Disambiguation link notification for May 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2015 Pacific typhoon season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chuuk. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:29, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Do you need help?
It seems you're a little lost on what to do on Wikipedia. Do you need assistance? If so, I'll gladly guide you along. You have great enthusiasm toward hurricane articles, which is great! We can definitely use some of that around here. You just need to learn the ropes a bit more. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 17:24, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

GA review
Could you finish one of the GA reviews before "claiming" another one? You have five open, which prevents others from reviewing then, but you haven't done anything to them yet. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 13:47, 19 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I've reverted several of your recent "claims" to GA reviews, pending follow-ups to Talk:Typhoon Maysak (2015)/GA1 and Talk:Tropical_Storm_Mekkhala_(2015)/GA1, which you initiated several days ago. I appreciate your enthusiasm in tackling these reviews, but each one requires special attention, and it's not fair to the article writers to essentially stall multiple nominations while they await your comments. Thanks for your understanding, and if you need any help with the aforementioned GANs, feel free to ask. –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 19:10, 19 November 2015 (UTC)


 * As you have fewer than 200 edits on Wikipedia, and no prior experience in the Good Article space, let me point you to the good article criteria, and also to the WP:GAREVIEW page. As a beginning reviewer, it is strongly recommended that you start with one (or maybe two) reviews at a time, and not take on more until you have completed these. Also, it's suggested that you have a mentor look over your review before finalizing it, so what Juliancolton offers above is well worth taking advantage of. Best of luck. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:35, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I've also deleted your empty GA review pages for the two articles I mentioned above, seeing as it's been ten days without any comments or even an indication of when you might begin the review. –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 18:11, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

I have just had to revert a clearly inadequate and improper listing of Typhoon Maysak (2015) as a Good Article based on the review at Talk:Typhoon Maysak (2015)/GA1. No Good Article criteria are actually mentioned in the extremely brief review, although I mentioned them above, and a mentor was not engaged prior to approval although I strongly urged it be done and Juliancolton had offered. While your enthusiasm for the process is appreciated, your lack of understanding of how it works and what it means is causing damage. I am formally requesting that you do not do any further reviews until you have gained considerably more experience here at Wikipedia, preferably including making a GA nomination of your own and seeing by virtue of having it reviewed what is involved from the other side, since you seem uninterested in working with a mentor on your own reviews. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:27, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Just to confirm what BlueMoonset has said, I'd still like to help. Unfortunately, there's not much I can do until you've at least acknowledged some of these messages regarding your edits. You seem to have an interest in the GA process, but frankly, it's unlikely that any of your reviews will be allowed to stand until you've made an effort to communicate with more experienced reviewers. Since I'm certain that you must have seen your talk page notifications, I'm a little unclear on why you haven't responded to assure us of your good intentions. However, I get the impression that there may be a language barrier getting in the way. We encourage people from all regions and cultures to participate, but if you're not very comfortable with English, it might be more gratifying and productive for you to contribute to your native language Wikipedia. –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 17:45, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Warning
Your repeated malformed and incomplete GA reviews and review claims are disruptive, for the reasons outlined in the above threads. If you do not refrain from starting new reviews without soliciting the help of an experienced reviewer, you may be blocked from editing. –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 03:41, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

FAC
I appreciate that you are acting in good faith, but it is best if are nominated by people who have worked closely on them. In this way, they can give reasoned replies to reviewers and be familiar enough with the sources to act on suggested improvements. Someone who has not worked on the article can not provide this input, so the nomination may continue until opposition to it becomes so overwhelming that the article is failed; this takes away time from reviewers. While the Tropical Storm Thelma article is of reasonable quality, it is not yet of featured quality, and principal contributors must be consulted before a nomination, as required in the. -- Laser brain  (talk)  10:52, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Inappropriate GA nominations
N-C16, you are currently nominating a large group of articles at GAN en masse, and these are articles, so far as I can determine, where you are not a significant contributor to the article. According to the GA instructions, people who have not worked on articles should not nominate them for GA status unless they have first consulted with the article's regular contributors, something you have not done.

Please stop nominating articles until you have obtained consensus that they are ready to do so. This is not the first time there have been issues with you at GA; you were doing invalid reviews last year. I strongly recommend that you proceed with caution and according to the rules. Thank you.

