Relisting

May I ask you to back off from relisting discussions at RfD? You continue to relist several discussions that don't need to be relisted. I am also afraid you aren't conducting the proper due diligence by reading the discussions ahead of time to determine whether or not there is a consensus, given you relisted eight(!) discussions on 2019 May 13 within the span of a minute. Courtesy ping to Xezbeth, who has also expressed concern about your relisting today. -- Tavix (talk) 13:32, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Savannah

@B dash: Hi there. I just wanted to say thank you for all the excellent news articles you have managed to find for damages related to the Cyclone Savannah disaster in Indonesia! I think it's marvellous that you've been able to unearth this many sources. I have no idea how you did it—I couldn't find any when I did some Google searching last week. I have extended the damages section in the Savannah article, incorporating information from the references you found. Something I should clarify is that the fatality total for Savannah is actually 10, not 12. The article regarding the two deaths in Madiun actually states that the deaths were unrelated to the flooding event, and were simply due to illness (according to the police chief, I believe). I have mentioned this fact in the article (the sentence talking about not being able to be buried because of the flooded cemetery). Once again, thanks for all your work here. If you find any other sources with damage numbers, be sure to let me know so I can write it up! ChocolateTrain (talk) 13:48, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you!

  The Citation Barnstar
You are most deserving of this! Thank you for your work providing so many references for damage totals and flooding impacts relating to the Cyclone Savannah disaster in Indonesia. Great effort! ChocolateTrain (talk) 14:02, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Article of the month, by Jason Rees


History of tropical cyclone naming - The practice of using names to identify tropical cyclones goes back several centuries, with storms named after places, saints or things they hit before the formal start of naming in each basin. The credit for the first usage of personal names for weather systems is given to the Queensland Government Meteorologist Clement Wragge, who named tropical cyclones and anticyclones between 1887 and 1907. This system of naming fell into disuse for several years after Wragge retired, until it was revived in the latter part of World War II for the Western Pacific basin. Over the following decades, various naming schemes have been introduced for the world's oceans, including for parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The majority of these lists are compiled by the World Meteorological Organization's tropical cyclone committee for the region and include names from different cultures as well as languages. Over the years there has been controversy over the names used at various times, with names being dropped for religious and political reasons. For example, female names were exclusively used in the basins at various times between 1945 - 2000 and were the subject of several protests. The names of significant tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Australian region are retired from the naming lists and replaced with another name, at meetings of the various tropical cyclone committees.


Storm of the month and other tropical activity


 

Cyclone Fani was an extremely severe cyclonic storm that made landfall in Odisha, India on May 3. The storm achieved peak intensity as a near Category 5-equivalent cyclone with 3-minute sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 250 km/h (155 mph), and a minimum central pressure of 937 hPa (mbar). Fani caused over $1.8 billion (2019 USD) in damage in India and Bangladesh and killed at least 89 people.

Since the last newsletter, twelve systems have formed.

  • Southwest Indian Ocean
    In the Southwest Indian Ocean, Cyclone Kenneth made landfall in Mozambique approximately 1 month after Cyclone Idai, causing widespread flooding and destruction. Overall, Kenneth killed at least 52 people and caused more than $100 million in damage. Additionally, Tropical Cyclone Lorna formed over the eastern portion of the basin in late April and dissipated in early May without affecting land.
  • Australian Region
    In the Australian Region, cyclones Lili and Ann formed in early May and both affected land. No deaths were reported, although Lili caused moderate damage in the Maluku Islands and East Timor.
  • South Pacific
    In the South Pacific, a tropical depression formed in mid-may, but failed to intensify and dissipated a few days later.
  • South Atlantic
    In the South Atlantic, Subtropical Storm Jaguar formed in late May and lasted for approximately two days before becoming extratropical.
  • Western Pacific
    In the Western Pacific, three weak tropical depressions existed during the first half of May.
  • North Atlantic
    In the North Atlantic, Subtropical Storm Andrea formed on the same day as Jaguar, but failed to intensify and dissipated on the next day.




  • The Eastern Pacific hurricane season began on May 15.
  • The Atlantic hurricane season will begin at 2:00 AM EDT on June 1.
  • The Central Pacific hurricane season will begin sometime after 12:00 AM HST on June 1.

