Thanks again for the contributions to List of tornadoes in the April 25–28, 2011 tornado outbreak and to its parent article. I'm a little confused, though, because I don't know what source to check to verify the data you're changing. Can you perhaps include a reference? will be sufficient for starters, and if you want to re-use the same reference elsewhere in the article, just mention it by name:. -- ke4roh (talk) 01:43, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited List of tornadoes in the April 25–28, 2011 tornado outbreak, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Gymnasium and Oakwood (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Edits to Talk:April 25–28, 2011 tornado outbreak

 * "I did agree to it yesterday because everyone else had, but I never really thought the page should be moved."

What do you mean by this? Did you think that you were making things easier by going along with the crowd? Never stray from your honest opinion just because it might be unpopular. - Running On Brains (talk) 20:31, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Oklahoma Tornado
I am not going to participate in this revert war any longer. It is Wikiproject Severe Weather policy that if a tornado occurred after midnight but before 1200 UTC, it is counted as part of the previous day and not the new one. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 01:56, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Tornado totals
Before I start reverting edits, I wanted to get your standpoint on the difference in tornado totals across the board. Since the SPC is the final word on the number of tornadoes, the number they give is what we should be using, not the total we come up with by sifting through the NCDC data. By using a number different than them we are in effect synthesizing our own information. I do believe you read through the reports thoroughly enough to trust the numbers you come up with; however, with the sheer number of tornadoes, there's likely something being missed (such as county-crossing tornadoes) that is inflating the totals. If you do clearly find reason to have a higher number (which would take a lot of effort of recompiling reports into a place easily accessible to others) than you should email either Storm Prediction Center and National Climatic Data Center to have the discrepancy resolved. Occasionally there are mistakes in the data input, such as cases where operationally confirmed tornadoes are not entered into the database, where the local National Weather Service office should also be informed to have the details of that event input into the Storm Data server.

Best regards, Cyclonebiskit (talk) 18:22, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I would relay the information on the additional tornadoes to the SPC and see what they think about it (especially if the additional tornadoes are EF1 or higher). As for the May tornado, although it may have been confirmed by a trained spotter, the final say is by the NWS/SPC/NCDC so if they don't have it, we don't list it. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 22:25, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

April 2012 Outbreak Reversions
Hello, just wondering why you reverted some of my edits. I have noticed that the tornado table is outdated and newer information can be found on the NWS page. I do not fill in the blanks with information that I "pull out of the air" if you will. I DO put research into this subject before I edit, sometimes hours worth. The tornado table list was reverted back to the way I had it, but I left in the other edits you added not related to the table. Anyway if you have any concerns about this subject we can talk it over specifically.

Thanks

Oh and also, would you mind and slots in the tornado table for the unrated Dodge City forecast area tornadoes? I'll see if I can dig up some info. Sharkguy05 (talk) 02:13, 7 June 2012 (UTC)Sharkguy05

WP:Accessibility
Please remember that not everyone can see a colour and determine what that colour refers to especially people with Screen readers which is why we have the special symbols TS or whatever on the timelines. I dont like it much but it makes sense.Jason Rees (talk) 02:28, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I would personally argue that table needs to be chucked in the bin, since it is redundant to the table of contents above. However if we were to keep it i dont think it would allow us to meet the accessibility criteria as i understand them, since everything has to be accessible to all.Jason Rees (talk) 02:53, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * As for the messy timeline, try playing around with the barsetbreaks, im sure you could come up with a decent solution.Jason Rees (talk) 13:49, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

March 17 Cali tornado
The 3/17 CA tornado was only a reported event, not confirmed (both operationally and by the NCDC). If you read through the LSR summary, the source of the tornado report was "Broadcast Media", not the NWS. Therefore, it is not a confirmed event. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 03:15, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I get what you're trying to say but we can't research things ourselves per WP:OR. Since the NCDC and SPC have the final official say in this matter we have to take their word for it. If you have a concern that they missed a report, which is entirely possible, just send them and the respective NWS Office an email about it. But for now, we can't really include it as a confirmed tornado without breaching WP:OR Cyclonebiskit (talk) 11:35, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:2012 Aurora shooting are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

