/Hatemail
Your /Hatemail subpage is almost surely against policy, and I will be having a long discussion with admins over this. Chacor 01:06, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Re:Mediterranean Canes
Thanks! I'm really thinking about re-creating my article to make it look more real. I made it when I was still new here. Hink's article is much cooler than mine ever was, IMO. I'll add your name to the list. →Cycl  one1 → 13:25, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I made my subpage better. Its on 2006 now, as there was a hurricane form earlier this year. →Cycl   one1 → 17:06, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Hypothetical Canes
Dude! Those are so awesome!!! Wow! Very creative. I couldn't find any errors other than a typo here and there. I'm just surprised that I inspired somebody. Please tell me when you finish the your third one. I love Hypothetical hurricanes or a few reasons. 1). They can help improve article writing. 2). I love all to do with hurricanes. 3). You can write about hurricanes without having to look up a trillion acres of information. 4.) I love all to do with hurricanes. Lol. Nice. One question... How could a Mexican/Texan hurricane spawn a tornado in Nebraska? Just asking. →Cycl  one1 → 14:32, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

NWP windspeeds
The correct unit for windspeeds in the NWP is knots, as that is what the JMA (and JTWC) both use operationally. For PAGASA and CMA storms, the correct windspeed unit is km/h. Chacor 01:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Re... Uh, Everything you've posted
Lol. No, no I'm not busy, I was trying to get back to you for a while, but, I have AOL, and I got blocked. Then I had to go to oreintaion for high school.... (sigh) Life. It is possible for a hurricane to go through Tornado Alley and spawn dozens of tornadoes, But I must have missed the sentence saying Emily did that. As for the southern storm, It's very interesting and really unusually large, but its waaaaaaaaaaaay too cold there for tropical develpoment. I do admit that this storm does look quite subtropical, but it's most likey a polar cyclone. Very cool idea on the South Atlantic storm! Looks good! Nice articles! I'll alert you when I finish Hurricane Laura. This is fun! →Cycl  one1 → 03:39, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Finished with Laura. →Cycl   one1 → 05:19, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Just started Hurricane Ajax - 2010: Mediterranean hurricane. Isn't Ajax the coolest name for a hurricane? →Cycl   one1 → 06:21, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Very cool. Two problems with #'s 3 and 4... There have been eyes larger than 65 miles across, the largest being 200 miles. (see here). And the name Julia, the replacement name for Juliette is on the 2010 Atlantic list. →Cycl   one1 → 13:55, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Finished Ajax. →Cycl   one1 → 14:29, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Hi. I really don't want to sound like I'm picking on you, so I'll phrase this as best I can. NRL isn't official (for that matter, neither is the JTWC). Just because NRL says a storm is 10W.NONAME doesn't mean the JTWC has done so yet, so we should always wait until it's made official. Chacor 07:12, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Huh?
Okay, If you don't want me to edit your sandbox Ewiniar article, its fine, but please do not pick on me and slyly say that you wasn't giving me a personal attack. I also thought we agreed to stop bugging eachother, right? So please stop it, it is so annoying and Wikipedia is not a place you bug people just because of another's edit. Alastor Moody (talk) 03:58, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Uh... huh? Chacor 04:32, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Saomai
Hi. I can understand your point of view, but you need to understand mine. Whatever was there was an exact copy of the seasonal article stuff. Maybe it's better to work on it within your own userspace first, like at User:Alastor Moody/Sandbox/Saomai. Chacor 10:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Just as an additional thought: This is useful, working in your personal space, otherwise you'd end up with poorly-written articles (like Chris). Oh, and as another note, if you do decide to take my advice, wwhen you finish the article in your personal space, please don't copy-and-paste over the redirect, rather, get an administrator to move it for you, so that it doesn't violate the GFDL. Chacor 10:51, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Chacor is right here. The best way to make an article is a few days after the event when there is some actualy information on the storm; you didn't actually add any new content to article beyond what is in the season. When Chacor recreated the Ewiniar article, he had waited some time for info to become available - and the article was much better as a result. I agree with him, if you want to make an article make it up in a user subpage. Oh, saying things like Saomai is the Katrina of China is highly inappropriate, it makes you seem like you want that to happen.--Nilfanion (talk) 11:04, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

