Hi LightandDark2000, is this your account or a strange coincident? They just started editing today. S0091 (talk) 17:59, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I think it's an LTA trying to impersonate my username (I've had that happen multiple times before). Though it could be a simple coincidence (I find that rather unlikely, though). If this guy does that again, I'm gonna crack down on him, and he's going to live to regret it. >:D  Light and Dark2000  🌀 (talk) 13:53, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Some bubble tea for you!

 * Aw, thanks! I'm happy to know that you appreciate my work here. I do try to help out wherever I can.  Light and Dark2000  🌀 (talk) 15:34, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Just one question
Is Cyclone Bulbul is part of Severe Tropical Storm Matmo or not ? Bera niladri19  🌀🌀 13:20, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * They are definitely the same storm. The JTWC and other US agencies tracked them as the same storm, and the IMD noted that the storms were related. Even other media outlets used both the names "Matmo" and "Bulbul" for the storm.  Light and Dark2000  🌀 (talk) 18:44, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Your OP piece
Hello, hope all is well. I just wanted to let you know that you had an OP piece scheduled for the 48th edition of the Hurricane Herald, but you haven't added anything to it, and the newsletter itself is scheduled to come out on July 4. If you want, I can do something with it and make a quick OP piece myself to fill the space. Thanks. Sorry for not letting you know sooner, but have not been very active for a few days. 🌀CycloneFootball71🏈 |sandbox 21:12, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I'll do it. I'm actually going to push back the publication date a week, to give our editors more time to work on the newsletter, and also so I can fit Elsa's history into the newsletter.  Light and Dark2000  🌀 (talk) 21:13, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh okay, sounds like a plan, glad that everything was cleared up. Again, apologies for not letting you know sooner. Stay safe. Thanks- 🌀CycloneFootball71🏈 |sandbox 21:24, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Undoing your move on Typhoon Noru
I'm sure this wasn't your intention, but when you reverted Kritphon's edits you undid their self-revert, meaning you moved it back to Typhoon Noru (Disambiguation). I've gone ahead and reverted your move as I assume you intended to undo Kritphon's edits but was unaware they already undid it themselves. Please let me know ASAP if this wasn't the case as I don't want to be in a movewar. Chess (talk) (please use&#32; on reply) 05:13, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah. I had assumed that the erroneous page move was still live. Thanks.  Light and Dark2000  🌀 (talk) 05:15, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Your comment on my edit of the Hurricane Elsa article
I'm not sure if your comment was directed at me or not, but you can see from my edit differences that I did not delete the image from the infobox nor did I remove any references. I replaced a reference that was no longer valid with one that was, which didn't affect anything else. Furthermore, if you check the source (by pressing edit on the revision and using the source editor) of the article revision before my edit, the one from 22:32 July 8th 2021, you will see that those exact same issues were present on that prior revision before I even touched it. I'm leaving this comment to correct the record in the event your comment was directed toward me, which is the way it is perceived in the edit order and also the way I interpreted it. No hard feelings regardless of whether it was or wasn't. Everyone makes mistakes, but in this case they weren't mine.

PS: You have a typo in your guidelines. Ctrl+F "will will". WiggleCat (talk) 04:30, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It was actually directly at a buddy of mine (Destroyeraa). He's a decent editor, but he screws up every now and then. :P I think he'll be able to tell. If I was addressing a message towards you, I'd probably have pinged you or left a message on your talk page.  Light and Dark2000  🌀 (talk) 04:32, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I figured it wasn't directed toward me but had to make sure because I glanced over a few prior revisions and couldn't find the culprit. No biggie. To clarify though, by "guidelines" in my previous comment I mean your page notice. There's a typo in there that you'll be able to locate by searching "will will". WiggleCat (talk) 04:39, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. Destroyer (Alternate account) 20:41, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

@codingcyclone sister i need help.to cyclone bulbul article because @LightandDark2000 brother edit the page but @Akbermamps brother revert the page but I'm a junior editor so plz help me Jupiter50 (talk) 11:52, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

