We are preparing to take a closer look at Featured articles promoted in 2004–2010 that may need a review. We started with a script-compiled list of older FAs that have not had a recent formal review. The next step is to prune the list by removing articles that are still actively maintained, up-to-date, and believed to meet current standards. We know that many of you personally maintain articles that you nominated, so we'd appreciate your help in winnowing the list where appropriate.
Please take a look at the sandbox list, check over the FAs listed by your name, and indicate on the sandbox talk page your assessment of their current status. Likewise, if you have taken on the maintenance of any listed FAs that were originally nominated by a departed editor, please indicate their status. BLPs should be given especially careful consideration.
Thanks for your help! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:33, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi and I created the article: Typhoon Chebi few days ago on April 28. I did so many research on this as well and for me, this is my second best article created as a Wikipedian. Could you please see it and grade it in its talk page. I rated it as a 'C' as a start but I need to study more about the quality scales and maybe the importance scales. Thanks. Typhoon2013 (talk) 07:24, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
On 3 May 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cyclone Pat, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Cyclone Pat in February 2010 caused no fatalities despite damaging or destroying 78% of the homes on Aitutaki in the Cook Islands? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cyclone Pat. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
The second round one has all wrapped up, and round three has now begun! Congratulations to the 34 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our second round. Leading the way overall was Cas Liber (submissions) in Group B with a total of 777 points for a variety of contributions including Good Articles on Corona Borealis and Microscopium - both of which received the maximum bonus.
Special credit must be given to a number of high importance articles improved during the second round.
The points varied across groups, with the lowest score required to gain automatic qualification was 68 in Group A - meanwhile the second place score in Group H was 404, which would have been high enough to win all but one of the other Groups! As well as the top two of each group automatically going through to the third round, a minimum score of 55 was required for a wildcard competitor to go through. We had a three-way tie at 55 points and all three have qualified for the next round, in the spirit of fairness. The third round ends on June 28, with the top two in each group progressing automatically while the remaining 16 highest scorers across all four groups go through as wildcards. Good luck to all competitors for the third round! Figureskatingfan (talk · contribs · email), Miyagawa (talk · contribs · email) and Sturmvogel 66 (talk · contribs · email) 16:28, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Yes, both Linfa and Nangka's damages are unknown sp instead I put minor. But maybe later or tomorrow, the damage for Linfa is already a Major. Just saying I've been doing this sort of stuff since 2013, especially when Wipha's damage was unknown that time, I instead put Major. Don't worry the damage for both storms, especially Linfa will be increased soon from a Minor, to a Minimal or a Moderate, then a Major, then when the NDRRMC updates their thing, the damages will be known.

Hi again. I just wanted to let you know that about the article you put for the source of Chan-hom's damages, the conversion is wrong so do you mind I'll change the result? Well, the article states that Y 1.9 billion equals $410 million but it is wrong. Y 1.9 billion equals to $305.8 million. That was the result when I converted it to USD.

It's fine that you removed them! But somehow I think WP just put them back in. Give me a moment, okay? Thanks! --Geekdiva (talk) 03:43, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
Okay, they're still removed. Some weirdness with the cross-editing, probably. I didn't want you to think you had to deal with a revert-berserker over here.
I truly only wrote this because I assume you have good faith and care about the article and its subject, so I have hope you might care about editor retention, too. Otherwise, I would have ignored it. Sorry this is so long, but I'm chronically ill, and substituting energy for time I say with Blaise Pascal, "I have made this letter longer than usual, because I lack the time to make it short."
Sorry, but this is an issue that I feel very strongly about. I first have to address the false assessment that this isn't something that has been going on since 2014. Actually now that I look back even farther, all of the articles from 2013 don't use the area tagging. Myself and other users started dropping the "area" tag for direct hits of towns back around this time period. United States Man actually started using even more specific information if a specific part of town is hit (ie. Southwestern Blanksville, Northern Blanksville). This has all caught on fairly well until the Eudora/Green Hill tornadoes. If I am forced to spoon-feed you this info to prove it to you, then I will. Actually take a look at these articles before you get back to me. Also look at the Tornadoes of 2015, there are no "area" tags until the Eudora/Green Hill edits as well. You'll see what I mean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_29%E2%80%9330,_2013_tornado_outbreak https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_17,_2013_tornado_outbreakto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tornadoes_in_the_April_27%E2%80%9330,_2014_tornado_outbreak https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_tornadoes_from_April_to_May_2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornadoes_of_2015
I'm not trying to boss you around, but this is pretty much the standard of how it's done now. It started in 2013 and other users didn't start catching on till around 2014 (so your assertion that I'm the only one who does this is also false). The purpose is more encyclopedic, precise, and specific documentation of the location of tornado events on this page. "Area" is just too vague and lazy, and I have seen it abused terribly in some of the older articles that I fixed up (40-mile plus long tracked tornadoes that simply passed near a town, and are simply listed via that town's name with an area tag next to it. Ridiculous). "Area" should only be used if no more specific information available. Anyway, based on the fact that I'm not the only user doing this at this point, I feel comfortable with keeping the area tagged dropped unless there is no specific information available. If you are that concerned, start a discussion. I stand by my decision on this one. Sharkguy05 (talk) 04:29, 16 July 2015 (UTC)Sharkguy05