WP:SIG
Hello. I see from this diff that you're not signing your posts properly. For the convenience of all Wikipedians, please sign your posts with ~~ - these leave a proper timestamp without you needing to think about the correct UTC time (which you're currently no converting correctly). You can still use your customised signature if you change your preferences. Just add whatever you want your sig to be like into the "nickname" field. Please remember to select "raw signature". Chacor 07:49, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not a problem, glad to be of help. Chacor 08:04, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Unblock request
Your block log shows nothing. Can you please paste, below, the text of the screen that appears when you try to edit an article? Kimchi.sg 00:18, 16 August 2006 (UTC) :Okay, here's an example of what comes out when I try to edit a page. Alastor Moody (talk) 00:31, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Iau three.jpg removed from your user page
An image or media file, Image:Iau three.jpg, has been removed from your userpage or user talk page because it was licensed as fair use. Wikipedia's fair use policy states that fair use images should only be used in the article namespace. As a result, although users are often given a great amount of latitude in the type of content that is allowed on their user pages, it is requested that you abide by this policy. Feel free, however, to add images and media files licensed under other terms. For more information, see Wikipedia's fair use policy and an accompanying essay on the removal of fair use images. Thank you for your cooperation.

I removed another fair-use image as well. --  tariq abjotu  23:11, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

That accidental block
I'm glad that the block that crossed your path the other day has disappeared and you are able to edit again. All the administrators who have seen this page have confirmed that you didn't do anything wrong and the block had nothing to do with you. I suggest that you remove the "unblock" template that is now on the top of this page, or at least move it to the bottom of the page. Otherwise anyone who sees the template might think you are still blocked until they see the discussion farther down. Regards, Newyorkbrad 17:13, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Re:Category 6 WHS
Since there isnt an offical Category 6 on the Saffir-Simpson scale, and there is no box coloring for a category 6, I cant add one.  °≈§→  Robom  æ  yhem:   T / ←§≈° 03:07, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

IRC
Hey, if you're there, could you go on the WPTC's IRC? Just go to http://www.ircatwork.com/ and type in a nickname (Alastor or Alastor Moody would be good), then type in "#wiki-hurricanes" in the box that says channel next to it. Hope to see you there; I'm really bored. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 12:55, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: El Nino
Uh, have you taken a look at the Atlantic recently? How can you say that we're in an El Nino? The Atlantic is above average! Normal seasons, at least normal seasons since the active cycle started in 1995, typically have 4 storms by the end of August. We have 5. The EPAC is about average as well. In the last couple of years, having the I storm by the end of August is very normal. How can you say there's an approaching El Nino without any data to back it up? Waters near the EPAC equator is about normal, without any abnormal warmth. I don't know why you would think this year is below normal. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:33, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Image
Done. BTW, to link an image without showing it, use a colon: Image:800px-Kaiserpinguine mit Jungen.jpg. --Golbez 21:13, 3 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Image:Ioke Brewing in the WPac.jpg - you incorrectedly tagged this PD-USGov, just a reminder that next time, all NRL images are PD-USGov-Military-Navy. – Chacor 02:17, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Note
Just a note that I have made two edits to your pages, because of recent events that have led to a new proposed policy at WP:CHILD. You can revert, although it is strongly encouraged that you don't - read the proposal to find out more and why. – Chacor 09:04, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Florence
I didn't say you were vandalising - you said I was vandalising ("rvv" means "revert vandalism"). I know your edits arre in good faith, but we cannot accept them - WP:V and WP:CITE. – Chacor 02:54, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * "rv" = "Revert". "rvv" = "Revert vandalism". Calling good-faith edits vandalism (which means, saying "rvv" is included) violates Wiki policy. In general, "rvv" only when it's clear vandalism. Otherwise use "rv" and give a reason. – Chacor 03:03, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Image:55 Cancri d.jpg
Hi, you put up a notice on this image stating you were unsure of the copyright status. The image is by Lynette Cook, and the image use policy is , which means we probably shouldn't be using the image. Chaos syndrome 11:19, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Your sig
Just a note, your sig is getting way too long. You should probably shorten it. --Core des at talk. o_O 01:25, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * And you should probably shorten it more than that. You don't need the link to Alastor Moody in it, for instance. --Core des at talk. o_O 01:02, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No offense, but your signature isn't stubby. There are guidelines that discourage sigs as long as yours: see WP:SIG. Also, see WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF. --Core des at talk. o_O 01:12, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The link to WPTC isn't needed either. I suggest Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody - much shorter, and serves the purpose. – Chacor 01:28, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * May I suggest linking to a navigation subpage (or your main user page) which then directs people to all those other pages? —AySz88\ ^ - ^  03:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Hurricane Katrina Eyewall.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hurricane Katrina Eyewall.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't include an image source, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. In the future, when uploading images, ALWAYS include a link to the source. Thank you. – Chacor 04:32, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Active seasons talk
Please don't post messages on pages that are completely irrelevant to the topic of the page. It can be seen as spam and Wikipedia regards adding spam to articles or talk pages as a form of vandalism. Thank you. Nilfanion (talk) 00:51, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Hurricane Lane (2006).jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hurricane Lane (2006).jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Re:Are ya comin' back?
Well, I really only ended going on a real wikibreak for two days, because I just couldn't take life without wikipedia. Then I found that when school started, the only thing I had time for in the day besides school, soccer, homework, and dinner was the computer. So I should be on a lot. But, sadly, my social life has only gotten a little better. íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 12:29, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia is NOT a chatroom
Please do not use the Talk:2006 Atlantic hurricane season as a chatroom. It is not the purpose of a talkpage. Feel free to chat on a site off of Wikipedia. Hello32020 19:31, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

