Current storm infobox
What are we using right now for current storm information if we don't have the infobox? Chess Eric  19:35, 19 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Current storm information isnt allowed to be included period is the gist of what was said. This would include the current infobox, text, and watches/warnings templates. It violates WP:NOTNEWS and MOS:CURRENT. Noah, BSBATalk 19:38, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * When was that decision made? Chess  Eric  19:53, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Yesterday at AN/I. Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. I opened the discussion over an external link issue and as non-weather editors looked at it, they all started pointing out how the "current" section for tropical articles violated NOTNEWS and such. Basically, a discussion for a minor-level debate (using external links over formatted citations) evolved into a removal of current/ongoing storm info once non-weather editors were involved.

 * Gosh dang it. Leave it to non-weather editors to pull this crap. They must have forgotten that we also have a current events template or they want to get rid of that too. Chess  Eric  20:04, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Bret (2023)
This article: Draft:Tropical Storm Bret (2023) was declined by you and 2 other users, but I think it is certainly large and notable enough to warrant an article. It has over 20,000 bytes and almost 50 references with impacts from Aruba and Venezuela listed. With the things founds, the season article would not really be able to accurately give all information about this system. I went to the help desk, and they said to speak with someone who reviewed the article, so I came to you.

 * The issue at that time was that the draft was a persistent target of sockpuppetry. The default stance is to decline the draft when the one submitting it is a sockpuppet IP/editor. I dont see why an earnest review cant take place now, but I don't have the authority to do that or move the page over the redirect. Noah, BSBATalk 18:58, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I see. That is a fair policy that I was unaware of. There is also no resubmit button now, though.

List of F5 and EF5 tornadoes Improvement Time!
Hello there! I am sending this alert to all members of the WikiProject Weather and editors who have recently edited in the realm of tornadoes.

There is a large and important discussion ongoing, with the goal to completely overhaul and improve the List of F5 and EF5 tornadoes. The previous improvement attempt back in 2022/2023 gained almost no participation. This alert is being sent out so these discussions hopefully gain a reasonably-sized participation, so the F5/EF5 tornado article, one of the most viewed weather-related articles on Wikipedia, can be improved for all readers!

If you wish to participate, please visit: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather/Possible F5/EF5/IF5 tornadoes. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 16:15, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