This means that IMD only recognize that Bulbul formed from the remnants of Severe Tropical Storm Matmo. They are not the same storm. Kinda similar to Tropical storms Amanda and Cristobal situation Bera  niladri19  🌀🌀 05:28, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Your edit was reverted because, as per User:Akbermamps says "The RSMC for the Northern Indian Ocean (the IMD) does not refer to Bulbul as Matmo-Bulbul. They only mention Bulbul as having formed from the remnants of Matmo"
 * You can also view here, as i Have questioned to LightandDark2000 about Cyclone Bulbul Bera  niladri19  🌀🌀 05:34, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Even JTWC recognize the system as part of Matmo, just face it JTWC is unofficial and IMD is official Bera  niladri19  🌀🌀 05:36, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter whether or not the JTWC is "official", when it comes to the content in our articles (aside from the official values in the infobox). They are still a Government agency and a reliable source. We cannot ignore what our reliable sources are saying, so for Bulbul's article, it does have to include at least some of Matmo's meteorological history. Anyway, this isn't worth edit-warring over. Perhaps this merits another discussion in the future, but we cannot completely ignore what other agencies say about a storm.  Light and Dark2000  🌀 (talk) 20:20, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

I think a reasonable compromise for Bulbul's meteorological history can be somewhat like Bulbul originated from the remnants of Severe Tropical Storm Matmo, which formed on October 28. After making landfall on — at —, the system traversed Indochina before emerging into the Bay of Bengal on...  Akber mamps  08:51, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified.

Please remember to follow WP:DRAFTIFY in the future
Hey there. I recently came across your re-draftication of 1985 Bangladesh cyclone. I noticed it was accepted as a stub through the AfC process but you reverted that acceptance, stating that "Tropical cyclone stubs should not exist in the mainspace". You may not be aware of this, but there is no requirement for an article to not be a stub before being accepted at AfC. There is no exemption to this for tropical cyclone related articles as far as I am aware.

Also, please do not WP:MOVEWAR in the future. If someone accepts a draft at AfC and you disagree with the acceptance, take it up at their talk page and/or bring it to AfD. Re-draftifying in the manner you did is disruptive. Chess (talk) (please use&#32; on reply) 19:19, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I do not believe I violated WP:DRAFITFY in any way. As for the AfC process, I'm sure that involves another policy. Also, I disagree with the characterization of this as a move war. Moving a page to another title or back to its original location once is hardly an edit war (let alone a move war), and I don't think it became a move war until the original author tried carrying out a copy & paste move on their own, which violated both Wikipedia's Copyvio and page move policies.

recent change on article Oxidosqualene cyclase
Hello,

This is regarding the changes I made to the article Oxidosqualene cyclase that was reverted by you. The source comes from Uffe Ravnskov, a person who has rejected the scientific consensus that high level of LDL(low density lipoproteins) increase the risk of hearth attack, stroke and other disease, as mentioned in the lipid hypothesis article. He has also demonised statins, falsely claiming they cause cancer.

Hence I had removed that reference as the person has promoted misinformation related to the topic, and as I had described my changes, I didn't change any content.

I didn't consider reverting your edit as I don't want to engage in any kind of edit war. So please consider restoring my version.

Thank you!2409:4042:208E:DCE5:804A:43C4:49F5:B299 (talk) 19:19, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Note
"Cleaning up your mess. :P" I get that it was written in a playful manner, but some other users might not interpret it that way. Just be careful about it in the future. Destroyer (Alternate account) 19:27, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Eh?? I don't see how you can possibly misconstrue it, unless you have a poor understanding of English. The only other way it can be misinterpreted is if the guy who edited just before me thought I was referring to him, and that's unlikely, IMO.

