Hey, CB. I've got a fairly serious case of ongoing vandalism over at the Amy White article about the Olympic swimmer. I've got an IP and new registered account attempting to re-task the article for shits and giggles about a student of similar name. Appears to be a couple of kids trying to get one of their names on a Wikipedia article. Looks like a short-term lockdown and perhaps a block or two for our SPA vandalism accounts would be appropriate. Can you help? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:08, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
Sorry if I'm interrupting you for updating Hurricane Patricia, but is it alright that the 26W track map needs to be put up? 26W had dissipated two days ago and I was waiting for you guys to create a map, but there's still none somehow. Typhoon2013 (talk) 07:00, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
I am sorry to say Cyclonebiskit. I didn't make that comment. If you notice my history of edits are limited to Royalty, and Ancient Egypt. It has also been a long time since I have made any.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hurricane Katrina tornado outbreak, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page White Hall, Virginia. 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.

There has been a major increase in vandalism in some of the Pacific typhoon seasons as of late. Many anons have added false names, meteorological statistics, image swapping, etc. It is mainly within the 1960s articles but it is at such a volume that it has become tedious sorting through what is constructive or vandalism. If you can help me go through some of the edits I would be very appreciative. Supportstorm (talk) 19:53, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Cyclonebiskit. Regarding the information about the discrepancies between CPHC and HURDAT, including only cyclones that achieved at least TS status, these are some I could dig up:
There are many more, some minor differences I didn't cited and many CPAC depressions weren't included in HURDAT.
Some sources:
Regards, ABC paulista (talk) 20:32, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
@Jason Rees: No, no it's okay. I just said that I didn't find any inconsistencies at all since the second source is based on CPHC BT, and both Madeline and 2003's Felicia weren't there, regarding our initial discussion, but I didn't do a detailed verification. If it's not going to be a nuisance, please do a second verification. More verifications will only add quality for it, and maybe you can find even more inconsistencies. ABC paulista (talk) 18:50, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
Thanks ABC paulista I just wanted to make sure that we were both singing from the same hymn sheet before proceeding, despite our difference of opinon over what the warning centers can and cant do with systems moving out of their area of responsibility. Anyway I feel the best way to procede for now is to split your list in to 3 groups. The first group should be pre 1982, the second group should be all of the EPAC to CPAC Crossovers and the third is what we are left with.Jason Rees (talk) 19:13, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
I thought I should consult you regarding edits to Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale: You opted to use the image of Hurricane Patrica, but as intense as it was, I disagree that it is the best image available. The storm is far too bright to make out any features in the thumbnail. Maybe Gilbert isn't the best example, but surely there is a better image somewhere? Dustin (talk) 21:19, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 is now in the books! Congrats to our finalists and winners, and to everyone who took part in this year's competition.
This year's results were an exact replica of last year's competition. For the second year in a row, the 2015 WikiCup champion is Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points). All of his points were earned for an impressive 253 featured pictures and their associated bonus points (5060 and 1695, respectively). His entries constituted scans of currency from all over the world and scans of medallions awarded to participants of the U.S. Space program. Cwmhiraeth (submissions) came in second place; she earned by far the most bonus points (4082), for 4 featured articles, 15 good articles, and 147 DYKs, mostly about in her field of expertise, natural science. Cas Liber (submissions), a finalist every year since 2010, came in third, with 2379 points.
Our newcomer award, presented to the best-performing new competitor in the WikiCup, goes to Rationalobserver (submissions). Everyone should be very proud of the work they accomplished. We will announce our other award winners soon.
A full list of our award winners are:
We warmly invite all of you to sign up for next year's competition. Discussions and polls concerning potential rules changes are also open, and all are welcome to participate. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2016 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Re- your revert: "Perpetrators: not confirmed, report is just going on a hunch it seems". It would be on a hunch if the article claimed that ISIS was responsible. In this case, the article simply point to what ISIS itself claimed, regardless of who is the true perpetrators. MarkYabloko 07:48, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

I would like to nominate 1933 Florida–Mexico hurricane for either A-Class or FA review. Is that possible, since I created the article? Please let me know how the chronology works (i.e., whether I need to have A-Class or FA done first), as well as whether I need others to nominate the article for a review.