Ok. So you said that the 15th TD in the 2015 PTS article weakened to an LPA and regenerated to a TD, right? And which is why I thought that it became the 16th TD. So yes I agree with that.
However I uploaded an image of TD 16 and someone changed the file name to JMA TD 17 because he thought that the 16th depression was the degeneration of the 15th depression, which is also not the 17th depression (since the 17th TD just formed 3 hrs ago). I don't know how to rename files so is it ok that you could rename the image file back to JMA TD 16? Thanks so much and can you please teach me how to rename files? Typhoon2013 (talk) 09:41, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
I want you to understand that the OPC wouldn't refer to the low as Post-tropical Claudette in the high-seas forecast had it "opened up". This is the last product they released before they discontinued tracking it. I cannot see why the OPC would claim it to be Claudette had there been doubt that the low was not intact and continuous. I also want to say that once a storm becomes extra-tropical over open ocean higher than 31N and west of 35W that the NHC releases its responsibility to the OPC for tracking systems. As with Ana when the NHC updated the ATCF file it had been extended to where the OPC had operationally stopped tracking it. Supportstorm (talk) 09:32, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

This is more of a semantics issue than anything, but the reason the tornado is EF2 is because of a lack of damage indicators rather than it being a weak tornado. It isn't known how strong it actually was, and the EF2 rating was the highest they could give it. --The Anonymous Macaw (talk) 02:13, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
I made a mistake regarding the EF4 wind speed; I misread "around 200 kph" as "around 200 mph" in one of the reports. It was my fault and I should definitely have checked the source more closely and linked to it. Anyway, while the tornado was probably stronger than EF2 at its peak, you're right that the rating is official and almost certainly won't be changed. --The Anonymous Macaw (talk) 03:42, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

It's a bit nonsensical to block someone solely for advertising if you don't actually remove the advertisement.

Hi there! I'm developing one new page and wanted to hear opinion from someone experienced. I'm having problem with establishing notability per wp:n. However, recently I managed to find some sources that may resolve notability problem. Could you give me a feedback on them?Cha cha cha dancer (talk) 17:20, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for replying. The notability of GTANet (GTAForums) is in its influence to GTA as it is considered as both unofficial and official GTA forum from most of gaming news' portals. Its content is what makes the difference from my point of view. From references that would be: they are recognized as major GTA fansite by Rockstar, they are most famous for the (un)famous Hot Coffee mod, they established modding community of GTA itself (2001), they are often seen as very dedicated fans (they made google street view for game's map), they are often main source for many very reliable gaming news portals (IGN, Gamezone, Kotaku, n4g). Besides, GTAForums is one of the biggest forums in the world with 650 000 members and 13 million posts. When it comes to notability and sources, I think it is better established than GTP. I don't think it's A class article of course, but I think how the subject and coverage provided to subject are quite enough for it to be stand alone article and not to be in danger of delete as, in the end, in does provide enough wp:n sources. Yes, some are only mentions, but not trivial mentions as whole articles were based on content made by GTAforumsCha cha cha dancer (talk) 21:24, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
Hello Cyclonebiskit, I have a bit of an odd request. I'm currently in a two-way talkpage-only wiki-policy-interpretation-related dispute. I think the other editor trusts your judgement, based on their edit-history. Do you have time to help this-a-way? Whatever your answer, thanks for reading.
p.s. Specifically, I'm asking for your assistance to broaden our two-way talkpage-discussion into a three-way talkpage-discussion, and maybe give some outside perspective that will help us figure out which of us (or perhaps in which specific yet distinct ways both of us) could be doing better. I realize that usually this would go to WP:3o, but our two-way-discussion hasn't been extensive enough for that to work. It could also be ANI, but that's very much not the outcome I'm after here, and am in particular asking that if you do give us a hand working this out, that you refrain from using mop-tools and/or escalating, if at all conceivably possible (you are free to boomerang them upon *me* if need be o'course... but from their edit-history and my own wiki-interests, I definitely expect that I'll be seeing this particular editor again in future talkpage-conversations, so I'm looking for somebody that they have expressed a liking for, whom will NOT cause them any grief/stress/etc). In other words, I'm looking for a trusted-by-both neutral diplomat to help me get a working editor-to-editor-relationship functioning more correctly, not a tattle-to-the-big-admin that will "solve" the problem in drama-inducing fashion; you seem to fit the bill, if you are willing.
p.p.s. The topic-area in question has nothing to do with storms, weather, climate, et cetera that you normally contribute to, or so I hear. It's about politics in the USA, mostly-kinda. Also, you and I haven't interacted before that I know, which is one of the reasons I picked you. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 21:25, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.
In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far Casliber (submissions) in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was Coemgenus (submissions) at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.
The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.
Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!