There is no special advisory.
Please do not say false information on a talkpage, as you did to Talk:2006 Pacific hurricane season. Hello32020 19:45, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

RfC
Just letting you know that there is an RfC about you located at Requests for comment/Alastor Moody. Feel free to go there and state your case. --Core des at talk! 20:54, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Just a reminder about your RfC - you need to go there and state your case. Having a RfC open about you doesn't stop you from contributing in any way, so you may continue contributing while the RfC runs its course. --Core des at talk! 21:26, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * You can go on and post in the "Response" section on the RfC page. --Core des at talk! 22:55, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Alastor, you should seriously respond to the RFC (follow Coredesat's link). If you contribute to it, it can help you become a better editor. However, ignoring it does not make you look good and might lead to negative consequences for you.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:26, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

WP:NPA
Re. this edit, Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. – Chacor 01:32, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

RfC
Do go to your RfC page and respond to the points made against you. This isn't something to take lightly. Ignoring it will not make it go away. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 19:39, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Re:Simple Wikipedia

 * You mean the note above? Oh, that would be someone I know personally. íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 21:08, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Be careful
I'm just warning you to watch what you say. On the 2006 EPac talk page, you commented this.

"Well Hink, Chacor is usually a strict guy who forbids like making storm articles until they're dead. And also, Daniel has been "nominated" several times for an article, so did Kristy for something notable about them but Chacor just won't allow it."

I'm sure this breaks (WP:Civil) due to the fact that I feel you were putting Chacor in a bad light, which I'm sure you didn't mean to, but it just looked that way. I'm not condeming you, but warning you that you may face penalties if you don't watch yourself. guitarhero777777 04:09, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh. I see that Chacor himself has already warned you above. Well, just take it as a friendly reminder. guitarhero777777 04:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Request for Comment
Dear Alastor Moody: As someone mentioned above, there has been a "Request for Comment" filed about you. This is also called an "RfC" for short. It was filed a few days ago, and you haven't responded yet. I have no involvement at all with the request for comment, and came across the page originally when I was looking for something else, but since you haven't answered I thought I would post here and remind you that it's there. Filing a request for comment against a user means that one or more other editors of Wikipedia think there is a problem with something that you have been doing in your editing. On the RfC page they will have explained what they think the problems are. You are being offered a chance to respond to them and you should think seriously about doing it. In your response, you should say whatever you think is important to help the other editors understand your editing. If you had a good reason for doing something they disagreed with, you should say what it was. If you realize you did something you shouldn't have and you agree you won't do it again, you should say that. I haven't edited the hurricane articles you specialize in, so I don't really have anything to say about the substance of the RfC, but I want you, like anyone else contributing to Wikipedia, to get along with the other people who are interested in the same topic you are. No one says that you should change who you are or what your interests are, but you may need to make some changes to how you contribute to Wikipedia. I hope you will think about this and that you will be making valuable, strong contributions for a long time, but addressing these issues is the best way to do that. Good luck.