New WikiProject Members since the last newsletter in April 2019


More information can be found here. This list lists members who have joined/rejoined the WikiProject since the release of the last issue in April 2019. Sorted chronologically. Struckout users denote users who have left or have been banned.

To our new members: welcome to the project, and happy editing! Feel free to check the to-do list at the bottom right of the newsletter for things that you might want to work on. To our veteran members: thank you for your edits and your tireless contributions!

Editorial for welcoming new users, by Hurricanehink


Every year, editors new and old help maintain the new season of season articles. The older users are likely used to the standards of the project, such as how to Wikilink and reference properly. Newer users might make mistakes, and they might make them over and over again if they don't know better. If anyone (who happens to read this) comes across a new user, please don't bite, because with enough pushback, they'll decide that this group of editors is too mean, and unfun. This is all a volunteer project; no one can force anyone to do anything. We're all on here because of our love of knowledge and tropical cyclones. If you find someone new, consider using the official WPTC welcome template - Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Welcome.

I also encourage that if you know any tropical cyclone researchers, please speak up and try recruiting them to edit. Veteran editors can't keep editing forever. Life gets busy, and the real world beckons!

Member of the month (edition) – Yellow Evan


 

Yellow Evan has been involved with WPTC since 2008. Since the last newsletter, Yellow Evan has taken 5 typhoon articles to good article status as well as created 2 more. Overall, he has created and/or significantly contributed to more than 130 good articles. Your work in the Western Pacific Basin is invaluable... Thank you for your contributions!

  Featured Content

This section lists content that have become featured, articles and lists, since the past newsletter in mid-April 2019.
From April 14–May 31, 2019, 1 featured article was promoted:

WikiProject Tropical Cyclones: News & Developments

  • An awards program for the project began on May 31. It involves 25 levels that may be gained by earning points for completing various actions such as getting good or featured articles. Additional awards will be added in the future.
  • As of this news letter, there are more articles ranked a good article or better (1317) than articles ranked B-class or worse (1272), for the first time in the project's history.
  • Every Atlantic hurricane season from 1945 to 2007 is rated at least a GA. That is an impressive feat, and an incredibly body of work among many editors.
  • Cyclone Raja became the 150th featured article in the project. Thanks to all of the editors and their tireless edits for writing 2.7% of all of Wikipedia's featured articles.
  • In the 24 hours after Hurricane Michael's TCR was released, the article on the hurricane was edited 82 times by 18 different users.
  • In March 2019, the most popular article in the project was Cyclone Idai, viewed 231,969 times during the month. The generic cyclone was 2nd most popular, with 131,080 views. In 3rd place was Hurricane Katrina with 112,283 views. Included in the top 20 were the 2018 and 19 Atlantic hurricane seasons, hurricanes Michael, Florence, Irma, Maria, and Harvey, and the 1896 Cedar Keys hurricane, which was TFA on March 20th.

New articles since the last newsletter include:

Current assessment table


Assessments valid as of this printing. Depending on when you may be viewing this newsletter, the table may be outdated. See here for the latest, most up to date statistics.
As of this issue, there are 150 featured articles and 69 featured lists. There are 142 A-class articles, but that number is subject to change, depending if we mandate that all A-class articles have an A-class review first. There are 956 good articles, meaning it is possible we get to our 1000th GA by the end of the year. There are only 61 B-class articles, perhaps because because most articles of that quality already passed a GA review. There are 350 C-class articles, 720 start-class articles, and 141 stub-class articles, with 29 lists and 8 current articles. The number of lists may decrease further as the "Tropical cyclone X" articles continue to be reclassified as set index articles. These figures mean that nearly half of the project is rated a GA or better - including the lists/current/future articles, there are 1272 articles that are below GA status, versus 1317 that are GA or better.

