A Barnstar for you!

 * thank you so much! Also, for Effects of Hurricane Zeta in Maryland - I'm not sure if the impacts in Maryland is enough for an article, but if you think so, you might want to ask, an expert in the topic of Hurricane Zeta. Stay safe, Cyclone   Toby  20:29, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, will do! Enjoy the barnstar! 🌀 ❡ €€ ϰ  🌀{talk ⋅ contribs}} 20:45, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Effects of Hurricane Zeta in Maryland probably would not meet the requirements for an article – as a storm would typically have to have caused $4-5 billion in damage and/or 10 deaths in a certain location – which Hurricane Zeta just doesn't meet in Maryland. Also, not that many reliable sources say much about the impacts in Maryland, so it might be difficult to make a good article with enough information. Also, given how short the main article is, especially the Maryland parts, there doesn't seem to be a need for it – usually we create a separate impacts article when too much information in a section is overflowing the article, and at that point we would create another article. So overall, I don't really think we need that article; maybe one about the effects in Louisiana, but even then that might not meet the requirements.

Note about unsubmitted AfC templates
I've seen a few of your userspace drafts come through a that I monitor as of late. You might find WP:DUD of interest; e.g. the only function having an unsubmitted AFC submission (which you're free to remove at any time of your own volition) on User:Cyclone Toby/Hurricanes in the Windward Islands serves is to allow your draft to be deleted if you do not finish it after an arbitrary period of time.

Hey Cyclone Toby, I’m sorry I haven’t been able to do much on your Chantal draft, since I’ve been busy editing my own draft for Hurricane Eta in Florida.

Archiving Advisories and Warnings
Hi Cyclone Toby, sorry to bother you but I came to ask you a question. Are you able to make archived copies of current advisories of tropical cyclones. Since I have noticed the only agency that cares to archive their advisories is the National Hurricane Center. If you are able to, would you please add them to this sandbox that I’m making. Im making this sandbox as a database for advisories on all non-National Hurricane Center issued advisories on tropical cyclones. Thanks!DachshundLover82 (talk) 17:06, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Hurricanes in the Leeward Islands (2000–present)
Hello, Cyclone Toby. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Hurricanes in the Leeward Islands (2000–present), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 02:01, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Hurricanes in the Leeward Islands (2000–present)


Hello, Cyclone Toby. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Hurricanes in the Leeward Islands".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 01:24, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

1933 hurricane
Regarding this edit, it appears the hurricane did strike the Bahamas, and according to the list of Cat 5 hurricanes, the hurricane struck the Bahamas as a Cat 5. Are you sure about your edit? The 06 UTC point on August 31st for that storm is 2 miles west of Mayaguana with winds of 160 mph, and the track suggests it struck the island, with the 00 UTC point on 8/31 being east-southeast of the island (and also at 160 mph). See the zoomable map here. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 21:56, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

I have once again tried to look up the impacts and regarding what you said, it does seem it may of made a landfall in Mayaguana, though if so, the Wikipedia article never mentions this. However, even if it did, I'm not sure if there are any sources. I haven't looked for newspapers so far, but I was worried that there was no impacts in the area. I will revert my edit until it is clear whether it did or did not make landfall. Stay safe,  Cyclone   Toby  15:06, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The Bahamas don't always have a great track record for reporting their damage, unless it was a particularly bad tragedy. I'm sure there's some more info out there. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:27, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors
Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.

We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. Noah Talk 03:39, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
