Draft:2011–12 North American winter
That page is a draft I have been working on for quite awhile now. I was hoping for it to eventually become an "ideal" example of North American winter article (since most articles in that series could be improved), but I never seem to have enough time to finish it. As such, I have written it only little bits at a time, for the most part. If you have any questions about Wikipedia or about that draft, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page.

 * I made edits to the page last week as an anonymous user and today signed in but I reverted them as you said not to edit it. Also added list of the storms to the 2010-2011 winter season page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonymous Ryan (talk • contribs) 23:56, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
 * When "Kecoble" and "Karrotcobbler" made some unhelpful edits (including mass blanking) and prematurely moved the page to mainspace, I moved it back because I did not want other users to edit it yet. I worried that should the article be moved to mainspace prior to being completed, other users trying to fill in missing information would potentially write with a different style and/or write in a way that would not comply with what I wrote at Draft talk:2011–12 North American winter, which in my opinion would be the cause for a potential drop in quality due to inconsistent writing. The article is in the process of being written, hence why those headings you mentioned (the ones you added then removed) are not there; I am trying to write the article in a progressive manner, from start to finish. At the current time, there are about five missing "Events" section subheadings for sections I have yet to write about, plus a "Records" heading and perhaps some additional subheadings of that. It's not that I haven't thought to add them, but rather that I would rather avoid having empty sections while I write the article. I'll add them once I start writing those sections. If you have any suggestions, feel free to bring them up. I hope you'll stick around to get more familiar with Wikipedia; it'd be nice to see more winter storm / winter season editors.

 * maybe "MarioProtIV" could help contribute to your page he could add some useful information to the article --Anonymous Ryan (talk) 01:27, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * At one point, I actually asked MarioProtIV about helping with a different article, the 2016–17 North American winter article, but I sadly never received a response. Master of Time   ( talk ) 01:32, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Re: Draft:2008–09 North American winter
The parameter is being applied to every draft that uses Template:Draft article. If there are other drafts on this topic that uses the template it will be applied to them as well.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 01:21, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