Replaced Photos

B dash, we both tend to work with a lot of US Federal Government photo sources from Flickr, so I see our work overlapping a lot, which is fine and totally par for the course. I notice however, that recently you seem to be replacing a few of the photos I've uploaded with similar versions that you uploaded. Most recently, I saw you replaced the TIP heroes group photo shot with a very similar one that also shows Ivanka Trump, which to me is entirely beside the point in illustrating the article. Many changes, like this one, are done without an edit summary, so it's not clear to me what advantage you see in adding a Trump to the photo or the like. I'm fine with having my photos replaced with better ones, but I have trouble seeing the logic in some recent swaps. If there is some reason you are replacing these, please let me know. If there is not some general reason, I'd request that you use edit summaries to indicate that you replaced a photo, and why the new photos are superior. MarginalCost (talk) 22:00, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Ways to improve Wooferendum

Hello, B dash,

Thanks for creating Wooferendum! I edit here too, under the username Newslinger and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-

Thanks for creating this article! Please note that Metro is considered generally unreliable, and it should ideally be replaced with a more reliable source.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Newslinger}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

July 2019 lunar eclipse

[1]: no, the time of photo from Moscow (00:10:53 local time (UTC+3) or 21:10:53) is correct. Because I made the photo, and it wasn't 00:23 (21:23 UTC), when I did it. =) Also you can visit https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/russia/moscow and see than the forms of Moon, visible from Moscow, at 21:11 and 21:23 are different. --Brateevsky (talk to me) 08:31, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Nomination of Megan Abrigo for deletion

 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Megan Abrigo 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/Megan Abrigo until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, 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. Slashme (talk) 14:21, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

TD Jenny

Please look at reliable sources such as PAGASA before reverting other users, as TD Jenny is already named. If you continue to do this, I will report you for vandalism. Thanks. Typhoon2013 (talk) 09:24, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

@Typhoon2013: PAGASA just named the TD as Jenny at 09:00 UTC, I don't think my previous revert was wrong. --A1Cafel (talk) 09:25, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
Perhaps. However PAGASA updates their Twitter updates first and was published minutes before 09:00 UTC. Please do not do this again, and moreover, I have mentioned this in my edit summary. But still, you should not revert other people's edits with no valid explanation. Typhoon2013 (talk) 09:42, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

~changing article talk page discussions ~ Talk:Hurricane Dorian

~ what is your problem ~ you can't change what I write or what I put into a article's talk page discussion. Do you really think you have the authority to do that ~ if you do not like the picture I used ~ since there is a already a discussion on the articles talk page, you should use proper protocol with the talk page ~ what you did deleting my conversation. is very poor editing. I reverted your edits on Hurricane Dorian's article and your deletion of my edit on the talk page ~ do not revert with out discussing or I will report you to the administrators ~ Regards ~mitch~ (talk) 14:19, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Reverting to a redirect is disruptive

Please note that reverting Humberto to a redirect is disruptive considering 2 others already did so and it was reverted both times. NoahTalk 16:29, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

"S4Y" listed at Redirects for discussion

 

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect S4Y. Since you had some involvement with the S4Y redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. signed, Rosguill talk 21:14, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Blocked

I have indefinitely blocked you for violating one of your unblock conditions: "You must not edit at all except from this account." You have been persistently and abusively editing while logged out.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:56, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

@Bbb23: What should I do now? --A1Cafel (talk) 02:28, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
A1Cafel, Were you editing logged out / using other accounts as mentioned above? SQLQuery me! 02:40, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
SQL: I didn't use any IPs and other accounts for editing. I don't know perhaps the accidential logged-out counted or not. For example, I logged in in other Wikimedia project, but didn't get logged in at English Wikipedia while having a cross-wiki edit. Also, sometimes the Internet was error, the system may not detect my accounts and so it turns into the IP address. --A1Cafel (talk) 03:55, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
I haven't run a checkuser yet, and probably won't tonight. It's late. What Bbb23 mentioned above doesn't sound like it matches what you say here. SQLQuery me! 04:29, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