Request to use your quote in my template
Hi! I liked the quote on your userpage "I am a light in the darkness. The convergence point of two opposing forces." and I was wondering if I could use it for one of my daily quotes? If that's alright, please let me know who I may attribute it to. Thanks! –– FormalDude  talk  09:36, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure, as long as you attribute the quote. It's based off of the slogan on the Sith Order's cloaks, but I modified it a bit for my own purposes.  Light and Dark2000  🌀 (talk) 14:23, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Wanda as a nor'easter
Hey LightandDark2000 can I upload a newer version of your image, because some people are probably going to complain about the lines in the image and and how the image isn't centered over the low pressure area, the file is called "Subtropical Storm Wanda as a nor'easter, on 10-27-2021.jpg". Cyclonetracker7586 (talk) 14:19, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * It's perfectly fine. Though honestly, the centering and lines aren't really that big of a deal, especially when you look at extratropical cyclones like these that were just gigantic.  Light and Dark2000  🌀 (talk) 18:18, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Deletion of article Kresling fold
Dear LightandDark2000,

I am the author of the article "Kresling fold". I have recently attempted to delete the article, but it was mistakenly categorized as "vandalism". The reasons for deletion are two-fold: 1) I have added a picture of my product (the Smokordian) which uses such a folding pattern, despite not having reliable press coverage or formal references, which constitutes a conflict of interest. 2) I have been contacted by Biruta Kresling (the name "Kresling" fold comes from her) to delete the page altogether, since she wishes not to be associated with the product, and is also not satisfied with the quality of my writing.

I was able to delete the article using db-author. I ask you please not to un-delete the article. Or if you do, to allow me to remove references to the product, which could constitute conflict of interest, as I am aware now.

Best regards -Huanggab — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huanggab (talk • contribs) 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't have the power to delete or undelete anything since I'm not an administrator. However, regardless of your reasons for deletion, blanking the page is not the proper way to deal with removing an article. Page-blanking can and is considered a form of vandalism, regardless of why it's done. The proper way to delete an article is to request deletion via AFD or by requesting a speedy deletion, which you did later on. And while the article has been deleted, please note in the future that Wikipedia has no obligation to remove or delete content just because the subject (or someone associated with the subject) of the said article wants the content removed. I would also advise you to read Wikipedia's policy on Conflicts of Interest concerning this issue. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your time here.

Vongfong
Hi there,

The redirect to the disambiguation page was deleted because the way had to be cleared for Vongfong's 2020 incarnation to be moved to the primary topic, in light of its retirement earlier this year. I don't know why the deleting admin didn't make the move—I was under the impression that such was SOP for G6 move deletions. -- Dylan 620 in public/on mobile (he/him · talk) 20:32, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, the page move was reverted, but the original redirect was never restored, which I restored myself. Please don't get the page moved again. It's not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, so Typhoon Vongfong (2020) doesn't warrant having the year dropped from its title. A number of WPTC and Weather users need to get the idea out of their heads that a retired storm means it must be given the main page, and non-retired storms can't get the main page. This is blatantly false, and a violation of WP policies. The only storms that should get the main page (no year in the title) are the primary topics. Please see Hurricane Gordon and Hurricane Sally for some other examples of this.  Light and Dark2000  🌀 (talk) 20:52, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Fair point about Gordon—I remember seeing that it had been moved to shed the (1994) qualifier, and fully agreeing with that decision. I consider Sally, for all its impact, to be more analogous to Hurricane Sam due to being the only Hurricane Sally. There have been quite a few instances—which I agree with—where a non-retired storm was given the primary topic; however, I had only observed this with the most notable incarnations of names which have not been retired (Hurricane Gert being another example). I do admit to having missed the RM discussion on Talk:Typhoon Vongfong (2020) in February (I only became active again within the last couple months). In my experience, the primary topic amongst homonymous storms has historically been considered whichever one was retired, although this is due to retired incarnations generally being the most severely impactful (I don't think anyone in their right mind would argue in favor of Hurricane Floyd (1987) being given the primary topic over Hurricane Floyd)—perhaps the Vongfong lack of renaming is indicative that the zeitgeist has shifted in the time since I was last active. -- Dylan 620 (he/him · talk · edits) 22:08, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
