Lol, I usually beat people to stuff in the West and East Pacific since there my favorite basins, as well as the CPAC. Also I’d you hear about the south Atlantic subtropical Depression, man that’s crazy in October. Thanks for the nice message. Robloxsupersuperhappyface (talk) 12:35, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- Yep, I heard about the South Atlantic depression. In fact, it strengthened into a subtropical storm! Second one this year - 2020 doing its job. We have a hyperactive Atl basin, a hurricane that hit Greece, two South Atlantic subtropical storms, a super cyclonic storm that devastated India and Bangladesh, and a trio of typhoons hitting Korea and a quartet of tropical storms/typhoons hitting Vietnam. What a year! ~Destroyeraa🌀 15:55, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Storms of the month and other tropical activity for October and November SotM for October: Typhoon Goni / Rolly SotM for November: Hurricane Iota
The active Atlantic hurricane season continued. In early October, Tropical Storm Gamma dissipated over the northern Yucatan and was absorbed by powerful Hurricane Delta, which was the season's third major hurricane. Delta weakened before hitting Quintana Roo, but restrengthened in the Gulf of Mexico, later hitting Louisiana as a low-end Category 2 hurricane in nearly the same location as Hurricane Laura in August. Delta killed six people and left US$4 billion in damage. A few days later, Hurricane Epsilon developed southeast of Bermuda, becoming a major hurricane and brushing the island to the east. Hurricane Zeta followed a similar path as Delta, striking Quintana Roo and later striking southeastern Louisiana as a Category 2 hurricane; it killed 8 people and left U$3 billion in damage. At the end of the month, Hurricane Eta developed, becoming a strong Category 4 hurricane before striking Nicaragua. After killing hundreds of people in Central America, Eta reformed in the northwestern Caribbean. It made another landfall in Cuba, moved over the Florida Keys, and briefly became a hurricane again in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, before weakening and striking Cedar Key, Florida as a tropical storm. In early November, Tropical Storm Theta developed from a non-tropical low and moved across the eastern Atlantic.
Member of the month (edition) – Robloxsupersuperhappyface Robloxsupersuperhappyface joined Wikipedia in July of this year, and has become the most prolific tropical cyclone editor relating to current events, as well as playing an enormous role in creation of newly formed tropical cyclones that eventually became destructive in many regions they are affected in (Hurricane Sally to Gulf Coast of the United States, Typhoon Goni to the Philippines, and Hurricane Iota to Central America respectively - Also, both Goni and Iota are Storms of the Month!). Because of that reason, Robloxsupersuperhappyface's articles are the one of the most viewed tropical cyclone articles in this year - as well as helped us on inviting prospective tropical cyclone editors to this project as they edited Robloxsupersuperhappyface's articles, leading into why we have more than 100 members in this WikiProject leading to this issue. As the result of brilliant Robloxsupersuperhappyface's contributions, we want to give many, many thanks to Super for helping this WikiProject grow so much recently. Happy Thanksgiving! New WikiProject Members since the last newsletter - project membership is over 100 now! More information can be found here. This list lists members who have joined/rejoined the WikiProject since the release of the last issue. Sorted chronologically in order of which they joined.
To our new members: welcome to the project, and happy editing! Feel free to check the to-do list at the bottom right of the newsletter for things that you might want to work on. To our veteran members: thank you for your edits and your tireless contributions! Let's talk about that - An opinion piece by Weatherman27 Before I start, I would like to link everyone to a new essay regarding Force Thirteen. Here it is: WP:F13. I recommend users (old and new) to read this to understand why we don't use Force Thirteen as a source, and why it isn't a reliable source. If you want to see what good reliable sources are, read this: WP:WPTC/AS Now, I will get to the main point of this opinion piece. Recently, I have gotten more involved in talk pages, and sharing my ideas and/or my opinions on different issues or ideas that have come up, primarily on 2020 Atlantic hurricane season's talk page. As I have discussed these thoughts and ideas with other editors, I have noticed and experienced some things such as being personally attacked, which has led me to want to reiterated some key points here. Despite the fact that they are mentioned commonly at the top of talk pages, I want to bring these up as it is important to have a good base where people can properly chat and discuss topics in peace. 1. Treat others with respect This one can't be stressed enough. Especially on talk pages, it is a place where you and your peers communicate issues, opinions, or ideas to each-other. This means discussing topics in a kind and adult manner. There is nothing wrong with disagreeing in what somebody may say, but that does not mean that you have the right to put them down for not having similar views. It is simply the Golden Rule. 2. Assume Good faith Along with my first point, I feel this one needs to be brought up. People have different opinions, and that is all right, but just because you may not agree with it or what they say, does not mean that it was not out of good faith. They were most likely voicing what they think on the subject, and that is alright. This also goes for edits. Unless it is pretty obvious that a user as vandalized something, it is always good to assume good faith, as other people might not know the rules as well as a more experienced editor. 