Confused
I didn't understand because of your recent two edits of 2021 North Indian Ocean cyclone season. One is this and another is this. Can you explain these? Bera niladri19  🌀🌀 13:37, 13 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello there. I did the first edit because the article had said there were no official seasonal bounds, but the second because I decided it was a bad idea to make the first edit. -Shift674-🌀contribs 13:40, 13 January 2021 (UTC)


 * There is no official boundary of North Indian Ocean, but if it starts to get active from April, then it can happen in April or May. Dam222 🌋 (talk) 14:50, 13 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I know that but the season haven't technically started because no system equals to not started. Bera  niladri19  🌀🌀 14:58, 13 January 2021 (UTC)


 * If no storms have formed in a season that has started, the season is still ongoing, but no storms would have formed yet. -Shift674-🌀contribs 15:03, 13 January 2021 (UTC)


 * As soon as the oceans are warm, so are the cyclones in the form, so it mostly starts in April because the North Indian Ocean is warm from April to November.If you see the last season article, you will probably know. Dam222 🌋 (talk) 15:14, 13 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Technically yes the cyclogenesis starts from the month of April or May and ends in November or December but it can form anytime, but my opinion is that since no storm is active or formed then you can't tell that the season has begun even though they don't have a official date unlike the North Atlantic and the East Pacific.

New
I am new here so can you help me try and make my OWN article? (It is just a article for me) — Preceding unsigned comment added by BCNY2011 (talk • contribs) 22:47, 14 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I’m sorry, but if the article is about yourself, I can’t help you with that. To have yourself in a Wikipedia article, you need to be notable, and have extensive news coverage talking about you (from what I’ve heard). -Shift674-🌀contribs 23:35, 14 January 2021 (UTC)


 * No... This is NOT a article about me, i want to make a test article, publish it, and when i find out, could make one. P.S. I changed my mind and possibly talk about the South Atlantic Hurricane Season. Why? Some storms form there. Also about the Mediterranean Tropical Storm (2020) BCNY2011 (talk) 22:11, 1 February 2021 (UTC)


 * I’m pretty sure the WPTC won’t allow that, as the south Atlantic and Mediterranean basins are not offical, and they already have articles discussing the basins. But, if you ever want to join the WikiProject, click here and add your name to the list. -Shift674-🌀contribs 23:58, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * You can also make test articles in your sandbox. -Shift674-🌀contribs 00:47, 2 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Ok, i will do later. (I am on my tablet right now lol) BCNY2011 (talk) 19:52, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Friend
Can we be Wiki friends?

also do you play Robloc — Preceding unsigned comment added by BCNY2011 (talk • contribs) 20:16, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I do play Roblox, and I have an account on there. Unfortunately, there isn’t a friend system on the Wikimedia projects. -Shift674-🌀contribs 20:19, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I’ll be able to email you my Roblox account once you set up an email address for your account. -Shift674-🌀contribs 20:27, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Unblock request
-Shift674-🌀contribs 20:38, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I ran a check - and I actually see you using that range, in addition to a lot of other blocked ranges. Are you using a VPN, or a proxy? As this is my block - I won't review it. SQL Query me!  21:11, 3 February 2021 (UTC)


 * I am unsure, as I do not know how to check, unfortunately. -Shift674-🌀contribs 21:14, 3 February 2021 (UTC)


 * I don’t think I’d be able to disable it on this device however, because the iPad the school gave me has a lot of restrictions that don’t allow a lot of freedom. -Shift674-🌀contribs 21:18, 3 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Update: editing on my phone now, issue resolved. -Shift674-🌀contribs 21:39, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

You think you can give another editor a hand?
made an edit on a talk page of an article that is up for speedy deletion. The content of the edit is two words: "help me". Since the corresponding article is likely to be deleted soon, you might not see the edit on your watchlist.

You and BCNY2011 seem to already have a rapport. Do you have time to help him? davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  02:05, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

3 things (Kinda trouted)
First, i honestly give up making articles, second of all, I WAS ACCEPTED FOR WPAC!!!!!

