Hautmont tornado was an EF4

According to the official report published by France, it was rated as a level 4 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, meaning they use the EF scale, unlike the rest of Europe for some reason. I was unsure about using EF in the article since the others were all rated on the old scale. Cyclonebiskit 13:49, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

I always find it interesting that people can go to so much effort and make so much noise when attempting to "remove unsourced material" by repeatedly blanking a page.

Re: For the record

Normally I'm (slightly) less blunt with users but this is at least the third time this person has done this (judging from the pattern of vandalism and the use of the page name in the edit summary), not with the same IP of course. To me that's a consistent enough pattern where being nice is no longer called for and the vandalism needs to be stopped, especially when it's sneaky misinformation that might not get caught (as in the vandal's changing I6 to V6). --Sable232 (talk) 19:45, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Gulf low

The quality you have that escapes others, particularly in the federal government, is known as common sense. Having a Ph.D. does not guarantee that a particular person has common sense, just a significant amount of information concerning a topic. Common sense requires using the information you know without regard to political aftermath, basing decisions on a meteorological basis only. Sometimes, decisions are made on a political basis, such as not wanting to work night shifts. Not that this was the reason for a lack of advisories on an out of season system, I'm just saying.... =) Thegreatdr (talk) 22:29, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

re:Brokencyde

I undeleted because that AfD was old and the band is now clearly notable and satisfies WP:MUSIC notability requirements (2 albums, international tours, many references in media). It puts Wikipedia in a bad light that it doesn't have articles about notable subjects. I would appreciate if you recognize your mistake and undelete the article.  Grue  09:23, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Yet you took it upon yourself to delete an article that happily existed for the whole month and was edited by lots of different users (but hey, it's non-notable, no one ever heard of it). It had references from reliable sources. You just went and deleted it based on half-year old AfD, without even checking what's going on. Good job. And now I'm supposed to waste my precious time on deletion review?  Grue  16:32, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

hi, the reason that i wanted the other to delete was the idea that mine had more style but had the same information. but just cancel the deletion, i dont really care, and i'm new to wikipedia and i did'ne really understand that deletion stuff.

and, i did'nt really understand the second part because i dont really understand english THAT good.

but what i did understand is that you wany to get the other ( i'll wont say old) template back.

but why is that? i'l hear it from you.

also i'm busy with exams on school and a lot of other thinks on wikipedia and stuff so everything can take a while.

I'll give you more time

I didn't realize the complication. I'll give you another week. The lead should be a full summary of the content below. It shouldn't be a teaser. The references need to be done in a similar format to one another. In other words, the book references need to be placed in a ref format similar to cite book, where all relevant information, including ISBN number, year of publishing, title, etcetera, are included. The information within the book refs should be at least as complete as your web references. Thegreatdr (talk) 19:12, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

My small edit use only previously existing sources in the article, so if it's incorrect then previous edits should also be reverted. Specifically, in the temperature rise and drop sections I thought that in an article dealing with records it'd be nice to state start and finish temperatures. The addition of the second drop (after the record rise in Spearfish, South Dakota) is clearly a record in itself. Regarding the rain records in Cherrapunji, the referred BBC article clearly states both records, the yearly being more than 1000 inches, namely 1042. I've used milimeters for the sake of consistency and because amount of rain is usually measured by that unit (and not meters). It's true that the Guinness book numbers in the article about this city are slightly different, so if my edit is reinstated I'll correct both accordingly (and the source to the one appearing there).

Tornado myths

That is what I've been trying to tell you. As far as I can tell from wikipedia standards, the lead is supposed to be a summary, not a tease. Right now, it is more of an introduction than a summary. The reference problem is still not fixed, as the book references are not in the same format as the web references, though there has been improvement. An image does need to lead the article as well, which I placed in the GAN review since your posting to my talk page. Thegreatdr (talk) 02:36, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I have no problem with you citing each different page where necessary. My problem is with your TWO reference sections, rather than having just one. You need to use refs with the cite book template, with the full format included, not just author, year, and page number. Thegreatdr (talk) 12:45, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

The page you linked me to shows that you're improperly citing books, even in that manner. Look over that specific wikipedia guideline page again. The book reference section you have is to be merged into the general reference section (where you have the web references), with the way you've annotated it currently in the reference section with just author and page number being separated out into a notes section. This is different from the way you have it arranged now. Keep in mind this is not the only issue you have left outstanding with the article, so it is not the only issue remaining for you to reach GA. There has been much banter within the GA/FAC talk page over the years about pages being prematurely promoted to GA, primarily with referencing and grammar issues. I'm not one of those reviewers who jumps to promote an article to GA. You are improving the article, but it still doesn't seem to satisfy the GA criteria to me. My issues right now are primarily with 2a (the way you're using citations) and 6 (imagery). You need an image in the lead as well. You are free to ask for second opinions, if you'd like them. Thegreatdr (talk) 19:14, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

