eligible for points.
This round will last until late February, and signups will remain open until the middle of February. If you know of anyone who may like to take part, please let them know about the comeptition; the more the merrier! At the end of this round, the top 64 scorers will progress to the next round, where their scores will reset, and they will be split into pools. Note that, by default, you have been added to our newsletter list; we will be in contact at the end of every month with news. You're welcome to remove yourself from this list if you do not wish to hear from us. Conversely, those interested in following the competition are more than welcome to add themselves to the list.

This is a repost from the project page, where I have mentioned it a few times over the years:
NHC added the non-developmental database into their ATCF system in February, which means that the old tracks which were transcribed from graph paper to digital format 3-4 years ago are now part of the official database. A woohoo and a d'oh are both in order because of this addition. However, other than some formatting issues during the digitization, a formal reanalysis has not been completed for these systems, as far as far as I can tell. Nor do I remember seeing formal TD designations in that file, which now means that there are two ways to number TDs from 1981-1987 (real-time and ATCF renumbering), three different ways to number depressions between 1972 and 1987 (real-time numbering, after-the-fact numbering the following year, and ATCF numbering which are all different), and four ways to number them between 1967 and 1971 (real-time numbering which covers both the Atlantic and EPac, Atlantic-only numbering, after-the-fact numbering the following year, and ATCF numbering). The big omission (whether on purpose or by accident) was TD 9 of 1977, which impacted NC. This also means that the mainly extratropical Late November 1984 nor'easter is there as tropical for its whole track. Oy. Thegreatdr (talk) 20:51, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

It probably wouldn't appear in Google news then. Although, you should try looking for just Nicaragua in that time period.

The 2011 WikiCup is now over, and our new champion is Hurricanehink ( submissions), who joins the exclusive club of the previous winners: Dreamafter (2007), jj137 (2008), Durova (2009) and Sturmvogel_66 (2010). The final standings were as follows:
Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.
No prize was awarded for featured pictures, sounds or portals, as none were claimed throughout the competition. The awards will be handed out over the next few days. Congratulations to all our participants, and especially our winners; we've all had fun, and Wikipedia has benefitted massively from our content work.
Preparation for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Interested parties are invited to sign up and participate in our straw polls. It's been a pleasure to work with you all this year, and, whoever's taking part in and running the competition in 2012, we hope to see you all in January!

Hey, guys and girls! You're receiving this because you signed up (or manually requested) the Article Feedback Tool Version 5 Newsletter. This is for people who care about making the AFT a better feature, but don't necessarily want to have to participate in every discussion. Instead, I'll be sending a newsletter around twice a month talking about what's been decided and what's still up for discussion - that way, if you're interested in specific features or ideas, you'll know when to jump in :). If you know anyone who fits into this category (or you're a talkpage watcher who does) please sign up here to receive more updates in the future.
First off, editors have already been picking at the basic design, and I've forwarded their suggestions to the devs. Those ideas which are worthy of further investigation (or being programmed into the software) are listed in the status box at the top of the talkpage. Community suggestions that the devs like include:
So already there's been some great ideas - I was in a meeting yesterday in which they confirmed that the developers are actively looking at how to include Utar's suggestion pretty quickly. There are still a lot of open issues, however; most pressing this week is what level of access IPs should have to submitted comments? The Foundation's plan calls for IP addresses to be only allowed to read the comments, but not to vote on or comment on their priority - this is intended to reduce gaming - but editors may have different opinions. If you like this level of access, want something more open, or want something more closed, please drop a note here.
Hope to see you all on the talkpage soon, with any developments, ideas or suggestions you may have. All the best, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 19:22, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Hurricane, about User:Hurricanefan25/Occupy. You suggest that an Occupy protest is notable "if there is any moderate a considerable number of arrests (shooting, rock-throwing, etc.) violence in the protest" / "has a considerable number of arrests".

Hey, all! A quick update on how version 5 of the Article Feedback Tool is developing. I'm sending this to both newsletter recipients and regular participants, because I appreciate we've been a bit quiet :).
So, we're just wrapping up the first round of user contributions. A big thank you to everyone who has contributed ideas (a full list of which can be found at the top of the page); thanks almost entirely to contributions by editors, the tool looks totally different to how it did two months ago when we were starting out. Big ideas that have made it in include a comment voting system, courtesy of User:Bensin, an idea for a more available way of deploying the feedback box, suggested by User:Utar, and the eventual integration of both oversight and the existing spam filtering tools into the new version, courtesy of..well, everyone, really :).
For now, the devs are building the first prototypes, and all the features specifications have been finalised. That doesn't mean you can't help out, however; we'll have a big pile of shiny prototypes to play around with quite soon. If you're interested in testing those, we'll be unveiling it all at this week's office hours session, which will be held on Friday 2 December at 19:00 UTC. If you can't make it, just sign up here. After that, we have a glorious round of testing to undertake; we'll be finding out what form works the best, what wording works the best, and pretty much everything else under the sun. As part of that, we need editors - people who know just what to look for - to review some sample reader comments, and make calls on which ones are useful, which ones are spam, so on and so forth. If that's something you'd be interested in doing, drop an email to okeyes@wikimedia.org.
Thanks to everyone for their contributions so far. We're making good headway, and moving forward pretty quickly :). Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 16:39, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi there! I thought you might be interested in WikiProject Wikify's
December Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive. We'll be trying to reduce the backlog size by over 1,000 articles and we need your help! Hard-working participants in the drive will receive
awards for their contributions, including a brand new one for the single largest wikified article! All you have to do is put an asterisk next to the largest article you've wikified, and coordinators will check its wordcount after the drive ends. If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks! Note: The drive starts December 1, and you can
sign up today! |