I am afraid I am going to have to revert your out-of-process nominations for the moment. Please proceed incrementally in future, not all at once. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:56, 25 July 2016 (UTC)


 * You did this in this edit to the Effects of Hurricane Matthew in Haiti. I've done most of the work to the article, and I know it isn't anywhere near time for a GA nomination. If you want to be helpful, try adding information in. I'm only one editor, trying to keep up with the sheer amount of information. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:03, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Hurricane Gaston warnings
Please cool it with the warnings. While those edits which were restoring the Hurricane Gaston (2016) article were arguably unnecessary (as the information was better suited as a section of the main season article as Hurricanehink said), they are not the kinds of edits that should be responded to with vandalism warning templates. Some of those editors you warned are established users, and I can ensure you that their edits were vandalism. Additionally, those edits were days ago. Dustin ( talk ) 01:05, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Also, if you have any questions or anything else, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. I just thought I'd mention it. Dustin ( talk ) 01:07, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Agatha (2010)
Any reason why you moved that article back? It's unquestionably the most notable version of the store (similar to Cyclone Yali), so I don't see any point in having the year. YE Pacific  Hurricane 05:06, 22 October 2016 (UTC) Yea, I moved it back. It is the most important storm named Agatha, so it should redirect here. Also, you should slow down on the move requests. I'm not sure if you knew, but there are really only about 10-15 regular editors involved in hurricane articles, and I'm including you in there. If you want a lot of articles moved, or want to talk about anything that affects multiple articles, you should post it on the talk page for WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:46, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Agatha is not retired yet. It can refer to other stroms of the same name, e.g. Tropical Storm Agatha (1992). This storm also caused some damages. --N-C16 (talk) 07:02, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. Bbb23 (talk) 17:16, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

{unblock | reason=I haven't had multiple accounts simultaneously. I don't know why I am blocked. I tried to declare all the possible conflicts on my user page. I listen to other's opinion. I am trying to adhere to all Wikipedia policies/guidelines and will continue to do so. I always assume good faith. Please unblock. N-C16 (talk) 23:16, 27 October 2016 (UTC)} (Unblock disabled as repalced by one below Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:33, 1 November 2016 (UTC))
 * First, you don't have to edit simultaneously to violate policy, but in fact you did have multiple accounts simultaneously. Second, your userpage didn't exist. Third, some of what you did was obvious trolling, e.g., edit-warring between yourself using different accounts. One of your accounts created an absurd page. Your main account then nominated that page for deletion. It looks like your principal activity at Wikipedia was malicious deception.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:19, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

So you first say your only other account is User:BFF12, which "doesn't participate in English Wikipedia". But then you go on to say you were "edit-warring by using different accounts". Those two claims contradict each other. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:13, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * BFF12 is the only account that was not blocked. "Edit-warring by using different accounts" means the other two accounts. i.e.CBA Meal, FRG2. --N-C16 (talk) 13:15, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * OK, so the full list of accounts you have used is User:N-C16 (this one), User:CBA Meal, User:FRG2, and User:BFF12 (Chinese only) - is that right? Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:51, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I want to add something here, Boing!. The amount of disruptive editing without logging in is just as much a part of this block as the use of named accounts. The user wasn't simply forgetting to log in. They were intended to be abusive and deceptive by their very nature. Because I can't reveal the IP(s) used by this person, that evidence will remain private except to another CU if they are interested, but the fact that it cannot be shown does not prevent it from being included in the body of evidence of abuse against this person.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:02, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Understood, thanks. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:23, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Oh hi there and you must be new. So recently I have seen your edits within the Wikimedia commons for TC images. I really just want to note that, there is someone here (you may know who he is) who is wasting their time making images that are not 'high-quality' or accurate enough.

 * I have posted to Administrators' noticeboard, indicating a support for unblocking. However, it will be necessary to wait to see whether there is any more input there, and especially to wait for the administrator/CheckUser who blocked this account to have a chance to comment.

Satellite image edit warring
This is a warning going out to all editors involved in the multitude of edit warring across WikiProject Tropical cyclones. This is a preemptive warning to cease the edit warring before another incident arises and the consequences of ignoring this warning will be enforced immediately. The endless reverting and replacing of images with or without valid rationale has reached the point of being disruptive. These edits are generally a waste of time and focus should be placed on the content of the article rather than a single image. Continued edit warring will result in temporary bans—for 36 hours or longer—at the discretion of administrators. At the time of this warning, the project discussion on these images is still open and arguments within do not constitute project policy. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 03:21, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when  is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password.