The lead image seemed to disappear yesterday but appears to have returned, so I struck that comment out of the GAN page a little while ago. There are a few lingering issues with the lead (now it has unique information which is a no-no) and shortness of the tornadoes in winter section, of which I've left comments on within the GAN page. Different reference issues are now seen in the web references, where some refs have publishing year/date, and others do not. The referencing should be uniform amongst the web references. I'm leaving the second opinion tag up, just in case. You're making good progress, and I understand your frustration. I've had articles wait 7 weeks to even be reviewed because people felt they weren't knowledgeable enough concerning the topic. I've also had articles stuck in GAN for 1-2 weeks after the initial review, even without the complication of being out of town. In fact, I have one up for GAN right now where the primary reviewer hasn't responded to me in 3 days. You learn to live with the frustration. Thegreatdr (talk) 19:47, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't see issues with civility. Thegreatdr (talk) 19:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Almost there. I've helped you out with the ref issues I spotted. You have one new section which needs more content; it is too stubby/short. Otherwise, the information needs to be provided in another pre-existing larger section, where appropriate. Thegreatdr (talk) 20:33, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem. Note the remaining issue I tried to include on the talk page for Tornado Myth, but somehow ended up within its GA2 page. You're going to need to fix this potential POV issue before peer reviewing and FACing the article. Thegreatdr (talk) 14:00, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I removed references to http://whbqt.info/template_permalink.asp?id=261, a blog site. I replaced that reference with the news site reference.

GA Sweeps

Welcome to Sweeps, it's always great to have a new member! To answer your question I already reviewed all of the meteorology articles (sorry if I beat you to the punch!). If you go to the running total page, you'll see the list of articles reviewed by all members so far. All of the articles on the worklist are the ones that still need to be reviewed (~800 articles out of the original ~2,800). Whenever an article is passed/failed from the worklist (or placed on hold), it is listed at the running total page. For example, you reviewed Dark matter, and listed it at the running total page (so we can keep tabs of our current progress even if they're on hold). If you had passed/failed the article instead of placing it on hold, you would delete it from the worklist and automatically add it to the running total page. At the conclusion of your review if it is passed/failed, you then delete it from the worklist and update it on the running total page. Let me know if you need any clarification on anything else. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 07:23, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Being from a southern climate, snow really wasn't of a concern. Even in college, we brushed over it, with everything concentrated on sounding profiles. I learned more about snow in 2007 than I did in all the previous years combined, because there was a good set of COMET training modules on the topic.

Circle on Cavill and IPs

Hi. Thanks for bringing this issue up on my talk page. On my final reversion, I was on the brink of starting up a discussion rather than reverting it, but for some reason, I chose not to. I agree that I probably did the wrong thing, and I'm glad you've unblocked the IPs to help us sort this out.

To the point. Recently, in the last month, there has been a lot of adding and changing external links on Circle on Cavill, as I'm sure you're aware. It appears it all started up with this edit by Wikiholiday. Before then, there was a jumble of websites, none of which I'm sure about. I'm still not sure which websites are the most appropriate, but Link 1 and Link 2 are the most professional looking. It appears that in this edit, Nja247 believes that these two are also spamlinks. I'm not disagreeing with him, but is it possible that there are no official websites we can add to the article? --timsdad ^(talk) 09:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

It's also a possibility that these IPs don't want to negotiate but would rather continue to revert not just mine, but others' edits just to keep the links they want up on the article. I'm referring to this edit. --timsdad ^(talk) 09:32, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

I work for Circle on Cavill and while there is quite a bit going on online. There are only 3 websites that are "official". The first is circleoncavill.com.au, this website will replace circleoncavillretail1.com.au in a few weeks. the circleoncavillsales.com.au is also offical. lastly mantracircleoncavill.com.au is the hotel website.

A look up of trademarks via IP Australia for circle on cavill show's that Stella Hospitality Group and Sunleisure Property Holdings Pty Ltd own trademarks and the above sites are their websites.

I hope this clears things up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.189.213.41 (talk) 01:56, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps August update

Thanks to everyone's dedicated efforts to the GA Sweeps process, a total of 215 articles were swept in July! We are currently nearly 80% done with Sweeps, with under 600 articles left to review. With 50 members, that averages out to about 12 articles per person. Once the remaining articles drop to 100, I'll help in reviewing the last articles (I'm currently taking a break). If each member reviews an article every other day this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. Again, I want to thank you for using your time to ensure the quality of the older GAs. Feel free to recruit other editors who have reviewed GANs in the past and might be interested in the process. The more editors, the less the workload, and hopefully the faster this will be completed. If you have any questions about reviews or the process let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you.

To update on the progress of the severe weather article, we have currently reached a path where the main contributors require the help of other Wikipedians. The current structure and organization on this article has numerous issues that needs to be adressed. However, after a lot discussion about the re-organization of the contents, we now are requesting the assistance of others to give suggestions and comments on the structure of the article. Would you mind taking a look and put your perspective into the improvement of the article structure? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Your GA nomination of Four-State Tornado Swarm

The article Four-State Tornado Swarm 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 needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Four-State Tornado Swarm for things needed to be addressed.