Hi there, I had a look at your two reviews, and they look pretty good to me. You seem to be paying close attention to prose, which is good. I don't know anything about hurricanes and wouldn't have picked those to review, so I can only comment in a general way.
It looks like you're doing a good job though, so carry on! If you run into problems, don't be afraid to drop a note to WT:GAN asking for a second opinion. -- Beloved Freak 22:41, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi there; I notice that you have nominated several IP talk-pages for speedy deletion as non-controversial maintenance clean-up. I will agree that a message to an IP editor can be a waste of time, at least in the case of dynamic IPs, but tagging the un-answered messges for deletion is not appropriate. -- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 15:26, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your support at my recent successful RFA. Being now the new fellow in the fraternity of administrators, I will do my best to live up to the confidence shown in me by others, will move slowly and carefully when using the mop, will seek input from others before any action of which I might be unsure, and will try not to break anything beyond repair.

I recently added that page to my (much smaller than most other users, from what I understand) watchlist, and as such I'd like to add the {{ maintained}} template to the talk page. Since you and Hurricanehink have made almost as many edits, I feel it's only fair for you to be included on that template as well. Would that be OK with you? Daniel Case ( talk) 15:40, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
Hey there HF25, I wanted to talk about this non-admin closure. Non-admin closures are supposed to be clearly in favor of the keep !voters, so do you really think that this was a clear keep? I'd like to see your thoughts on this, before/in case I take it to DR. I really don't believe it should have been closed just yet, since we had only four editors comment, three deletes, two of which didn't really say anything policy-wise.

On 9 December 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article List of Category 4 Pacific hurricanes, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that 94 known Category 4 hurricanes have occurred in the Pacific Ocean since 1900? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/List of Category 4 Pacific hurricanes.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

[2] strikes me as ambiguous, as I can't tell whether you oppose any block, or the indefinite nature of the proposal. Because there's so much confusing verbiage, I'm suggesting it would be helpful to clarify the phrasing. I'm not disagreeing with your opinion at all, just saying it would help reach consensus if we understood it better. Gerardw ( talk) 14:53, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey Hurricanefan25/Archive 3; another Article Feedback Tool office hours session! This is going to be immediately after we start trialing the software publicly, so it's a pretty important one. If any of you want to attend, it will be held in #wikimedia-office on Friday 16th December at 19:00 UTC. As always, if you can't attend, drop me a line and I'm happy to link you to the logs when we're done. Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 22:31, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Hurricane Cesar–Douglas was only renamed because of NHC policy at the time. These days it would just be Cesar, so on the C4 PH list you can not use it as an example of being renamed because it weakened into an RL. Jason Rees ( talk) 02:49, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi Hurricanefan25,
We're currently busy designing some new tests, and we need your feedback/input!
We also have a proposal to test new "accepted," "declined," and "on-hold" templates at Articles for Creation (drafts here). The discussion isn't closed yet, so please weigh in if you're interested.
Thanks for your help! Maryana (WMF) ( talk) 01:32, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
Hello, in response to your copy-edit request, I'm wondering why you don't request somebody else like Hurricanehink or Malleus Fatuorum. They are much better editors than myself, although I am reading a book copy-editing at the moment and still learning the intricate art of writing.
I strongly recommend you ask someone else because that would perhaps present the best chance for the article's GA/FA plans, if there are any. I can only make a crap article readable, not a good article outstanding, so I beg you have that in mind. Thanks, and take care -- Sp33dyphil © hat ontributions 22:20, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I'm a novice user on Wikipedia. This may just be a stupid question, but I was just wondering why your user page has a large Red "X" image superimposed on it, linking to SOPA#Opposition? Is this some form of vandalism?

Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information in the consent information sheet.
We have added information about the readership and quality of the suggested articles using a Low/Medium/High scale. For readership the scale goes from Low to High , while for quality the scale goes from Low to High .
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

Hello, and welcome to the 2012 WikiCup! The competition officially begins at the start of 2012 (UTC) after which time you may begin to claim points. Your submission page, where you must note any content for which you wish to claim points, can be found here, and formatting instructions can be found in hidden comments on the page. A bot will then update the main table, which can be seen on the WikiCup page. The full rules for what will and will not be awarded points can be found at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. There's also a section on that page listing the changes that have been made to the rules this year, so that experienced participants can get up-to-date in a few seconds. One point of which we must remind everyone; you may only claim points for content upon which you have done significant work, and which you have nominated, in 2012. For instance, articles written or good article reviews started in 2011 are not eligible for points.
This round will last until late February, and signups will remain open until the middle of February. If you know of anyone who may like to take part, please let them know about the comeptition; the more the merrier! At the end of this round, the top 64 scorers will progress to the next round, where their scores will reset, and they will be split into pools. Note that, by default, you have been added to our newsletter list; we will be in contact at the end of every month with news. You're welcome to remove yourself from this list if you do not wish to hear from us. Conversely, those interested in following the competition are more than welcome to add themselves to the list. Please direct any questions towards the judges, or on the WikiCup talk page. Good luck! J Milburn ( talk) and The ed17 ( talk) 17:54, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

( edit conflict) I'm sorry, this was caused by a mistake on my part. Fixing the mistake or creating redirects would have also served to solve the problem, but there's no problem that HurricaneFan did it this way- I have just asked the bot to do it again for me, this time with the correct message. Thanks everyone, hopefully we can go without a hitch now! J Milburn ( talk) 18:33, 31 December 2011 (UTC) Agreed, but I suggest to Jezhotwells to take back his comment.