WikiCup 2012 August newsletter
The final is upon us! We are down to our final 8. A massive 573 was our lowest qualifying score; this is higher than the 150 points needed last year and the 430 needed in 2010. Even in 2009, when points were acquired for mainspace edit count in addition to audited content, 417 points secured a place. That leaves this year's WikiCup, by one measure at least, our most competitive ever. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
 * 1) once again finishes the round in first place, leading Pool B. Grapple X writes articles about television, and especially The X-Files and Millenium, with good articles making up the bulk of the score.
 * 2) led Pool A this round. Fourth-place finalist last year, Miyagawa writes on a variety of topics, and has reached the final primarily off the back of his massive number of did you knows.
 * 3) was second in Pool B. Ruby2010 writes primarily on television and film, and scores primarily from good articles.
 * 4) finished third in Pool B. Casliber is something of a WikiCup veteran, having finished sixth in 2011 and fourth in 2010. Casliber writes on the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. Over half of Casliber's points this round were bonus points from the high-importance articles he has worked on.
 * 5) came second in Pool A. Also writing on biology, especially marine biology, Cwmhiraeth received 390 points for one featured article (Bivalvia) and one good article (pelican), topping up with a large number of did you knows.
 * 6) was third in Pool A. Muboshgu writes primarily on baseball, and this round saw Muboshgu's first featured article, Derek Jeter, promoted on its fourth attempt at FAC.
 * 7) was fourth in Pool A. She writes on a variety of topics, including horses, but this round also saw the high-importance lettuce reach featured article status.
 * 8) is another WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist in 2009 and 2010. He writes mostly on mycology.

However, we must also say goodbye to the eight who did not make the final, having fallen at the last hurdle:, , , , , , and. We hope to see you all next year.

On the subject of next year, a discussion has been opened here. Come and have your say about the competition, and how you'd like it to run in the future. This brainstorming will go on for some time before more focused discussions/polls are opened. As ever, 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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2012 Pacific hurricane season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Southwest (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

WikiCup 2012 September newsletter


We're over half way through the final, and so it is less than a month until we know for certain our 2012 WikiCup champion. currently leads, followed by, and. However, we have no one resembling a breakaway leader, and so the competition is a long way from over. Next month's newsletter will feature a list of our winners (who are not necessarily only the finalists) and keep your eyes open for an article on the WikiCup in a future edition of The Signpost. The leaders are already on a par with last year's winners, but a long way from the huge scores seen in 2010. That said, a repeat of the competition from 2010 seems unlikely.

It is good to see that three-quarters of our finalists have already scored bonus points this round. This shows that, contrary to criticism that the WikiCup has received in the past, the competition does not merely incentivise the writing of trivial articles; instead, our top competitors are still spending their time contributing to high-importance articles, and bringing them to a high standard. This does a great service to the encyclopedia and its readers. Thank you, and good work!

The planning for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Some straw polls have been opened concerning the scoring, and you can now sign up for next year's competition. As ever, 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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Help wanted
Hello, there is a new article called 2012-13 United States winter storm season that is providing information about the new naming system that The Weather Channel is giving major winter storms. I would much appreciate help from you there. I understand that you might be only based around tropical cyclones, but the way that the page should look is expected to be similar to most hurricane articles. Stop by and comment on the talk page if you would like to help, thanks! STO12 (talk) 22:38, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Hurricane Sandy
Because we are not a news site and that "fact" needs a cite.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 18:55, 28 October 2012 (UTC)


 * So it's OK to act as a news site and paste bare URLs into an article? Can you point to the policy that states this please?  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 18:59, 28 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I've added a RfC on the talk page. Please do not restore the bare URLs until the matter is sorted. Thanks.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 19:03, 28 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I can't see the bit that states using bare URLs are OK. Can you point that out to me? I do see the text at the top that clearly states "This advice is not a formal Wikipedia policy or guideline", however WP:NOTNEWS is. The RfC has been raised. Thanks.