FAR for tornado

I have nominated Tornado for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. John Asfukzenski (talk) 15:29, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps update

Thanks to everyone's efforts to the GA Sweeps process, we are currently over 90% done with only 226 articles remain to be swept! As always, I want to thank you for using your time to ensure the quality of the older GAs. With over 50 members participating in Sweeps, that averages out to about 4 articles per person! If each member reviews an article once a week this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. At that point, awards will be handed out to reviewers. As an added incentive, if we complete over 100 articles reviewed this month, I will donate $100 to Wikipedia Forever on behalf of all GA Sweeps participants. I hope that this incentive will help to increase our motivation for completing Sweeps while supporting Wikipedia in the process. If you have any questions about reviews or Sweeps let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 00:16, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Loss of content during redirect of Academy Award, Best Short Subject, One-reel

Hi, back in June you redirected Academy Award, Best Short Subject, One-reel to Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film with the edit summary "that article contains all this info already." However, a quick glance at the source page reveals that that is clearly not the case. None of the nominated films past 1940 are present in the target page: literally dozens of films are missing. I see from your Talk page message that you're busy with studies so I'll add them back in. But please be more careful in the future when doing redirects to ensure that information is not lost. thanks, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:38, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

No probs. Oddly, another editor merging the two-reelers made exactly the same assumption: I restored those noms as well. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:04, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you note re: Nahum Gergel article

February GA Sweeps update

Progress as of January 2010

Thanks to everyone's efforts to the GA Sweeps process, we are currently over 95% done with around 130 articles left to be swept! Currently there are over 50 members participating in Sweeps, that averages out to about 3 articles per person! If each member reviews an article once a week this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. At that point, awards will be handed out to reviewers. Per my message last month, although we did not review 100 articles last month, I still made a donation of $90 (we had 90 reviews completed/initiated) to Wikipedia Forever on behalf of all GA Sweeps reviewers. I would like to thank everyone's efforts for last month, and ask for additional effort this month so we can be finished. I know you have to be sick of seeing these updates (as well as Sweeps itself) by now, so please do consider reviewing a few articles if you haven't reviewed in a while. If you have any questions about reviews or Sweeps let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 02:44, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia Signpost interview?

Info on Blizzard template

Thanks for your input on the Blizzards in the United States template. If the conditions you mentioned are the case then that would mean the "category:Blizzards in the United States" would also require adjusting since I included articles listed in that category which I included in the template to make it more complete. If you think things need changes our welcome to do so. Since blizzard requirements are 1/4mi visibility and winds greater then 35mph than that would even contest the naming of some articles. For example the "2009 North American Christmas Winter Storm" should be considered a blizzard because blizzard conditions and blizzard warnings across the Midwest, while the "3rd North American Blizzard" had no blizzard warnings issued or known blizzard criteria. Just some food for thought. Let me know what you think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stormchaser89 (talk • contribs) 00:05, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

GA Sweeps Completed!

Thanks to everyone's amazing efforts in February, we have reviewed all of the articles and are now finished with Sweeps! There are still about 30 articles currently on hold, and once those reviews are completed, I will send you a final message about Sweeps process stats including the total number of articles that were passed and failed. If you have one of these open reviews, be sure to update your count when the review is completed so I can compile the stats. You can except to receive your award for reviewing within the next week or two. Although the majority of the editors did not start Sweeps at the beginning in August 2007 (myself included), over 50 editors have all come together to complete a monumental task and improve many articles in the process. I commend you for sticking with this often challenging task and strengthening the integrity of the GA WikiProject as well as the GAs themselves. I invite you to take a break from reviewing (don't want you to burn out!) and then consider returning/starting to review GANs and/or contribute to GAR reviews. With your assistance, we can help bring the backlog down to a manageable level and help inspire more editors to improve articles to higher classes and consider reviewing themselves. Again, thank you for putting up with difficult reviews, unhappy editors, numerous spam messages from me, and taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing!

A sincere thank you from Wikiproject Good Articles

I suspect that it will take me a day or so to get done with the over haul. I drew the short straw but I'll give it a good shot. Respectfully Bullock ✉ 04:10, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Quick question since you are a member of the Severe Weather project. Is this your key article or should it be were everyone goes to get started? It may affect how I trim the tree. Bullock ✉ 04:14, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Benj. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Severe weather

Where are the factual errors? If it has errors, we have bigger problems, because most of that content (the last time I looked at the article before the copyedit) was directly or nearly directly from the different types of severe weather's articles.

There is not any threat. A user is systematically providing false data and slandering and libeling institutions in Wiki pages, so he should warned about this. The material has been provided and legal actions are being taken against him. So I suggest you to get informed before talking about something you don't have an idea about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.50.26.135 (talk) 10:06, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Page move

My reply to your comment-

I don't understand your move and merge of Winter storms of 2006–2007 to Global storm activity of 2005-2007. Could you please explain your reasoning for this page title?? -RunningOnBrains^(talk) 14:04, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

There was a trouble about the name 'winter' on Winter storms of 2009–2010 [[2]] and claims that it was not globalized, was largly pro-northern hemispher and should report all big storms in all places.--Snow storm in Eastern Asia (talk) 14:30, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