Election article moves
Hello B dash. As you may have seen from my RM closes at Talk:2004 United States presidential election and Talk:2014 Scottish independence referendum, a bot is due to move all the articles in the next few days, so there's no need to request RMs. You're welcome to move articles manually where you can - these will just be ignored by the bot when it runs.

Tropical Depression Nineteen-E
Hey, I was just wondering if you could help with fleshing out Tropical Depression Nineteen-E (2018)'s impact section? From what I have seen, this TD did hundreds of millions in damages. I have researched sources for the flooding in general and specifically for Baja California. I would appreciate it if you could help. <span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#009200 0.3em 0.4em 1.0em,#009200 -0.2em -0.2em 1.0em;color:#009200">Figfires Send me a message! 23:13, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

Titles of articles about Australian towns and localities
Hi B dash. I notice that you have recently been granted page mover status, and have been enjoying the new privilege. Please not that there is a very long standing consensus not to move existing articles about Australian places from "Place, " to "Place". If you want to increase the proportion of articles with the shorter form of titles, please create new articles for the places that don't have one yet, and make the redirect from the longer form to your new articles. Thank you. --Scott Davis Talk 12:07, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

please be more attentive
In the last few weeks you've nominated nine (9) files I've uploaded for deletion of which: six (6) have been kept, one (1) will almost certainly be closed as keep, and the other two (2) were deleted because I didn't see them in the whirlwind of your deletion tagging and didn't get around to contesting the nomination. If you need to familiarize yourself with WP's copyright policies this (FAQ/Copyright) is a good starting point. Slapdash nominations create a significant strain on everyone's time.

Premature closure of DAP RM
I feel your closure of the RM discussion of Democratic Action Party was a bit premature since a) I had just pinged two users to get their replies to evidence I presented and b) because neither the nominator nor the two supporters of a move gave any evidence to support the move (nb WP:VOTE). I was wondering if you could please reopen the discussion or at least if you will support me opening a new RM.

Your request to lift your editing restrictions
Hi B dash. As per Administrators%27_noticeboard - (permanent link) - the restriction on your making Good Article nominations is lifted. The one remaining restriction in place is a requirement to only edit from a single account. This should not be an onerous restriction, however, should you wish to lift this restriction then you must either return to the Administrator's notice board and make your case for this, explaining why an additional account or accounts are necessary, or, if you feel there are privacy concerns, to contact the Arbitration Committee privately. I noted this restriction was not logged at Editing restrictions so have remedied this. Should you have any questions, please let me know.

Landing Zones 1 and 2
Hi B dash! You closed the move discussion at Talk:Landing Zones 1 and 2 as no consensus. However I totaled the actual votes to move to SpaceX landing zones as 4 to 2, which given the number of editors working on the page seems like a clear consensus. I would like you to remove the no consensus tag and to close the discussion as in favor of the move. Cheers! UnknownM1 (talk) 14:14, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Carlotta
Looks like Carlotta may have actually had a broad impact. Two deaths were reported as far inland as Aguascalientes (indirect), which means surrounding states (ones located to the southwest) must have been impacted as well since Aguascalientes is a pretty small state.

Speedy delete nomination

 * The discussion above was my only basis for initiating the 'speedy delete' process, which is more an explanation than an excuse.

Non-admin closure of requested move of Grahamstown
The requested move of Grahamstown to Makhanda, Eastern Cape was proposed since reliable sources have been using the new name of "Makhanda" after the official change 6 months ago, with examples of reliable sources using the new name. There was one opposition !vote using a claim that had no supporting evidence (even after a request was made).

You made a non-admin closure against the proposal, but such a closure should not be done by a non-admin since there is no clear consensus whatsoever. Please undo your NAC. — MarkH21 (talk) 05:39, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Crusaders (DC/Marvel)
I'm confused why you relisted the discussion now at Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 May 5. There is a clear consensus for delete, so it does not need to be relisted. Per WP:RELIST, discussions are relisted because there are only a few participants (including the nominator), and/or it seems to be lacking arguments based on policy, which is not the case with that discussion. If you feel there may be a consensus to delete, please leave it for an admin to handle. Otherwise, you are contributing to the WP:RELISTBIAS problem. -- Tavix ( talk ) 14:52, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
