Your GA nomination of Hurricane Henri
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Hurricane Henri you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of LunaEatsTuna -- LunaEatsTuna (talk) 00:42, 22 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Maybe you could review mine next, Luna? Mostly joking but it would be nice if you did. I kinda just wanna get it over with as fast as possible so that I know what I need to work on a bit more if anything. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 00:47, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, !, I'm sure Luna will get to you sometime, I'm sure. :) Tails   Wx  01:12, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Hurricane Henri
The article Hurricane Henri you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Hurricane Henri and Talk:Hurricane Henri/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of LunaEatsTuna -- LunaEatsTuna (talk) 05:01, 22 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks again, ! I'll be sure to fix any issues you presented at the GA1. Tails   Wx  11:43, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I decided to just look through the feedback and I Saw Luna say this: ""Henri turned toward the north" – I think this should be "Henri turned towards the north" – ignore me if this is valid in American English though." I'm fairly sure both "toward" and "towards" are valid in American English. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 15:45, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hmm...alright. I had previously thought it wasn't valid, but, okay! Tails   Wx  15:51, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * "toward" tends to be pronounced as "towards" anyway in my experience. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 15:53, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

 * "Encouraged" past tense? You've done it already? Woah ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 13:47, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Nah–I only have been encouraged by my friends, but by SunDawn? This is the first time encouraging me! Tails   Wx  13:58, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I figured. I was making a joke at the fact that they used past tense instead of present tense. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 15:41, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Bad grammar on my part! :) &maltese; SunDawn &maltese;    (contact)   16:22, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Possible impersonation
Hello again Tails. While monitoring recent changes, I noticed this account (User:TaiIs Wx). Is this your doppelganger account or not?‎ <span style="font-family: Opensans, sans-serif;">Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:07, 22 February 2023 (UTC)


 * ... and its been blocked literally while I was typing this. <span style="font-family: Opensans, sans-serif;">Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:07, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Requested they be locked. This guy sure is sus. Feel free to trout me for saying that  ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b>Talk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 16:10, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * If a user appears and is impersonating a long-time contributor, immediately report them. If they truly aren't an impersonator then the main account can request it be unblocked. ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b>Talk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 16:13, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I was thrown off by their editing. The impostor copied Tails' signature exactly on their talk page so it made me hesitate. I guess I didn't connect the dots as fast as HJ. As for the Among Us reference, I thought I had escaped them last year! Pardon my "venting". <span style="font-family: Opensans, sans-serif;">Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:16, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Ya that's definitely a sign of a fake account. If I were to ever make a custom signature for my alt I would probably make it like inverted colors from my main account's one or just different entirely. ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b>Talk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 16:20, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * On that subject, I've been considering making a doppelganger account so I don't have to worry about people using "Schminte" as a name. Might be something to look into... <span style="font-family: Opensans, sans-serif;">Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:22, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Hey! ,, thanks for spotting and requesting a global lock. While this was happening, I was playing Chess, so I was unaware of this fake account created, and this is not my doppelganger, my alternate accounts are subsequently stated on my userpage. Thanks, for the block as well! Didn't know I had a fake account after me :) Tails   Wx  16:24, 22 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Chess!? How dare you play chess instead of edit Wikipedia! ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b>Talk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 16:27, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I worked too hard last night and early today, so I decided to have a break and play Chess ;) Never would I realize I would have a fake account after me, but now, I'm working on creating a video on Adobe Premiere Pro, but I'll be multitasking to make sure I'm not caught off-guard! Tails   Wx  16:30, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Nice to see another chess fan around. I play chess puzzles in my spare time (sometimes it seeps into my Wikipedia editing). <span style="font-family: Opensans, sans-serif;">Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:33, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * It seems like everyone has an impersonator now, TheManInTheBlackHat included! Wonder when mine will crop up. <span style="font-family: Opensans, sans-serif;">Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:31, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

