WikiProject Severe weather was founded back on May 7, 2007, during an active time of severe weather in the United States (see May 2007 tornado outbreak). The project's core article is Severe weather. Early members included User:Runningonbrains, User:CrazyC83, User:WxGopher, and User:Evolauxia. The WikiProject had a period of high activity until 2009, when an unusually slow severe weather season most likely contributed to a decline in activity. Despite the low levels of activity, I managed to find a couple of editors for this interview.
1. First, tell us a bit about yourself and your involvement in WikiProject Severe Weather.
2. When did you first join WikiProject Severe Weather? What are some of the challenges that the project has met since you joined, and how were they dealt with?
3. What aspects of the project do you consider to be particularly successful? Has the project developed any unusual innovations, or uniquely adopted any common approaches?
4. Have any major initiatives by the project ended unsuccessfully? What lessons have you learned from them?
5. What experiences have you had with the WikiProjects whose scopes overlap with yours, in particular the Tropical Cyclone, Meteorology, and Non-Tropical Storms WikiProjects? Has your project developed particularly close relationships with any other WikiProjects?
6. What is WikiProject Severe Weather's plan of attack for this year's northern hemisphere severe weather season?
7. What is your vision for the project? How do you see the project itself, as well as the articles within its scope, developing over the coming seasons?
8. In connection with the question above, several of the editors on the WikiProject's member list seem to have gone inactive, and only four editors have signed themselves as active in the project since the beginning of 2009. Is the WikiProject running low on active members, and if so, is there anything you envision that could be done to help capture more active contributors?
You'll want to grab a cup of coffee for next week's report. Until then, feel free to sit back, relax, and catch up on the previous editions of WikiProject Report in the archive.
