Hey CodingCyclone! Welcome to Wikipedia! I've noticed that you like to edit articles about Tropical cyclones. Have you ever considered joining WikiProject Tropical Cyclones?

Hi Destroyeraa! Yes, will join the project. Sorry it took a while to respond, I've been busy lately. CodingCyclone (talk) 03:34, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Unblock Request
Thank you! It means a lot. I am definitely not letting people near my wikipedia again, haha. CodingCyclone (talk) 04:54, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

(That was my sister. I created an account for her. I didn't know that she would try to vandalize. Sorry.) I am a known user, trying to learn all I can about this community. I was, at the time of block, trying to improve Hurricane Fran, and my past few edits were rolling back vandalism. I've made over 100 edits, and have been trying to be a good community member so that I can make Wikipedia a better place. Please unblock me. It would be very much appreciated. Thank you for your time. CodingCyclone (talk) 00:21, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Note: My 'reason' was actually untrue. User talk:Boxofbagsofcans was a sock. It was EXTREMELY dumb, and I won't do anything like that again. I'm sorry. CodingCyclone! 🌀 📘

Your user page
Hi CodingCyclone, I'm Primefac. You'll likely not be pleased about this but I have removed some of your edits because they reveal too much personally identifiable information about you. We have a policy of protecting editors' safety by hiding such information if they share it. I'm really sorry about having to suppress your edits, and I know it's annoying, but it's for the best. Please don't re-add the information. For some useful information on privacy and safety, you can take a look at Guidance for younger editors and On privacy, confidentiality and discretion. Thank you, and sorry for messing about with your edits! Primefac (talk) 22:47, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Rollback granted
I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3ACodingCyclone granted] the "rollbacker" permission to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback and Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. ~TNT (she/they • talk) 22:26, 17 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the rollback permission! I will use it well and within the guidelines. codingcyclone  please ping/my wreckage 22:28, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Review
Hello, I was wondering, would you be willing to review Cyclone Dumazile and see if there is anything that should be fixed in the article? I would appreciate it if you would be willing to look. Noah Talk 01:11, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

I suggest you follow your own advise and add the same template to your user page, unless there is a good reason not to do so. -- PBS (talk) 22:46, 13 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the note. I had those on my userpage before, but the user in question has retired. As such, I removed them as they're pretty much unneeded. CodingCyclone  please ping/my wreckage 01:06, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Table params
Hi, I see you undid my edits at List of retired Atlantic hurricane names and am wondering why. With the parameters set the way they are, the table appears comically wide on larger screens, to the point of inhibiting readability. WMSR (talk) 19:35, 23 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi there, that wasn't me. If you take a look at the page history, it was merely my revision being restored. The person who undid the edits was, so you may want to ask them. :) CodingCyclone  please ping/my wreckage 20:18, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Well, I pinged you into this case because I think you have involvement regarding FDO ANI case and ITN/R case, which has a lot of canvassing issues. I'm sorry that I should have told you earlier here, since I didn't appropriately ping you at that time.  Mario Jump  83!  11:21, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

No problem. I intended to remain uninvolved, but since you pinged me, I do feel it is necessary to give a statement considering my involvement in the ANI case. Purple Lights!  18:53, 28 March 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 02:36, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