 * I'm not super familiar with how getting banned from Wikipedia works, but aren't you IP banned if you do something like this? How are they making more accounts so fast (if this is one person)? <span style="font-family:Roboto Mono,Droid Sans Mono,Courier New; text-shadow:1px 1px 10px cyan, 1px 1px 10px #ccc;">TheManInTheBlackHat  (Talk)  16:41, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Annoyingly, yes. Just report impostors to AIV as soon as you see them. Any admin should be able to figure it out. I wouldn't worry about it. I've had loads over the years (and I have a legit doppleganger to prevent that name being taken). <b style="color: teal; font-family: Tahoma">HJ Mitchell</b> &#124; <span style="color: navy; font-family: Times New Roman" title="(Talk page)">Penny for your thoughts? 16:52, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm on such high alert right now due to the various LTAs and vandals that have popped up today that I almost reported your actual alt (Tails Wx9) as impersonating you lol ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b>Talk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 16:48, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hey–that one and Tails Wx1 are my alternate accounts, and I usually need them for tests and editing my userpage. Hehehe ;) Tails   Wx  16:51, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree that the level of impersonation is getting quite worrying. It might be the case that the events are connected somehow, I just can't think how. <span style="font-family: Opensans, sans-serif;">Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:50, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * There is the chance that Tails' fake account might be a globally locked user's sock based on one of the talk pages they edited but who knows. ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b>Talk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 17:04, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Opal 1964 draft
I fixed most of the unorganized things; however, I can't find anything about its 10-minute winds. Sahapamowe  ( talk! ) 21:51, 26 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey, ! It’s totally fine! Adding it with a source would be worse since it would be unsourced. I’ve placed a request for it to be moved to mainspace, it’s because I’m having trouble accepting the AFC draft because a redirect exists. Very soon, the draft should be moved to mainspace. Congratulations on your successful AFC draft submission! Tails   Wx  23:50, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Teahouse
Hey Tails! I saw that you replied to a non-english post on the Teahouse. However what you replied to was a severe personal attack. In the future, if you see something on the Teahouse or help desk that isn't in English, I would recommend throwing it into GOogle Translate first so you can try and figure out what they're asking and then either remove it (if it's a personal attack) or replying to them in the same language with Google Translate. ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b>Talk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 20:51, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hey there! Yes, I admit it was my fault for not double-checking on Google Translate before responding to the non-English post. There's also User talk:Melecie, whom I also talked to another editor prior. I guess I'll follow both of your advice. Thanks! Tails   Wx  21:00, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

GOCE drives
Hi Tails! I've been interested in the GOCE drives for a while now but always seem to miss them. I saw a notification on my watchlist and am thinking of joining. As I saw and recognised your name I thought I'd ask you a question. In your opinion, is there anything I need to know before signing up? <span style="font-family: Opensans, sans-serif;">Schminnte (talk • contribs) 20:20, 1 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey, ! There really isn't much I can say, when I first joined drives, I just went for it! You can also follow me and go for it as well! Though the request pages are much difficult, because it does state that Because of the nature of our project, members who copy edit articles listed on our Requests page should have a high level of skill with English spelling, grammar and punctuation. But if you do have a high level of skill, again, go for it! And plus, you can help by improving the backlog as well. If you are new to copy-editing, you can check out WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors! Tails   Wx  21:28, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * So are you are saying that I should probably stick to articles tagged with as they will be easier? Also, has the drive started already? Sorry about so many questions. <span style="font-family: Opensans, sans-serif;">Schminnte (talk • contribs) 21:31, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Nah–you can do that, but you can also join the drive as well, whenever you like! And, yes, the drive has started, there is no deadline for entering the drive! And no worries about a lot of questions–I've already got used to answering tons of questions! ;) Tails   Wx  21:34, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok then. Last question. Do articles with the tag count to the total or does it have to be copyedit requests? <span style="font-family: Opensans, sans-serif;">Schminnte (talk • contribs) 21:47, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Both! Tails   Wx  21:48, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Ok then. I'll join now; thanks for the help. <span style="font-family: Opensans, sans-serif;">Schminnte (talk • contribs) 21:53, 1 March 2023 (UTC)


 * No problem! Good luck on the drive! Tails   Wx  21:54, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 March newsletter
So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:


 * Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
 * Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
 * 🇩🇪 FrB.TG was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
 * 🇺🇸 TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
 * Iazyges was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included LunaEatsTuna,  Thebiguglyalien,  Sammi Brie,  Trainsandotherthings,  🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski, 🇮🇩 Juxlos,  Unexpectedlydian,  SounderBruce, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Kosack,  BennyOnTheLoose and  PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

New page reviewer granted
Hi Tails Wx. Your account has been added to the " " user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember: The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. <b style="color: teal; font-family: Tahoma">HJ Mitchell</b> &#124; <span style="color: navy; font-family: Times New Roman" title="(Talk page)">Penny for your thoughts? 14:13, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging  pages for  maintenance so  that  they are aware.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
 * If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.