3. Avoid Personal attacks This is a very important subject that needs to be remembered not just on talk pages, but on all other parts of Wikipedia as well. On talk pages, discussions can get pretty tense and heated, and I admit that I have gotten into a few of these arguments as well. Despite this, it is never okay to attack someone. As a user who has gotten personally attacked before, I can definitely say that it does not feel good, and usually the person who made the attacked will get warned or blocked, so please be kind and accept what other people have to say, because you will get nowhere by being rude. 4. Come to a consensus (preferably a clear one) On talk pages, whenever there is a discussion regarding something important like the merging of an article, people need to decide what the outcome of something important on a talk page. For example, if there is say, a merge discussion for an article on a tropical cyclone, many people will give their input. Usually, different people will have different views on whether to merge or keep the article. Sometimes, the editor will close the discussion early, but this is usually for unrelated reasons, though it sometimes may be because the editor had a change of mind. Now, if there is support for say a merge of the article, then that will be the consensus and the discussion will be closed and the article merged. This can also happen on the opposite side, if an article is to be kept, the discussion will be closed and article kept. Simply put, it is important to discuss and come to a clear decision if there is a consensus involved, to avoid difficulty with the article or page in the future. These are just a few examples of things that editors of the WPTC need to remember when using talk page discussions. There are plenty of other things not mentioned here that are just as important when it comes to using talk pages. I made this simply to help remind editors the key points when using the discussions, and I hope these were helpful to new users as well as veterans. We need to really get better at staying calm and keeping civil. I have noticed lots of hostility and arguing lately, as well as edit warring and disputes. We need to work this out. We are supposed to work together as WPTC editors, so please fix it. It is sad seeing so many editors getting reported or having to get blocked from this. Once again, keep discussions civil and have a good day. Signing off, 🌀Weatherman27🏈 My experiences as a WikiProject Tropical cyclones member by SMB99thx Hello again, people of the WikiProject Tropical cyclones! In here, I want to tell how my experiences with WikiProject Tropical Cyclones changed my views on WikiProjects, helped me out of trouble and to be able to regain the trust of many people in Wikipedia. When I joined WikiProject Tropical cyclones, it was the second WikiProject I have ever joined. The first WikiProject I have ever joined is WikiProject COVID-19, and the reason why I joined that project is to gain trust of people when I contributed to COVID-19 articles and as well as my fight against an IP editor which turned out to be the LTA named Bedriczwaleta (and has been active much more longer than I thought, since February of last year (!!!!)). I have the same thought process (and combined with my plans of editing old season articles, which is not done yet) when I first joined this WikiProject, but joining the WikiProject Tropical cyclones turned out to be something different. It led me to know what are the purposes of WikiProjects are and in turn led me to join many other WikiProjects since. As such, what made me change my views on WikiProjects during my time as a WikiProject Tropical Cyclones? First of all, I have seen that WikiProject Tropical cyclones members always actively work together to advance project goals, actively participating in discussions and give much-needed advice on new WikiProject Tropical cyclones members (including me). Second, WPTC really cares about our articles (and the assessments) as part of their project goals. 2018 FT project and Meteorological history of Hurricane Dorian (Four Award!) is a prime example of this. Third, we are actively welcoming the new members of this WikiProject and giving these members opportunity to succeed with us by i.e. giving out WikiLove (barnstars). Fourth, we, like WP COVID-19, actively fight against vandals and other LTAs e.g. Sidow........., UnderArmorKid, and Iphonehurricane95. These kinds of activity led me to change my belief on what WikiProjects truly are. You could see this kind of activity on other good WikiProjects like WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors, which I just joined recently on 26 October 2020 as of this newsletter and WikiProject Articles of Creation, which I have interest on joining but I might not be able to. Now, why WikiProject Tropical cyclones brought me out of trouble (and Chicdat, for that matter)? WikiProject Tropical cyclones is generally a content-creating WikiProject. We really care about improving tropical cyclone coverage on Wikipedia. Members of this WikiProject generally encouraged to communicate and discuss (in Wikipedia, in Discord, or in IRC channel), and this is what helped me and Chicdat out from trouble since our discussions from what I have seen is not always administrative. Before I joined WikiProject Tropical cyclones (and when I was still new to WikiProject Tropical cyclones), I have been putting myself on trouble numerous times. I was an ANI regular, and as an ANI regular I detailed about my struggle to deal with the LTA Bedriczwaleta and I'm was also putting up IBAN proposals of User:Jadebenn and User:Moamem as well as User:U1Quattro and User:1292simon. While I have managed to get my proposal succeeded and finally got Bedriczwaleta back on track for a while (what I thought), in August 20 (as I was about to finalize my decision to enter my college I'm currently in right now) I got myself into serious trouble against IP range 185.66.252.0/23 (which is apparently good at programming - I'm not). I tried to get them blocked for PA (calling me a thief who has a black soul), but this is where when I realized that I had to attribute things I copied within Wikipedia and I had to apologize to the user. Since then, I did my best to attribute everything I had copied articles from (Example) and I also realized that ANI is not for me (as I do