Nominations for MoTM

Destroyeraa (talk · contribs)

I am proud to nominate Destroyeraa as the Member of the Month for this issue of The Hurricane Herald. Destroyeraa is one of the finest editors I have ever come across on WPTC and on Wikipedia, in general. He is an excellent article writer, having created over 20 tropical cyclone articles and having promoted 5 articles to GA status, all in his first year as a registered user! He is also a great anti-vandal user, having taken down many vandals and LTAs, and he has helped me out on a number of occasions. Yeah, he has screwed up in the past, but none of us are perfect; most importantly, he learned from his mistakes. Before his WikiBreak, he was one of the most active users on WPTC and a key individual in the revival of the WikiProject and in its other activities. He is also one of the nicest users I know, and many of us have come to see him as a friend. He has reached out to us when we were in need, and honestly, I haven't seen him do anything that would make me question my trust in him. I don't think that his recent retirement should be a disqualifying factor; in any case, he has since decided to return after his school year ends in late June. Please vote below.

• Very Strong Support – As the nominator. Destroyeraa is one of the best users I have ever come across on WPTC and on Wikipedia, as a whole. He's a very good writer (he wrote 20+ tropical cyclone articles and he has 5 GAs now) and a skilled anti-vandal user as well. He's also a good friend; in fact, he's a close friend of mine now. I think that Destroyeraa is an excellent candidate for MoTM. It's a shame that he didn't get the nomination in the past. I think that this nomination is long overdue.

• Strong Support per above. ~ 🌀HurricaneCovid🌀 02:09, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
• Strongest support possible I'm very surprised that I was picked above Destroyeraa back in October 2020. Destroyeraa deserves this the most, and I would have picked him (alongside Robloxsupersuperhappyface) if not for that [won't tell]. MarioJump83! 02:14, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
• Support Per above 🌀CycloneFootball71🏈 |sandbox 02:15, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
• Support! Despite me, not knowing significantly about him, I saw that he is one of the most memorable editors here in WPTC and on wiki. As MarioJump83 said, he deserves this recognition. LowercaseGuy chow! 02:33, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
• Strongest support that could ever be seen Considering my comments on User talk:Chicdat/Something I want to say, how could I not support. He is the kindest, most thoughtful, and friendliest user I've ever seen around here. It doesn't even matter that he hasn't edited in two months; his legacy is more than enough for me. 🐔 Chicdat  ^{Bawk to me!} 10:17, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
• Support Amazing editor. He gave me advice during my formative months on WPTC which helped me grow into the editor I am today. If it weren't for him (and many others, but still) I could have been a disrupive editor here. His reform after he socked inspired me to admit the truth about my own 🧦ing. I think many people have been touched by him during his tenure. CodingCyclone! 🌀 📘 00:50, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
• Strong Support Very kind user, and very active, before his wikibreak. I can't believe he was not nominated before. ~~ 🌀𝚂𝙲𝚂 𝙲𝙾𝚁𝙾𝙽𝙰🌀 12:54, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
• Strongest Support Per above. Dam222 🌋 (talk) 14:56, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
• Strong Oppose - I strongly oppose Destroyeraa being the MOTM, until he makes some more substantial edits and shows a better understanding of Wikipedia's policies.Jason Rees (talk) 23:01, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
• Strongest Support I've Ever Had I feel that its wrong to say no to any nomination here. LOL! I'm just glad he's back. I missed him! He has my vote.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 00:23, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

August Storm of the month: Ida?

Can we all agree that Hurricane Ida is the storm of the month? LOL!ChessEric (talk · contribs) 00:28, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

@ChessEric, I do definitely agree that Ida is the SOTM, however I believe that it is going to be held off until next newsletter, so that there is space to include it. 🌀CycloneFootball71🏈 |sandbox 03:39, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

@CycloneFootball71: Oh. Okay. LOL!ChessEric (talk · contribs) 19:20, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
