Thank you for the kind welcome message Destroyeraa. I'll definitely reach out if I have any questions or need any assistance. I will also take a look at the links you've posted. Thanks again. Hurricane21 (talk) 02:43, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I just want to thank you for updating the fatalities count for Hurricane Laura. Good job. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 00:53, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * No problem, 3 years ago I didn't know much about Hurricanes but after Hurricanes Harvey and Irma I've been hooked on them. I'm now pretty much a Hurricane junkie lol.  I'm very new on wikipedia and have never edited any articles before so I'm starting small for now and only updating the main stats and info. Hurricane21 (talk) 01:06, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Unit Rounding
I saw your recent edits to 2020 Atlantic hurricane season. To clear up a point of confusion, wind speeds for tropical cyclones are initially reported in knots and then rounded to the nearest mph and kmh, which is why the rounding of units is not always consistent. In the latest update for example, the reported wind speed for Hurricane Laura is 80 knots. TornadoLGS (talk) 03:13, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation, makes sense. Hurricane21 (talk) 03:31, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Bertha Damage
I think it would be better to post your question on Cyclonebiskit's talk page or the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season talk page rather than on my talk page. IosifDzhugashvilli (talk) 04:12, 15 September 2020 (UTC)


 * You do bring up a valid point though. Damage totals should ideally be consistent across the article. IosifDzhugashvilli (talk) 04:22, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok I will post any further responses on his talk page.Hurricane21 (talk) 04:25, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Sally and others
Hi there Hurricane21! Is the AON report out yet? It's October already. Thanks. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 16:07, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, I don't know, I did a quick google search for it and couldn't find anything, where do they post it? Hurricane21 (talk) 17:43, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't know. Ask - he's very good at resources. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 20:08, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * They don't publish until about a week into the month. Noah Talk 21:11, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Delta
What do you think about this landslide and it's associated deaths? It was located in Guatemala, not far from Delta. However, the source doesn't attribute it to the hurricane... ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 19:15, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * It doesn't seem to be Delta related. The source you posted doesn't say anything about it being related to Delta.  I did my own search for other sources and didn't find any that mentioned Delta as a probable cause either.  This source here:  says: "The landslide could be caused by the country's rainy season, which runs from May to October and which has caused 17 deaths so far this year from various causes, in addition to 1.4 million people affected throughout the country during those months." Hurricane21 (talk) 19:27, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks! And also the AON report comes out soon - usually before October 10. You should be able to find it here. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 19:48, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Great job updating the AON reports! AON agrees with the $5 billion for Sally, I see. I was really anticipating this update from AON, especially for Beta, Teddy, Sally, and Nana. Looks like it also updated Marco too. Good job. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 17:46, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and no problem. It's also worthy to note that they updated Laura's damage from 10.1 to 14.1 billion dollars. Hurricane21 (talk) 17:54, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Which is IMO more accurate, since Florence and Michael both caused damages in the $20 million range, and Laura probably caused around the same amount of damage. Also, does it say on the AON report that Paulette and Teddy caused $2 million? ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 18:53, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * No but it says "millions". I didn't know how else to write that.  I didn't think "millions" would be low enough for us to write "Minimal" and since they didn't give any specific ranges I simply put the lowest number that could fit that description.  What do you think? By the way in your previous comment I think you meant "$20 billion" not "$20 million". Hurricane21 (talk) 18:56, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * We'll probably get a better estimate of damages for the next AON report. For now, I think putting ≥ $1 million would make more sense, since it says "millions." And yep, I mean $20 billion. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 19:03, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Well since "millions" is plural it is indicating that it is more than 1 so the minimum number that would match the description is 2. Anyways it's really not a big deal, as you said we'll update these numbers later.  Let's just keep it the way it is for now. Hurricane21 (talk) 19:08, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * let's ask on the season talk page, since others can put in their two cents. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 19:12, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, go ahead. Hurricane21 (talk) 19:20, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * You signed with a date? LOL. 19:16, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I wasn't trying to, I don't know how that happened? There I fixed it. Hurricane21 (talk) 19:19, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * If you do, then it shows up as 19:33, 8 October 2020 (UTC). ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 19:33, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

November 2020
Your recent editing history at Hurricane Eta shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * Hello and thanks for the tips, I will keep this in mind for the future however just to clarify the situation I was not changing content back to "how I thought it should be", rather I was reverting a clearly incorrect information that was being added to the article. The user "Nioni1234" had misread an article's title and as a result was including incorrect information to the page and starting to edit other parts of the page based on this incorrect information. I wanted to correct the mistake as soon as possible because not doing so would have meant the spread of that incorrect information to other parts of the article as well as to other related pages, which would have then made it much more difficult and time consuming to eventually correct the information once the dispute was resolved. Also for the record I only made two reversions, I gave detailed and specific reasons for each reversion, and I also invited the other user to discuss the issue on a talk page before making any further reversions. The other use seems to have been satisfied with my explanation after the second reversion and the dispute was resolved.  Hurricane21 (talk) 21:03, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
