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)[reply]

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)[reply]
Thanks, LunaEatsTuna! Blaze Wolf, I'm sure Luna will get to you sometime, I'm sure. :) Tails Wx 01:12, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Thanks again, LunaEatsTuna! I'll be sure to fix any issues you presented at the GA1. Tails Wx 11:43, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
Hmm...alright. I had previously thought it wasn't valid, but, okay! Tails Wx 15:51, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"toward" tends to be pronounced as "towards" anyway in my experience. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 15:53, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Tails Wx. Thank you for your work on February 2023 North American winter storm. User:SunDawn, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 07:07, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SunDawn:, thanks for reviewing the article, and thanks for the comments! And, have a blessed day as well! :) Tails Wx 13:18, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Encouraged" past tense? You've done it already? Woah ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 13:47, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
Bad grammar on my part! :) ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 16:22, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No worries ;) Thanks for reviewing the article! Tails Wx 17:00, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Possible impersonation

Hello again Tails. While monitoring recent changes, I noticed this account (User:TaiIs Wx). Is this your doppelganger account or not?‎ Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:07, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

... and its been blocked literally while I was typing this. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:07, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Requested they be locked. This guy sure is sus. Feel free to trout me for saying that ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:10, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Schminnte: 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. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:13, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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". Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:16, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:20, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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... Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:22, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Schminnte, Blaze Wolf, 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, HJ Mitchell for the block as well! Didn't know I had a fake account after me :) Tails Wx 16:24, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chess!? How dare you play chess instead of edit Wikipedia![FBDB] ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:27, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
Nice to see another chess fan around. I play chess puzzles in my spare time (sometimes it seeps into my Wikipedia editing). Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:33, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It seems like everyone has an impersonator now, TheManInTheBlackHat included! Wonder when mine will crop up. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:31, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe I've had an impersonator yet.... or at least not from what I can remember. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:34, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In a way that makes us the lucky ones, no? Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:36, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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)? TheManInTheBlackHat (Talk) 16:41, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There are various ways one can get around IP blocks. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:42, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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). HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:52, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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 Facepalm Facepalm ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:48, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:50, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:04, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Them? When I didn't follow WP:DENY? Don't worry, I've read and learned about it :) Tails Wx 17:07, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No. Different user. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:12, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think Blaze Wolf is referring to User:Nvthan who impersonated Nythar. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 17:14, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure. Sometimes I don't get things right ;) Tails Wx 17:16, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Hurricane Henri

The article Hurricane Henri you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Hurricane Henri for comments about the article, and Talk:Hurricane Henri/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

👏👏👏 ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 20:07, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Blaze Wolf! Thanks also to LunaEatsTuna for reviewing the article :) Tails Wx 20:12, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I second Blaze Wolf. Congrats Tails! I wish I could have the courage to nominate an article for GA, I'm nervous enough when it comes to DYK! Schminnte (talk • contribs) 21:58, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Schminnte! I'm sure you can overcome your fears of nominating an article, but for me, I can't overcome my fears off of Wikipedia. :( Tails Wx 22:16, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