Frankenstorm
When we have an article that's getting as much attention as Sandy is right now, removing a section and just saying, "for the last time, if you think this should be included, discuss it on the talk page" isn't really helping the situation. Sure, we have a lot of non-project users editing the page, but that doesn't mean the burden of proof should be switched to them. If you have a problem with a section, as long as it's somewhat relevant and sourced, it's typically best to leave it there; then you can take the high road and take it to the talk page. But getting argumentative in edit summaries isn't helping anyone or the article. Inks.LWC (talk) 04:49, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Post-Tropical Cyclone
Shouldn't that be "Post-tropical storm", or "tropical storm"? Or simply "Sandy"? Apteva (talk) 23:08, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It is best to go by what the NHC says. In this case it is "Post-Tropical Cyclone Sandy". United States Man (talk) 23:12, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * That is geek speak though. For the article it should use terms that real people understand, and normal capitalization. "post-tropical cyclone" is not a part of the name, as most people would understand the name. Sandy is the name. Apteva (talk) 23:19, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Cyclone itself is geek speak. While hurricanes and cyclones are just two different names for the same type of storm, no one in the United States uses cyclone. Apteva (talk) 23:22, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * What does the H in NHC stand for? Apteva (talk) 23:23, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, that's not my fault. If you want it to be different then you need to contact the NHC. Unless the NHC refers to it differently then it needs to stay the same. United States Man (talk) 23:24, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you see "Post-Tropical Cyclone" anywhere in this article?. "Storm" does just fine for readers. Apteva (talk) 23:34, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you realize that you just gave a link to an unofficial source. As I have already said, whatever the NHC goes by is what we will go by. United States Man (talk) 23:39, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Yes. WP prefers secondary, not primary sources. Apteva (talk) 00:16, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * This is one of those cases in which WP:IAR may apply. If we relied on news media for updates then these hurricane articles would be quite a mess. United States Man (talk) 00:19, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

By the way, can you keep tabs on the fatalities? This edit added to the U.S. total with no reference, and did not correct the total, and the total did not agree with the sum even before this I think. Apteva (talk) 00:22, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I will stick to updating the infobox for now. Too much edit conflicting for me. United States Man (talk) 00:26, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 October newsletter
The 2012 WikiCup has come to a close; congratulations to, our 2012 champion! Cwmhiraeth joins our exclusive club of previous winners: (2007),  (2008),  (2009),  (2010) and  (2011). Our final standings were as follows:



Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.


 * The featured article award goes to, for four featured articles in the final round.
 * The good article award also goes to, for 19 good articles in the second round.
 * The list award goes to, for three featured lists in the final round.
 * The topic award goes to, for three good topics (with around 40 articles) in round 4.
 * The did you know award goes to, for well over 100 DYKs in the final round.
 * The news award goes to, for 10 in the news items in round 3.
 * The picture award goes to, for two featured pictures in round 2.
 * The reviewer award goes to both (14 reviews in round 1) and  (14 reviews in round 3).
 * Finally, for achieving an incredible bonus point total in the final round, and for bringing the top-importance article frog to featured status, a biostar has been awarded to.

Awards will be handed out in the coming days; please bear with us! This year's competition also saw fantastic contributions in all rounds, from newer Wikipedians contributing their first good or featured articles, right up to highly experienced Wikipedians chasing high scores and contributing to topics outside of their usual comfort zones. It would be impossible to name all of the participants who have achieved things to be proud of, but well done to all of you, and thanks! Wikipedia has certainly benefited from the work of this year's WikiCup participants.

