Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2010–11 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Moroni. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

WikiCup 2016 is just around the corner...
Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.

After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine (User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason (User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew (User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.

We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.

The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), Figureskatingfan (talk), and Godot13 (talk).--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:46, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Re: Your GA nomination of 1933 Florida–Mexico hurricane
I've added in the David Roth source, as you suggested. Since there were conflicting sources about the Texas totals (one suggested $3 million, the Texas Hurricane History $1.75 million, and the Monthly Weather Review just $500,000), I harmonized a bit and went with "between $2–$3 million" in the introduction to the Impact section, as the MWR total seemed low and probably preliminary, considering the damage done. I'm not sure how to make the storm infobox reflect that, though. Perhaps you could help. (Also, I've noticed that you only rounded one wind speed and not others elsewhere in the article. How does that work for GA or FA status?) I would like to thank you so much for the barnstar; you and others, especially Cyclonebiskit and 12george1, have consistently produced well-written articles and have willingly collaborated with others who have also sacrificed time and effort to do so. CapeVerdeWave (talk) 20:43, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, but there are some parts that you didn't round, such as this from the Meteorological History: "A barometer on Saba measured 29.02 inHg (983 mb), implying maximum sustained winds of 85 mph (137 km/h);[8]". How do I know when to round or not? Does it depend on whether the HURDAT value needs to be rounded? Also, there's this: "At 12:00 UTC on July 24, HURDAT initialized a tropical depression some 430 miles (692 km) east of Saint Lucia in the Windward Islands.[5]" Does the km value need to be rounded too? CapeVerdeWave (talk) 20:58, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Always glad to lend a helping hand~ In regards to the rounded values, all distances and wind speeds listed in or derived from HURDAT should be rounded to the nearest 5 as that's the resolution the database is meant to provide. Pressures should be to the nearest millibar and nearest hundredth of an inch of Mercury unless an explicit value of millibars in the tenths is provided. Observed wind speeds, such as the 84 mph observed in the Bahamas, are converted normally since they're not rounded in the first place. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 21:07, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I have one more question for either Hurricanehink or Cyclonebiskit: I was reading one of my sources, an article written by a local staff writer in the Palm Beach Post, that mentioned winds in Stuart peaking "between 2 and 3 p.m." In the section describing the Florida impact, I wrote in the first paragraph: "The winds, which peaked between 19:00–20:00 UTC on July 30, downed several telegraph poles and destroyed a structure at Stuart, but otherwise little damage resulted.[34]" However, I wasn't sure whether the times listed in the newspaper article were in local time (which would have been EDT in 1933) or EST, following the standard procedure of the Weather Bureau in Washington, D.C. (as in its official publication at the time, the Monthly Weather Review). Thus, I wasn't sure whether the times were 18:00–19:00 UTC or 19:00–20:00 UTC. Can anyone offer some general guidance on how to deal with such cases when reading newspaper articles giving times? CapeVerdeWave (talk) 02:00, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Since it's in a newspaper I think it's safe to assume EDT. Newspapers almost always use the local time so applying the standards of the MWR wouldn't make sense. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 18:33, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Glad you both worked that all out. I was busy with Christmas related things, but Cyclonebiskit is right about rounding and the winds. As for times, I tend to avoid exact times unless it's necessary. How much does it add to a reader that they peaked in the afternoon as opposed to the morning? ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:54, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Question about Talk:1948 Atlantic hurricane season/GA1
Hi Hurricanehink-

While reviewing the submissions for the WikiCup, I noticed that your (very detailed) GAR ended with a comment about putting the review on hold, yet the article has been promoted to GA. Did you promote the article? Was it promoted in error or by someone else? Thanks.--Godot13 (talk) 23:40, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Hurricanehink- Two of your submissions are being removed from the scoreboard: Talk:Cyclone_Ilona/GA1 - Too short Template:Did_you_know_nominations/1995_India_cyclone - GA promotion is not eligible for points

If you have any questions please let me know.--Godot13 (talk) 01:28, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Review some old Hurricane/storm FAs?
Hi. Would you like to help review some old FAs to check if they are still good enough for Main Page? Please check out User:Dweller/Featured Articles that haven't been on Main Page - the TFA delegates are using the page to help make sure the slots are filled with quality articles.