A1Cafel (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

It has been more than three months since I was blocked. In this three months, a lot of things happened. I'm doing great, so no need to worry about me. Regarding to the violating of unblock condition, perhaps I may be using IP sometimes unintentionally. As mentioned before, I often made cross-wiki activity. Sometimes the network may not be able to load my account, eventually using the IP to edit. Also, I move to a new college, but the network in the college is not good. Network error sometimes occurred. For the changing of the username, I just want to have a new start, and I have no means to escape any checking as I do have a number of edits after changing the username. I know this is not an excuse for violating the unblock condition. I have the responsibility to check the logging status before editing. In this cooling period, I check the logging status every time to avoid accidental log out. Regarding since I was unblocked in February 2018, I made lots of contribution to the Wikipedia. This period could prove my willingness to improve the society, rather than doing vandalism/disruptive editing. This is my main difference between those LTA. I hope I can be unblocked with the monitoring of the logging status. If the admins believe that it is unacceptable, then I have nothing to said, and I'm willing to accept the sanctions for a longer time. I wish all editors living happily, and wish all of them a Happy New Year.

Decline reason:

So, an editor with a past history of abuse of multiple accounts, abusive editing without logging in, and lying about doing so, "accidentally" edited without logging in yet again, frequently enough and in such ways as to raise enough suspicions for a CheckUser to be run. Then, when that editor has been blocked again, other people, unconnected to that person, make edits which look to Bbb23, an experienced and competent CheckUser, so much like editing by that person that he states as a fact that it was them. Hmm. Yes, it could happen, but no, it doesn't look remotely likely. Give you the benefit of the doubt? Unfortunately you used up all your credit in that respect long ago, when you were persistently dishonest, were given more chances, and were dishonest again. Two years ago you were given a last chance, and you decided to blow that chance; you don't keep on getting more and more last chances. You were given clear conditions for being unblocked, you chose to violate those conditions, and what is more you now choose not even to accept that you did so. That's the end, as far as I am concerned. JBW (talk) 16:24, 20 February 2020 (UTC)


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

  • You have continued to edit using IPs since I blocked you.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:49, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
    • I have no edits on English Wikipedia since then. As mentioned before, I moved to a new college called Chinese University of Hong Kong. At first I don't want to say it due to privacy, but in order to facilitate the unblock, I have no choice. I do have login in CUHK, and I also noted that there are a number of edits using IP in CUHK. Is {{Shared IP edu}} affect the above results? --A1Cafel (talk) 15:04, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
      • The only way I would consider unblocking you is with a 1 account restriction, only from this account and no clean starts. But Bbb23's comment gives me pause --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 05:44, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
        • @Guerillero: The user already had a one-account restriction, which they violated. Worse, they deny it.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:54, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
          • It seems that Bbb23 misunderstand my statement. In the unblock request, I have admitted that I use IPs previously. To be honest, I have stopped editing after the re-block. I'm puzzled that why there is IP edits associated with my account. Simply checking the nearby IPs may not be accurate. Maybe the checkusers can take them out, and compare with my editing behaviour. As 2019-nCoV is threathening all around the world, I hope everyone is safe and stay healthy. Compared with three years ago, I become more calm. Even the request was declined, I won't feel bad, and I won't have hard feelings to anyone. I have find someplace for me to contribute Wikipedia in a proper way. Hope everyone has a nice time. --A1Cafel (talk) 14:40, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

zunda towers

hello, A1Cafel! i noticed that you nominated a number of pictures on commons of the zunda towers for deletion because latvia does not freely permit the commercial use of images of works of architecture protected by copyright, which i was sad to learn about. however, after some digging, i learned that en wikipedia "[b]asically ... accept[s] images of buildings and structures taken anywhere in the world", according to wp:fop. i am assuming that this means that there are no issues with hosting these images on en wikipedia. do you agree? if so, would you mind copying these files over to en wikipedia? i cannot seem to figure out how to do it (or even figure out if it is possible to do so), and am guessing that you are far more familiar with commons than i am.

also, i just noticed that two of the files nominated were uploaded by Spi-group, an account that was presumably operated by the spi group. this group is involved with the zunda towers project, and i am assuming that they have the right to reproduce images of the towers for commercial purposes. as spi-group has noted that these two photos are their own work, and they have licensed both photos under cc by-sa 4.0, would this be considered sufficient to have them both remain on commons? the two photos in question are named "3Q Z-Towers facade .jpg" and "Z-Towers .jpg". dying (talk) 10:20, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