Next year's WikiCup will begin in January. Currently, discussions and polls are open, and all contributions are welcome. You can also sign up for next year's competition. There will be no further newsletters this year, although brief notes may be sent out in December to remind everyone about the upcoming competition. It's been a pleasure to work with you all, and we hope to see you all in January! J Milburn (talk • email) and The ed17 (talk • email) 00:48, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

List of United States disasters by death toll
I would like your opinion on a matter regarding the List of United States disasters by death toll. Currently the disaster type for all tornado-related events is listed as "tornado" whether the even in question was a single tornado or an outbreak. I think this is a bit misleading, especially for events where no single tornado accounted for the majority of the deaths. Do you think there should be a distinction between the two in the article? I posted this query in the article's talk page back in June but never received any response. TornadoLGS (talk) 05:09, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Winter Storm Athena
Remember how I created that article on the United States winter storms? Well, Winter Storm Athena has officially formed on the east coast. I was wondering if we could maybe restore it? Since this naming thing has taken off, then can we make a season article for it? Or should we just stick with Athena's article until a few more have formed?

Incorrect use of Rollback
Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made has been reverted or removed because it was a misuse of a warning or blocking template. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thank you.

Also, your recent rollback on the nor'easter article is inappropriate. There was no vandalism. There shouldn't have been a rollback. Be warned now, as another inappropriate rollback/undo/warning and I will take this to AN/I. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for November 29
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of United States tornadoes in March 2007, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Oak Grove, Arkansas (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Tornadoes of 2012 revert
I'm not seeing any reason why this revert was done, so I've undone it. Everything the bot did seems to be good... fixing typos, adjusting hypens to the MOS guidelines, adjusting dates to the MOS guidelines, etc. Inks.LWC (talk) 06:03, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

User talk:AtefAadd
United States Man, I appreciate your interest, but please leave the unblock request to the admins. First of all, you commented in the wrong place (inside the template), and second, your comment, while in itself not incorrect, can be interpreted as doing little more than increasing the metaphorical temperature on that talk page. This person, if they keep editing in the same vein, is going to run into a brick wall all by themselves--see WP:ROPE for instance. At the same time, usually admins are concerned with applying the rules fairly, and usually that is done best in a calmer environment. As a non-admin, you can't decide on an unblock request anyway, and the commentary only reinforces the blocked editor that the old conspiracy theory deemed true by so many disruptors is in fact real.

St Louis tornado
I have a little improvement I was planning to the 2011 St. Louis tornado that has been in my sandbox for a bit now. Do you have any suggestions? TornadoLGS (talk) 03:51, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

80/20
Not nonsense. First, it's coherent, which rules CSD nonsense out. Second, there IS an 80/20 principle (which I first came across when studying systems analysis). There's probably an article on it somewhere already. Peridon (talk) 20:54, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

We need to talk
Yes we do. First off, rude things like "nonsense" are not nescessary. A constructive way to handle it would be to do a simple search, realize I am correct, and add your own citations. And my information about the Milton tornado was correct. If you didn't like my citation change, the fix it, instead of rudely reverting it. You do not own this website. Let others contribute, and work on your trust issues. Everything I post is verifiable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.58.26.140 (talk) 20:40, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Also I just realized your summary of the Mobile tornado is not cited whatsoever. 184.58.26.140 (talk) 21:09, 21 December 2012 (UTC)Sharkguy05

You failed to place a single inline citation in the summary. You instead put them in the box that is specifically for the NWS links. And there you go with the rudeness 184.58.26.140 (talk) 21:20, 21 December 2012 (UTC)sharkguy05

I guess I can be a nice guy and put my citations in the grey box if thats what you want, because you seem to be under the impression that inline citations are "wrong". I really don't like this awkward conflict, so next time just tell me to fix something when I forget, instead of reverting. I will fix it. 184.58.26.140 (talk) 21:24, 21 December 2012 (UTC)Sharkguy05

Then tell me where info such as damage info from media sources will go? I am just trying to figure out how you want this done so I won't have to deal with this anymore. 184.58.26.140 (talk) 21:54, 21 December 2012 (UTC)Sharkguy05

It is true. There are pictures of the flipped cars and destroyed gas station damage widely available. The NWS writeup missed a lot of specifics. Media can count when there are verifiable pics of the damage. http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/viewart/20121221/NEWS02/312210002/COLUMNISTS http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/usworld/article/288024/6/Damage-from-possible-tornado-reported-in-Mobile-Ala — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sharkguy05 (talk • contribs) 22:12, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