not want to get into troubles by just being there), which led me to quitting ANI until November of this year when I decided to involve myself on Miggy72 dispute (now banned for sockpuppetry - Miggy72 could have been invited to WPTC if he stopped on insisting to create non-notable topics). After that incident with the IP range 185.66.252.0/23, I have stated that I do not want to get myself into trouble as a presence in ANI. As such, I decided to focus on what I want to do, which is to continue my project of splitting season articles of the yesteryear and began to increasingly involve myself within the project - to look for help and giving the best help that I can do for this WikiProject. The activity from that September led me to become Member of the Month in the previous edition of this newsletter. It was a comeback that I needed, and I want to thank WikiProject Tropical cyclones (especially Hurricanehink) for getting me on this situation. Without their help, I'm not sure if I could be here on this day. Now, for the final question – why this WikiProject helped me (and Chicdat) regain trust of many people in Wikipedia? As I stated before, this WikiProject encourages discussion within other members of this WikiProject, which in turn encourages close involvement in all sides of this WikiProject. Because of this, some people are actually helping us learning policies in Wikipedia as the time goes on, rather than falling in into blocks. As such, with time, I have seen that some admins are open for Chicdat to become a rollbacker, while I got hold on several automated gadgets that was more useful. It appears that these tools are the reason why these people are one of the more trusted people in Wikipedia, which in turn helped me a lot at gaining trust. Someday in the future, I'm looking to become an admin by myself. But that's for the another day. For now, what I'm currently doing now is to work at my craft to eventually prepare for the day when I will seek for adminship in the years ahead. In conclusion, you can see that this WikiProject helped me to regain my standing, alongside Chicdat, Nioni1234, Cristianpogi678, HurricaneTracker495 - and of course - CyclonicallyDeranged! If not for this WikiProject, I don't think they are will be here. Chicdat could have been CIR-blocked like Prahlad balaji and PythonSwarm, Nioni1234 and Cristianpogi678 ending up like Binbin0111 and Miggy72, HurricaneTracker495 would have a trouble establishing himself (or probably will never establish theirselves and stay as an IP) and CyclonicallyDeranged fully driven out from Wikipedia. By the way, to me, both Binbin0111 and Miggy72 are young, but unfortunately they took on the wrong path (Binbin0111 was one of the earliest Force Thirteen insinuators - Binbin0111 is probably the impetus of Force Thirteen policy in this project (as it was made back in 2017), while Miggy72... we know what happened). I feel bad for them, especially Binbin0111. Had Binbin0111 is willing to learn and took steps forward to become productive young editor like Yellow Evan and two other resilient young editors I have mentioned did, Binbin0111 could have been one of the most valuable editors in this project, especially in matters related to Western Pacific basin, and in extension, Vietnam. That's it. That's what I have to say. College is increasingly getting into my feelings right now, but I will do my best as I can coming into December. Sorry if I have a bad English. Thanks for reading this opinion piece! Greetings from Indonesia, SMB99thx my edits! |

Editing
Hey there Robloxsupersuperhappyface! I saw you've been editing a lot lately, and I appreciate your enthusiasm. I just wanted to check, now that the season is over, whether you might still be editing tropical cyclone articles, now that the season is done. There are thousands of articles that need work, both new and old, Atlantic or elsewhere, and even some basic lists that could use work. I see you're from Texas. The List of Texas hurricanes (1980–present) could use some updating so it doesn't lose its featured status. Or at the other extreme, the List of Texas hurricanes (pre-1900) is in rather poor shape, and could use a dedicated user to help finish it. I hope you're doing well these days and staying positive (except for Covid, hope you stay negative!) ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:25, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
Thank you, I could surely try to contribute to the Texas lists. I remember I have a few photos saved over from an exhibit our local museum briefly opened about the 1919 Florida Keys hurricane, so I’ll see what I can do with that. However, I relate too much to that last part, my aunt (who we ate dinner with on Black Friday) tested positive so we went to go get tested on Wednesday, my household was negative but my other aunt tested positive. It’s been a crazy few weeks. LOL. Stay safe!Robloxsupersuperhappyface (talk) 21:29, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- Oh no! I hope your aunt and family are safe. As for the Texas lists, there are a few really good sources that are already on Wikipedia. Have you read Effects of the 1919 Florida Keys hurricane in Texas? TheAustinMan ( talk ·contribs) did a great job on that. The List of Texas hurricanes (1900–1949) also needs work. Any lists for a state is gonna be a lot of work, so if it's too much, don't worry. It might just take a while. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 21:36, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- What?! Some of your family has COVID-19?! Oh my god, please for real stay safe! I want to acknowledge myself that some of my relatives (not close relatives, but acquitenances within my family) has COVID around the month of August, and while COVID-19 never got into my own family COVID-19 impacted me hard personally. COVID-19 is what fueled my comeback to Wikipedia and also made my college harder than it should be. SMB99thxmy edits! 11:05, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

What a coincidence
I'm guessing by your user page that you are under 20. Please don't tell me your exact age, I don't want to know.