 * Thanks! I'll use the permissions carefully, and will follow the advice given above! Tails   Wx  14:16, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Storm chaser
I honestly never knew you were a stormchaser. IT should've been obvious but I think that's pretty cool. I'm curious, in your time storm chasing, what states have you spent the most time in? ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b>Talk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 17:27, 8 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Just Indiana, including Monroe, Owen, Morgan, Greene, and Marion. Tails   Wx  17:32, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Huh, neat! Maybe you should come out to Nebraska sometime, the weather tends to do whatever the heck it want to here (or at least, that's often what it feels like). Might even see a few tornadoes ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b>Talk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 17:34, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I wish, but 1) I don't think I have the experience to go out there just yet, which is why it states "locally"... 2), I'm busy IRL, and 3)...I'll DM you the details later. Whenever I don't chase, however, that's when the job of being a weather analyst comes in! Tails   Wx  17:49, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, although Nebraska is mostly just grass and rolling hills... as well as a bunch of fields with the occasional herd of cows. Really pretty though. ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b>Talk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 17:58, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Nebraska's gotten some tornadoes, though in recent years it looks like the southern United States have gotten more tornadoes in the past decade, such as Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. It's all because of the Gulf Coast moisture...this contributes to the formation of severe thunderstorms! Tails   Wx  18:02, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes that is true (heck we haven't actually gotten a tornado warning accompanied with tornado sirens in years), which is a little weird considering we're in Tornado alley, tho we do often get severe thunderstorms. ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b>Talk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 18:32, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yep! Tornado Alley still has tornadoes and warnings, but it's shifting more to the east as time progresses, most likely due to lack of moisture and climate change. We in the Ohio Valley don't get too much thunderstorms, though they do often happen! It's most likely that a tornado outbreak will happen in Tornado Alley throughout the spring!

 * So basketball is another one of the sports that you don't like in addition to American Football? Oh, come on! I understand that it is your opinion, though! Tails   Wx  19:15, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't really like sports in general outside of esports. ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b>Talk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 19:16, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Userbox for Moops' legacy
Hi Tails! I'm thinking of creating a userbox to remember Moops's legacy because of the user's hard work defending Wikipedia against vandalism. What do you think? Layah50♪ (  話して～!  ) 01:05, 10 March 2023 (UTC)


 * I don't think this is a good idea at all. It would be a massive violation of WP:DENY. Yes they did good work, however they were a sockpuppet. ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b>Talk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 01:07, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * We should NOT be memorializing socks as that will just give them motivation to sock some more. ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b>Talk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 01:07, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you're right, sorry.. I'm discarding the idea. Layah50♪  (  話して～!  ) 01:10, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * , that was the EXACT SAME THING I was going to say! And hey, ! As Blaze Wolf mentioned above, I don't think it would be a good idea, because it would just violate DENY and even troll food might apply as well! Tails   Wx  01:10, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, sorry ;(, withdrawing the plan. Layah50♪  (  話して～!  ) 01:15, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * It's fine! At least you learned something new today! ;) Tails   Wx  01:17, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * <(^_-) Layah50♪  (  話して～!  ) 02:17, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, I learned something new as well–a new emoticon! Tails   Wx  03:08, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * (giggles) Layah50♪  (  話して～!  ) 03:21, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I mean, I do learn something new every day, but it might apply to you as well! :) Tails   Wx  04:02, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * If Moops were a user that had died, then it would be a great idea. However being a sockpuppet it would most likely get deleted as encouraging trolls. ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b>Talk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 01:20, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Not sure if the deceased user's family and friends would approve the idea, though... Tails   Wx  01:22, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I doubt the socking would stop, as there are more suspicious users...though I would not name them as it would be just a potential false accusation and nobody would be willing to put on their CU goggles as we don't have sufficient evidence to suspect a sock!