Third is pretty kinda secret,

A few days ago, i got a message that i made a edit on Arabic Wikipedia, witch i don't speak... — Preceding unsigned comment added by BCNY2011 (talk • contribs) 18:41, 5 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Don’t worry, making articles is hard. I myself have only made disambiguation pages, which by itself is work. (For the notice on the Arabic Wikipedia, you may have accidentally visited that website.) -Shift674-🌀contribs 15:42, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Page mover
Hi! I saw that you were trying to move The Frozen Times issue 3 to issue 2 by moving issue 2 somewhere else, but reverted yourself bc you didn't know how to not leave a redirect while moving a page. To answer your question, you need to have page mover rights; you can see information about that here: WP:PAGEMOVER. Anyway, thanks for trying to fix the problem!

Your signature
Hey, just saw that both the "-Shift" part of your signature and the "contribs" part link to your userpage. Did you intend for it to be that way or not? (It's fine if you did, just asking.) Hurricane   Covid  (contribs) 17:42, 1 March 2021 (UTC)


 * , thanks for noticing! I did not intend for this, the "contribs" was supposed to link to my contributions. -Shift674-🌀contribs 17:48, 1 March 2021 (UTC)


 * No problem. I once made a mistake with my "contribs" part of my signature as well. Until Cyclone Toby was nice enough to point it out, my signature read "Hurricane Covid (coNRibs)" lol. Hurricane   Covid  (contribs) 17:51, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

SPI cases
Please leave clerking SPI cases to SPI clerks. You got most of it right - we don't delete delete the original titles of SPI reports unless they're malicious attacks. Thanks for your understanding, Cabayi (talk) 11:26, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Good articles!
I don't know who has made these Cyclone articles, or who owns them, but they are good! I chose you because i chose a random person on there. Not trying to be rude.

Someone has hugged you!
 has hugged you! Hugs promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better (and hopefully wasn't meant as an invasion of personal space). Spread the WikiLove by hugging at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing! I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to your mother. :( She's in a better place now. You're going to be okay. I hope you emerge from your dark times soon. And remember that we're here for you. Take care. I wish you the best! —  Light and Dark2000  🌀 (talk) 20:43, 16 June 2021 (UTC) Hug others by adding {{subst:Hug}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

A kitten for you!
Oh my goodness, I am so sorry.Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. I know that it may be extremely difficult, and it may be for a long time, but eventually you will pull through. However, while she may be gone, she is still there in your heart and in your soul, and your mind, and she is watching over you too. (if you believe in that). Honor her life and her memory, do something that will really show your compassion and gratitude to all that she has done for you to help you throughout your life. Plant a tree in her name. Do something good to help others who are also experiencing the pain of loss as you are. I know how it feels. I lost someone close to me as well, and I know the pain. Once again, I am so very sorry for what happened, and if you ever need anything I am here to help. Peace.

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 03:39, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Updating Hurricane Faith article
Hiya Shift674! I saw your post about Hurricane Faith, and wanted to reach out to you on your user page. First, I wondered why you didn't think you would be able to update the article? You don't need a meteorology degree to write these things, and in fact, sometimes it's better to be written by someone who isn't an expert, to avoid using too much technical jargon. You are correct that the article needs to be updated a bit, so that's why I wanted to reach out to you directly, and get your thoughts first on what specifically needs to be updated. From there, I can assist you with the resources for how to do it.

Could I update it myself? Yes, absolutely, but I've already worked on the 1966 Atlantic hurricane season, back from 2012 to 2014. I saw that you've been editing Wikipedia for a little bit, so clearly you have a passion for weather, in addition to your passion for making sure that the internet has a decently comprehensive place to discuss said weather topic (or should I say... tropic!)

...

Well, hopefully you get this message. Feel free to write back here and tag me with, so I get a notification, or you can also reply on my talk page. Either way, hey, thanks for trying to make Wikipedia a better place, HMU if you want. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 22:12, 10 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey, thanks for reaching out! I feel slightly reassured about my ability to edit the article now, but one of the main reasons I'm holding off on it is schoolwork. I'm not the greatest at working on time, so I often find myself having to finish schoolwork when I get home. If I find time to edit the article, I'll probably need some help interpreting the HURDAT2 data that has recently come out. Once again, thanks for reaching out! I'll tell you if I am able to edit the article once again. -Shift674-🌀contribs 23:54, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I get that about school work. So the thing about updating an article is knowing how much you want/have to do. For Faith, you could rewrite the whole article to reflect the updates, but most of the history hasn't changed. It's mostly the ending. So when/if you do tackle it, I would suggest focusing on the ending first, that is, the extratropical transition. Above all though, make sure you focus on your school work and not just Wiki 😜 Hope all is well. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 15:04, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