Sorry to join in, but if you nominate it for GAN, I will review it. That is an important first step toward later classes. In addition, as it is part of the 1933 AHS good topic, it technically needs to be at to GA status within three months of the article being published. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:45, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.
After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine (User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason (User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew (User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.
We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.
The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.
If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hi. I have three things to say. Firstly, I really need an answer for my above question (see the second reply of ACE rating of 1992 season) that I posted a month ago. Secondly, I loved the edits that you made to Timeline of the 2015 Pacific hurricane season. You even added the coordinates for everything! I think it is on the verge of becoming a good article. I just wanted to let you know that you left out the November section there. I put the events for November as many as I could. But I did not know the times or the coordinates so I didn't put those. Could you please put the times and the coordinates and also put a picture in that section, as that section could also use a picture. Thirdly, could you please tell me how to do a merger? I proposed a merger one month ago of Katia and Katia (disambiguation) and it is not going anywhere. Please reply quickly. Thanks, 73.223.175.207 (talk) 07:05, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
I'm glad you enjoy the 2015 Timeline article~ They're pretty fun to write but are truthfully some of the least viewed articles in the project (next to obscure storms in non-NHC basins). Since it's not looked at terribly frequently, I felt it fine to just wait until Tropical Cyclone Reports are released to add missing storms as every entry would require re-writing to match the refined data. Central Pacific storms will still be added without their TCRs, as it's unlikely the CPHC will release their reports in a timely manner.
Lastly, the Katia merger thing is not within the scope of the meteorology projects so I was unaware this was even happening (neither of the pages are on my watchlist). You could leave a message at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anthroponymy to notify interested users to speed things up. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 13:49, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

I would appreciate it if you would restore the 6-month protection placed on Cyclone Laurence. As a Checkuser I placed the protection due to the excessive amount of sockpuppetry on the article after determining that range blocks would not be appropriate for this particular sockmaster. Nearly every edit on the article since October 2014 has been vandalism or socking. Of the last 50 edits to the page approximately 24 have been either vandalism or sock edits. Approximately 18 have been reverts of those edits. The remainder have been minor cosmetic changes, my protection, and then your change of the protection. As you have edited the article extensively, you should not be using your admin tools on the article as you are clearly WP:INVOLVED. It would have been appreciated if you had approached me to ask about the length of the protection, but that ship has sailed. Please restore my protection as requested. --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 17:09, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Are you sure Winston has become subtropical? The final warning from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center describes the status as becoming subtropical not subtropical, and the track from NOAA still uses TS, not SS. -- Meow 01:08, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
I meant to tag February 2016 North American storm complex as the one to be deleted as it was the original title; however, I neglected to pay attention and tagged the wrong page. Do you think it should be reverted back to "storm complex" or would it be alright to stay as "winter storm?" United States Man (talk) 03:41, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. Forty-seven competitors move into this round (a bit shy of the expected 64), and we are roughly broken into eight groups of six. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups.
Twenty-two Good Articles were submitted, including three by Cyclonebiskit (submissions), and two each by MPJ-DK (submissions), Hurricanehink (submissions), 12george1 (submissions), and Cas Liber (submissions). Twenty-one Featured Pictures were claimed, including 17 by Adam Cuerden (submissions) (the Round 1 high scorer). Thirty-one contestants saw their DYKs appear on the main page, with a commanding lead (28) by Cwmhiraeth (submissions). Twenty-nine participants conducted GA reviews with J Milburn (submissions) completing nine.

Primetime638 (talk) 02:12, 2 March 2016 (UTC) I noticed you just changed my edit of the May 31, 2013 El Reno tornado page. I will have you know, I am a meteorologist and the tornado was officially rated an EF5 tornado. Primetime638 (talk) 02:25, 2 March 2016 (UTC) My qualifications are completely relevant. The first rating was EF3 due to damage, but it was later raised to EF5 after radar-indicated readings and wind speeds. What are your sources?
Along with getting the year wrong in the newsletter that went out earlier this week, we did not mention (as the bot did not report) that Cas Liber (submissions) claimed the first Featured Article Persoonia terminalis of the 2016 Wikicup.

On 3 March 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hurricane Danny (2015), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

I think that if the name gets retired, it should be upped to high importance because of the El Faro controversy that is ongoing and the devastation caused in the Bahamas. The forecast errors are also quite notable.
Greetings, GA Cup competitors! Wednesday saw the end of Round 1. Sainsf took out Round 1 with an amazing score of 765. In second place, MPJ-DK earned an astounding 742 points, and in third place, FunkMonk received 610 points. In Round 1, 206 reviews were completed, more than any other year! At the beginning of March, there were 595 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 1, there were 490. We continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 2 so we can lower the backlog as much as possible. To qualify for the second round, you needed to make it into the top 16 of participants. Users were placed in 4 random pools of 4. To qualify for Round 3, the top 2 in each pool will progress, and there will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 9th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 2 will start on April 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on April 28 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found here Also, remember that a major rule change will go into effect starting on April 1, which marks the beginning of Round Two. Round 1 had an issue brought up in the rules, which we are correcting with this clarification. We believe that this change will make the competition more inherently fair. The new rule is: All reviews must give the nominator (or anyone else willing to improve the article) time to address the issues at hand, even if the article would qualify for what is usually called a "quick fail" in GA terms. To avoid further confusion, we have updated the scoring page, replacing the term "quick fail" with the term "fail without granting time for improvements". We expect all reviewers to put a review on hold for seven days in cases such as these as well, in order to apply the same standards to every competitor. The judges will strictly enforce this new rule. Good luck and have fun! Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

On 17 April 2016, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article William M. Gray, which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Stephen 23:47, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
