Re: Need major help
Sorry, but I have quite a few of my own projects that I am working on. The best way to finish a long project is to focus on one individual part of the project that is interesting. Then, go to a related part that's just as interesting. Before long, it'll get done. You'd probably have more time and patience for it if that was the only article you were working on.

2006 AHS map
There's two versions of Image:2006 Atlantic hurricane season map.png, one local copy on en-wikipedia (which is outdated, and up for deletion) and one on commons (which is correct, and of a larger resolution compared to the .gif file). When the local copy is deleted, the correct map will display. Hope that clears up any questions. – Chacor 14:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:6304575084.01._AA280_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:6304575084.01._AA280_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as or , you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Core desat  06:24, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Uh, would you repeat that again. By looking at your comments above, i have no idea what youre trying to explain to me. Storm05 13:56, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Each fair use media uploaded has to have significant rationale explaining why you think the image meets our criteria for fair use, so that admins can keep track of the image and see if it's being used incorrectly. Note that the images could be deleted, so I'd advise you to read more extensively into rationales for FU media before uploading any more fair use images. As an aside, fair use images shouldn't be used in galleries. – Chacor 13:59, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Just a note that your Fairuse rationales are very weak, and generally such rationales aren't enough. You'll note that the template warning says that you need a specific rationale for its inclusion on Wikipedia; it has to be detailled. As an aside, could I again ask you to please upload images under clearer names? – Chacor 14:14, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * How specific?, what more is needed to justify the rationale? Storm05 14:15, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not an expert at images, unfortunately. You'll be better off asking Nilfanion for help with FU rationales. – Chacor 14:16, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I screwed up here - I should have tagged them improper rationale and not no rationale. However, the images should still not be there. Only one image is needed for the article (Image:1275 xl.jpg) - fair use images cannot be used in galleries of any size on articles (see WP:FU for more info). --Core desat  22:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Inline citations
Oh, another reminder, while I'm here. When working on your articles, could your inline citations please go at the right places? For example, Cyclone Heta used to have citations all at the end of paragraphs. They should come immediately after the fact they are being cited for. – Chacor 14:24, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: User:Storm05/Hurricane Dora (1999)
I've performed a bit of trickery on the article in main space and your subpage. See my comment on my talk page for more info. As it currently stands I think it needs more work before it can stand as an article, what I have done removes the need for future admin assistance.--Nilfanion (talk) 02:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:CNUfire.JPG)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Image:MichealAddisonmugst.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:MichealAddisonmugst.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

 * This image has been deleted, as it is clearly replaceable. A free image could be manipulated to remove the context, if a bare background image is important.--Nilfanion (talk) 23:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * We cant manipulate police mugshots becuase that would be copyright violation and all images of Micheal Addison are from the press or police department and thus no free image exists. Storm05 12:11, 22 February 2007 (UTC)


 * What i meant that an internet search has foundzeroanything in the way of free images of micheal addison or officerMicheal Briggs. Also a search though picsearch and flickr turns up nothing i doubt any free pics will come out of this because the outside media appears to be loosing interest and since the majortiy of the images are from press agencies or the police department and the restrictions of people of taking photographs during the trial or just the fact that possbily no body will take any pictures of micheal addison at all. And since Micheal Briggs is desceased i think its valid that the pic should stay. The only free pics i can find are from the memorial service. And btw a search through wikimedia commons turns up nothing.Storm05 17:03, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Marilyn damage images
The images Image:Damageapts0995.JPG and Image:Stomas91695.JPG have incorrect licensing information because they weren't originally taken by NOAA or NOAA employees - they were provided to NOAA by the photographers in question. Since NOAA attributes the photographers ("courtesy of (photographer)"), they're not public domain. They're also not press photos, so we can't apply fair use to them, so they'll probably end up on IFD soon. Next time double-check to make sure the images are truly free (as in, NOAA doesn't credit someone else) before uploading them, or else they may also be deleted. --Core desat  22:44, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Cyclone Favio sandbox
Hey Storm05, I thought that I would point out the article on 2007 Mozambican flood. Cyclone Favio has no information on preparations (as you can see from the seasonal article), and any impact or aftermath would be closely related to the floods. Might I suggest that you add any information you have about Favio's aftermath to the floods article (where it needs more info), instead of creating an article for Favio which would be a WPTC stub? – Chacor 02:32, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I second this idea - the flood article needs more information, and all Favio is likely to have is storm history and a small amount of impact (too small to really justify a stubby article). --Core desat  02:33, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I oppose the idea, because the article only mentions Favio (and adding more will be too much resulting an article being created anyway and the Mozambician aritcle will just be a sub article of the impact section of the Favio) and favio's aftemat also includes wind and storm surge damage and was an occuring event before Favio and is an event that happens to have Favio and Favio also impacted Madagascar.Storm05 12:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

See the Cyclone Leon-Elinearticle for example. Storm05 12:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, fair enough, but can I then suggest that you ask someone to copyedit it before you move to the main-space? That way as soon as it hits mainspace it's presentable and close to (or even at) B-class, rather than showing visitors work which could be improved greatly. Granted, we already have many articles that could be improved greatly, but we have in the past had to clean up a lot of your work, so I'd just like to put out the suggestion that you might want to contact Hink, Nilf, Tito, Core or myself to copy-edit it before you put it out to mainspace. Or even better, why not do like Mitchazenia is doing, and ask someone in real-life to help you check it for mistakes? That would work too. Oh, and, just curious, if you don't mind saying, how old are you? Cheers, – Chacor 14:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

In the future, if you see someone else working on an article, it might be a good idea if you don't do the article.

Tropical Storm Keith (1988)
You have that listed as one of your sandboxes, but the request page says you don't plan on working on it. Given that, I am just letting you know I am now working on it. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 21:38, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Hermine (1998)
How come you're doing it again? You should've seen that Jake52 was planning on the article. You have dozens of articles you are planning on or under construction. Why couldn't you just let him do Hermine? That was just one of three articles he was planning, and he started it, as well. You did the same thing with Hurricane Bertha (1990). Is it just carelessness in not paying attention what others are doing, or do you just want to get the credit for the article? If it's the former, I can understand, and you should pay more attention to the page, which was created for that very purpose. If it's the latter, see WP:OWN and WP:DICK. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 19:51, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Can you PLEASE work on just ONE article at a time. And not whenever you finish one you add another to your to-do list. Your additions just mean more and more low-quality articles we have to improve, and it detracts from more important things like improving our core article. Please, just list one or two articles, and when they're done, work on improving them, and not start new ones. – Chacor 13:41, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but after seeing hink churn one article out after another at a rapid rate i could not hold back the resitance, i'll try to improve them. Now back to editing. Storm05 13:45, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but [no offence meant] Hink can write well. That's why he can do that. But you often make grammar and spelling errors [although, granted, not necessarily intentionally]. But that means you need to spend more time after you've published the article to clean it up and improve it. Can you see where I'm coming from? It's not impossible to churn out good articles. But they have to be exactly that - good. Thanks for understanding, and I hope you'll try to improve the two articles you've just finished. – Chacor 13:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, I only work on, at most, two articles at a time in sandbox. I keep them in sandbox until I feel they are of good quality, both SPAG-wise and content wise. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 14:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