The coincidence is that when I was the age when most people start playing Roblox, I was into hurricane-tracking too. That was before both Roblox AND Wikipedia, and we didn't have the internet at home either. Mom and dad DID have a weather radio, so every 3 hours we could get a new "fix" and plot it on the map, with a pencil. Yeah, we had to do it old school back then. Hey, at least I grew up in the era of weather satellites, so at least we had time to evacuate when something got close. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 23:43, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
I started tracking years ago, however, I am in an IB and Gifted, so I knew a lot for my age when I was younger. I also used to make little hypothetical hurricane seasons on Notes by making infobox-like graphs with this layout.
Storm Name Wind Speed and Pressure Date Death Damage Impacted Areas Image
Eventually I made more graphs with detailed paragraphs (similar to Wikipedia). Then I made a Wikipedia account in July of this year and began editing significantly to tropical cyclone articles, and I’m glad I came here.

Autopatrolled granted
Hi DachshundLover82, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! — Newslinger talk 21:36, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

AfC notification: Draft:Tropical Storm Philippe (2017) has a new comment
@Chicdat:, thanks for the nice comment. I’ve been trying to expand more on the Central America section since it’s been kind of hard to find info for Honduras, because a coldfront was also causing rain in the country at the same time as Philippe. It seems though most impacts from Philippe in Honduras arrived after PTC18 pushed a huge amount of moisture into the eastern part of the country on October 27. All deaths in Nicaragua also came from the precursor to Philippe and some from PTC18, but all moisture in Nicaragua seemed to have moved into Honduras, the Cayman Islands, and Cuba shortly after its designation as a TD. So I’m hoping I can finish this and finish the US sections. Thanks for the support!DachshundLover82 (talk) 00:39, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Confusion
Hey, there's now two draft of Surigae. One is Chlod's draft and one is your draft. There should be one draft, so which draft should be superior and if you can't decide so I'll be put in the talk page.Beraniladri19 🌀🌀 08:11, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
You can put the matter on the talk page of the 2021 Pacific typhoon season so people there can vote. LowercaseGuy chow! 08:21, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
@Beraniladri19:, actually you are allowed to have two drafts I think. It’s happened numerous times already.DachshundLover82 (talk) 12:59, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

For your 28+ tropical cyclone articles. You've also made articles for some storms that I believe should've gotten their own articles long ago. Keep up the great work! LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 16:20, 14 April 2021 (UTC) |
Surigae
Hey dude, I started a draft for TS Surigae, and I don't need Afc to publish it. Could I merge the info you already have onto it? We'll be joint creators. JoeMT615 (talk) 18:25, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
Sure, but you’ll have to check with other editors first, Chlod also has a draft that’s under merge proposals.DachshundLover82 (talk) 18:35, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
I believe we don't need a consensus to make the article, it already meets the notability reqs and Chlod's draft contains all the info already covered by ours. JoeMT615 (talk) 18:44, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Typhoon Molave into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Please go back and check articles you have majorly worked on or expanded for any more copying without attribution. A blanking is an acknowledgement of this message, and an expectation that you a) stop and b) go back and fix what you previously copied without attribution. Sennecaster (What now?) 19:21, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
@Sennecaster:, hello I have a few things to stay. (a- At least say some form of "hello" when leaving messages on talk pages, but at least thanks for showing some kind of appreciation (b- I have already stopped copying and pasting without attribution months ago after I became familiar with the policy (c- I will NOT be able to go back and fix a lot of the things I did months ago since I would have to scroll through the search history of dozens of pages since July 2020 (d- It would be helpful to know that a lot of the pages in WPTC have no attribution because I’m sure for the longest time WPTC was exempt from that policy which didn’t become a problem up until recently (that’s what I’ve heard) (e- If you find a copy vio be bold and try to fix it yourself instead of expecting other editors to do it for you, and thanks for the work you’ve already done reversing this over a decade long flaw.DachshundLover82 (talk) 04:51, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- It's a template. There