Good day, Xubinzeng. While some of your edits seem to be decently useful, you may want to declare a conflict of interest if you do work for University of Arizona. This is to ensure neutrality of Wikipedia. Thank you, ✶Mitch  199811  ✶  15:22, 17 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi,
 * this is to confirm that I have been a professor at University of Arizona sine 1994, and I declare that I don't have a conflict of interest for the hurricane prediction.
 * thanks,

 * Xubinzeng, you may want to read the article I linked in my first message as working for an organization does count as a conflict of interest. While you might not have one regarding Atlantic hurricane seasons in general, you are linking your own predictions. ✶Mitch  199811  ✶  19:01, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I have read that article. University of Arizona is a non-profit organization on higher education. we are doing the hurricane prediction as a service of our science to the public. therefore I don't have a conflict of interest. Xubinzeng (talk) 19:48, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I am very sorry for disrupting you and you are right. Happy editing! ✶Mitch  199811  ✶  20:02, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * thanks for the efforts! Xubinzeng (talk) 20:31, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Xubinzeng! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at 2024 Atlantic hurricane season that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. jlwoodwa (talk) 02:02, 24 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reminder. We update our prediction in June each year. Xubinzeng (talk) 04:16, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