The article Cyclone Rusty you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Cyclone Rusty for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Satoru Iwata, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page GDC. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, Cyclonebiskit. Cyclone Rusty, an article you either created or significantly contributed to, has been nominated to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page as part of Did you know. You can see the hook and the discussion here. You are welcome to participate! Thank you. APersonBot (talk!) 14:57, 14 September 2015 (UTC) |
Hello. Wikipedia's cascading protection doesn't extend to Commons. So when placing a Commons image on the main page, please ensure that it's been protected beforehand. Otherwise, it will remain a potential vandalism target until KrinkleBot detects the transclusion and updates Commons:Auto-protected files/wikipedia/en accordingly (which won't occur at all during outages, some of which have spanned several days).
A Commons image can be protected via the Commons media protection page or by uploading a local copy (which should be tagged with the {{uploaded from Commons}} template).
Currently, this notice (stressing the importance of reading the administrator instructions and protecting the image) appears when the ITN template is edited. If you know of any ways to make it more attention-grabbing, your help would be appreciated. Thank you. —David Levy 21:04, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi Cyclonebiskit, I noticed you closed an ITN nomination that I posted here. Generally posted items aren't hard closed so that the nomination can be used as a workspace for an item (beyond the scope of WP:ERRORS) or if there is a possibility of additional voters later requesting that the item be pulled (for example, there are referencing issues that were not adequately resolved, or the item receives an orange tag that needs to be dealt with). Posted items generally are only closed if there's lengthy nonproductive debate after posting. Best, SpencerT♦C 17:35, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
I cant do much but I feel that Cassianto's response towards Rational has been a case of harassment . Can this be at the very least rev deleted as this is just adding hate not constructive commentary. Is this kind of thing even worth reporting at this point? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:48, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
Congratulations on this by the way. I wondered what was going on when I noticed you blocked an IP for vandalizing 2014 Pacific typhoon season (I have been out a while...). I know you will be a great administrator, and it will be good to have another one around this WikiProject (and also one who I am familiar with).

May I ask why you opted to not include the track line? Thanks. Dustin (talk) 03:11, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
Unless you *really* enjoy uploading local image copies from Commons and cutting and pasting descriptions and licences, there's a much easier way! Just add the image filename to Wikipedia:Main Page/Commons media protection, wait a few minutes until the bot protects it at Commons by checking c:Commons:Auto-protected files/wikipedia/en, then you can use it in the ITN template.

Fantastic work bringing Satoru Iwata to FA status! —zziccardi (talk) 20:59, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi Cyclonebiskit. I just saw on my watchlist that your FAC has been promoted. That's great, congrats! I'm sorry I wasn't able to revisit; maybe someday I'll get to read it—for fun. The Wikipedian Penguin 15:45, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
Hello Cyclonebiskit, this message is in regards to an edit of mine which you recently reverted in Hurricane Joaquin saying that "Wx Centre is not a reliable source." I was just wondering what brought you to this conclusion? --Undescribed (talk) 21:51, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
On 11 October 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cyclone Rusty, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Cyclone Rusty caused sustained gales that affected Port Hedland for a record-breaking 39 hours straight? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cyclone Rusty. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

For your tireless and, well, amazing work on the Pokémon list. It's a difficult thing to handle, but I think you're doing it perfectly. Keep it up, not much longer until we can replace at least the first 151 Pokémon! :D ~Mable (chat) 13:00, 14 October 2015 (UTC) |