is no hello. I templated you. You absolutely deserved this. It does not matter how old the copyright violations are, copyright-focused editors template everyone. Secondly, you don't have to trawl contributions to find it, just any article you worked on you can check. I do some of this stuff on my phone, so it's not the worst. And WPTC was never exempt from any policy whatsoever. No project has any exemption from copyright, BLP, or legal threats. They aren't even policies. These are laws that are turned into policies so editors can follow it, and are to be upheld no matter the cost or contradictions with other policies. Lastly, I am being extremely bold, so much so that I opened a CCI on the entire project because I'm physically incapable of fixing the thousands of articles in this project by myself. I'm personally dealing with some mental health problems, a high volume of schoolwork, and exams off-wiki. I'm asking you to be bold and fix this mess yourself. Do not thank me for cleaning up your messes that you refuse to deal with yourself. The best way you can thank me is to fix your mistakes and move on. Sennecaster ( What now?) 19:35, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
Addition on C, I am currently becoming very busy with upcoming testing and health issues so I will only be able to really go through the articles where I know copying and pasting happened such as Hurricane Delta and Zeta.DachshundLover82 (talk) 04:52, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
More things (a - You continue to be disrespectful towards me on my talk page by your choice of wording (please reread the talk page guidelines which are enforced regardless of material (b- I am NOT REFUSING to fix my issues, I’m saying there isn’t much I’m able to do in my current condition (recovering from a hospital journey.DachshundLover82 (talk) 20:44, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
Typhoon Khanun (2017) and Cyclone Fehi
I forgot to tell you here, but I copied and moved both pages into the draftspace, respectively, to allow other people to work on them. I want them get published as soon as possible. You can tell why LowercaseGuy actually helped you more - you'll see that Typhoon Talim (2017) was finished by LowercaseGuy! And for Cyclone Phethai, I'm not stealing it but to actually get your draft published. BTW, I want to tell you that please don't use words like you said at my own talk page. There are going to be consequences if you did that over and over again. And, you need to learn about WP:OWN. I have some drafts at my own userspace, but honestly I'll let other people do whatever they want (only thing I don't want people to do is to move them to userspace only when it is very incomplete. The bar is low though, however, as I'm open to get them moved once it's good enough, even if it's bare.). MarioJump83! 08:30, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- Like for example, Typhoon Viola (1969) was left in userspace draft for months, but when Lowercase wrote it for me, I'm very happy to see it. I'm not frustrated with what's going on. I honestly believe that you shouldn't be so frustrated if someone actually finishes things for you. This is why you need to learn more about Wikipedia:Ownership of content, as I said it again. Per WP:OWN - No one, no matter how skilled, or how high-standing in the community, has the right to act as though they are the owner of a particular article. MarioJump83! 08:36, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- A LTA which used to disrupt the WPTC, Sidowpknbkhihj is known for what I said above. They're very aggressive about it. You shouldn't try to become the person ja:LTA:HEATHROW was known for. Whatever I said here, I'm not doing this in bad faith as you assume. I'm doing this to help you. I also forgot to note that I always attributed your works via edit summaries. This is based on Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Hyperlink. This is not stealing. If you were to copy another people's works to build your content you can always use this edit summary copied content from page name; see that page's history for attribution. I have learned that lesson all the way back to August 2020, and still make sure that I attribute works when I copy someone's work to this day. MarioJump83! 08:54, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- I hope what I said above can help you to become a better editor! You'll need my advice here, as many of us in WPTC are concerned with what you're doing recently. This advice can help you get back on track. By the way, I wish that you have a good health and bright life in years to come! MarioJump83! 08:56, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
@MarioJump83:, I only get frustrated when I don’t get any notification ahead of time. Honestly, nobody should be concerned about my sandboxes. Example, Jason Rees has 66 drafts in his sandbox, nowhere near as many as I have, but nobody has complained to him. My only concern would be getting my current mainspace drafts out of the way.DachshundLover82 (talk) 14:00, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
