No Country for Old Men
[edit]With due respect, the moral choices regarding the assessment and taking of found property is a central plot device for the film "No Country for Old Men." The previous "See also" section was added without any support or justification from the above text, and as a tangent was understandably reverted. However, that oversight was mitigated in the subsequent substantive edit. Please revert "See also" section.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.9.232.163 (talk) 23:33, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi, you were reverted because 1.) You didn't provide any reliable sources to back up the film exposing the "grey areas, consequences, and realism" involving misplaced property; as well as the "finders, keepers" approach being the central plot of the film. 2.) As mentioned by Dawnleelynn, per MOS:ALSO, the "See also" section should "reflect the links that would be present in a comprehensive article on the topic." Meaning something about lost property has no point in being included into that section. Also, most film-related articles do not have a "See also" section, unless it's an article including the characters from the film or something related to it, (i.e. Halloween / List of Halloween characters, Jurassic World / List of films featuring dinosaurs). Hope this helped explain things; let me know if you have any other questions. – Braxton C. Womacktalk to me! 03:08, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
June 2019 WPTC Newsletter
[edit]
Volume XIV, Issue 39, May 31, 2019 ![]() The Hurricane Herald is the arbitrarily periodical newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The newsletter aims to provide in summary the recent activities and developments of the WikiProject, in addition to global tropical cyclone activity. The Hurricane Herald has been running since its first edition ran on June 4, 2006; it has been almost thirteen years since that time. If you wish to receive or discontinue subscription to this newsletter, please visit the mailing list. This issue of The Hurricane Herald covers all project related events from April 14–May 31, 2019. This edition's editor and author is Hurricane Noah (talk · contribs). Please visit this page and bookmark any suggestions of interest to you. This will help improve the newsletter and other cyclone-related articles. Past editions can be viewed here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Article of the month, by Jason Rees History of tropical cyclone naming - The practice of using names to identify tropical cyclones goes back several centuries, with storms named after places, saints or things they hit before the formal start of naming in each basin. The credit for the first usage of personal names for weather systems is given to the Queensland Government Meteorologist Clement Wragge, who named tropical cyclones and anticyclones between 1887 and 1907. This system of naming fell into disuse for several years after Wragge retired, until it was revived in the latter part of World War II for the Western Pacific basin. Over the following decades, various naming schemes have been introduced for the world's oceans, including for parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The majority of these lists are compiled by the World Meteorological Organization's tropical cyclone committee for the region and include names from different cultures as well as languages. Over the years there has been controversy over the names used at various times, with names being dropped for religious and political reasons. For example, female names were exclusively used in the basins at various times between 1945 - 2000 and were the subject of several protests. The names of significant tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Australian region are retired from the naming lists and replaced with another name, at meetings of the various tropical cyclone committees. Storm of the month and other tropical activity ![]() Cyclone Fani was an extremely severe cyclonic storm that made landfall in Odisha, India on May 3. The storm achieved peak intensity as a near Category 5-equivalent cyclone with 3-minute sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 250 km/h (155 mph), and a minimum central pressure of 937 hPa (mbar). Fani caused over $1.8 billion (2019 USD) in damage in India and Bangladesh and killed at least 89 people.
New WikiProject Members since the last newsletter in April 2019 More information can be found here. This list lists members who have joined/rejoined the WikiProject since the release of the last issue in April 2019. Sorted chronologically. Struckout users denote users who have left or have been banned. 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! Editorial for welcoming new users, by Hurricanehink Every year, editors new and old help maintain the new season of season articles. The older users are likely used to the standards of the project, such as how to Wikilink and reference properly. Newer users might make mistakes, and they might make them over and over again if they don't know better. If anyone (who happens to read this) comes across a new user, please don't bite, because with enough pushback, they'll decide that this group of editors is too mean, and unfun. This is all a volunteer project; no one can force anyone to do anything. We're all on here because of our love of knowledge and tropical cyclones. If you find someone new, consider using the official WPTC welcome template - Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Welcome. I also encourage that if you know any tropical cyclone researchers, please speak up and try recruiting them to edit. Veteran editors can't keep editing forever. Life gets busy, and the real world beckons! Member of the month (edition) – Yellow Evan ![]() Yellow Evan has been involved with WPTC since 2008. Since the last newsletter, Yellow Evan has taken 5 typhoon articles to good article status as well as created 2 more. Overall, he has created and/or significantly contributed to more than 130 good articles. Your work in the Western Pacific Basin is invaluable... Thank you for your contributions!

[edit]Why will you not discuss your concerns on the article talk page? You seem to be violating the very polices you claim to represent.Tomcaly (talk) 04:54, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
Are you not going to partake in the very civil discussion? Is this not what Wikipedia policy dictates to have a cordial discussion to resolve a disagreement?107.26.180.9 (talk) 04:43, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

- No worries! Just be sure you use the sandbox to make test edits like that. – Braxton C. Womacktalk to me! 22:11, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
Days of our Lives: Rex and Sarah
[edit]His character profile on Wikipedia has to say "wife" instead of "spouse" because spouse doesn't cone through. It is nothing to do with me wanting it to say that. If you can find a way to make the template have it show up, then go for it. Otherwise it has to say "wife". Arjoccolenty (talk) 01:18, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
- It is fixed now — "spouse" was listed twice within the template, which is why it was not showing up. – Braxton C. Womacktalk to me! 01:52, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

[edit]WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors
[edit]Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.
We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. NoahTalk 04:24, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
